The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Lagos State Area Unit has called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to ban the ongoing 2021 Big Brother Naija (BBN) reality TV show.
The group in a statement by its Amir (president) Mallam Miftahudeen Thanni, on Thursday, called on the government to put a stop to illicit shows, among which is BBNaija reality TV show.
In the statement issued by Thanni, the student organisation which made the demand while commemorating the 1443AH Islamic new year and International Youths Day said that banning BBNaija “will be the best gift to mark international youth day.”
The Muslim students’ leader wondered why the government “pretended” not to know the danger of the “nude, irritating and soul-damaging” programme while some of its officials disturb, harass, intimidate female Muslims who use the hijab.

He said, “The show negates everything about morality. It is evil and a danger that could damage the strong moral foundation that many Nigerian societies are known for. It is the worst distraction for Nigerian youths.
“This immorality extends beyond just nude dressing to encouraging youths to sell their bodies to get fame and make money. We express our total rejection of the programme and call on the government to ban it.
“This indirect porn programme is also giving teenagers a bad orientation that making it in life must come with a price of exposing their bodies, thereby causing high cases of rape in the society,” he stated.
