BBNaija Season 6: Big Brother Stops Airing Twitter Comments Over ‘Fear Of NBC’

Organizers of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 6 have stopped airing comments from Twitter, observed Glamtush.

In previous seasons, comments from viewers on Twitter about the show were aired at the bottom corner of the screen.

However, this Season 6 is different as Glamtush observed that only comments from Facebook by viewers are displayed on the screen.

Recall that the Nigerian government banned Twitter, a few weeks ago. And the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) immediately directed all broadcasting stations to suspend using Twitter as anyone caught using the platform is unpatriotic.

NBC said there would be penalties for the defaulters.

The fear of NBC shutting down its channel and show may be the reason for the compliance.

Also, Glamtush observed that BBNaija has not tweeted via its official handle @BBNaija for the past one month. Its last tweet on the platform was on June 3.
