Breaking: Northern youths demand that BBNaija be banned

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

BBNaija, according to AYCF National President Yerima Shettima, encourages immorality and sexual indulgence, and thus should be banned in Nigeria.

On Friday, Shettima spoke with the Daily Post, describing the reality show as a disaster that Nigeria should reject.

“It’s a calamity in my opinion; I’ve never believed in BBNaija and still don’t believe it’s right because the show is immoral. This type of show should be discouraged.

“I have repeatedly stated that this show promotes immorality, and that the Nigerian government should please prohibit it from airing in our country.

“You see, a lot of people watch to see immorality acts, those sex things displaying their nakedness, and they’ve made it look like a blue film (X-rated film), so that has to stop.

“I implore true patriots to join hands and draw the government’s attention to the implications of this program, which must be discouraged,” he said.

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

However, many have argued that viewers have the option of watching or not watching the show.
