This season of Big Brother Naija started with a bang all women living in the house on the first night of the show’s 10th season.
Fifteen strong, different ladies from all around Nigeria came to “Biggie’s” estate to make her-story and get things going for what seems like an exciting new season.
Fido’s live performance of “Joy Is Coming” began the 2025 edition and set the tone for a season full of pandemonium, charm, and charisma.
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the style king, wore two statement outfits: one was a denim jacket and pink pants that were inspired by Osuofia (Nkem Owoh’s famous comedy swagger), and the other was a pink agbada that paid homage to King Sunny Ade and oozed vintage juju elegance.
