There has been an air of excitement among followers of the
Big Brother Naija show after organizers announced a merger of housemates from
Nigeria and South Africa.
Africa’s biggest reality show organised by MultiChoice
Nigeria on Thursday announced that it is switching up the show and will give
fans a new experience in 2023.
The CEO of Multichoice Nigeria, John Ugbe at the MultiChoice
Media Showcase event held in Lagos State promised that the experience will
unify cultures, and personalities, and will highlight what Nigeria and South
Africa have in common.
Although Ugbe did not disclose the prize, he explained that
the prize will be as massive as the entire show, both in cash and other
sponsored prizes.
The announcement got fans of the show and some ex-Big
Brother housemates thrilled as they took to Twitter to express their
excitement.
South Africa’s BBMzansi which was suspended seven years ago
was revived and aired its last edition with 18 housemates in 2022. 27 year old,
Michelle Mphowabadimo Mvundla emerged winner of the show and walked away with
R2 million (48 million naira)
Reacting on Twitter, former BBNaija housemate, Cross Okonkwo
said he wishes he could be in the house with the South African housemates.
”@cBig brother 9ja X big brother SA in one House. I wish I
can be in this house. 2023 go mad.”
While former housemates, Pere Egbi and Dorathy Bachor stated
that the show will be a Nuclear explosion.
Some avid fans of the show who spoke said the
big brother show will become the biggest reality show on the continent.
A fan, Yomi Adeleke said, “ I like the fact that the
organizers have decided to change things. The merger will promote both cultures
and entertain us, viewers. I only hope they pick interesting housemates because
ex-South African housemates were really bold.
Another identified as Oton Moses said he looks forward to
the show as it will get viewers glued to their screen and promote Nigeria’s
Afrobeats and South Africa’s Amapiano.
“I am looking forward to 2023 because this will be the
coming together of Amapiano and Afrobeats. I think it’s a good decision from
the organizers. The parties will be entertaining.”
“These two countries have a history of xenophobia, I feel
this merger will promote tolerance. South Africans and Nigerians might use this
opportunity to bond, Entertainment brings people together and I think this is
one important aspect that will be achieved while the show airs.” Samuel John
said.
Meanwhile, the ‘level up’ edition of Big Brother Naija is
still ongoing and will end in October.
There are currently 13 housemates competing for the N100
million grand prize.
On Sunday three housemates alongside the three others
evicted last week but became ‘house guests’ due to a twist introduced by the
organizers may be evicted from the show.
