Why #BBNaija is a calamity -Arewa Youths calls for ban

The Arewa Youths Advisory Forum has called on the Federal Government to ban the reality TV show, Big Brother Naija with immediate effect, TopNaija reports.

The National President of the Forum, Yerima Shettima, made this known while speaking to newsmen on Friday, describing Africa’s most popular reality tv show as “a calamity.”

Shettima said, “It’s a calamity for me; I never believed in BBNaija and I don’t think it’s fair because the show is an act of immorality. Such a spectacle should not be encouraged.

“I have often said that this show encourages immorality and that the Nigerian government should ban it. It should not be allowed to be broadcast in our country.

“You see, a lot of people are watching to see acts of immorality, these sexual things flaunting their nudity, and they make it look like a blue film, so that is to be discouraged.

“I urge true lovers of the country to join hands and draw the government’s attention to the implication of this programme, which should be discouraged.”

Big Brother Naija is a reality TV show in Nigeria that brings people together to live in a house for a stipulated period of time.

The housemates are expected to familiarise themselves with one another, engage in tasks, and entertain the fans.

At the end of the show, the winner, based on fans’ votes, will be awarded a grand prize of N90m.

The season six edition, Shine Ya Eye, is ongoing and has become one of the most talked about subjects on the social media.
