As it has been realized the boarding of twenty-two Housemates under one roof , for a specific length of time, giving them the opportunity to interact on a daily basis will exposure the innate potentials they possess that could be harnessed and tapped for productive ends.
They are expected to perfect assignments delegated to them by a sort of moderator who will be controlling their moves and actions as well as grading them as and when the show progresses. Along the way they will be learning new skills from their co competitors in the House, displaying coping mechanisms under various conditions and probably learn how to comport themselves when they find themselves in any public arena or gathering.
These Housemates will either be taught or learn by themselves how to prop up their self esteem, to be courteous, courageous and control their ego under stressful conditions. They will be taught how to express themselves publicly, respond to questions, how to play certain roles in real life situations. In addition, some corporate institutions will use the platform to teach or school the Housemates and by extension the watching public what types of service deliveries they could offer, how to go about performing certain tasks and anything else that has to do with empowering their minds towards cultivating positive mindsets.
