A non-governmental organization, called CitizenGO, is said to currently
be garnering votes online to terminate the airing of popular reality TV show,
Big Brother Naija.
Read the group's petition:
“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.”
