Nigerians, Morality, and Hypocrisy

(Lucia Edafioka – Sabinews) - Dear hypocrite, must you watch Big Brother Naija?

So Big Brother Nigeria, the controversial reality show spun off from Big Brother Africa which first started sometime in 2002 has been on for over a month. Lovers of the reality show can be seen tweeting away.

The first controversy the show created this season came from the Federal Government. Remember when the FG was probing why the show was taking place in South Africa? Like, of all the problems we have in this country that was their headache. Anyway, the dust settled and the show continued.

The next controversy is now coming from citizens. People are asking that the show should be banned, not aired on television. Some say it has no moral lessons, others say instead of youths to focus on improving the country they are wasting their time etc etc and I am just amazed. When mentioning the problems of this country, after our bad government, lack of electricity and bad roads, one should not forget to add hypocrisy, it is a huge problem.

First, anytime I hear that Nigerian youths are wasting their time, or are lazy or any silly criticism I get angry. People who were youths in the 1960s ruined this country, they ruined it, looted it dry and are now always fast to point fingers at ‘Children of these days’ who actually are striving, working hard to survive in the useless country they left for us.
