FUNSHO AROGUNDADE

A decade after it debuted on Nigerian television, the Big Brother reality show returns today Sunday 22 January on DSTV and GOtv Plus channel 29.

For GOtv subscribers, for the first time, they will be part of the exciting times on the hit reality show, Big Brother Naija.

The reality series,  formerly known as Big Brother Nigeria, will run for 78 days kicking off today 22 January, with a two-hour live, televised launch and end on 9 April, with a two-hour live, televised finale.

GOtv Value subscribers will also have the opportunity to watch highlights of the show on Africa Magic World, GOtv channel 10.

At the opening on Sunday, Nigerian singers Yemi Alade and Flavour will perform at the event where the 12 housemates selected after auditions in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja will be unveiled.

The housemates will perform a range of mental and physical tasks, and every week, the housemates will nominate other housemates for eviction. Every Sunday, the evicted housemate voted by the public will leave the Big Brother house, and at the end of the show, the housemate who has not been evicted will win a cash prize of N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car.

P.M.EXPRESS gathered that unlike its counterpart Big Brother Africa, Big Brother Naija will have no shower hour.

The presenter of the show is former Big Brother Nigeria housemate, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, and the voice of “Biggie” (Big Brother) will be Nigerian. As with all Big Brother shows around the world, the identity of Big Brother is a mystery and will remain so during and after the show.

During the course of the 78-day show, the housemates will be visited by various Nigerian personalities, including musicians and performers.

Big Brother Naija is an offshoot of globally successful Big Brother franchise.
