What TTT thought vs what most Nigerians really think

TTT got his research wrong and it cost him 25 million naira.TTT, one of the 2017 Big Brother Naija housemates was evicted on Sunday, March 19, 2017, and during his conversation with Ebuka, he said a research had shown him that Nigerians have a funny way of treating people once they find out that they are married.
So, I decided to carry out my own research, thus; What TTT thought vs how Nigerians really think.playThinTallTony evicted from the BBN competition

I'm not going to pretend that I understood his conversation with Ebuka as I'm not exactly sure about how people treat married people, but, my research has shown me that the housemate lost for several reasons and being married isn't one of them.
During my conversations with some hardcore followers of the show, I discovered that most of them think he played on their emotions, starting from the day he stripped while canvassing for likes amongst his fellow housemates.
After he stripped, he won lots of followers. However, he lost those followers the moment they found out that he was married.playTTT strips on Live Television

He didn't lose them because he was married [that would only prove his research right]. He lost because he chose to keep his wife and kids a secret, called his daughter his God-daughter, told Jon his family members were all dead and said he was single by 'God's grace' - all on Live TV.
At that moment, every past action of his which had appealed to the viewer's emotions were interpreted as manipulative. He didn't just lie or withhold his private life to viewers and his fellow housemates, he became romantically involved with Bisola, who at one time is believed to have given him a blow job on Live TV.playTTT gets evicted from Big Brother Naija

It's one thing to keep your private life away from the public, it's another to lie about it and take advantage of people's feelings in the process.
To Nigerians, Bisola is the victim; a woman who was misled by a married man. She became a representation of sidechicks who don't even know that they are one because they have been lied to.
It didn't matter that TTT had the support of his wife, Nigerians took it personal.playBisola, TTT, Tboss

TTT chose the wrong game strategy. Nigerians can be very sentimental and he could have appealed to their emotions with his family and beautiful kids.
Better still, he could have separated his family from the game while making sure not to engage in any act that would disrespect something Nigerians consider valuable; family.
TTT didn't lose because he was the most boring housemate, he lost because he didn't carry out a proper research about how Nigerians feel about married men.playBisola and TTT during kissing festival

He forgot quickly that Richard, a married man from Tanzania, who wasn't even faithful to his wife on Live TV, won the 2nd edition of Big Brother Africa.
The difference between TTT and Richard? Richard didn't lie about his wife, neither did he proclaim his family dead on live Television.
With 25 million naira gone, one can only hope TTT takes out time to conduct a proper research about how Nigerians really think.
He thought Nigerians would 'think funny' about his marital status - he thought wrongly and it cost him the prize money.
