I Want a Naija Boy, a new reality show on Showmax, is causing quite a stir on social media.
The show features South African women and Nigerian guys, and auditions are still open.
South Africans have reacted positively to the promotional trailer, which was released on Showmax’s official Instagram page.
“Showmax has confirmed that they are currently casting for I Want A Naija Boy, a dating show that seeks to bring South Africans and Nigerians together and celebrate the diversity of the two African giants because love knows no borders,” reveals Phil.
“That black people at Showmax saw a pitch for ‘I Want A Naija Boy’ and said yes this is great content for the continent, baffles me. Nothing good will come out of this and only an ignorant person would ignore the culture tension between SA and Nigerians right now. Sad,” entertainment commentator, Phil Mphela tweeted.

Some people have called for the cancellation of the show before its premiere.

Our crime stats for the past 15 years show Jollofs are number 1 in human trafficking; forced prostitution; kidnapping; scams & drugdealing
but Producers at Showmax are unable to read the room & instead they create a garbage show like "I want a Naija Boy" to spit in our faces 💔 pic.twitter.com/46TbFB4v7y

Honestly that “I Want A Naija Boy” is a horrible concept and it’s degrading really https://t.co/KpYbUl4YxZ
