A UK media house recently claimed that Khafi is facing a sack threat for going into the Big Brother house without due permission and for constantly romping between the sheets with fellow housemate Gedoni. This news has generated a lot of reactions from Nigerians.
Most of them were especially surprised that Khafi left a job worth £30,000 (N13 million) to participate in the reality show.
In this regard, a number of Nigerians berated Khafi through tweets. One of these people is a Twitter user identified as @IgweOfficial. This tweep had this to say:
“Khafi earns about 13 million naira per annum working with the UK Police. If I earn that much I won’t go for big brother I know I won’t win sha. I can’t keep up with the Instagram lifestyle to stay relevant.”
In light of what was said about Khafi, former BBNaija housemate Leo Da Silva shared a tweet in defense of the UK policewoman.
He said that Big Brother Nigeria is not just about the cash prize, but it is also about having a platform on which one can increase one’s earnings. Leo also maintained the position that, in London, N13 million is not a lot of money.

Big brother is a platform.Only looking at it as a cash prize thing, you’re not seeing the bigger picture. She can do a lot of things that will earn her the cash prize over time and continue earning her the cash prize.13m a year with taxes and cost of living isn’t enough. https://t.co/NP5cEA5sdf

I never put the cost of living into consideration so you are right. But there are people who went to Big brother we don’t even know now or have forgotten about so it’s better we consider the worse case scenario too.
