The show BBnaija, lasted for 11 weeks, with the initial aim of 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 youths the opportunity to showcase their talent to the world. This year's edition was hosted by former Big Brother Nigeria housemate, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

Managing Director, MultiChoice Nigeria, John Ugbe 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.
