Nigerian Gospel preacher Apostle Michael Orokpo has stirred conversations among Christians after describing the popular reality television programme Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) as “a recruitment camp for agents of darkness.”
According to remarks shared during a recent sermon, Orokpo expressed concern over what he believes is the programme’s influence on the values, morality, and spiritual lives of its audience. He urged Christians to exercise discernment in the entertainment they consume and to prioritize content that strengthens their faith and spiritual growth.
The statement has generated mixed reactions within Christian circles and beyond. While some believers agreed with his concerns, arguing that Christians should carefully evaluate the media they engage with, others maintained that views on television programmes and their impact differ from person to person.
