The leadership of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) B-Zone has thrown its weight behind the renewed call for the regulation of the reality TV shows like Big Brother Naija, soft porn skits, and cross-dressing in Nigeria.
In a statement jointly signed by the Amir/Coordinator, Qaasim Odedeji, Secretary, AbdulJalil AbdurRazaq and the Public Relations Officer, Moshood Tahir, the society declared its support for the call by the Director General, National Council for Art and Culture (NCAA), Otunba Segun Runsewe, who asked the House of Representatives to give a legal framework to go after the organisers of Big Brother Naija (BBN) over nudity in the show. MSSN also backed the council for seeking powers to arrest and prosecute cross-dressers in the country. The Muslim students in the 17 southern states in Nigeria affirmed that the “growing rate of immortality in the country is worrisome, and we can’t exonerate the effect of reality shows crammed with nudity or soft porn skits that are all over social media.”
The group, therefore, called “on all stakeholders; the National Assembly, the National Council for Art and Culture (NCAA), Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC), and the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) to give the deserving attention to all the issues raised and help our youth know the truth.”
