Speaking about the show and what customers and patrons should expect, Head of Customer Experience at Airtel Ghana – Frank Gyan said “We partnered one of Ghana’s finest performers to provide an exceptional experience to our Premier customers and classical music patrons as we promised. 

At Airtel we believe in providing consummate telecom and lifestyle solutions for our customers. We know from our engagement with our high value customers that most of them are classical music enthusiasts hence our decision to partner Addaquay to entertain them with the finest performance.
On his part, Addaquaye, the Classical music expert said, “I deeply appreciate the effort Airtel Ghana is making to promote classical music in Ghana. I thank the Smartphone Network for the partnership and I hope patrons enjoyed the performance.”

In 2006, Addaquaye who was then 20, composed, arranged and recorded a first of its kind in Ghana Oratorio comprising of 32 classical songs which he named "Laudate" and had the first live performance of his "Laudate" at the auditorium of the University of Cape Coast in March that year where the premiere lasted two hours.

An Oratorio is a large musical work, which contains a succession of choruses, arias (solos), duets and recitatives with orchestral accompaniment. It is also a musical drama in which the choruses and duets serve as commentary while the narrator's recitative relates the story and connects one piece with another.

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).

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.
