The Federal Government has reportedly ordered Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to take Big Brother Naija (BBN) off the air, over fears of a possible spread of COVID-19 among housemates.

According to The Information, Armstrong Idachaba, acting director-general of the NBC, on Wednesday, told senior management members that he had been directed by the minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed, to shut down the show.

Insiders disclosed the NBC management was not well disposed to the move to shut down BBN, with some of them saying there was no basis for it.
director is said to have reminded the meeting that NBC had already sought explanation from Multichoice on a possible violation of COVID-19 protocols with the airing of the show. The letter was sent on July 1, before the show began.

MultiChoice replied with detailed explanations on measures taken in collaboration with the Lagos state government, whose agency, Lagos State Safety Commission, gave the green light for the show.

Also, MultiChoice said in the letter that housemates had been screened prior to the show and that the BBN House had been decontaminated and adapted to ensure sufficient physical distancing, in addition to eliminating the use of live audience.

All housemates went through a mandatory two-week isolation during which COVID-19 symptoms would have manifested if they had the disease.

A second director is said to have told the meeting that participants of the show had maintained the safety protocols, notably generous use of hand sanitisers, since it started on Sunday.

Idachaba, who is reportedly fighting to be confirmed as the substantive DG, was asked to request the minister for a written directive.

However, the acting DG was said to have told the meeting that he would have no other option than to carry out Mohammed’s order.

Saw this news on tv. My question is, didn't the BBnaija organizers, seek for permission from the FG before starting this show? Modified: Apparently, the Lagos state government gave them the go ahead. It still should be removed from air tho. I mean children are still at home. Trust me, you wouldn't wanna find yourself in a position, where your lil nephew gets to ask you..."Uncle what are they doing?"

over my dead body, if they like, let them pay billions, they should put strict rules to the housemate if it's not about unclothedness, but let me as you, what is the real purpose of the show?

Tomorrow you will wonder why investors are pulling out. Erratic decisions like this is the reason. Do you know how much DStv must have invested in the program to let it go down the drain.

This is purely a religious decision. Both CAN, MURIC have been campaigning to get it off air.
. personally I don't watch it but this is outright nonsense

People have what they waste their time and money for. I have no reason nor right to question or judge anyone from watching the show. They own their DSTV, they pay for their subscription. As for me, I have what to do with my time. This show has never and will never add anything positive or negative in my life.
As for FG's decision, they have the power in their hands. But I think this is a misplaced priority.

When they want to hide their deficiency and weak guildlines,they will quote covid-19...

But they disobey same guildlines in so many activities they have engaged in from weddings to burial....

Laws is Nigeria is selective...

I don't support the show anyways but its against our morals as a nation if we still have any not covid-19..

I doubt its true.
Bad news for those cashing from BBN via https://hostboz.com/bbn
But if FG is actually considering it then it shows their highest level of misplaced priority! There are more important things in the country to tackle like power supply & insecurity!
