Northern Youths Call On Nigerian Government To Ban BBNaija

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has urged the Nigerian government to prohibit the broadcast of the reality television show Big Brother Naija, often known as BBNaija.

BBNaija, according to AYCF National President Yerima Shettima, encourages immorality and sexual pleasure, and so should be outlawed in Nigeria.

On Friday, Shettima spoke with the Daily Post, calling the reality program as a disaster that Nigeria should shun.

“It’s a calamity as far as I am concerned; I have never believed in BBNaija and do not believe it is right because the show is an act of immorality. Such a show should not be encouraged.

“I have often said this show promotes immorality and the Nigerian government should please ban it, it should not be allowed to be aired in our country.

“You see, a lot of people watch to see immorality acts, those sex things displaying their nakedness, and they have made it look like a blue film (X-rated film), so, this must be discouraged.

“I urge true lovers of the country to join hands and call the attention of the government on the implication of this programme which must be discouraged,” he said.

BBNaija housemates have been caught on camera having sex or engaging in other sorts of sexual activity over the years.

However, many have claimed that viewers have the option of watching or not watching the broadcast.
