Over 51000 people sign petition to ban Big Brother Naija on change.org

At the time of this writing, 51 173 people have signed a petition started by Lawrence Okoh to incubent President Muhammadu Buhari to ban Big Brother Naija from airing in Nigeria, stating immorality as the reason for creating the petition.

In the petition, he said “Big Brother Naija has become an avenue to spread immorality in our country. Nigerians must rise up to put an end to this cancerworm. ”

“We must continue to push until this programme is taken of the airwaves. Most annoying is that when you go to public places the waiters always insist on leaving the evil programme on forcing you to watch it else you find somewhere else to relax. ”

Many supporters of the petition left comments supporting the notion of the petition:

Emmy King said: “Big Brother Naija is no longer a programme but Pornographic show and it’s really bad for our children thanks.

Government should please BAN this atrocity as soon as possible”.

Another Daodu Lanre started a similar but not so popular petition with the following reasons:

“Big Brother Naija is satanic , it reduces the societal and family values.

Big Brother Naija increases the immorality act in the society.

Big Brother Naija show has promoted a fast decline of moral values in Nigeria homes and communities.

We do not need such program in Nigeria, we need programs of high intellectual and innovative capacity to develop our children and youth.”

At the same time, over 4000 supporters of the show have signed another petition asking Big Brother to Bring Back Beauty who was previosuly disqualified.
