Big Brother Naija housemates are my family members – Ebuka

Ebuka Obi-Uchendu

With just one tweet, Big Brother Naija host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, has shut down talks that some of the contestants are related to him.

Some fans of the reality TV show had pointed out that the host bears a striking resemblance to one of the housemates, Tobi Bakre.

Others say Ebuka’s wife, Cynthia, and another housemate, Cee-C, look alike.

With questions being asked on social media, the lawyer turned celebrity journalist on Friday tweeted on Friday that not only is Tobi his brother and Cee-C his sister-in-law, another housemate, Leo, is his father.


Ebuka, who is hosting Big Brother Naija for the second consecutive season, contested in the first edition of the show produced in Nigeria in 2006.

The show went on an 11-year break until it returned for a second instalment recorded in South Africa in 2017.
