A non-governmental organisation called CitizenGO is currently gathering votes online to stop the airing of Big Brother Naija.
The group sent the petition to policy makers, the National Broadcasting Commission, The Presidency and the public.
The collection of signatures which started on Feb. 20, already has a total number of 3,160 signatures. The organisation is hoping to get at least 5,000 signatures.
These are some of their grievances:
“Big Brother Nigeria is a corruption of TV Reality shows. The Nigerian public is complaining about the moral perversity in the House of the Big Brother Nigeria. In one episode last two weeks or so, the inmates were shown openly kissing and caressing one another. This is a celebration of obscenity, eroticism and idleness.
“More importantly, it is a big mockery of Nigerian culture and tradition. Since the inmates are Nigerians, they should have been projecting the Nigerian cultural heritage. But instead of doing that, they are bastardizing it.
“The biggest tragedy of the on-going Big Brother Nigeria is that our children are also glued to the TV screen watching it. Children are our future. Therefore we should protect them from lewd exposure, which might prevent their growth into free, independent and well-developed citizens.
“The NBC must live up to its bidding as a body charged with controlling, monitoring, regulating the electronic media and monitoring of satellite transmission in Nigeria. Our TV stations cannot become dumping grounds for all sorts of immoral programs.”

Very disappointed at the NGO. What morals are they preaching about?

ReplyDeleteFoolishness
ReplyDeleteI support. These are signs of end time, promoting immorality in the society is very very bad. I wonder what the society stands to gain from that show if not the spread of HIV that we're all trying to run away from. The show is absolute rubbish.
ReplyDeleteEnd what? What kind of senseless petition is that. If you are not interested in the programme, grab your remote control and change the channel --- very simple. I you know won watch, me, i won watch; that's my constitutional right.
ReplyDeletePrograms are selected by choice. BBN is not for children. It is rated 18+. If your childre dont obey your instructions, use decoder parental control. Why this noise? And foolish complaint. We all have rights to choice.Very soon some religious minds will cary placard of imorality. Who is forcing you to tune into this channel?
ReplyDeleteRespect your choice through self discipline. No one will ban BBN.

ReplyDeleteIt's pretty easy to type comments online in support of such display of moral depravity. But it's another thing entirely if any of you supporting it will just imagine for one minute that it is your girl child in that whorehouse being rubbed and fondled by urchins to entertain pervert minds. I'll not only sign up for this campaign I'll trump up support for them from quarters of impeccable moral rectitude.

Pastors funicating, odas engaged in rituals, some stinkingly rich while d offering payers can't afford 3square meal. End time my foot
ReplyDeleteWe are very funny in this part of the world, if religion was what makes life beautiful and stainless then even God should have been living in Nigeria. Is there any atrocity in the world that we don't find here, Ritualists, 419, kidnappers, gang rapists, armed rubbers, . . . all sorts; and yet every mousque is filled to the bream on Friday and on Sunday you are a sinner if you don't go to church. These ones dey carry paper dey collect signatures, yeyenatu. If you don't want to watch, then change the channel now or kukuma no pay for the period and switch to local stations, mitv, tvc, ltv, bcos (laughs). . . .
