Chairman, committee on health service of the Lagos state House of
Assembly, Hon. Olusegun Olulade has called on the Minister of
Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed to reconsider the
implications of allowing the Big Brother Naija Show on Nigerian culture
and youths.
Olulade, who represents Epe 2 constituency lamented that the contents
of the Reality Show are completely foreign to the indigenous culture,
which the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is trying to
promote.
According to him, the government should swing into action through the
Nigeria Broadcasting Commission (NBC), and ensure it stops the airing
of such programme before it further causes serious damage to the
culture.
Olulade, who is the immediate past Chairman, House Committee on
Information, Publicity, Security and Strategy, also advised the Federal
Government to ensure adequate censor of information being aired and sent
to the public, noting that such programme as Big Brother Naija is
capable of causing distractions to the Nigerian youths and affecting
many families.
Big Brother Naija is a Reality Show supposedly sponsored by PayPorte, an
online shopping platform and aired by Africa Magic on Dstv.
