    Big Brother Conspiracy Theories We Have No Choice but To Believe 

    Biggie’s been here for a while, so it’s only normal that people have thoughts and opinions about him, his people, and the way they run the show. Here are ours.

    The voice of Big Brother 

    Yes, Ik Osakioduwa was the host of Big Brother Africa from Season 4-9, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t returned once or twice to talk to the housemates as Biggie.

    Biggie has babies

    It’s no surprise that Big Brother, like every other responsible older sibling or guardian, has his favourites. He doesn’t eventries to hide it; he loves his babies, his babies love him, and we all know this. They might not get preferential treatment from production, but you will hear his love for them every time he talks to his favourites.

    The show is pre-recorded

    After missing one too many events and hearing all the hot gist from the housemates post-show, Big Brother and his team members might never beat the “pre-recorded” allegations.

    It’s also scripted 

    Something about the way some fights escalate and how some housemates move like they’re wearing puppet strings make us feel like the shit that happens in Biggie’s house isn’t a hundred percent real. We’re not saying he writes a full script and hands it to his children. We’re just saying, no one really knows what happens in the diary room when no one’s watching.

    Production handpicks the winners

    By all means, vote for your fave. But after watching the past seasons and seeing how things go down on the show, we suggest you pray long and hard too.You can vote all you want, but if Big Brother has decided your fave won’t win, they will  never smell that money.

    Biggie picks villains

    The same way he picks his protagonistsis the same way he picks their antagonists. Sometimes it might be painfully obvious  but you might never see it coming at other times.

    Production plants

    If Mercy Eke can bring people into Biggie’s house so she has close friends there, do you really think production can’t give housemates tasks and plant them in the house? We’ve had house guests and fake housemates, which are their obvious plants, but what if they have others we don’t know about?

  • The 5 Worst Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories We’ve Heard

    The 5 Worst Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories We’ve Heard

    Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories

    It’s safe to say that Miss Rona‘s arrival threw the world headfirst into chaos. A lot of people currently existing have never lived through a pandemic, and the fact that new things keep being discovered about the virus every day has left people confused and scared as shit.

    Then there are the people who believe they have everything figured out. They have bogus theories about Rona V’s origin story and will tell anyone who will listen…usually on Facebook because the people on there find these garbage theories easy to believe for some reason.

    1) That the virus is being caused by 5G towers.

    Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories

    Just because the rollout of 5G was happening at the same time COVID-19 hit, conspiracy theorists insist that 5G towers and Lady Corona are connected. Which is insane because it’s biologically impossible for a virus to spread via the electromagnetic spectrum (the spectrum is made up of wave/protons while viruses are comprised of proteins and nucleic acids). That didn’t stop them from burning down 5G towers in the UK though.

    2) Bill Gates is responsible for everything. (The Gates of Hell)

    Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories

    Anti-Vaxxers saw a video of a 2015 Ted Talk given by Bill Gates where he spoke about the (then) Ebola outbreak and warned of a future pandemic. They took this to mean that Bill had foreknowledge of Mistress Orona’s world tour and declared that the whole thing was Bill’s evil plan to force vaccinations on everyone on the planet. When it became news that Bill is currently funding COVID-19 vaccine research, the theory evolved to include a plan to depopulate Africa and use the vaccine program to inject microchips into people that could be used to track and control them.

    Keep in mind that Daddy Bill has been involved in vaccine research funding for decades. If he wanted to serve Captain Planet villain realness, he would’ve done so a long time ago.

    3) That the virus was created by China as a biological weapon.

    Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories

    The first version of this one involved the virus being created in a lab by the Chinese and then somehow getting out, à la Resident Evil. That wasn’t juicy enough though so it evolved to include a subplot of China creating it as a bioweapon. Thanks to genetic sequencing, this has been debunked.

    4) That the virus isn’t real.

    Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories

    Some people believe the virus is a hoax and the governments of the world are using the fear to take away our freedom. This particular theory is so strong that it has inspired anti-lockdown protests in the US. At this rate, they’re all going to end up like the guy in the meme above.

    5) That the current infection/death numbers are inflated.

    Coronavirus Conspiracy Theories

    With the way this virus spreads, there is every chance that a ton of deaths have happened that the government doesn’t even know about. Don’t dull yourself.

    On today’s episode of Zikoko’s one-minute series, Isolation Diary, the host tackles conspiracy theories and has a message for the people who believe in them blindly. Check it out below:
