According to a reliable source, Sierra Leone’s First Lady, Madam Fatima Maada Bio, will on the 31st October 2020 pay a courtesy visit to the Housemates who are currently competing in the ongoing Housemate Salone Season 2.
When in the House, the First Lady would engage the Housemates on her flagship project, “Hands-Off Our Girls”. Besides, she will also encourage them to put on their best performances and furthermore admonish them to put the country in the spotlight for all the good reasons.
It could be recalled that on the 25th October 2020 eviction of certain Housemates took place leaving others to continue to compete in the Reality TV Show that is watched by many in and out of the country.
During a random survey recently undertaken by this news medium to gauge the views of a cross section of Sierra Leoneans relating to the ongoing Housemates Salone programme, what came out glaringly was that many have commended the pace and style at which the Reality TV Show is going.
Some even went to the extent of copiously heaping praises on the organizers, Africell and the Africa Young Voices Media Empire for what they described as a state of the art House in which the Housemates are currently battling for the eye catching sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Million Leones (Le 250M) prize and undertake a round trip to Dubai.
Based on what this medium gathered most expressed admiration over the way and manner in which the House was carefully built and designed to befit such an interesting entertainment competition saying the architectural style is really superb.
It must be noted that according to how the reality show is tailored, the Housemates are expected to display innate talents bordering on creativity, using strong language, displaying humour and nudity all which must captivate the populace and excite them in order to move them to vote for the Housemates they consider are fit and capable to reach the very top.
Interestingly, during a particular stage of the Show, based on the percentage of votes scored by a particular Housemate, such will determine whether he or she will be either evicted from the House or make it to the grand finale. As the show progresses, evictions will continue until the ultimate winner emerges.
Housemates Salone is all about Youth Empowerment. When the successful Housemates are in the House they will be assigned to perform certain tasks that will shape their characters, they will be availed the opportunity to learn new skills, improve on existing ones. They will also be emotionally tested, afforded the space to find panacea to certain human problems and do a host of other things.
Furthermore, the Housemates will benefit from widespread exposure as the Show will be watched near and far. Talents will be spotted and vistas of opportunities could be opened as some of the Housemates would be earmarked to become Brand Ambassadors, movie artists, models etc.
The visit by the First Lady, Madam Fatima Bio, will definitely add flavour to the Reality TV Show.
