Ooni Of Ife Advocates For The Replacement of Big Brother Naija Reality Show

 

Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ooni of Ife has called on Nigerian youth to retrace their step during an interacting with the youth in his palace as part of celebration of International Youth Day on Wednesday, August 12. 

He expressed his disappointment at the way Nigerian youths complain about their leaders, their attitude towards the affairs of the country and yet doing nothing to change it. He is also surprised at their reaction to the Big Brother Naija reality show.

Ooni of Ife urged leaders of National Youth Council of Nigeria to carry into effect a reality show that will add values to Nigerian youths.

Nigerian youths are fond of accusing and abusing our leaders. Stop abusing them and contribute your own quota. Let’s wear our thinking caps and begin to act like the real future leaders that we are, he said.

In the last general election, the total number of vote cast was around 27 million while over 170 million people voted during the 2019 Big Brother Naija reality show. This is a practical reality of who Nigerian youths are and where our priorities lie as Nigerians.

The funny side in all of these is that we still go to bed, have a good sleep and wake up with the hope to meet a Nigeria we didn’t create. Nigerians Youths! Nigerians Youths!! Nigerians Youths!!!

Unfortunately, every time I talk about this kind of attitude, everyone just laugh and move on. What kind of nation are we building?

When people say this country, or what kind of country is this, they are indirectly saying these people – it is the people that make a country; so what kind of Nigerian youths are we? Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi asked.

The proposed show will be structured in a way that young professionals, talented individuals and others across several field of endeavour will be showcased and helped to reach their peak.

This would help the participants and also help viewers to have access to people that can be seen as role models,” he emphasized.
