You are probably not a parent. I have to keep it at this because I will be considered judgmental. Anyway, pay attention to the impact of vices on the majority if you are immune. The impacts of shows like BBN is massively negative.

BlackViper:
I'm usually not a fan of “moral” crusades and other manifestations of moral posturing by hypocritical, “Holier than thou” Nigerians because I feel that there are far greater types of immorality confronting this country than whether or not the hemline of a young lady's skirt crosses her knees, or whether that dress she's wearing accentuates her curves or whether a young man has dreadlocks and is wearing ripped jeans.

I always find it amusing when religious leaders denounce "immoral dressing", then invite politicians to the pulpit to address congregations. These religious leaders act as if corruption, embezzlement and nepotism are not acts of gross immorality and politicians have not been the actual heavyweight champions of immorality in Nigeria right from the beginning. Think about it. Have we not been having greedy, incompetent politcal buffoons in Nigeria since 1960, long before anyone even knew what a mini skirt was?

But all the same, I still have an axe to grind with BBN simply because I believe the monetary reward system attached to it is obscenely inflated relative to what it projects. Imagine giving 150 million naira as a reward to someone for simply idling around, gossiping, eating, drinking, fornicating etc for 90 days.

Meanwhile a 1st class graduate will be lucky to get N100,000 during his graduation ceremony and many of them don't even get that much.

Arobaga:
Make them ban am that show is very useless



Since Tinubu can’t boast of any achievements if he bans BBN I’ll rate him 1/100



Country dey burn mumu people dey do BBN

If they ban BBNJ mention one thing it'll stop politicians from doing ?

was president, governors, senators selected by BBN?

Is the road to your state damaged because of BBN?

Is insecurity in Nigeria caused by BBN?

High cost of living is it as a result of BBN ?

A 3 month on television each year isn't reason why this country is in a mess . This is a misplaced priority

The useless lawyer can focus on those that handles the affairs of the country because the future of your children has nothing with BBN.

So stop this meaningless fight because with or without BBN you'll still suffer .

Which kind wahala be dis from some Nigerians. If a program is too immoral 4 u, skip it, don't watch. For ur children, there's a parental control 4 dem as well. U want to ban it, WHY? and for WHO?

Quite ironic that a "human rights" lawyer is pursuing legal actions to curtail freedom of expression. The producers have the right to create and broadcast content. The viewers have the right to access and consume entertainment of their choice.

Of course, the public morality argument will always come into play. But morality is not uniform, and in a pluralistic society, the law should not be used to enforce subjective moral standards on everyone.

Section 45 of the Constitution permits limitations on rights for public morality, but such restrictions must be reasonable.
Instead of seeking to silence what they dislike, critics should exercise their own freedom by simply not watching. That’s how rights work

Very good
Long overdue

I agree with everything you said up there except for the money part. The organiser is into multibillion naira business and that is why they are able to afford the payment. They make 20 times more for organising the show! The 100K giving to first class is free donation. That's the difference.

Who dey force dem to change channel.....we have more important things to talk about in diz kwatry not BBN,am even feeling bbn is fueling all diz rumours just to advertise their products and get more subscribers (more lyk clout chasing)

The mumu rawyer think say na small people dey back BBN. Even Tinubu dey watch the program.

Death on arrival

Kpako lawyer wey no know him work exposing his ignorance. BBN is shown on paid TV and it's rated 18 and you have your remote control 😂

I can’t support the loss of moral values in our society and communities.
But this particular program is not compulsory for the viewers and entire populace.
Let’s assume it’s showing on NTA broadcast nationwide it could cause for public concern. Mr. Lawyer should use his energy for another productive project.
Thanks.

Na Idris song they are quick to ban. Yeye people.

I'm one of those that have an indifferent opinion about this matter...

Basically I don't know how the law applies on the issue.

But emotions should be separated from illegality.


If multi choice is doing anything wrong or illegal I don't know how the law applies in the matter.

I can argue both ways. Because the show also has a parental feature and age graded!

They have started again!
They do this every season for a show that lasts less than 4 months!
Just to make this point known that there is no porn in BBN unlike what is obtainable in SA where HMs are shown bathing!
Secondly,BBN is not a free to air as erroneously posited by the lawyer as the channel is under the control of multichoice & subscribers are the ones who can watch!
Interestingly,the company had witnessed a sharp decline in patronage die to high subscription tariffs months before the BBN show even started....so I'm even wondering how many people still watch Dstv!
Thirdly,there are many channels on dstv that show porn and same sex affair!
Why haven't these channels been banned or regulated?
What about Netflix subscription that cannot do a film or series show without inserting homosexual scenes?

Oga lawyer rest!

I am totally in support of this...

This so called program... streaming immorality into living rooms of many... thereby causing the surge in behavioral corruption in Nigeria... should not only be banned... also the promoters of these programs must be put in prison... to serve as punishment for the years of sowing seeds of moral decadence into the society...

For those who don't like BBN show which only airs in less than 4 months,you have the option of blocking the channel and it's not like 198 is the only channel on dstv!
There are variety of channels to watch on dstv!
So dead this narrative!

lexy2014:
are you now saying that x-rated porn can be freely aired on tv once it is labeled rated 18?

and who told you that porn are not aired on TV, blue film dey show for DStv o

I don't really care if they ban it or not

Nothing kwansign me

I will only start to care if they start talking about banning sportybet

Na dat one go kwansign me because sporty na my only means of livelihood and survival today

They write +18 online and you have parental control and can even delist them . Nah U carry eyes put there, if you no like an try cartoon network sir

olaleke1:
But na wah ohhh...


Is BBNaija not age-restricted? It is the responsibility of those paying GoTv and DSTv subscriptions to ensure that their minors don't get to view such content.

Dem no force anybody to watch the show, nah.

Other channels exist on both subscription platforms to watch. Activate parental guidance by following stated instructions.

Finito!

Na wah oh...it is well...

..apart from the cable TV it is also shown in various social media platforms..15 years old, 16 years old, 17 years old kids have access to social media through their smart phones.

SmartPolician:
Multichoice has totally lost it. It seems they think they are operating in a society without values. Imagine a guy sucking a girl's boobs on national team. If I were president, I would've banned that show long ago.

because that is the only job you can do. Nigerians and misplaced priorities, you didn't see Boko Haram to ban you want to flex your GCFR on an ordinary TV show. Nigerians really need to have their head checked.

Centrik360:

Do you consider the demoralising effect on the teens whose

If you an adult and married, do you make love in the presence of your kids because you are legally married and sex is justified?

The youth the hope of a nation their future is being cornered into vanity and you Justify the show Because of taxes Govt gets ___something politicians will still share among themselves

Baba these teens can easily access xvideos from their phones jarey. Hate it when Nigerians try to be holy knowing we messed up already

This is commendable and he should turn this into as national protest so others like us who share his views can add our voices in support of him.

Who told you they do idling, gossiping, eating and fornicating to win the show-prize!

Its clear you dont watch the show.

Those housemates in the big-brother's house do many educational task programs, schedule for dem from day-to-day.
Innovative, critically thinking and mastering wide knowledges are being inputed inside these tasks.

Infact 90percent voting and deciding the winner usually comes from housemates readiness and abilities in carrying out these tasks well.

Not entirely a bad Tv-show.

Free promotion for the show. It happens every year.

Is dstv the owner of Netflix too?
I know dstv are the owners of showmax.

If the 15-16yr olds access it through their phones, no big deal. Let dem be expose to it but monitor and caution their morality everyday... this will remind dem of the negatives if dem indulge in it practically.

The mistake most parents make mostly at home is hiding stuffs from their wards because the parents feel if its expose to the children, it will be harmful. That is a wrong motive.
If you don't expose it to dem so they can know the disadvantages about it, when the children go outside, they will be blindly directed to it by friends without any control and without knowing the consequences.

This is also part of sex education that we shy away from.

15-16 years old, you say no big deal? Obviously, you haven't raised a kid yet.

nope. Radio and TVs are mandated by NBC to only talk about alcohol or sexual content from 8pm at night.

They should censor BB naija too like that

All those una outdated and archaic style of raising children is what spoiled and deteriorated many baby-boomers and generation x.

Tell me why Michael Jackson as an adult will be having affairs with little children!
Because he was not exposed to kids-play as a child.

You can carry your 1970s way of training a child. I don leave una!
