We are being forcibly dragged to a world of nudity,
shamelessness and open promiscuity. Inmates of BBNaija kiss, romance and engage
in sex openly. BBNaija is Bohemian, anti-social, crude and immoral. It
constitutes a potent danger to every home. BBNaija is Satanic. It is
unacceptable."
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has urged the federal
government to immediately place a ban on the Big Brother Naija show.
MURIC posited that the reality show promotes immorality in
the country branding it as ‘immoral, dangerous and Bohemian’.
Professor Ishaq Akintola, Director of MURIC also said the
promoter of the show must be held accountable for promoting immorality in the
country
“We are being forcibly dragged to a world of nudity, shamelessness
and open promiscuity. Inmates of BBNaija kiss, romance and engage in sex
openly. BBNaija is Bohemian, anti-social, crude and immoral. It constitutes a
potent danger to every home. BBNaija is Satanic. It is unacceptable.
“Where are our norms and values? Is it part of African
culture to engage in sex in the open? Where are the authorities? Is the
Ministry of Information and Culture sleeping? Is the National Orientation
Agency on sabbatical? Who will protect our children from this despicable onslaught?
Who did this to Nigeria?
“This reality show is dragging our children into a life of
moral debauchery. It is robbing them of the last vestiges of honour. It is
deleting the word ‘shame’ from their vocabulary. BB Naija has alienated our
youth from the elders. A yawning lacuna now exists between the young and the
old. Irreversible social crisis looms.
“We must see those who woo our young ones with humongous
amounts of money, big cars, and palatial buildings as those bent on destroying
industry, diligence, and integrity, particularly among the youth. Nothing
destroys a nation faster than materialism. The daughters of Jezebel are here
already. Unless the authorities move with the speed of lightning, human dignity
in Nigeria is going, going, going!
“Or do we not realize that for every single BB Naija inmate
who wins a big amount of money and a car, more than 50 million young people are
misled? Qur’an 30:41 says, ‘Evil has appeared on both land and sea as a result
of the handiworks of men…’ The Bible in
Ephesians 4:19 was also describing these people when it says, ‘Having lost all
sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in
every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more.’”
MURIC calls for unity among the Christians and Muslims in
the country to jointly condemn and force the government to place a ban on the
reality show.
We can put an end to this anomaly called BB Naija if
Christians and Muslims bury the hatchet and come together to fight evil. Home
is home. Moral debauchery knows no religion. The destructive influence of
television shows like BB Naija penetrates both Christian and Muslim homes.
“Ditto for the custodians of our culture and tradition. Our
traditional rulers ignore a program like this, which has all the potentials to
diminish the dignity of our culture. They are fighting over who should be
chairman of the council of traditional rulers. They want to be the king of
kings and rivals of the supreme creator. Who placed a curse on Nigeria?
“Homo sapiens may not respect a single snake when they see
one. But can anyone wait to see what follows if the cobra leads and it is
faithfully followed by the python, the black mamba, rattlesnake, garter snake,
and the anaconda? So what do you think will happen if our traditional rulers
from the East, West and North march on Aso Rock to demand the immediate halt of
this horrible show?"
MURIC charged the Ministry of Information and Culture to
move swiftly against BB Naija before moral debauchery becomes Nigeria’s middle
name.
