We’re not interested in watching your political charades. Even if I don’t watch bbn, it’s a good distraction from the drain politicians have caused to the productivity of a once vibrant and enthusiastic youth.

Most of the people who criticize this BBN haven't watched it at all there is viewer's discretion there for crying out loud! most of this older generation easily forgot their youthful days for a sane person to say bbn will corrupt the youth that person is no longer sane!

Tell the naija leaders to channel this energy to the country's problems ; access to potable water supply, power supply, agriculture, health sector, education sector, child marriage, rape, end SARS, police corruption, abuse of power by uniformed men, potholes, shaking bridges etc
