If night one of Big Brother Naija Season 10 celebrated playful nods to pop culture, night two belonged entirely to history.
For his first appearance, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu channelled African highlife royalty, stepping out in a ’70s-style suit cut from fabric printed with vintage newspaper clippings – a clear homage to Prince Nico Mbarga, the legendary musician behind “Sweet Mother,” one of the highest-selling African singles of all time.
Then came his second appearance, a moment that felt like stepping into a history book. Inspired by Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, Nigeria’s flamboyant Minister of Finance in the 1960s, Ebuka wore a loose white top over a patterned george wrapper in wine and cream, with a train so long it needed an assistant, just as Okotie-Eboh once famously did. A straw boater hat, coral beads, and a walking cane completed the tribute, perfectly echoing the late Chief’s unmistakable presence.
Two looks, two icons, one night that reminded us why Ebuka remains one of the most compelling dressers on African television.
