Big Brother Naija’s first eviction night of the season was always going to be tense — but trust Ebuka Obi-Uchendu to turn suspense into a full-scale style moment.
The host, already famed for his sartorial showmanship, arrived in a royal blue three-piece suit that felt like it stepped straight off a Nollywood red carpet. The look was a tribute to none other than Chinedu Ikedieze — the veteran actor, comedian, and one half of the legendary Aki and Pawpaw duo whose on-screen charm has become the stuff of Nigerian pop culture history (and a thousand memes).
Designed by ATAFO, the outfit had drama in all the right places: a sharply tailored fit, a long structured overcoat for extra gravitas, and a crisp white shirt tucked neatly under a black leather belt. Accessories stayed perfectly on theme with a matching blue fedora, dark sunglasses, and polished black shoes — the kind of details that say “Yes, I’m the main character” without ever needing to raise their voice.
“Inspired by pop culture icon Chinedu Ikedieze. Veteran actor, comedian and one half of the legendary Aki and Pawpaw. Undisputed Nollywood royalty and global meme factory. Boss!!!” Ebuka wrote of the look.
Of course, there was still the small matter of an eviction to address — and Ebuka, master of suspense, kept viewers hanging on every pause before finally revealing which housemate’s journey was over. But for a few minutes, the drama in the house had competition… and it was dressed head-to-toe in royal blue.
