Is Having Sex In The Open Our Culture? MURIC Writes Buhari To STOP Big Brother Naija Show
Global News NG
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has taken issues with the ongoing Big Brother Naija show, tasking President Muhammadu Buhari to halt the airing of the reality TV programme which it condemned as "immoral, dangerous and bohemian."
The Muslim interest group went on to denounce the excessive quest for wealth by the Nigerian millennials, a reason it claimed accounts for their participation in the demonic show as well as involvement in despicable activities like internet fraud, ritual killings, among others.
In the group's petition to President Buhari Thursday, MURIC's Director, Prof. Ishaq Akintola also expressed shock about the indifference of the Ministry of Information and Culture and the National Orientation Agency about what participants are doing on the show.
Akintola said: “We are being forcibly dragged to a world of nudity, shamelessness and open promiscuity. Inmates of BBNaija kiss, romance and engage in sex openly. BBNaija is bohemian, anti-social, crude and immoral. It constitutes a potent danger to every home. BBNaija is satanic. It is unacceptable.
“Where are our norms and values? Is it part of African culture to engage in sex in the open? Where are the authorities? Is the Ministry of Information and Culture sleeping? Is the National Orientation Agency on sabbatical? Who will protect our children from this despicable onslaught? Who did this to Nigeria?
“This reality show is dragging our children into a life of moral debauchery. It is robbing them of the last vestiges of honour. It is deleting the word ‘shame’ from their vocabulary. BB Naija has alienated our youth from the elders. A yawning lacuna now exists between the young and the old. Irreversible social crisis looms.”
Akintola said Nigerians must see those who woo young ones with humongous amounts of money, big cars and palatial buildings as those bent on destroying industry, diligence and integrity, particularly among the youth.
He said nothing destroys a nation faster than materialism.
The statement read further, “The daughters of Jezebel are here already. Unless the authorities move with the speed of lightning, human dignity in Nigeria is going, going, going!
“Or do we not realise that for every single BB Naija inmate who wins a big amount of money and a car, more than 50 million young people are misled? Qur’an 30:41 says, ‘Evil has appeared on both land and sea as a result of the handiworks of men…’
MURIC called on Christians and Muslims to put their differences aside and unite against the “immoral” show.
The group said the show undermined cultural values and thus must also be rejected by traditional institutions.
