Big Brother Naija host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, has revealed why a lot of steamy and intimate moments that occurred in the house were not shown on live TV.
According to the 5-time host, while a lot played out in the BBNaija house, some scenes have to be censored due to the regulations of the National Broadcasting Commission, (NBC).
Ebuka made this known in an interview with Beat FM while reacting to claims by fans that viewers are shown what the organisers want them to see.
He also refuted insinuations that he had any grouse against Erica.
I like Erica; I really like Erica, which is also funny because people thought that I hated her. She gave us good content; she and Kiddwaya.
“First things first, we live in a country that has regulations. We all know about the NBC; there are certain things we can never show whether we like it or not. I always say that the show would be a different show if it was not a Nigerian show or if it was not in Nigeria because of the kind of things that we cannot show. Those things are not in our call; it is just legal issues.
“Secondly, this talk about what we showed about Kiddwaya and Erica; we actually did not show anything about them if anybody remembers. Nothing was shown about them. We did not show anything. In fact, it was even Ka3na and Praise that people saw under the sheets.
A lot of these things happened under the sheets; so, we do not know what is happening. We are not going to send a ninja to remove the sheet so that we can get a good shot.
People say we showed some things that made Erica and Kiddwaya look bad and I ask how? How did we make them look bad? Everything that has been revealed on the reunion show is actually on air. It just so happened that people decided to assume what they assumed,” he said.
