Why we are bringing back Big Brother Nigeria – Multichoice boss

Katung Aduwak will be the happiest person on
earth to reconnect with the reality TV show
that made him famous about 10 years ago
when the new Big Brother Nigeria finally hits
the screen again.
Aduwak emerged winner of the show which
also produced other notable stars such as
Africa Magic’s Tinsel actor, Gideon Okeke, and
TV personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu after a
three-month stay in the house. He has since
moved on, and made a name for himself after
the show. But he has never been privileged to
shake hands with his successor and
MultiChoice Nigeria is providing the opportunity
for him to do so, as it has announced plans for
the return of the Nigeria reality TV show based
on the Big Brother TV series. Now referred to
as Big Brother Naija, the show will air on
dedicated event channels on DStv and GOtv in
January2017.

Managing Director, MultiChoice Nigeria, Mr.
John Ugbe said the comeback of the show is
one of the ways the company is enhancing the
quality and variety of content available on its
platforms.
He also said the brand is well developed
following the successes of past seasons of Big
Brother Africa. “Big Brother Africa was popular
for its entertainment value and ability to
showcase ordinary Africans from different
walks of life. We decided to re-invent the
reality show once again by bringing back the
Nigerian version which we are confident will
draw pan-African audiences for the same
reasons that Big Brother Africa did,” said Ugbe.
In the first edition of the show, twelve
housemates vied for the coveted $100,000
prize money by performing various mental and
physical tasks. Auditions for Big Brother Naija
will hold in Lagos on the 26th and 27th of
November; more information on the show will
be revealed in the coming weeks.
