With just one tweet, Big Brother Naija host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, has shut down talks that some of the contestants are related to him.
Some fans of the reality TV show had pointed out that the host bears a striking resemblance to one of the housemates, Tobi Bakre.
Others say Ebuka’s wife, Cynthia, and another housemate, Cee-C, look alike.
With questions being asked on social media, the lawyer turned celebrity journalist on Friday tweeted on Friday that not only is Tobi his brother and Cee-C his sister-in-law, another housemate, Leo, is his father.
Yup. He’s my blood brother. Also, don’t forget that CeeC is my sister inlaw too. And Leo is my father. Anything else? https://t.co/3QNWmTmPBQ
