Over the past weeks, Big Brother Naija reality show has been on the lips of virtually everyone in Nigeria for both the right and all the wrong reasons.
A million and one persons have suddenly worn the ‘holier than thou’ garments and are out with their fangs to make sure the popular reality TV show is stopped since the content is more erotic than entertaining.
Deep down within, most of these people are actually enjoying the show but would scream down the roofs at the slightest mention of a campaign against the high sexual content.
Research has shown that a high degree of Nigerians love sex, hence the recent increase on cheating and high divorce rate fuelled by partners not being able to get as much sexual satisfaction as they craved.
Currently, a non-governmental organization, known as CitizenGO, is garnering votes online to terminate the airing of the show.
Their petition reads: “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.”
One self confessed pastor even took the vent to a whole new level when he vehemently placed a curse on anyone who would attempt to sponsor the show subsequently.
The thing about Nigerians is that religion appears to have taken a better part of people’s sanity that they can’t do without attaching religious sentiments to other issues.
Wait!! Does it mean that some people actually have not seen the parental advisory vividly stated on the screen that clearly rates the programme at 18 and above?
Enough with the complaints about the reality show being utterly erotic and not depicting the Nigerian culture.
Although people have argued that the present state of the nation calls for programmes that would engage youths more in nation building, but variety is the spice of life they say.
Even most of the movies are not any better because hardly will you see a movie without traces of sexual immorality.
Except you are being forced into watching the show, there are a host of other programmes being aired on a daily basis which cover virtually every facet of life.
All you need to do is to simply scroll through the channels that appeals most to your need, stay glued to it and learn as much as you wish to do.
One of the evicted housemates, Gifty disclosed in an interview that most of those displays we consider lewd in the Big Brother House are actually being acted and part of the game plan of the supposed actors, therefore doesn’t necessarily imply that the housemates are as bad as projected.
Not to get it wrong, there is actually no justification for the displays of what they comfortably termed moral decadence by the housemates but Nigerians should learn to approach things with some sense of maturity.
There are loads of other things to complain and sign petitions about ranging from imminent corruption that has done more harm than good to the country, bad governance, horrible state of the roads, poor power supply, terrorism, unemployment among youths and a host of others.
On a lighter note, the parent company of DSTV/GOTV is called ‘Multichoice’ probably because it presents viewers with different choices leaving them to choose the one that is best for them.
