Pere Egbi, a former participant in the Big Brother Naija reality show, has expressed his view that past winners of the competition did not deserve their prizes. He suggested that the voting pattern among Nigerians was driven more by emotions than logical considerations.

In his statement, Pere implied that if the reality show were in South Africa or the United States, the winners might have been different due to a more discerning voting process. Despite his participation in the show twice, first in the 'Shine Ya Eye' season in 2021 and later in the All-Stars edition in 2023, Pere asserted that he would decline the opportunity to participate again.

During a recent discussion, Pere shared his perspective: "My experience in the Big Brother Naija house was a rollercoaster. I had different encounters with different people and experiences that gave me something. Overall, it was good. But if I were asked to return to the [BBNaija] house again, I would not. Simply because I feel Nigerians are not ready for reality TV. Many Nigerians who vote for these guys in these shows in Nigeria, especially Big Brother, are one-track-minded. I’m being honest; if this were a South African or American show, I don’t think the people who won will win.”
