The show, which lasted 11 weeks, was aimed at identifying, nurturing,
and promoting young talent to a wide range of viewers which cut across
the African continent. After a 10 year hiatus, the show was repackaged
to give more Nigerian youth the opportunity to showcase their talent
to the world. The year's edition was hosted by former Big Brother Nigeria
housemate, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
Managing Director, MultiChoice Nigeria John Ugbe, speaking on the
show’s finale said: "We are particularly excited about the fresh
talent the Big Brother Naija platform has birthed. The buzz generated
by the show has demonstrated its success as a platform that seeks to
create stars and promote the spirit of entrepreneurship of the Nigerian
youth."
"We commend all the housemates for their excellent showing, endurance
and determination." Citing the fame and fortune that the BBNaija
platform provides, Ugbe further urged all the housemates to take a cue
from the positive examples of past housemates such as Ebuka Obi-Uchendu,
Gideon Okeke, Katung Aduwak among others, in carving a niche for themselves
in Nigeria's evolving entertainment industry.
Debie-Rise emerged the third runner up, TBoss the second runner up
and Bisola the first runner up.
There were other wins for the night. TBoss won the least time in all
Payporte games, while Bisola carted away the prize for having the best
ONE campaign presentation for the education of the girl-child. TBoss
was presented with a N500, 000 cheque and Bisola will join the ONE Campaign
team in New York City for the girl-child education at the United Nations.
The grand finale was quite exciting as the live audience and viewers
were treated to music from two of Nigeria’s biggest music stars: 2Baba
and Tiwa Savage who performed her latest single “All Over”.
Just look at the huge margin between Efe & Bisola!!!Efe won with a whooping 57.61%... Nigeria definitely loves
