The ongoing Nigerian reality television series called Naija Hood Rep has tasked the housemates to present their cultures in a dramatic form. 

The umpire known as the Landlord in the competition, having put the hood reps in groups, directed them to include the name of the hood, location of the hood, culture of the hood, dialect, celebrities and predominant celebrities of the hood. 

The Landlord added that they would be judged based on originality, creativity, teamwork and coordination. 

Group A dramatized the people of Yenagoa, Asaba, Akure and Isale-Eko, where the Yenagoa man is the canoe paddler and the rest are the passengers on the boat discussing their food, dress and language of their respective cultures. 

In Group B, the Maiduguri character described the people as humble, explaining that both the rich and the poor sit on the floor and that they have fresh fish over there. Other members of the group who represented Enugu spoke loftily about the food and culture.

Each of the groups representing different tribes displayed their knowledge and beauty  of the ethnic groups 

Speaking with Chief Executive Officer, Nevada Bridge TV, Neville Sajere noted that the show is targeted at the roots creation of nostalgia for those whose regions are deeply rooted in the hoods while serving as a tool of unifying the different cultures.
