​#Script2Screen Africa Reality TV Project: Answer To #BBNaija’s Flaws

Published

on

How do you rescue a drowning nation? A nation that has thrown her values into the mud. A nation that adopts negative European values and neglects the positive ones. How?
We have forgotten who we are, what we stood for and what our forefathers fought for rather, we have become ‘sir’ (slave I remain) to the European culture and attitudes. Or how do you describe a country like ours sending young, energetic and resourceful ones on a life destroying mission to South Africa for three (3) months all in the name of a reality show that carried the name of Nigeria yet not shot here.

They while away their precious time, sitting idly in front of cameras for 24 hours doing nothing productive. What a nation! The most unusual and demoralizing aspect of it all was their immoral act of sexuality. Doing it in the toilet in front of camera! These guys didn’t even know themselves from Adam. What an act? What a shame? 

I don’t expect a Christian who goes to church regularly and believes in the teachings of master Jesus to to endorse and promote this Immorality show, A Muslim who observes his 5 solat daily should not be the one promoting BBN. 
Can someone tell me the economic value of BBNaija to Nigeria? When we have beautiful estates, recreational centers and hotels lying fallow, they took the production outside the country to South Africa. Tax evaded, joy opportunities missed, originality lost, local content missing; so, what are the values? 

Instead of airing programmes that can train, mentor and support the vision of these young Nigerians, shape their thought,  provoke their mindset to ideas that will pioneer positive revolution in Nigeria, and across the continent of Africa, they are left to rotten in immoral decadence and sexual escapades in far away South Africa.
Although, there have been calls from several well meaning Nigerians to end this ‘sodomite act’ but all have fallen into deaf ears of those in authority. 

We are too religious in Nigeria, that has been the defense of those with dirty minds but, ask any of those young men what their religious beliefs are and they would either say; I’m a Christian or a Muslim, so tell me where in the Bible or Quran where these their acts of sexual immoralities is not condemned.
A concerned Nigerian, Ogbeni Akinbusola Babatunde, recently wrote; “If only there could be an educating version of this programme. If only they could house some intelligent people in like manner and make them compete for similar prizes. But, no! Our people do not encourage sanity. 
“Our society promotes evil over good, indecency over decency, immorality over morality, and ungodliness over godliness.”
“The best in Mathematics competitions will go home with either a carton of cowbell milk or Indomie noodles, ridiculous stipends and laughable prizes. Yet these morons in BBN will earn millions for coming to suck breasts, speak thrash, display nudity, and get under the sheets on International TVs.”
“Our rich individuals, companies and corporate organizations will spend huge sums of money sponsoring dirty shows like BBN and Beauty Pageants where they will enthrone satanic activities, display nudity, molest our under aged girls, and make them win on bottom power rather than on real beauty and brains.”
This Nigerian is fed up. He’s tired of all acts of indecency on-air and he’s ready to be a change agent. What about you?
Then, I also ask why can’t more Nigerians create a platform like Script2Screen Africa Filmmaking Reality TV project; a concept of one of African’s next generational Filmmaker, Bright Wonder? 
A project where in addition to the glamour and glitz that film offers, it also seeks to explore its transformative effect through training, mentorship, and support.

Script2Screen Africa Filmmaking Reality TV project; a reality TV show which is themed “Film as a catalyst for revolution”, is focused on raising a new breed of filmmakers who understand that film still has the capacity to create positive change in every society. The vision of these trailblazers will shape thought provoking short and feature films that will pioneer positive revolution in Nigeria, and across the continent of Africa.
This Journey began in 2017 with auditions across Africa and 60 delegates from Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia and Kenya was selected. In 2018, the show was rebranded as Script2Screen Africa; Focus Nigeria with a sub theme “Corruption free Nigeria”.
This show is now shooting from Amen Estate, Ibeju Lekki, along Eleko Beach; with over 120 crew, cooks, sweepers, drivers and security men who are all Nigerians. They are out of millions of jobless Nigerians; they will be able to feed their families as well.
These are the sets of people who are with these young and new breed of filmmakers who believed that film still has the nitty-gritty and the capacity to create positive change in every society.
Although, they won’t be sudden millionaires like the notorious BBNaija whose winner is expected to walk away with a whopping N25 million and a breathtaking car but, they are also not going to walk away empty handed as well. 
At the end of the over 4-week project, winners will be taken in each category of; Best Group, Best Actor, Best Filmmaker, Best Director and Best Screenplay Writer. Aside the cash rewards, they will get technical supports for their projects, they will also be eligible for startup grants anytime they have an impacted film they want to make.
And above all, they are all Ambassadors for change and would be recognized by international bodies because, the project is supported by John D & Katherine T MacArthur Foundation; an international support organization, powered by High Definition Film Academy (@hdfilmacademy) www.hdfilmacademy.com and endorsed by the Federal Ministry of Youths and Sports.
Now compare this with a programme like BBNaija where all that is required to win is to live with a bunch of jobless and visionless people do all sorts of immoral things, get jobless people to vote for them and, viola, you’re the winner.
Script2screeen African Reality TV Show is now showing on African Movie Channels (AMCSeries) Channel 134 on Startimes at 3:00 pm on Sundays & Thursdays.
It will also be showing on Silverbird Network Television DSTV 252 on Sundays at 10:30pm, Wazobia TV/UHF channel 259 at 8:00 pm on Thursdays and 9:00 pm on Sundays and on GOTV 95 and Startimes channel 195 at 9:00 pm.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated his Senior Special Assistant on Digital Engagement, Strategy and New Media, Mr Otega Ogra, on his election to the Executive Committee of the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA).

PRESIDENT TINUBU CONGRATULATES OTEGA OGRA ON ELECTION TO WORLD FEDERATION OF ADVERTISERS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

President Tinubu described the development as a significant step for Nigeria’s growing influence in global communications.

 

He noted that Mr Ogra’s emergence as the only representative from West Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa on the Executive Committee reflects the depth of Nigerian expertise and the contribution of a new generation of young Nigerian professionals to global industry standards.

 

Mr Ogra was elected to the Executive Committee on the platform of the Advertisers Association of Nigeria (ADVAN), underscoring the role of Nigeria’s organised advertising and marketing industry in shaping representation at the global level.

 

The WFA is the leading global body for advertisers, representing over 150 multinational and Fortune 500 companies, alongside national advertiser associations across more than 60 countries, with a combined annual marketing spend running into hundreds of billions of dollars. Its Executive Committee is the organisation’s highest decision-making body, responsible for setting priorities and guiding global policy on responsible advertising, media transparency, sustainability, and the evolution of digital ecosystems.

 

President Tinubu noted that Mr Ogra’s election is both a personal distinction and a strategic opportunity for Nigeria and the African continent, placing them at the centre of global conversations on brand trust, platform accountability, innovation and the future of marketing and communications.

 

The President commended Mr Ogra, who also serves as Vice President of ADVAN, for his sustained contributions to strengthening Nigeria’s marketing and communications ecosystem, drawing on a career spanning leadership roles across the banking, manufacturing, and public sectors.

 

“Otega’s election reflects the growing recognition of Nigerian expertise and affirms our capacity to contribute meaningfully to the frameworks shaping global markets,” the President said.

 

President Tinubu added that the achievement aligns with his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, particularly in advancing the creative economy, strengthening digital governance, and positioning Nigeria as a competitive hub for innovation and enterprise.

 

Josh Faulks, CEO of the Australian advertiser association (AANA), and Simon Michaelides, Director General of the UK advertiser association (ISBA), also join the leadership team.

 

Current members of the executive committee, David Wheldon, President and Philip Myers, Deputy President, who is also the Chief Institutional Affairs and Corporate Communications Officer at Ferrero, continue in their current roles, as do all regional vice presidents.

Hold Peter Okoye Responsible If Any Harm Comes To Our Member – NASRE Fires Back At Singer

 

 

The Nigerian Association of Social and Resourceful Editors (NASRE) has raised alarm over an alleged threat by Afrobeat artist Peter Okoye (Mr P) against journalist and NASRE Directorate member, Mr Bayo Adetu, warning that the singer will be held responsible should any harm come to the journalist or his family.

Hold Peter Okoye Responsible If Any Harm Comes To Our Member – NASRE Fires Back At Singer

 

In a press statement issued on April 20, 2026, NASRE’s leadership, led by Comrade Femi Oyewale, expressed concern over the incident reportedly occurring at the Ikoyi High Court during proceedings in the ongoing legal dispute involving P-Square and their elder brother, Jude Okoye.

 

 

NASRE views the alleged statement as inappropriate and unacceptable, stating that any language suggesting intimidation against a journalist performing lawful duties raises serious concerns about press freedom, safety, and professional ethics.

 

 

The association has therefore called on Mr Peter Okoye to retract the alleged statement and issue a public apology to Mr Bayo Adetu, while also urging all parties involved in the ongoing legal matter to conduct themselves with restraint, respect, and strict adherence to the rule of law.

Read the statement below:

PRESS STATEMENT
For Immediate Release

NASRE RAISES ALARM OVER ALLEGED THREAT BY PETER OKOYE (MR P) AGAINST BAYO ADETU IN COURT, WARNS OF CONSEQUENCES

The leadership of the Nigerian Association of Social and Resourceful Editors (NASRE), led by Comrade Femi Oyewale, expresses concern over an alleged threat issued by popular Afrobeat artist Peter Okoye, widely known as Mr P, against journalist and NASRE Directorate member, Mr Bayo Adetu.

The incident reportedly occurred at the Ikoyi High Court during proceedings in the ongoing legal dispute involving the music duo P-Square and their elder brother, Jude Okoye. Eyewitnesses present in court stated that Mr Peter Okoye drew the attention of Justice Alexander Owoeye to Mr Adetu’s presence, noting that he was formerly P-Square’s publicist but now works with his brothers. The remark reportedly generated reactions in the courtroom.

It is further alleged that after the court session, Mr Peter Okoye confronted Mr Adetu in the presence of others and said, “You, Bayo, I will set you up.”

NASRE views this alleged statement as inappropriate and unacceptable. Any language suggesting harm or intimidation directed at a journalist performing lawful duties raises serious concerns regarding press freedom, safety, and professional ethics.

We state unequivocally that should anything happen to Mr Bayo Adetu or any member of his family, Mr Peter Okoye will be held accountable. Such statements, when directed at a media professional, are taken with utmost seriousness.

NASRE will not tolerate any form of intimidation, harassment, or threat against its members. We are fully prepared to activate all lawful media and legal channels to protect our members and safeguard the integrity of the profession. Mr Peter Okoye must be aware that utterances of this nature carry consequences and he will be held responsible for any outcome arising from this matter.

We therefore call on Mr Peter Okoye to retract the alleged statement and issue a public apology to Mr Bayo Adetu. We also urge all parties involved in the ongoing matter to conduct themselves with restraint, respect, and strict adherence to the rule of law.

The safety of journalists remains paramount, and the media will not be silenced.
