The Big Brother Naija is set to return in January 2017 after a 10-year hiatus.
MultiChoice Nigeria Managing Director, John Ugbe disclosed this in Lagos on Wednesday. He noted that the return of the reality show was due to the popular demand by people who wanted it back.

Meanwhile, auditions for the returning Big Brother Naija will hold in Lagos on Nov. 26 and Nov. 27, 2016.
The show is set to educate, entertain and inform the Nigerian audience about the beauty of the culture and lifestyle of the people. It also involves various mental and physical tasks.
