Media Mogul, Dele Momodu has shown his support for Kiddwaya in the 2020 edition of the reality TV show, Big Brother Naija.
Momodu on Friday said BBNaija is about entertainment and branding opportunities for housemates, adding that the criteria for winning should not be about the poorest housemate.
According to him, winning the grand prize of N85m would not make any housemate the richest at the end of the game.
Momodu said this on his Twitter page, even as he showed support for the billionaire’s son, Kiddwaya.
His tweet read: “This show is not just about money, it is about ENTERTAINMENT and BRANDING opportunities for the housemates. Please, let’s stop promoting POVERTY mentality.
“Winning won’t make you the richest HOUSEMATE! Let’s play and enjoy the game by voting for the perfect gentleman who rocks, Kiddwaya!”
In respond to this many Nigerians has taken to twitter to express their dissatisfaction, isinuating that Dele Momodu was berating housemates from poor background.
They wondered why Momodu expects them to vote for a billionaire son that is privileged, rather than housemates gifted with talent.
Here are some of their replies:
@Badmusib “Now you want me to vote for Kiddwaya, who comes from a billionaire family, I should abandon Laycon who is a hustler like me? Nah! If you’re are asked to vote for knowledge, will you choose Kiddwaya? Laycon getting that money has more impact on him than Kiddwaya getting it.”
@Airfem234 “ Voting other housemates other than Kiddwaya is in no way promoting poverty mentally. I vote the housemate i connected to from day one and that’s Laycon.”
@Bilkisuroden “ I will vote for laycon with my last money, it’s my money I vote for who entertains me, stop all the perfect gentle man mentality, it won’t work. your candidate gives only romance and sex, and that’s not entertaining to most of us.”
@Pere_ernest “ You mean voting for other housemates is promoting poverty mentality.Despite the fact that you are wealthy sir, you can vote for your fav without throwing insult to others thank you for your understanding.”
@RyanB “ Nobody should come here and say that we hate Kiddwaya, He is actually loveable, his fans will vote for him but in doing so other housemates shouldn’t be downgraded to just “Poverty mentality”, there’s more from them,their amazing individuals, who deserve all the support their getting.”
@Imfaoz “ Yes, it would be poverty mentality’ when people like you praise – sing the looters and downgrade the genuine hustlers who are still hoping for breakthrough. You deleted a tweet only to come up with another bad one. On this one, disappointment is an understatement.”
