BBNaija Stars Are Not Automatic Nollywood Material
BamBam and Bisola
Even after we have seen the Bisolas of BBNaija star in Nollywood films, there is a certain expectation we have of reality TV stars, and in most cases, it is not always correct.
Over the last weekend, filmmaker, Chinneylove, called Big Brother Naija Season Three housemate-turned-actor BamBam unprofessional, and Silverscreen wonders by what standards such an allegation was made.

The definition of an actor is a person whose profession is acting on the stage, in films, or on television. By this definition BBNaija’s BamBam is not an automatic stuff of Nollywood; but that does not mean she cannot be. She just cannot be held to the same standards as a professional actor, just as other BBNaija stars must not be held to any other standards asides reality TV.
When it comes to reality TV, which is their claim to fame, these stars excel; case in point, the drama-filled BBNaija Reunion, Double Wahala Reloaded.
Industry stakeholders and watchers should not assume that every reality TV star is an automatic actor, musician or performer. Each man must toe his own path without judgement.
