"No Shower hours on Big Brother Naija" says MultiChoice

As we get ready for the second edition of Nigeria's reality TV show, Big Brother Naija, Organisers have highlighted a few lines on what to expect in the 11 weeks.

The organisers have made it clear that they will not broadcast nude footage commonly known as 'shower hour'  when the show airs on the 22 January, 2017.

This comes to some fans as ‘decent’, following the controversies generated by that segment of the show, during the now rested continental edition, Big Brother Africa (BBA).

MultiChoice is bringing back the Nigerian version of the series after 10 years. It had announced after the last edition of BBA that each African country will stage the show henceforth.

Renamed Big Brother Naija, the show will have 12 housemates who will compete for the prize of N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car.

Sponsored by PayPorte, the program will run for 78 days, starting 22 January 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised launch and end on 9 April 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised finale.

MultiChoice announced that the show will air on dedicated event channels on all DStv packages on channel 198 and GOtvPlus on channel 29.

During the show, a variety of Nigerian personalities will visit the Big Brother Naija house, including musicians and actors, while the show’s presenter will also be a Nigerian.

Meanwhile, auditions for the show have been concluded in Lagos, Abuja and Port-Harcourt, witnessing an impressive turnout of Big Brother Naija hopefuls from different backgrounds, each with unique skills and personalities.

Caroline Oghuma, Public Relations, Manager, MultiChoice, expressed her delight at the abundance of talent displayed during the auditions. She noted that the Big Brother reality show is about providing a platform to showcase people from different walks of life, creating an avenue for talent to be spotted and ultimately propelling people into superstardom.

“We believe that Big Brother Naija will birth a new and refreshing crop of talented Nigerians. Judging from the energy we witnessed at the audition, it is safe to say that Nigerians are in for an amazing show,” said Oghuma.
