Igbo youths under the aegis of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, OYC has called for ban on popular reality TV show, BBNaija describing it as a social monster.
This comes days after the Coalition of Northern Groups made a similar call to the federal government, insisting that it is time to ban the TV show which it says is corrupt.
Addressing Igbo youths in Enugu on Tuesday 10th August 2021 in preparation for Ohanaeze Youth Council leadership programme to be anchored by her National Directorate of Leadership And Social Re-engineering, the national President of Ohanaeze Youth Council Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka stated that BBNAIJA is deeply affecting the fragile moral upbringing in family and schools, a release obtained by ABN TV says.
According to the statement signed by Chukwuemeka Chimerue, Senior Special Assistant Media & Publicity To The National President, Comrade Igboayaka, he pointed out that BBNAIJA does not have any moral background especially at this period Nigeria youth have lost sense of societal values and norms.
“With the high rate of lack of moral values among teenagers in Nigeria, BBNAIJA is a social monster that have come to ruin the lives of Nigerian youths mostly the teenagers who are easily carried away by social trends”
“Majority of Nigerian youths are not mentally matured to be participating or watching such Semi-packaged Porn programme that adds or proffers zero solution to the social problems confronting our youths”, Comrade, Igboayaka stated.
Comrade Igboayaka, therefore, urged the Ministry of youth and National Orientation Agency to present a more reasonable Youth program(Show) that will promote value system, norms as well as intellectual formation among the Nigerian youths.
“BBNAIJA does not represent any ethnic cultural status in Nigeria, neither does it appeal to any religious status domicile in Nigeria, but it present and represent a wrong worldview about the reality of life to young and teenage Nigerians”, Igboayaka concluded.
