Gospel music producer and actor, Joshua Mike-Bamiloye, has drawn a comparison between Christians watching BBNaija (Big Brother Naija) and football lovers, stating that they are in the same category. He shared his views on his Twitter handle, cautioning Christians against embracing activities that compete with their devotion to God.
In his tweet, Joshua emphasized that football lovers should not criticize BBNaija viewers if they themselves have not prioritized God over their passion for football. He humorously pointed out that football enthusiasts cannot condemn others for watching the reality show if they have skipped a fellowship to catch a hot match or checked live scores during a church service.
The gospel music producer urged Christians to encourage one another in their spiritual walk and to keep God as their top priority. He stressed the importance of recognizing any activity that competes with God for their hearts, as they are on the same boat. While acknowledging that BBNaija contains immoral scenes and lacks productivity, Joshua called for Christians to focus on building their relationship with God and applying wisdom in handling such entertainment content.
The Big Brother Naija reality show has been a subject of debate among Nigerian Christians, with some condemning it for its content and potential influence on the values of young viewers. Joshua Mike-Bamiloye’s comparison of BBNaija viewers to football lovers highlights the need for self-reflection and discernment in choosing what activities occupy one’s time and heart.
As a prominent figure in the gospel music and entertainment industry, Joshua’s message resonates with many Christians, encouraging them to place God at the forefront of their lives and decisions. His call to prioritize devotion to God over other forms of entertainment serves as a reminder for believers to maintain their faith and values in a world filled with diverse and often conflicting influences.
