The popular Big Brother Naija (BBN) show will be returning in January 2017.

The revelation was made by the managing director of Multi-Choice Nigeria, Mr. John Ugbe.

Ugbe said the planned return of the reality show was based on popular demand by people who wanted it back.

He said “the show has been well developed following the successes of past seasons of Big Brother Africa.  

“The Big Brother Africa is popular for its entertainment value and ability to showcase ordinary Africans from different walks of life.

“It is one of the ways the company is enhancing quality and varieties of contents available on its platforms.

“We decided to re-invent BBA, the reality show, once again by bringing back the Nigerian version.

“We are confident that it will draw pan-African audiences for the same reasons that Big Brother Africa did.”

Our correspondents gathered that auditions for Big Brother Naija will hold in Lagos on Nov. 26 and Nov. 27, 2016.

After a 10-year interruption, Big Brothe Naija is coming back to educate and entertain Nigerian audience about Nigerian culture.

The return of the BBN reality TV show was based on the Big Brother Africa TV series.

The Big Brother Naija show will be aired on dedicated event channels on DStv and GOtv in January 2017.

The first edition of the show, after screening, saw 12 housemates vying for the coveted 100,000-dollar prize money by performing various mental and physical tasks.
