A concerned citizen, Mr. David Sanda, has initiated a petition seeking a possible ban on Big Brother Naija over concerns that it may be “distracting Nigerians from 2023 election matters”.
This was contained in an online petition entitled “To ban or not ban Big Brother Naija? What do you want?” initiated online on Change.org.
An introduction to the petition reads: “Is Big Brother Naija distracting Nigerians from 2023 election matters? Do you agree with David Sanda that it should be banned?”
It continues: “In times like this when our dear country is faced with economical, security, and leadership challenges with our educational institutions closed, Nigeria is supposed to focus on things that will effect and proffer solutions to theses challenges.
“Programs like Big Brother Naija are a distraction to Nigerians as at this time when we are encouraging and educating Nigerians to go get their voter cards and vote wisely.
“BB Naija has no positive contribution to the problems facing the country.
“Hence, if it is not political, Nigerian government should ban the program from holding this year until after elections are done with.”
