Auditions for the Big Brother Naija season 4 kicked off yesterday at 8 locations nationwide – Lagos, Abuja, Port-Harcourt, Calabar, Ibadan, Benin, and Warri.

In Lagos, the crowd at Adeniyi Jones was so much that it caused massive traffic around the venue and beyond. The appeal of fame and money was definitely too strong for Nigerians to ignore.

Recall that the first edition of Big Brother Naija aired in 2006 with housemates like Ebuka, Katung, Maureen, and Gideon. Katung was the winner, but it was Ebuka who went on to become the most popular of the lot, hosting other seasons of the reality TV show.

The next season, however, did not air until 2017, possibly due to a lack of sponsors. Housemates on the Big Brother Naija season 2 included actress and singer, Bisola, Thin Tall Tony the infamous liar, Efe, TBoss, singer Debbie Rise and Mavis.

It was during this season that Nigerians become more aware of the reality show and some began to complain of what they termed the uselessness and immorality of the show, especially for children. After several back and forths, the general consensus was for parents and other uninterested parties to activate parental control and lock channel with their secret code.

Big Brother Naija had now grown to an international show with billions of Africans at home and abroad tuning in every day to watch and vote. It was time for a third season.
