Fans of Big Brother Naija Season 10 experienced an unexpected interruption on the evening of September 4, 2025, as the popular reality TV show went off air abruptly due to a sudden power outage. The disruption affected the live transmission, leaving millions of viewers across Nigeria and the continent momentarily without their regular dose of the show’s drama, entertainment, and excitement.
MultiChoice Nigeria, the official organizers and broadcasters of BBNaija, quickly addressed the situation with a public notice assuring fans that the outage was caused by technical issues within the power supply system and that all housemates were safe and unharmed. “Our technical team is working swiftly to restore power and normal service,” the statement said, adding a lighthearted note: “Thank you for your patience. Grab a snack, stretch your legs. We’ll be back serving premium entertainment shortly!”
The outage lasted several hours, causing an unavoidable pause in the show’s broadcast. Social media erupted with concerned messages from fans expressing both worry for the contestants and anticipation for the show’s quick return. #BBNaija and related hashtags trended across Twitter and Instagram as fans speculated on the cause and duration of the interruption.
Inside the Big Brother house, contestants were reportedly unaffected by the blackout, safely continuing their interactions under emergency lighting and support systems. The show’s production crew worked behind the scenes to troubleshoot and fix the power issue to minimize any disruption to filming and operations.
BBNaija Season 10, popularly known as 10/10, has been one of the most-watched editions yet, with viewers glued to the lives, relationships, and high-stakes game played by the 26 housemates. The interruption was an unexpected hiccup in a season already filled with intense competition, emotional revelations, and captivating entertainment.
MultiChoice’s prompt communication reassured sponsors, fans, and stakeholders that the program’s excellence and safety protocols remain a top priority. The technical team’s swift action allowed the transmission to resume later the same night, restoring the connection between the housemates and their eager audience.
The incident underscores the challenges faced by live broadcasts, especially in Nigeria where infrastructural issues occasionally pose disruptions. Nevertheless, the resilience and commitment of the producers and the loyalty of fans help maintain BBNaija’s stature as Nigeria’s premier reality TV show.
