No 'Shower Hour' On Big Brother Naija - Says MultiChoice

As preparations are in top gear for the second edition of social reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria, organisers have revealed that there will be no broadcast of nude footage called ‘Shower Hour’, when the show returns on January 22, 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.

When the Big Brother Naija All-Stars house first opened on July 23, the curious eyes of fans picked up on the parrot. It wasn’t just that it seemed out of place; it was also a little weird and didn’t match the decor. So the guessing game began with everyone wondering if it was just a decorative piece or if it held some significance that we had to pay attention to. Those who guessed that it had some relevance we must pay attention to were correct. A little secret you should know first - the parrot is an all-hearing one, and it will spill all the secrets it's heard at 9 pm today. It’s about to be pure mayhem, and we are here for it! For the past two weeks, the parrot has carefully listened to all the drama and gossip in the house, and it is time for the parrot to do what parrots know how to do best, gossip. Big Brother will bring the parrot to life for the first time today, Friday, August 4, at 9 pm, and you best believe the drama is about to go up a notch higher.
