Chairperson, House of
Representatives Committee on Women Affairs and Social Development, Hon. Wunmi
Onanuga, has lashed out at reality show, Big Brother Nigeria, saying it has
been reduced to pornography.
She said this in a recent
interview with TheNation, when asked about her opinion about this current Big
Brother Naija show.
According to her: “First of all,
I don’t watch it. Because the first time, I did, I think it was four or five
years ago. I don’t know what I was doing that night. I think I was unable to
sleep because I had lots of stuff I was writing that night. .
The television was on so I could
have sound in my room. I don’t know how I got to watch it that night and I saw
how they were being intimate on the programme, and I was like: is this what
they do?
I was shocked that that programme
would get to the point where on live television, adults, so to speak…they’re
adults, they can do what they like, but they have turned it to pornography. .
Even if it was under the duvet or
whatever it is, it was obvious they were getting intimate. And I just got
disgusted. For me, it is a personal thing and I do not agree with the values it
is sending across.
We have enough problems with
young people being sexually active at a very young age. We don’t need a
programme that will tell them that being that active is moral. It is immoral!
That is personal. .
Those who believe they can make
so much money with a programme like that, I think everything these days is
reduced to naira and kobo. But we have so many intelligent, talented, gifted
people out there who need to be encouraged.
There are so many people who have
invented things in this country, who exactly is encouraging them? We talk about
corporate social responsibility, what exactly is the CSR of the companies who
make money in this country? .
A young man at the time I watched
the programme got a First Class from a university in Nigeria and he was given a
cheque of N100,000, and a person who was cooped up in a place for three months
gets N30 million.”
