Christian Association Of Nigeria calls for BBNaija Ban says its Evil and shouldn't be Patronized

Posted: 23 Jul 2020 11:00 PM PDT

The Christian Association of Nigeria has urged political office holders and other stakeholders to discourage immoral activities.

It said instead, they should promote justice and moral programmes and activities that are aimed at pleasing God Almighty and humanity.

CAN particularly kicked against the ongoing reality show, Big Brother Naija, describing it as evil and urged well-meaning Nigerians to join in the protest against the show.

Chairman of CAN in Rivers State, Stanley Dimkpa made the call to scrap BBNAIJA while lauding 3 Local government Chairmen that best managed the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.

Dimkpa stated that the immorality being portrayed in the BBNAIJA show should be vehemently condemned because it breeds evil.

"As Christians this, this ceremony is aimed at promoting diligence and reinvigorating a positive lifestyle and collectively making our state better.

"A state where tribe, creed, political party and church do not matter in the scheme of things but a state where equity, equality, qualification, truth and hard work are necessary criteria and conditions for justice.

"Promotion and appointment in all fields of life where reward and good morals will encourage everyone to abhor evil and do what is right. Romans 12:9.

"All these are needed to replace what we have in our world today where societal ills, crimes and immoral behaviours are geometrically increasing due to bad governance, poverty and reward for wrong doing, such as Big Brother Naija.

"I want to emphasize Big Brother Naija because all of us have to fight collectively to stop this immoral act and injustice in our land, as Christians and Africans, we have respect for mankind.

"For those of us that have allowed our friends and families to encourage the patronage of Big Brother Naija, know that it is an evil and we must clampdown on it," he said.

Popular Nigerian author, known for his controversial points, Reno Omokri, has dropped another nugget for his fans and followers on social media.

In a series of tweets, Reno is advising Africans to change the mentality of neglecting people while they're alive but spending millions on their funerals when they die.

"A befitting burial takes place when family gather and the dead is put in a 6 feet deep grave. You dont even need a coffin. You can bury your loved ones the way Christ was buried-wrapped in a piece of cloth. Africa should invest in life, not death!

Who cursed Africans with this mentality where when your aged parents are alive, they live in a dilapidated house, but as soon as they die, we renovate the house to impress those who will come for the funeral. Spend the money on the living not dead!", he tweeted.
