Give Us The Authority To Sanction BBNaija, Bobrisky-NCAC Begs Legislators And Provides Justification
The National Council for Arts and Culture’s (NCAA) Director-General, Segun Runsewe, has petitioned the House of Representatives to grant his organization the authority to sue Big Brother Nigeria’s producers for nudity in the reality TV program.
Runsewe, who made the call on Tuesday, October 4, also seek power to go after crossdressers like Bobrisky.
While appearing before an ad hoc committee investigating the duplication of ministries, departments and agencies, Runsewe stated that nudity as displayed by the organizer of the popular show is against the culture of Nigeria.
The DG stated that proper amendment of the council’s act will allow them to go after BBN organizers and crossdressers like Bobrisky.
“I am the first person who took Big Brother Nigeria to the NBC to report them because they were having… I took it up and Big Brother (organisers) tried to reach me and I told them that if the culture in other parts of the world is to be naked – nudity, etc., they should not bring it to Nigeria because our culture is rich and it respects the integrity of our country.
This honourable House just needs to empower us with just a legal framework and that nonsense will stop,” he said.
