BBNaija Is Satanic, Says Muslim Group, Urges Christians To Join In Condemning Reality Show

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’.

According to reports gathered from Sahara Reporters, Director of MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, explained that BBNaija is making people get forcibly dragged to a world of shamelessness, nudity and open promiscuity.

He said: “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?”

The Director of MURIC spoke further that BBNaija is making the word ‘shame’ get deleted from our vocabulary as it is dragging kids to a life of immorality. He added that the show is leading to a gap between adults and young ones.

“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 also called on Christians to jointly condemn the show and urge the government to ban it.

“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 BBNaija penetrates both Christian and Muslim homes”, he said.
