The member representing Epe Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Olusegun Olulade, Chairman House Committee on Health Services has called on the federal government of Nigeria to reconsider the implications of allowing the Big Brother Naija Show being aired to Nigerians.
Olulade, lamented that the contents of the Reality Show is clearly in contrast to what the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari was trying to promote, which is the Nigerian indigenous culture.
"The government should swing into action through the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission (NBC), and ensure it stopped the airing of such programme before it further caused serious damage to the culture" Olulade.
“The content of Big Brother Naijashow 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 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."
“I will want to urge all parents and guardians to be on their guards and guide their children and wards against the implication of allowing them to keep watching the Show. Our children should not be allowed to be corrupt because this may affect their dreamed future,” he added.
Olulade, also futher advised the Federal Government of Nigeria to ensure adequate censor of information being aired and sent to the public, stating that a like programme Big Brother Naija is capable of causing distractions to the Nigerian youths and affecting many families.
