Ebuka Obi Uchendu is one of the most successful housemates out of the big brother Naija reality tv show. His success has seen him dominating as the show’s host for years including the ongoing BBNaija No Loose Guard season.
Unfortunately, the BBNaija no loose guard season has seen a sharp decline with several Nigerians abandoning the show for other sources of entertainment. This decline did not begin this year and it has something to do with the fact that Nigerians are hungry and angry.

Now, several reality show experts says its time Ebuka Obi Uchendu distance himself from Big Brother Naija after this season ends. The reason is that Nigerians are now indifferennt and disinterested for this year’s edition of the show despite the attempt to spice it up.
According to the experts, BBNaija No loose Guard view metrics is “just EMBARRASSING and unsettling.” in their words, “any intelligent Nigerian would at this point accept the fact that Big Brother Naija has completed its lifespan and outlived its novelty for Nigerians.”
“Nigerians will never go wild about the show again even if Multi choice drags Bobrisky, Verydarkblackman and Blessing CEO into the house and pay them to have threesomes in front of the cameras every eviction night.Check am na. Fewer sponsors. Fewer Gotv and DStv subscriptions to follow the show compared to other seasons.”
Moist especially the poor social media buzz is enough to tell Ebuka Obi Uchendu and the show organizers that majority of Nigerians don’t even know that Big Brother Naija TV show is even ongoing. Another reason is that not a single housemate has resonated their presence to the point of Nigerians knowing their name compared to other seasons.
The experts further compared another show to the franchise noting that even the worst season of Star quest on NTA or a bad imitation of Papa Ajasco drama on an upcoming influencer’s TikTok page would have more buzz than this year’s Big Brother.
Another Facebook blogger noted that he pity the organizers and wonder how they will raise the money to pay the winners of the show. “How are they even able to feed the housemates and keep power running in that place 24/7 because 95% of Nigerians have no interest in subscribing to vote,” the blogger noted.
Reality tv show experts further shared that advanced countries in the world have long abandoned Big Brother and even the South African owners of DSTV who are the sole organizers of the Big Brother show in Nigeria stopped running the show in their own country and have focused on just milking the lucrative Nigerian entertainment market.
It’s been a good run for Big Brother in Nigeria.But at this point, they have to throw in the towel and be grateful for the billions they made from the masses all these years they were hot cake on our screens. Plus when you think about it, BBN was never really capable of creating REAL stars the way other talent based entertainment shows did anyway.
Asides Ebuka Obi Uchendu, what Big Brother Naija winner or participant ever came out to become anything beyond a clout chasing ‘ex BBN housemate’ with plenty social media followers that brands seek out for ambassadorial deals within the first few months of their leaving the house?’

At least MTN project Fame and Idols made music stars like lyanya, Chidimma, Mercy Chinwo, Chike and Omawumi. Which creative who made it into BBN house and even won was able to come out and actualize their creative abilities using the visibility and exposure Big Brother gave them?Lekan, Efe and Hazel Oyeze Onou Whitemoney to mention but a few all tried and fizzled into obscurity and irrelevance.
Therefore its time Ebuka carry his handsomeness, eloquence and sleek fashion sense to other brands with more creative YouTube reality show concepts and apply. Yes. The world is rapidly evolving past the TV era and gravitating towards YouTube and social media. People no longer care about sitting in front of a TV screen anymore te follow up on boring programs.
