5 influential former BBNaija housemates on social media

The Big Brother Nigeria reality show has now been known as one of the surest ways to become a celebrity in the country.

Many times, the youngsters who participate in the show rise from oblivion to becoming some of the most influential group of Nigerian celebrities in the country.

These reality stars’ influence is often measured by the level of their fanbase as well as followers on social media. It does not escape our attention that some of these followers could be their haters but there is a common saying that haters are fans in disguise.
