BBNaija’s promotion of nudity, sex is nauseating: Soyinka
Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka in an interview with the UK Guardian over the weekend, described the Big Brother reality show as nauseating.
“I find it nauseating. I watched Big Brother Africa out of duty when it first came out in 2003. My friends used to rush home.
“They would say: “Excuse me, I must get back. I’ve got to watch this episode,”” Mr Soyinka said.
The Nobel laureate added that the show promotes people watching nudity and sexual activities, contrary to his belief.
“I think I managed about two and a half episodes. But the voyeurism was totally contrary to everything I believed.
“So I haven’t seen the new version at all. I’m not going near it,” Mr Soyinka said.
