The Last Sensible Reality TV Show in Africa (by Adedoyin Matthew)

It's seem the Nigerian youths are beginning to speak up against the most popular reality TV show in Africa, BigBrother Africa. The reality show which is currently airing on DSTV (the largest TV network in Africa) is acclaimed to be the most viewed program both online and offline with not less than hundreds of thousands clicks added daily on their YouTube channel.
Here is another article by a Nigerian youth speaking on #BBA and other similar reality tv shows. Read and enjoy!

Maryam Jameelah, a muslim scholar wrote, "never before in the history of man had the graph of moral degradation shown a rapid decline as in the 21st century"

Moral degradation has reached the peak and our sacred parts are not considered sacred again. Human sexual sanctity has deteriorated to a level which is shameful even to the beast. Atimes, I wonder if animal is wiser than man in keeping their sexuality.

Yesterday, I was bombarded with one Alex Osagie's BC asking for the ban of BBA Africa on DSTV. Well, I support his stand but I think we have allowed this satanic manipulation, in the name of reality show come upon us. The last sensible reality show that elope our TV screen is The Debaters season 2 where my brother, Chinedu Chidi came top . This intellectual show left when there was no enough finance to continue, and if I may ask, how many of us even watch or know the debaters? But we are familiar with star quest, MTN Project Fame, Glo Naija Sings, Airtel, Nigeria got talents etc. I'm not saying these shows are bad, but our youth spend more time on them than intellectual and purpose driven shows.

This is my point: It is not just enough to call for the ban of BBA; it is not just enough to broadcast Alex's message; let's also change the mentality and mindset of our young ones starting with ourselves - Let's stop voting for housemates, let's stop sending sms and let's stop watching it. And let's promote intellectual events that will cause a positive change.

PS: You know Wizkid and Davido but do not know Chinua Achebe. You are one of the reasons Prof. Wole Soyinka said this generation is dead on arrival.

LETTER to DSTV on BBA from AFRICAN YOUTH by Alex Osagie

This morning I stumbled on a facebook status of one of my 'big brother' Chunu Teajay (a youth mentor) with the headline "LETTER TO DSTV ON BBA FROM AFRICAN YOUTH by Alex Osagie (edited)" and as a youth, I quickly read it to know what someone Mr.Alex Osagie is saying on our behalf about the ongoing BIG BROTHER AFRICA reality TV show on DSTV. Read it and share your own view.

*************************
I urge and plead with All African Youths, let's ask DSTV to give us a BBA where African Youths go and discuss, proffer solutions and solve Africa's Problems; not this morally loosed show where single parents who can't keep their relationships go into the house to show their fallen breast, where drug addicts, porn stars, ill-mannered people mix up and get rewarded.

Haba! Having sex in the public with somebody who is not your spouse? We can make this the last of that valueless program. Initially, it was okay but recently sexual immorality has found its ugly head an entrance into the show.

BBA sells immoral behaviour and attracts lots of fans who enjoy it. They even prefer open sex every day. There is no single thing I learn from the programme, except promoting sex and immorality. It's time we ignored it.

How long does it take to imbibe a habit? 21 days and BBA runs 90days, subtly making people addicts to bad habits and destroying the values we have held strong, values that have built our families & homes.

Say NO to TV shows without value, reality shows with rich immorality is a NO NO!. PLEASE REBROADCAST AND DROP YOUR VIEWS
