<\/p>\nThelma, among other housemates, brought into the house a different \u2018American accent\u2019.<\/p>\n
However, Thelma\u2019s case seems to be the worst as hers seems not to be genuine, which has generated reactions from Nigerians online.<\/p>\n
Recall that some Nigerians described choice of housemates in the ongoing fourth season of the Big Brother Naija reality show as \u201cmore foreign than Nigerian.\u201d<\/p>\n
Respondents said that it was puzzling how Manchester-based Mike, London police officer, Khafi and Ike, who said this was his first one in Lagos, made the cut, while thousands of Nigerians flooded audition centres in February.<\/p>\n
Viewers felt it was unfair to have people risk their lives to the audition and then pick Nigerians in the diaspora.<\/p>\n
Here are comments of Nigerians gathered by DAILY POST from Twitter:<\/p>\n
