BBNaija2019 auditions obstruct traffic

Some Nigerians have expressed diverse reactions as crowds gather to audition for Big Brother Naija across the country on Friday.
Thousands of prospective housemates arrived the venues from as early as 2am to get auditioned in time, with some obstructing free flow of traffic.
The fourth season of the hit reality show was announced on January 15 by organisers, Multichoice and auditions were billed for Friday and Saturday across selected states.
In Abuja, where the auditions took place at Wuse, the rowdy crowd was quite disorganised as people struggled to enter the venue.

Meanwhile, in Lagos, the audition crowd blocked a large portion of Allen, Adeniyi Jones, Ikeja preventing residents from going about their normal activities.
Reacting to the crowd, some Nigerians took to Twitter to express their amazement at the large turn out. They, however, expressed displeasure at the disruption of traffic and their usual activities.
