A wave of discontent is smashing across social media as Nigerian youths express their outrage over the BBNaija season 9 premiere, which is scheduled to coincide almost precisely with the highly anticipated nationwide protest against economic hardship.

The #EndBadGovernance protest, which will take place from August 1 to August 10, 2024, intends to solve the nation’s terrible hunger and high inflation.


Meanwhile, the new season of BBNaija will make its debut on Sunday, July 28, 2024, and will last 10 weeks, with the grand finale airing on October 6, 2024.

The coincidence of these two significant events has sparked a fierce criticism among netizens, who claim that the show’s scheduling is an unacceptable distraction from the pressing socioeconomic challenges at hand.

Kingsley Thompson, a prominent human rights advocate known on X as @Jkings, has strongly attacked the scheduling of the BBNaija debut.

He contends that the show’s debut at a key time for national movement reveals a troubling misalignment of priorities among the youth.

Thompson, speaking for many who share his view, is calling for the suspension of the reality TV show this year. He maintains that, given the gravity of the current economic crisis, the nation’s focus should concentrate focused on demanding change, not on fleeting enjoyment.

His words;

“Bringing BBN at this critical time in our country shows how we misplaced priorities.,

“I speak for all Nigerians that BBN should suspend their show this year, we don’t want it.”

Others have strongly supported his call for BBNaija’s suspension, hurling harsh attacks on the organizers. They accuse them of purposely diverting the youth’s attention away from important concerns.

FG and Nigerian Polithiefcians will be against the suspension self.... something that keeps Gen z youth busy while they loot. lols

He is right about the government sponsoring BBNaija. Apart from the tribalism card, entertainment is also a card up their sleeves.

They know foreign and local sponsors are engineering jobless and lazy youths on social media most especially on X, so they've decided to provide drama via bbnaija to distract these jobless youths.

You see, these youths are really jobless and completely lazy. Some call themselves influencers but in reality, all they do is exist in life by gossiping about useless drama, retweeting and distributing useless garbage as content online for likes and interactions.

With bbnaija starting soon, these lazy and jobless youths will be paid by sponsors to trend useless drama about a group of youths that eat, shit, gossip, scheme and b.leep each other in a house for months.

When they spread this drama online, more Nigerians (most especially lazy people) will be tempted to view it and forget about hunger and suffering. Very strange but it's the truth.

Its a tactic that works in every generation. The Roman leaders built the colosseum...



...to distract the starving citizens. Everyday the citizens (men, women and children) would wake up, go to the colosseum and watch gladiators and captured slaves tear each other to pieces. They completely forgot about their problems. That's the power of debasing drama and entertainment and the government knows this.

Na by force to participated

Nothing concern protest with bbn

Protest must hold

I CONCUR.

NONSENSE!

Perhaps we should also stop eating food until the protest is over.... Useless anarchists...

Ndi Ara!!

Is anyone forced to watch the bbn
You even need money to watch the show so i don't see how it will affect a hunger protest.
These ones are the kinds of dull people calling themselves influencers. Them know their target audience sha.

That reality show has no value for Nigerian youth, only decay.

You think they don’t know what they’re doing?

Some of these so called activists talk like people who are brainless

So they expect a legitimate business organisation to suspend part of its business activities so as to pander to the whims of faceless protest organisers

[That reality show has no value for Nigerian youth, onLY DECAY, I CONCUR].

Who de watch this rubbish show

Them suppose bann this rubbish
Infact this protest suppose reach them


Nonsense

BBN is not our problem’, it’s an optional tv show y is everyone complaining about it

Security of tenure is all about government plans to scuttle the planned protest; not for security of citizens and their properties.

Na who sub they concern himself with bbn

Me when wind don bend my dstv satellite for over 3 years

This Bbnaija program is always a distraction to the youths.

After all the online gragra you will still see the same Nigerians, subscribe, tweeting and reposting BBN crap

Any relationship between protest and bbnaija? It doesn't have any effect

U for say make we no chop or breathe or watch TV at all cos una Wan protest na.

For the past 5 years at least, BB Naija has premiered sometime in July.

It has nothing to do with the protest.
