The organisers of Big Brother Nigeria (BBNaija)
reality TV show, says its 2019 edition will
commence after the February general elections.
Naija News learned that the commencement
date was disclosed by a source at Payporte (the
official sponsors of the reality show) who
preferred to be kept anonymous.
This news medium reports that the
commencement date is slightly different from
last year’s edition which commenced in January
with Miracle emerging winner of the contest.
However, based on the forthcoming elections
next month, the much organisers decided to
pause the anticipated reality TV show.
“Big Brother will still hold but because it’s a
political year, we can’t really control to what
extent what the housemates will say in the
house and we don’t want it to become a tool
that will heat up the polity.
“The show itself normally gets twisted so we
don’t want to mix it up with politics in any way.
Its supposed to be entertaining, we wouldn’t
want it to be divisive in any way.
“If you notice, no religious activity gets
discussed in the house too, if you want to pray
you can pray, we don’t want anyone to be
forced to do it or divide Nigerians along those
lines. So after the elections and inaugurations,
it’ll happen.†The source said.
