Enuagwuna Ubaka, the convener who spoke at the opening ceremony for the show said his team hopes to change the narrative of the teaching profession in Nigeria.
Ubaka's words:
“The show is about letting people know that teachers deserve more and that what is being given currently is not commensurate with what they are giving to society.
“I mean these are the people that train the future generation and they deserve to be recognised. If other shows give out a lot of money to their participants, I think teachers deserve more because they have more impact.”
The convener revealed that the housemates were selected randomly across the country with priority based on their intellectual capabilities.
He noted that the selected housemates would be required to carry out mental-based tasks in the house.
He added:
“For you to come into the house you must be very smart so we’re giving them tasks that will test their mental capabilities and we have professional judges that will also look at how strong they are mental.
"We have mental-based tasks, so questions, and research and exercises that will drill them."
Housemates speak
Speaking about making it to the teachers' house, one of the contestants, Mbadugha Dorcas, confirmed that she was motivated by the wins of the previous housemates.
A nursery school teacher from Port Harcourt, Dorcas said:
“I saw the show last year and this year and I felt if I participate in the show, I have a lot to learn from my fellow teachers from the different parts of the country.
"We’ll also learn from what will be taught in the house, it’s all about learning and that’s why I love the show."
For Richard Nnanna - a Lagos-based science teacher - the teachers’ ability to showcase their talents and express themselves more freely would change the education sector in Nigeria.
Nnanna said:
“The show gives exposure and exposure simply means people who don’t have knowledge of the issues that we have in society.
"By watching the show and getting to learn one or two things from there, stakeholders and more sponsors will buy into education because they’re seeing things that they’re not used to."
