Although Organizers of Big Brother Naija explained why the show was hosted in South Africa, the minister seems not convinced there by ordering an investigation.
According to Punch Newspaper, The Minister of Information and
Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has directed the National Broadcasting Commission
to investigate the circumstances surrounding the reported shooting in South
Africa of the ongoing Big Brother Naija Reality show.

In a statement in Abuja on Tuesday, the Minister said the NBC
should determine whether Multi-Choice, by shooting the show in South Africa,
has breached the Nigerian Broadcasting Code in any way, as well as the issue of
possible deceit, since the viewing public was never told that the event would
be staged outside Nigeria.
”As a country of laws, only the outcome of the investigation will
determine our next line of action,” the minister said in the statement.

The publication further reports that Mohammed said while concerned
Nigerians had bombarded his office with calls to complain about what they
regard as an anomaly (of shooting outside the country a show meant for
Nigerians), they should remain calm while the NBC investigates the issue and
submits its findings
