BBA: A BLESSING OR CURSE TO AFRICAN YOUTHS?

news
Television has been an audiovisual medium used to disseminate information to the public. Asides performing that function, it has also been an avenue to educate and entertain viewers.

No doubt, the youths have been influenced through television programmes either positively or otherwise. Because of its vital functions, many expect programmes being aired on the platform to teach morals.

Television, in the last decade, has played host to several programmes that have made many to ask questions. One of such programmes that have flooded the television screens are reality shows, which have come in various forms.

However, eyebrows have been raised as regards their contents and one of such is the Big Brother Africa, which unarguably is Africa’s biggest.

The programme has been criticised since its inception some years ago. However, the show has made some of its contestants stars, who now earn big in the entertainment industry. Winner of the present edition is expected to walk away with $300,000.

What has made the show to be heavily criticised is the n8dity and this has made many to ask what moral lesson the BBA teaches the African youths, which the African culture frowns at.

Do you think the BBA has positively impacted on the African youths with the huge amount being placed on the show as star prize?

ART– AN EYE INTO ANOTHER WORLD

For some reason, I have always been a fan of the arts.

I have therefore had to steal from a friend, a classmate and most of all, a talented artist as I, myself, am not so gifted as to put up my works for display but still, I shall humour you eventually with my rendition of a popular cartoon that you may recognise if you grew up watching ‘Looney Tones’. Nevertheless, gift is not a necessity to appreciate beauty and the plethora of magna opera (The many great works). Mr Joshua Zirigbe (9β) is a Nigerian from Delta State and he has given us the opportunit...

THE FIRE ON 23 ROAD – FESTAC, LAGOS

A fire outbreak occured on 23 Road in Festac on Saturday the 14th, February, 2015 which is the popular Valentine's day. Jouleconcept's correspondent, Mr Juwah Awele covered the story and gave a report in form of an article about the occurrence. This can be read below: “There is fire in house 2! There were children locked inside the house…” those were the words of my elderly neighbour, Mrs A, returning from the scene of some ongoing tragedy. Immediately, my mother went for all our official documents she always keeps in a ready to go bag while, my father, brother and I set off in the direction of the blaze. On getting to the front of the close, T Close, we observed the residents of the first few houses on the left hastily withdrawing their belongings from their homes; stuffing generators, plasma TVs, gas cylinders and the works into the back seat of their cars. Some had already driven their cars away! Immediately, we realised the fire was coming from the next cl...
