BBNaija Housemates Are Agents Of Darkness -Omokri
Former spokesman of Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr Reno Omokri has never hidden his disgust with ongoing popular reality TV show BB Naija. According to him in his latest statement concerning the show, he said the Housemates of Big Brother Naija are agents of darkness and are not stars.
He went further to say that they are more of a blight on the nation and promote indecency. He urged Nigerians not to be celebrating them at all as he disclosed that he had already seen the trending video of Big Brother Niger Housemates, Bam-Bam and Teddy A having intercourse in the rest room recently.
Obviously not pleased with the trend of things, says only animals had intercourse in the open for all to see. He went on to say that it is barbaric and unAfrican for Nigeria to refer to people who have intercourse in the open as stars. He noted that other countries are advancing in technology, but Nigerians are busy trying to overtake the West in public indecency.
He wrote via his twitter, “when I was a child, only animals had intercourse in the open for all to see, now I am an adult, Nigerians call people who publicly have intercourse in a toilet stars, if they are stars, it must be very dark over Nigeria. We have a culture, not everything from the West is good, instead of copying the West and Asia in Science and Technology, we want to copy and overtake the west in public indecency”.
