The Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC,
has come under attack over its call on President Muhammadu Buhari to stop the
airing of Big Brother Naija reality TV show.
MURIC had, in a statement attacked the government of President Muhammadu Buhari for allowing
the BBNaija show to go on.
The Islamic group labelled the
show being aired on national television as immoral, dangerous and Bohemian.
However, Nigerians on social
media have opposed MURIC’s call for the banning of the reality show, arguing
that the show is rated 18.
Here are some reactions gathered from Twitter:
@4eyedmonk “MURIC needs to know
the difference between free-to-air TV and subscription based TV. DSTV where Big
Brother is airing is a subscription based TV where you go to pay to consume
content, because you want to not because you don’t have other options.”
@Zaddy_Nomso “#BBNaija is a paid
TV station, if you don’t like it watch Nat Geo Wild. Some of our Moral leaders
are assaulting Women and getting protected. MURIC where is this energy when
there is suffering and killing in the land?
@Teefhay “As a muslim sef I’m
sorry to say this but the leader of this MURIC is a fool.”
@Balogun3103 “MURIC sends
petition letter to Buhari to cancel #BBNaija2019 with immediate effect. Nigeria
is not Saudi Arabia.”
@Buzuzu7 “Dear MURIC more
Nigerians die from hunger and depression and many more have no access to tv
talk more of cable tv. Direct this energy at pressuring this government to make
good policies that will have positive impact on the people.BBNaija2019 is the least
of our problems.”
@UniqueItohan “So they are seeing
tv reality show but blind to the havocs Fulani herdsmen are committing? You are
telling me killing people in their own community, land or house is normal and
can be over looked.”
@DamyAdeyemi “Although I’m not a
fan of #BBNaija2019, but asking govt to ban it is just laughable.”
@Fikkypearl “MURIC I’ve not seen
you guys cry out against Muslim clerics that rape girls, yet it’s BBNaija
that’s your headache.You think Nigeria belongs to you, the show is rated 18 and
let me remind you there’s parental control on DSTV. Stop making noise Falz is
still waiting for you in court.”
@Ashawolord1 “Plsss tell ur MURIC
to channel their energy on giving u better advice. We Nigerians are not
complaining about #BBNaija at least that’s giving us much more pleasure than
reading or watching ur Fulani herdsmen.”
@Ayurmeday “To start with, are we
in a Muslim Country? Secondly, will stopping the reality show solve the
country’s problems?
@Delaniyi “Must you watch it,
BBNaija is rated 18.There are lot of porn site out there.If you dont go there,
you wont see it.You and your kids should stop watching it if you think its
immoral.”
