"Now it’s time to say goodbye” – Read Biggie’s Letter to the BBNaija Shine Ya Eye geng

With a new season of the BBNaija reality show only a few days away, Big Brother penned a love letter to the Shine Ya Eye housemates to close that chapter and reminisce on the amazing moments they had in the house.

In a special letter posted on the Africa Magic website, thanked them for the incredible journey and for gracing everyone with unhinged entertainment and fun. “You all came into the House facing Biggie’s infamous twists right from the first day. However, you adjusted to the new normal and bravely moved through every week. This brought us laughter, tears, joy and unrestrained love,” the letter reads.

“We appreciate your willingness to give us access to the entirety of who you are; your happiness, fears, flaws and every other thing that made you human. We salute your courage.”
