‘Big Brother Nigeria’ returns for 3rd edition

MultiChoice Nigeria has announced the return of Africa’s biggest reality television show, ‘Big Brother Nigeria’, for a third edition.

The return of the show follows the critical success of the second edition which saw aspiring hip-hop artist Efe Ejeba winning the coveted N25 million (approximately N$890 000) prize money and an SUV after almost three months of drama, intrigue, betrayal and entertainment in the Big Brother house.

Speaking on ‘Big Brother Nigeria’s’ return, the regional director of M-Net West Africa, Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, said: “Around the globe, the Big Brother format remains one of the most popular genres of entertainment and this is also the case in Nigeria. The edition of ‘Big Brother Nigeria’ was one of the most successful reality shows, not just in Nigeria, but around the continent, with a record number of votes and many of the housemates going on to pursue careers in entertainment. We are delighted to have the show return for a third edition and cannot wait for our audiences to once again tune in to experience all of the exciting entertainment that the show is sure to provide”.

Managing director of MultiChoice Nigeria, John Ugbe, said: “At MultiChoice we take pride in providing the best entertainment available to viewers, not just in Nigeria, but across Africa. The last ‘Big Brother Nigeria’ was a tremendous success and prompted multiple queries about the show’s return. We are delighted to announce that the show is indeed returning for a third edition, on a bigger scale than ever before. The number of audition locations has increased and we expect that the third edition will deliver even more excitement, intrigue and round-the-clock entertainment that the Big Brother platform is globally renowned for.”
