the Managing Director, MultiChoice Nigeria.
Ugbe told the News Agency of Nigeria in
Lagos on Wednesday that the return of the
reality show was based on popular
demand by people who wanted it back.
He said: “The show has been well
developed following the successes of past
seasons of Big Brother Africa.
“The Big Brother Africa is popular for its
entertainment value and ability to
showcase ordinary Africans from
different walks of life.
“It is one of the ways the company is
enhancing quality and varieties of contents
available on its platforms.
“We decided to re-invent BBA, the reality
show, once again by bringing back the
Nigerian version.
“We are confident that it will draw pan-
African audiences for the same reasons
that Big Brother Africa did.”
NAN reports that auditions for Big Brother
Naija will hold in Lagos on November 26
and 27, 2016.
After a 10-year hiatus, BBN is coming
back to educate, entertain and inform
Nigerian audience about the culture and
multi tasking jobs carried out in the show.
The return of the BBN reality TV show
was based on the Big Brother Africa TV
series.
The Big Brother Naija show will be aired
