What is Big Brother Naija

Big Brother Naija is a reality TV show which has taken many people to stardom.

The reality show showcase a group of people being kept in a confined space, stopped from having contact with people outside the house (unless the anchor, Big Brother decides to let them), and are made to interact and play games that could gain their chances of making money.

 

Also, the show has emerged as one of the best and most recognized entertainment shows in Nigeria (even abroad), Why? This may be because of the fun, entertainment, and emotions the show gives, like the confessional session in the diary room, the jacuzzi parties, the Friday night arena games and not to forget the ‘scary’ evictions that take place on Sundays.

 

Who is the owner of Big Brother Naija

For years, many have had the thought that the show is owned by a single individual, but this is ideology is wrong.

Although, the show’s ownership has changed a couple of times, currently, Big Brother Naija is owned by the Banijay Group of companies.

The group is known to create entertainment in 20 different countries. They are behind the successful running of shows like Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Survivors, hit series like Peaky Blinders, Mr. Bean, Black Mirror, and our very own Big Brother Naija.

 

Where is the Big Brother Naija house located

The interior decorations of the BBNaija house are something one would be wowed about, and this has made people wonder and ask, where is the BBNaija house located?

During the first two seasons of the show, the house was located in South Africa.

The organizers of the show however received a series of backlash from Nigerians, who asked them to bring the show to Nigeria, since it’s a show by Nigerians for Nigerians.

Following this, the show was subsequently moved to Lagos.

According to reports, the BBNaija house is currently located in the Ilupeju area of Lagos state.

Is Ebuka the producer of BBNaija?

Again, against other misconceptions, the producer of the BBNaija reality show is Red Pepper Pictures, a South African company.

Based on the active role of Ebuka in the show, many have believed he is the producer or director of the show, However, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu is not the producer of the reality show, he is just the host of the show.
