Nigerians say Big Brother Africa dentrimental to African culture

Some Big Brother enthusiasts in Nigeria on Wednesday reacted, saying the Africa reality show had only succeeded in promoting the western ethos which were detrimental to African culture.

The Big Brother is a reality television show in which a group of people are brought together in a large house, isolated from the outside world.

They are made to live together while being continuously watched by television cameras.

In the Big Brother television show, theconfined contestants compete to avoid eviction so as to win the prize money.

The reality concept was introduced from the western world into the African culture to see how it could help in promoting and preserving it, but has proven otherwise, as enthusiasts say.

Juliet Chinwendu, a business woman, who claims to be addicted to watching big brother, said that the programme did not in any way portray African culture.

“The programme Big Brother Africa is supposed to promote and preserve African culture, but the participants have westernised it.

“It doesn’t showcase African culture. I was meant to understand that Africans are known for modesty and not nudity.

“The dressing and lifestyle of the participants in the programme is just an imitation of the western culture which is in contrast with the African culture.

“Big Brother Africa turned to be a romantic escapade, full of immorality and promiscuity. I must say that the programme only promotes unity among Africans but does not preserve the African culture,” she said.

Another big brother addict, Augustina Osato said the medium was to promote African unity but it does not preserve its cultural heritage in any way.

“The activities in Big Brother Africa do not
preserve our cultural heritage in any form.

“As a matter of fact, the idea of the show is probably put together by some group of persons whose intention is to make money through entertainment.

“Their intention, I guess is not to promote African culture because it is possible that the organisers or initiator have little or no idea about African culture.
