Nigerian Man Causes Stir On Twitter After Expressing Sadness Over Prize Difference Between BBNaija & Cowbell Shows.
A Nigerian man identified as Smith Gbenga Lawson has caused quite a stir on social media after pointing out that Big Brother Naija show rewards contestants more than Cowbellpedia.
BB Naija is a reality TV show that brings people of all walks of life to live under one roof for few months and compete among themselves.
Cowbellpedia is a Nigerian national mathematics television quiz show that tests students’ mathematics adroitness and rewards the best.
While BB Naija rewards the winner with a large sum of money and other prizes, Cowbellpedia winner goes home with less than five per cent of the reward BBNaija winner gets.

His question generated some reactions as Nigerians react via his comment section with their opinions.
Look at the background and tell me how many sponsors you can see.

“Truth is I understand what you are trying to say but the truth is the BBN is business and a money spinner for the sponsors. The payment is a reward for helping them earn while the other is a donation more or less.”

I understand your point but have it in mind that entertainment industry pays more than educational sector.
Do you know the number of sponsors and huge amount of money they might before and after running the program?
That can’t be compared with the mathematics competition
