Reality TV show “Big Brother Naija” returns on DStv and GOtv channels

A well patronized Nigeria reality TV show, based on the Big Brother TV series, "Big Brother Naija" will start screening on DStv and GOtv channels in January 2017, MultiChoice Nigeria has announced.

Speaking on this latest development, Managing Director, MultiChoice Nigeria, 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.

According to Mr. Ugbe, the show has been 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.

Now referred to as Big Brother Naija, the first edition of the show, will showcase twelve housemates competing for the coveted $100,000 prize money by performing various mental and physical tasks. 

Auditions for Big Brother Naija will be held in Lagos on the 26th and 27th of November.
