“The BBNaija show is a platform for contestants to expand and develop their talents; I believe they have something unique to showcase about themselves.
“Basically they should market themselves in the house to the global viewers,’’ Miyonse said.
“Whatever they are going to do, should be in such a way that when they are out of the house, they would be able to pick up from where they started.
On his expectations from the show, Miyonse said that whatever shortcomings the show had previously, the organisers would improve on it.
