Tonto Dike’s Ex, Churchill on BBNaija 2020
Tonto Dike’s ex-husband and businessman, Olakunle Churchill has disagreed with the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi and Nigerian politician and former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fans- Kayode on their take on the on-going BBNaija reality TV show.
The two personalities have earlier complained about the way Nigerian youth concentrate on the show and they suggested that the show be scrapped and replaced with a more interesting yet morally upright and skill empowering show.
They berated the way youth invest time and attention on the show instead of personal development, employment opportunities, or political and nation-building issues.
On the other hand, Churchill believes that the BBNaija reality show is a sure source of entertainment for the Nigerian youth while the leaders are not in any way helping the youth but they are fast to condemn them.
He stated that the dreams of the Nigerian youth are daily being chattered with the kind of hurdles they get to deal with daily. According to the estranged husband of the famous actress, the youth in Nigeria are talented but the leaders are not helping.
“The so called ‘evil’ reality show is supposed to be sponsored by the Nigerian government since it generates more traffic and provides a larger platform than any reality show to pass messages and encourage the youths to keep pressing on.
“Our leaders should focus on more pressing issues. Youths needs to be encouraged, develop their dreams and be empowered/employed. By now each leader is supposed to have up to 20-40 youths they mentor, but in our country youths are like threats to them.”
Churchill maintained that BBNaija is not a problem for Nigeria, stating that instead greed and lack of interest in generational growth are.
