Federal government has ordered the National Broadcasting Corporation, NBC to investigate why the Big Brother Nigeria show is being shot in South Africa.
In a statement in Abuja on Tuesday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed directed the NBC to determine whether Multi-Choice, by shooting the show in South Africa, has breached the Nigerian Broadcasting Code in any way.
He said the commission should also investigate the issue of possible deceit, since the viewing public was never told that the event would be staged outside Nigeria.
“As a country of laws, only the outcome of the investigation will determine our next line of action,’’ he said.
The minister said concerned Nigerians had bombarded his office with calls to complain about what they regard as an anomaly of shooting outside the country a show meant for Nigerians. He urged them to remain calm while the NBC investigates the issue and submits its findings.
Nigerians have also kicked against the shooting of the TV reality series in South Africa.

ReplyDeleteInterest on immorality is the priority of some people. Why not think of something of more significance to the youth? I see no reason why serious attention should be given to the show.
ReplyDeleteHow will they shot the show in Nigeria with the power instability and kidnapping.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad. It tells you what this useless APC government has reduced Nigeria to. Nigeria is now a laughing stock in international community. Just imagine the disgrace and diplomatic embarrassment and disgrace.
ReplyDeleteInvestigate why I haven't had nepa light this year, why did buhari go to UK for medical, investigate the numerous kidnapping of innocent people, investigate why dollar to naira is 500naira. How much did u contribute to the show? Why Is kerosene 550 per litre? Formerly 100naira. Oh God, nigeria
ReplyDeleteSometimes i wonder who are the advisers of this APC led government and what are their intentions to those in authority and those that are been governed? If you feel threatened by the location, why don't you create something that can engage the youth.
