The filmmaker and lover to popular Nigerian actress Cha Cha Eke,Austin Faani, has slammed the organisers of Big Brother Titans (BBTitans) for proceeding with the show despite next month’s elections
He made the statement in his Instagram page calling out Ebuka Uchendu, the show host, while wondering why the organisers couldn’t delay the reality programme for at least a month.
“Someday, not soon maybe, Ebuka and BBN will explain to Nigerians why they couldn’t wait for just a month as to not distract the Nigerian masses,” he wrote.“Especially the southern Nigeria that engages more in their awesome show from the coming election.“Just someday, there will be this dialogue, and I hope their reasons make sense and adds positive impact to what everyone in Nigeria is after at the moment,”he added.
The election is to hold on February 25 while the reality show, which premiered on January 15, will run for 77 days and end on April 2, 2023.Some Nigerians have condemned the timing of the reality show, saying it will be a “distraction to the youth during the elections.”
