BBN; A Reality Game show or Pornography Game show?
Hence, our society is gradually loosing it priority in creativity and innovation. A case study is that of Big Brother Nigeria.
It is unpatriotic to show case a reality game show that ought to depict our beauty as a nation outside the shore of our land. To take Contestants of Nigeria origin to South Africa for reality game show is ignorance of highest order because one can not really deduced what is in South Africa that is not in Nigeria except it is a case of inferiority complex. The beauty of this country is superb from east to west and north to south, serene environment was is never an issue here. In the whole of Africa Nigeria is the giant of theater art and home of music, so no where is as conducive as Lagos or Port-Harcourt for the reality game of that caliber.
It is even a blessing that the reality game show was not showcase in Nigeria at this time when we are nursing religious and ethnic tension in the land. The last time Miss World took place in Nigeria it was a cartoon from far away London that sparked up religious crises in northern Nigeria. Hence, who knows what the offensive and immoral act in this reality game show would have led to. No doubt, South Africa as a country has an image of "Sexually active" nation, Nigeria indeed has a similar image but in here the world "private" and "adult" still connote sex.
It is a national embarrassment that all what the housemates could show case are immoral sexual acts as the level on their intelligent quotient. It is a disgrace that the organizer of the show see it as part of the hustling from cash prize of =N=25 million so it is not reason for eviction for it does not matter. The audience too are so daft to appraise such acts as being "courageous". The Government agencies turn a blind eye when they can actually ban the show, please where is NBC and Censors Board it seems they travelled?
The Implication of this show is simple, our fight against HIV/AIDs has suffered a major set back because the game show did not in anyway remind all audience that AIDS is real. The fact that the show was staged in South Africa for Nigerians with Nigerians sexually actively involve will raise our already fully blown sexual consciousness and grossly infect the level of our moral decadence. Lastly, our society will now be driven with the concept of what you do to get money doesn't matter rather it is the money that matter.
Hence, Nigeria is so bless with Human resources, organizers of reality game shows should develop game shows that will bring about creativity and innovation that will create positive impact on the society and not the one that will promote sexual perversion.

Schools Should Teach Community Service
An educationist once said "he who open a school closes the prison's door." The school is indeed an agent of socialization and civilization.
Guess what? our schools should begin to influence our society positively and not allow the society to over ride her in her responsibility to inculcate a learning experience into the young ones.The school will have to move away from being theoretical in her approach,it is high time the school become practical in the act of nation building.
To do this the school has a primary assignment of teaching learners how to be responsible citizens. This go beyond teaching the newly introduced Civic Education in schools, it involve creating the awareness of leaners to the duties expected of them. Ensuring they know their rights and they understand that failure to do their duties is tantamount to denial of their purported rights.
Likewise, concept of community servicing should be inculcate in the learning curriculum, this will make them to be responsible to the society at large. They should not be force into learning this rather they should be admonished to contribute their quota to the society.
However, the concept of punishment need to take a new turn, learners not to beating anymore or undergo severe corporal for they are not animals. Rather, the punishment should be corrective measure on whatever things done wrong. Failure should not be synonymous to beating rather it should be a matter of unquestionable repetition till basic requirement are met. In case of 'childish' offence against humanity then community servicing should be an alternative to punishment.
Likewise, learners need to be made to realize that prisoners have no right of their own and they are the mercy of the society so they owe us Community Service if convicted for any crime at all. As stated above Community Service should also be taught as crucial contribution of learners to the National development and they have to be encouraged to do that.
On the Island of Lagos a particular school did come out to teach the learners what their contribution to the society should be. The Management, Staff and Students came out to cleaning their immediate environment going outside the school gate to clean the immediate street. Jufradol High School has indeed initiated a new method in integrating learning experience into our society.
