Mnet waomba Msamaha kwa serikali ya Nigeria! -Big Brother Africa II

Nilisema mambo yaliyofanyika kwenye Big Brother Afria II ni mazito. Serikali ya Nigeria wamesema kuwa Big Brother Africa isionyeshwe nchini mwao tena kutokana na vitendo vya aibu (hasa mshindi Richard kumtia vidole Offuneka) vilivyofanyika na kuonyeshwa kwa umati.

Mnet sasa wameomba msamaha kwa serikali ya Nigeria na wameahii kuwa hawataonyesha scenes kama hizo tena!

Pia Producer wa Big Brother Africa II, Martins Ngubane AMEFUKUZWA KAZI!

Mnet, a South African distributor network, yesterday apologized to the Nigerian government over some sexually offensive video clips on the just concluded version of the Big Brother Africa reality show.

Joseph Hunda, Director, Africa Operations for Mnet, made the apology while briefing the House of Representatives Committee on Information and National Orientation on some of the immoral scenes on the show.“We want MNET to bring out something we believed would be entertaining to Nigerians and Africans and I think it went a long way in projecting the local content.

It is important for one to highlight that there were certain aspects of the show that were not acceptable to the public. The NBC called our attention to certain aspects that were not acceptable to the public. We agreed to use material with parental advisory.

We assured the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) that we would refrain from showing certain scenes of the Big Brother Africa and we complied with that, but what happened (during the show) was beyond our control. So we apologize for those scenes that were shown and in the future such scenes will never be shown.”

The apology followed the decision of the Committee on information to ban Multichoice and its distributor networks from airing the reality show on Nigerian Television networks. The Chairman of the Rep. Dino Melaye(Bunu/Kabba/Ijumu-Kogi PDP) who spoke earlier, said Multichoice and other networks had no right whatsoever to continue showing obscene clips of the show.
