Buhari’s Aide Urges Parents To Stop Children From Watching BBNaija

Lauretta Onochie, Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari, on Social Media, has called on Nigerian parents to stop their children from watching reality television show, Big Brother Naija.

Onochie, in a statement via her Twitter handle on Sunday, was reacting to calls by Nigerians asking the Federal Government to ban the reality show.

Many Nigerians had taken to social media, calling for the ban of the Big Brother programme, saying it promotes immoralities and has negative impact on children.

But reacting on Sunday, the presidential aide, said the government has no power to scrap the show, rather parents should stop their children from watching the reality programme.

Onochie wrote “Stop asking me to fix Big Brother Naija. I don’t have such powers.

“Big Brother is an adult programme. If your children are watching it, it’s your fault, not mine, It’s not also compulsory to watch. Use your remote control and change the channel.

STOP ASKING ME TO FIX BIG BROTHER NAIJA. I DON’T HAVE SUCH POWERS.
Big Brother is an adult programme. If your children are watching it, it’s your fault, not mine. Grow up & protect your children. It’s not also compulsory to watch. Use your remote control and change the channeI.
