N200m for grab as ‘Labour Room’ National Reality Show takes off, engages 37 contestants: All is now set for the first ever national Reality TV show, tagged ‘ The Labour Room,’ as the organizer have now announced the conclusion of a three (3) day training for the 37 contestants of the Reality show.
Recall that 37 contestants were chosen from across the country to participate in the ‘Labour Room’ Reality Show where questions of national concerns would be raised and addressed. Besides the serious issues the show tends to address, it will thrill Nigerians as it has been designed by the organizers to equally entertain. At the end of the reality show, four winners will emerge and they will share N200m as prize money.
Ahead of the kick-off of the show, the thoroughly-selected housemates went through intensive sessions to have a better picture of what their 60-day stay in the mansion would look like and to understand their roles as housemates.
Captains of industries from all walks of life were on ground to facilitate, and drill the contestants on the ideals of the show.
One of the organizer’s strong position is to sensitize against S3xual abuse, immoral relationship, and other immoralities. Relatively, the show will address the question of religious and ethnic tolerance.
Addressing newsmen at the conclusion of the training session, the National Coordinator of the project, Comrade Isaac Balami David reiterated that the organization cannot allow immorality and socio-economic decadence to fester, and as such, the Nigerian youth should take up their destiny in their hands.
In his charge to the contestants, Balami said, “As youths, I cannot imagine that we are still complaining about our problems when we can collectively solve it in our individual ways. No one else knows our narrative better than us and no one else can fix things better than us.
‘’This is our Nigeria and we have a great deal of hope in it. We will make it prosper no matter what and so help us God,’’ Balami said.
The reality TV show, The Labour Room, a youth-oriented programme aimed at solving the myriad of socio-economic problems bedeviling Nigeria is projected to have over 200 million viewers across Africa and the world.

Governors, first class traditional rulers, and top political leaders from Nigeria and across the world are expected to visit the house at interval to interact with the housemates and to spice up the show.
