ROUNDCHECK FINDINGS

One of the buzzing news on social media is the just concluded Big brother naija season 5 that ended last night. People who didn’t know when it started got to know the end because of the great number of followers the reality show has generated in the period of three months. It is no longer a news that Laycon was announced winner of the #85millions worth of prize.
