As the 7th edition of the Big Brother Naija show commences in a few days, Big Brother a.k.a Biggie, the unseen guardian angel of the contestants, has written an emotional goodbye note to season 6, ” Shine Ya Eye” housemates.
The note officially closes the chapter of the 6th edition of the show while reminiscing on the amazing moments the ex-housemates had in the house.
In a special letter posted on the Africa Magic website, Biggie thanked them for the incredible journey and for giving everyone unhinged entertainment and fun.
They were also eulogised for their willingness to give fans access to their moments of happiness, sorrow, fear, tears and privacy.
The note reads, “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.”

Biggie went on to address each of the housemates, highlighting their contributions to the show. The unseen baritone-voiced guardian angel, however, joined those who were romantically entangled during the show while doing so.
Biggie added, “Saga, you showed us that it was okay for a man to wear his heart on his sleeve.🥰 You showed us it was possible to create genuine friendships and bonds that were worth sacrificing for. Shout out to Nini as well who never held back in saying things for what they were. We wish you and Saga the best in your friendship in the real world.
“Hey Princess, you came with a purpose and made sure you didn’t lose focus. Thank you for bringing a different dynamic to the game and putting it out there that it’s okay for a woman to be all about her business.
“Emmanuel and Liquorose, you both showed us that a spark can be ignited regardless of a previous mistake. Your friendship and romance despite the Wild Card debacle gave new meaning to the phrase “leaving the past behind”.

Side Bar: Hey Liquorose we will not be forgetting those amazing dance steps anytime soon.😁
