In a now-deleted Instagram story post, Etiko voiced her discontent, highlighting the contrast between the show's popularity and the realities currently faced by many Nigerians.

She wrote, "E don red for our country and I still dey see some people dey happy about BBN. Hmmmmm nawa o Oh una still get enough money for DATA Abi? If you guys do not complain, then who am I to do so? I am majorly concerned about the poor masses, though. That you can survive does not mean that everyone can. Crime is now happening everywhere, insecurity has become the order of the day and everyone is literally calm. THE EARLIER, THE BETTER."

"E don red for our country and a lot of us are still quiet like everything is fine a nawa o Well if u guys do not complain, who am I to do so? I am majorly concerned about the poor masses, though o. That you can survive does not mean that everyone can oooo. Crime is now happening everywhere, and Insecurity has become the order of the day and everyone is literally calm.
