Nigerians kicks against Big Brother holding in South Africa

Nigerians have kicked against holding Big Brother Naija TV series in South Africa, far away from home of the producers.

Although Africa Magic, the organisers of the show has given reasons for hosting the show in South Africa, Nigerians are not comfortable with hosting a Nigerian show in a foreign country.

Africa Magic has explained that in South Africa, it has a fully equipped house with facilities required for the successful show in South Africa.

It says: “The venue is already set up with all facilities required for the successful execution of the show; this means that we are able to achieve high production values while meeting tight timelines/deadlines and ensuring the show comes to our viewers on time, as planned, and with the same globally renowned quality."

While the explanation may have exonerated the organisers in their own way, Nigerians at home still have their misgivings.

In Delta where Uti Nwachukwu was once a winner, an aide of the state governor, Ossai Ovie Success, has found fault in the entire South Africa scenario, the event being a 100 percent Nigerian.

He told Legit.ng: “It’s unfair to us Nigerians and fans of Big Brother Naija TV series to see that our own TV series is holding in South Africa instead of Nigeria, our country.

“It is injustice and slap to our integrity as Nigerians, we won't take it. There is no justifiable reason why big brother Naija should hold in South Africa when we have a peaceful and reliable country with millions of destinations.”
