Nigerians on social media have dismissed calls for the replacement of BBNaija host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu with other media personalities like Frank Edoho or Nancy Isime.

Frank Edoho hosted the defunct game show, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (WWTBAM) for 13 years while Nancy Isime, who is an actress, runs her personal TV show – The Nancy Isime show.

The calls for replacement comes few days after organisers of the show, MultiChoice Nigeria announced that the season 6 edition of the show is set to begin this year, calling on Nigerians to audition.

Following this, some Twitter users suggested that the organisers of the show should consider another person as the host for the show, other than Ebuka, who has been hosting it since 2017 (Season 2).

Ebuka, who himself participated in the first edition which held in 2006, has over the years been praised for his impressive presenting skills.

However, after the announcement by Multichoice Nigeria, some Twitter users especially women began advocating that a woman should also be used as the show host. 

Some ladies suggested that he should be replaced with sensational actress, model and media personality Nansy Isime.

Nancy recently co-hosted 14th Headies Award alongside comedian Bovi in January, 2021; making her the first female to host the prestigious event for the second time.

With her growing profile and successes, some female folks on Twitter began rooting for her to either replace or co-host with Ebuka.

Some of other Twitter users also suggested Edoho as Ebuka’s replacement, citing his 13-year stint as host of popularl game show, WWTBAM.

A Twitter user stated;

Ebuka don eat small, make him allow another person chop! Frank Edoho as BBNaija host for this season won’t be a bad choice.

Reacting to the numerous suggestion, Edoho wondered what Ebuka had done to deserve such suggestion.

The ace broadcaster said it was unfortunate that people would call for the replacement of the media personality who has hosted the show successfully for about three years.

In another post, the ace broadcaster said fans should expect him on television soon but not as BBNaija host, saying; “I will be back on TV soon. But absolutely not on Big Brother”.

Also supporting his statement, some Twitter users expressed that the regular host has showcased his competence over the years a s shouldn’t be replaced over gender role.
