The 5th edition of the contentious reality show, BBNaija has kicked off on Sunday, July 19, with this year’s edition tagged ‘BBNaija lockdown’. Going by the number of streams, messages and traffics under hashtags, unarguably, it is Africa’s largest reality TV show.

The previous editions of the show have always come to light in the spring of academic sessions, when most kids are in school - but unfortunately, the train of this year’s edition took off while the whole world is home alone, and made to stay indoors due to the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic.

As a show that has raised many dust in the past and still stirring opinions at the moment, BBNaija is undoubtedly, a controversial show. Many criticisms have been levelled against it by clerics, academics, parents and other well-meaning Nigerians, and this was borne out of nothing but its immoral and sexual contents; like live TV sex, kissing, romance, illicit talks, indecent dresses that reveals shapes, cleavages and lots more - all which would be improper for little kids to watch, especially in this lockdown period.

A terrible mistake parents should not afford to make for the next 10 weeks is sleeping with their eyes closed; hence exposing their child(ren) to this dangerous show, else, these innocent kids will have immoralities injected into them. And most of the things they watch on TV, they would love to give a chance to practice, such is just the funny power of their psychological programming. Imagine a situation where kids utter slangs, kiss, romance or practice other filths they have watched from BBNaija show.

Parents should, hence, keep a watch on their children by limiting their access to television or the remote control. Good channels where beneficial and educative programs are available should rather be what kids should be allowed to watch, and not a show that would shape their value system and behaviors in an illicit manner.

That is part of what is spoiling this country
We see the truth and hide it because of our personal gains

The show is not bad until late night ,

In the day , nothing bad going on
This will be the best of BBN

put parental control on DSTV

Parental control will solve the problem

Some parents likes watching the show with their kids before lockdown.
Most parents encourage most lifestyles been exhibited in bbnaija. They want their children to be future TACHA, BOBRISKY, MERCY e.t.c.

Most parents and kids of nowadays sabi more than those contestants.

The kids know worst things than the Contestants

Thank God i don't have time for that kind thing......alot of parents watch this show with their kids so they don't see it as a norm.......for the over busy parents who their house helps do the training for.......pls put parental control on dstv.

Lets keep wasting our time while our leaders ruin this country for us

Parental control..... Shikena

Lol. Stop being more holy than the Pope. Bbnaija has its market, and it creates employment. Nobody is forcing your kid to watch it. Porn is more accessible than bbnaija

You have to switch off to cartoon only.

now that it has smelt it, will you enter express?

This life no just balance

Many go gaga because of this reality show, I don't think if those obscene scenes are left out a larger percentage of its viewers may count it as 'interesting'

Risky!!! Since some parents will be largely at home this period, I don't think it will be as bad as the previous years. Though, the fear is for teenage children and house wives mainly. Those younger kids can't trade anything for their cartoon channels. And the football season will be returning fully soon so the attention will shift further. But in all, we all have choices to make. You can choose not to switch to the channels showing BBN. I don't watch it except for the headlines and reports on NL... I don't even understand how people manage to be entertained when you watch it real time. I prefer the summarised reports posted online here. Atleast, I can be kept abreast with what is trending while still using my time usefully.

Mallam, what exactly is contentious about bbnaija?
Are there no more Cartoon Network on dstv?
There are hundreds of channels on dstv, channel 198 is just 1 of them. And it is not compulsory to tune into it.
And there's parental control function on dstv remote.
Mallam, your sister Aisha Umar is there and we are watching her closely.

Madam there is parental controls on dstv .. enough of this hypocrisy

Some of u buy internet for your kids but worry about dstv
