mimifastino wrote “Very expensive show. I wonder if they’ll even make money after evicting Baby G. She had the African vote. And a lot of people have switched off. Only Nigerians are voting now. Let’s look at costs. Diesel, staff, production, equipment, license fees to Endemol, subscription split with S.A. parent, taxes to Lagos State etc etc. Not even the other African countries can afford to do BBN. Too many overheads.”
