We have culture and
tradition in this country that we must not allow to die. The Federal
Government, through the Minister of Information and Culture, needs to
reconsider the implications of Big Brother Naija on our culture and youths.
The content of Big Brother
Naija reality show is alien to our culture. This show is contrary to the rich
cultural values we are trying to promote and bring to the front burner.
It is sad that our
young children including adults are made to watch such content. This kind of
programme promotes obscenity and immorality. We must not encourage such if our
hallowed cultural heritage would be preserved. We cannot prevent our
inquisitive young ones from watching the obscene displays that permeate the
show.
I think the Nigeria
Broadcasting Commission (NBC) should, without delay, stop this programme if
this government means business in the promotion of our cultural values.
The show does not add
any value to our education, social and economic life. It is a big mockery of
Nigerian culture and tradition. I will want to urge all parents and guardians
to be on their guard and guide their children and wards aright on what they
watch on TV.
The implication of
allowing the children to keep watching this show can be negative. Our children
should not be allowed to be corrupt because this may affect their future
aspiration.
