A non-governmental organisation, CitizenGO, has petitioned the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), to block the broadcast of the reality TV show, Big Brother Naija.
The group is currently gathering signatures online to stop the show and has sent the petition to policy makers, the NBC, and the Presidency.
CitizenGO has collected 3,160 signatures since they began on February 20 and are targeting at least 5,000 in total.
"Big Brother Nigeria is a corruption of TV Reality shows. The Nigerian public is complaining about the moral perversity in the House of the Big Brother Nigeria.
"In one episode last two weeks or so, the inmates were shown openly kissing and caressing one another. This is a celebration of obscenity, eroticism and idleness," the group said in a statement.
"More importantly, it is a big mockery of Nigerian culture and tradition. Since the inmates are Nigerians, they should have been projecting the Nigerian cultural heritage. But instead of doing that, they are bastardising it.
"The biggest tragedy of the on-going Big Brother Nigeria is that our children are also glued to the TV screen watching it. Children are our future. Therefore we should protect them from lewd exposure, which might prevent their growth into free, independent and well-developed citizens.
"The NBC must live up to its bidding as a body charged with controlling, monitoring, regulating the electronic media and monitoring of satellite transmission in Nigeria. Our TV stations cannot become dumping grounds for all sorts of immoral programs", the group stated.
