SSN NAIJA REALITY TV IN JOS-PLATEAU STATE

 SSN NAIJA Reality TV Has Reshaped Our World, Whether We Like It or Not.

“We're not here to make friends. I’m here to win.” So goes the ultimate reality cliché of the duo of team Plateau in the persons of king Clement Dung Gyang from the Berom tribe of Plateau state and Queen Nankyer Pat Hosea from the Muagavul tribe of Plateau state who are steadily climbing the ladder to showcase plateau state at the 2 months of fame that are the birthright of all Nigerians at the season 2 of the STRONGEST STATE IN NIGERIA REALITY TV SHOW..

The SSN NAIJA reality TV show is a cultural heritage exchange talent show with a competitive edge that has come to be among the most popular on television in the 21st century in West Africa from Nigeria...

With 74 contestants (a male and female from each state in Nigeria) arriving the competition grounds in Plateau state, points from physical and mental tasks have already begun to be gained as the representatives from Plateau state amongst others have begun to take center stage..

According to Chief Solomon Francis Eriogbu, the chief organiser and director general of the reality show, he states that: "Reality series aren’t exactly well respected; critics, social scientists, and even fans never stop unearthing revelations about manipulations, gross indecency and toxic tropes. Yet despite all the antipathy directed at programs like those on cable network, STRONGEST STATE NIGERIA has conquered the culture and captured the worlds attention."

The producers of this show in it's second season happening in the tourist city of Jos-Plateau state claims to give ordinary people extraordinary opportunities to change their lives by showcasing a specific skill or vibrant culture entwined with leadership roles leading to a new career trajectory..

Most participants from the 36 states in Nigeria on interview claim that they entered to get a big break and to develop a career they have always dreamed of.. 

The challenge of getting a reality show to “stick” is even greater in the age of streaming, when viewers’ decisions about what to watch – especially for the younger demographic drawn to reality TV – are measured in seconds, not minutes..

Bala Bamaiyi, National coordinator of the SSN NAIJA reality TV show told the Nollywood Artistes reporters that; "it is vital to have reality shows that made “more noise than all the other ones”..

Audiences for reality TV in Africa are sophisticated and respond well to shows that move the genre on with originality and an element of surprise..

The DG, chief Solomon Francis Eriogbu went on to say that, "to succeed, a reality series needs “twists and turns, physical driven tussles, dilemmas and relatable characters who people can get behind and love.. The day-to-day tasks also influences things when people are voted out. It’s a completely different world in terms of trolling and bullying to when reality TV first started in the 1990s.”
