Journalist Kemi Olunloyo has spoken against the trend which sees celebrities paying people to vote for BBNaija housemates.

Every BBNaija reality TV show season sees some celebrities take to the streets with recharge cards which they give to people whom they influence to vote for the particular housemate they are rooting for.

This trend has been condemned by Kemi Olunloyo who took to Twitter to advise people to use their own money to vote instead of allowing a celebrity to influence them.

“Nobody needs financial assistance to VOTE on #BBNaijaLockdown2020 STOP that fraudulent behavior. If you like a contestant, vote with your money not a celebrity paying you to vote. It is this nonsense attitude that messed up Nigeria. Politicians paying you to vote for them,” she tweeted.
