The last two editions of Big
Brother Naija reality show kicked off in January, but for some reason there's
been an unusual silence about the show this year.
LIB reports that the show has
been put on hold due to the forthcoming general elections in February.
A highly placed source at
Payporte (the official sponsors of the reality show) confirmed to LIB that,
'Big Brother will still hold but because its a political year, we can't really
control to what extent what the housemates will say in the house and we dont
want it to become a tool that will heat up the polity'.
The source went on to add that,
'the show itself normally gets twisted so we don't want to mix it up with
politics in anyway. Its supposed to be entertaining, we wouldn't want it to be
divisive in anyway. If you notice, no religious activity gets discussed in the
house too, if you want to pray you can pray, we don't want anyone to be forced
to do it or divide Nigerians along those lines. So after the elections and
inaugurations, it'll happen'.
The last edition of the show
kicked off on January 28, 2018 and wrapped up in April with Miracle Ikechukwu
emerging winner of the hotly contested reality show.
