Chief Curator
Top reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria is back, after an 11 year hiatus. The first edition which held back in 2006 had contestants like Gideon (the Tinsel actor), Katung (the eventual winner), Yinka Oremosu (the big guy) and Ebuka, the ‘fine boy’ who has gone on to become one of the top TV personalities in Nigeria and is the host of the 2017 Big Brother Nigeria.
We are excited to present the 12 contestants as curated on our Twitter account.
