Ooni Wants BBN Scrapped

If the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has his way, he would want the controversial reality show Big Brother Nigeria put to rest. According to the highway respected traditional ruler, the show misrepresents “the goodness and integrity of the Nigerian youths”. He spoke recently at Ile Ife at an interaction with scores of youths who visited him as part of the celebration of International Youth Day. He described the youths as the country’s untapped immeasurable wealth and resources and urged them to take leadership roles. Without mincing words, the Ooni knocked the youths for misplacing their priorities. He appealed to them to redeem themselves as a matter of urgent public importance. “Nigerian youths are fond of accusing and abusing our leaders. Stop abusing them. Contribute your own quota. Let’s wear our thinking caps and begin to act like the real future leaders that we are.
