The ninth season of the annual reality show started on July 28, featuring 28 housemates who appeared in duos.
The ace actress, in a post on her Instagram page on Monday, wondered why people can be happy about a TV show when Nigerians struggle to survive.
She lamented that people were hungry, adding that attention should be focused more on the country’s problems.
She wrote: “E don red for our country and I still dey see some people dey happy about BBN.
“Hmmmmm nawa o Oh una still get enough money for DATA Abi? If you guys do not complain, then who am I to do so?
“I am majorly concerned about the poor masses, though. That you can survive does not mean that everyone can.
“Crime is now happening everywhere, insecurity has become the order of the day and everyone is literally calm. THE EARLIER, THE BETTER.”
The season, with the theme, “No Loose Guard”, promises exciting twists designed to keep viewers on the edge of their seats for the next 10 weeks.
