In the ongoing Big Brother Naija reality TV show, the organisers have added a twist to the ‘Shine Ya Eye’ edition by introducing four new housemates.

The housemates were introduced shortly after Yerins, Niyi and Beatrice were evicted from the show.

The show started with 11 men on July 24 — ahead of day two when 11 ladies joined, making up 22 housemates.

Two male participants and one female respectively were removed at the first eviction.

On the same day, four new housemates identified as Michael, Kayvee, JMK, and Queen were added to the show.

This brings the total number of participants on the ‘Shine Ya Eye’ edition to 23 as of August 8.

The BBNaija 2021 season is the sixth of its kind. It will run for 72 days — from July 24 to October 3, 2021.

According to the statement, “A total of four new housemates were introduced into the game tonight, meaning that the full complement of housemates has gone up by one, rather than down. We were pretty sure it was going to move in the other direction. It’s going to start getting a little crowded, at this rate.

“Of course, the new housemates might be at something of a disadvantage — they have no rapport with the others, they don’t know the dynamics at play and — this is a big one — there might be some resentment on the part of the housemates who have had to play the game for the past two weeks suddenly finding themselves with these new upstarts who haven’t put in the time.

“It’s worth remembering, however, that the new housemates have had to spend these past two weeks in isolation, sequestered away from Covid-19, which can’t have been much fun.”

See the profile of the new housemates as seen on Africa Magic’s website:

MICHAEL

Full name: Michael Chukwuebuka Ngene

“A bad boy with magnetism” and “open-minded”, are some of the words Ebuka uses to describe himself. This 28-year-old musician and aspiring filmmaker was born in Lagos, then moved to the United States of America as a teenager – but is currently based in Abuja.

Calling himself a “curious participant of life”, Ebuka likes to explore interests and people with an open mind and maintains he is dedicated to growing into the best version of himself. He believes being the product of two different societies; America and Nigeria, has created an interesting perspective on life that many viewers will be able to relate to.

In his free time, you will find Ebuka writing, creating music or pursuing his interests in cinematography.

JMK

Full name: Jumoke Zainab Adedoyin

A 23-year-old law graduate from Kwara State, JMK has aspirations of becoming a certified member of the Nigerian Bar.
