THE EVIL CALLED Naija, BBN.

By Victor Thompsons

THE SHOW formerly called Big Brother Nigeria, BBN, is a reality television series where contestants live together in a special constructed house that is isolated from the outside world. There they compete for a large cash prize by avoiding to be evicted through participants’ voting. This show was first launched and hosted in Nigeria in March 5, 2006 with 14 housemates, recently growing into 21 housemates with a multiplied cash prize of Sixty Million Naira (60, 000, 000) in 2019 as compared to the One Hundred Thousand Naira (N100, 000) of the first year. I forecast a tremendous but terrible growth in the coming years so long as we have “Christians” participants; housemates and viewers.

THE STORY BEHIND The term Big Brother originates from George Orwell's novel in 1984 with the theme, Continuous Oppressive Surveillance (COS), and it is the source of the inspiration of the todays’ reality shows across the world. Although George Orwell never revealed who the Big brother was, only known in decades to be a powerful supreme being that protects and makes peace with all, it is no doubt that this can only be Antichrist…

“And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming” – II Thessalonians 2:6-8.

The first version of Big Brother was broadcast in 1999 on Veronica, a Dutch commercial television channel currently a part of Talpa TV Network in the Netherlands. Subsequently syndicated internationally and eventually in Nigeria, hence, The Big Brother Naija.

THE SYMBOL This Evil called BBN has a logo depicted with an eye. The acclaimed ideology is to let the housemates know of a surety that a Big Brother Eye is watching all their activities in the house; hence they should play by the rules, a means to control their mind, which is a signal of evil.

This is far more than just censoring and televising their activities to the outside world but a Mind Control Initiation via the unknown voice that controls and directs their tasks and activities. This mind control is a sure evil. Are you kidding me?

This eye symbol is known as THE EYE OF HORUS also known as wadjet, wedjat or udjat. It is an ancient Egyptian magical symbol believed to be a symbol of protection, royal power, and good health. The Eye of Horus is similar to the Eye of Ra, which belongs to a different god, Ra, but represents many of the same concepts. This alone is a mark that the BBN is anti-Bible, anti- Christian, and should be rejected and opposed by Christians in every opportunity.

The Eye of Horus

Horus was the ancient Egyptian sky god who was usually depicted as a falcon, most likely a lanner or peregrine falcon. His right eye was associated with the sun god, Ra. The eye symbol represents the marking around the eye of the falcon, including the "teardrop" marking sometimes found below the eye.

THE SPECTACLE Although I barely know what this evil called BBN features, other than I am told; BBN features and promotes all sorts of immorality and despicable acts, pornography, arrogancy, etc.

THE SELLERS This Evil called BBN is an evil invention of the Devil and his followers. The sellers are the organizers. BBN has no morals or economic gains whatsoever, but is a deliberate and a well- planned act to lure young hearts with money.

“Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out mant inventions” – Ecclesiastes 7:29.

THE SHOPPERS The shoppers of this Evil called BBN are the housemates who applied and keenly contest, unbeknown to them that they have bargained and mortgage their souls to the devil for worldly fame and possessions.

“And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word and it becometh unfruitful” – Mark 4:18-19.

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despitefully, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death…” – Romans 1:28-32.

THE SOCIETIES This Evil called BBN is well promoted by the participants; the sellers (organizers), shoppers (contestants), spectators (viewers) to the Societies, the innocent and vulnerable people who barely know what BBN is all about or watch the shameful show but have heard from the promoters to be a very interesting show that they desire to watch.

THE SPECTATORS This Evil called BBN only thrived, thriving and will continue to thrive because of the spectators (viewers). It would have long been dead if spectators did not buy this evil from the sellers (organizers). Yes, it thrived because they have been deceived!

I believe this evil would have long died but for “Christians”. It lives long and will continue to live as “Churches” have begun to patronize and promote it by giving out recharge cards to members to vote for theirs. This Devil has designed this evil to lure baby Christians and Church goers and they are the ones participating, voting, watching and promoting, among family and friends. Some will foolishly and ignorantly defend that is a not sin to watch; citing the fact that their pastor watches it and parents watch it. Hence, they see nothing wrong watching it, either.

“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them” - II Corinthians 4:3-4.

“For this they willingly are ingnorant of…but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgement and perdition of ungodly men” – II Peter 3:5-7.

“Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil” – Proverbs 3:7.

THE SERVANT OF GOD This Evil called BBN should be preached against in all quarters and I am sure that true servants of God will, but for fakes.

“I will not have you to be ignorant… Lest Satan should get advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices”

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God” – II Corinthians 4:1-2.

Now what must you do?

 Avoid it – “Abstain from all appearance of evil” – I Thessalonians 5:22

 Confess it – “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” – I John 1:9.

“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent” – Acts 17:30. Read II Peter 3:9 also.

“Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil” – Proverbs 3:7.
