Sonnie Ekwowusi writes that BBNaija is an assault on our cultural heritage
It is high time the federal government banned the airing of the ongoing TV Reality Show Big Brother Nigeria (BBNaija) in Nigeria. Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed, Ohaneze Youths, Arewa Youths, Foundation for African Cultural Heritage (FACH), National Council of Women Societies (NCWS), Muslim Rights Concern (MRC), Project for Human Development (PHD), Association of Concerned Mothers, Director-General of the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) Mr. Segun Runsewe continue to lead the pack of men and women and institutions clamouring for the immediate ban of the BBNaija The BBNaija is nothing but sexual barbarism.
It is eroticism and nudity. Put succinctly, BBNaija is a pornography.
For example, last Sunday, one of the BBNaija inmates brought out his erected penis and started flaunting it in front of the female inmates and to the whole world. One wonders the point the young man was trying to make. You can imagine how disappointed his parents were watching their son disgracing his family on TV.
Any human being who does not appreciate his or her intrinsic worth or human dignity is unaware of the deepest truth about his or her existence. Flaunting of one’s private parts in public is animalism per excellence. It is a slur on human civilization.
