The curtains have finally closed on Big Brother Naija 2025, marking the end of yet another thrilling season. After three intense months filled with drama, evictions, and one disqualification, the show’s grand finale brought with it one of the night’s biggest highlights — host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu’sunforgettable fashion moments.
As always, Ebuka made sure to leave fans talking with not one but two remarkable outfits that celebrated Nigerian icons through fashion and nostalgia.
A Throwback to Shina Peters’ Iconic Era
Ebuka’s first look of the evening paid tribute to legendary Afro-Juju singer Sir Shina Peters, drawing inspiration from his 1989 Ace album cover. The look was a bold and stylish recreation designed by Mai Atafo, known for his impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The outfit featured a black jacket with striking red and white accents, paired with matching red shoes and a belt — a vibrant nod to Shina Peters’ flamboyant signature style. The trousers, cut in a vintage Indian-inspired design, mirrored the musician’s iconic silhouette from decades ago.
To complete the homage, Ebuka shared photos of himself posing beside the original Ace album cover, showcasing how closely the recreation captured the spirit of Shina Peters’ legendary look. He captioned the post with a heartfelt note, acknowledging the timeless influence of the Ace album, which remains a party staple across Nigeria.
Honoring a Legend: Pete Edochie-Inspired Finale Look
For his closing outfit of the night, Ebuka went for something deeply cultural and regal — a tribute toChief Pete Edochie, the godfather of Nigerian film, television, and stage. Designed once again by Mai Atafo, the ensemble was a masterclass in elegance and cultural pride.
In his post, Ebuka described Edochie as “a national treasure, icon, legend, and king.” The outfit beautifully merged traditional elements with a modern cut, perfectly embodying the actor’s dignified aura and timeless influence in Nollywood.
Fans React: ‘Pure Class and Nostalgia’
As soon as Ebuka stepped on stage, social media lit up with excitement. Fans and celebrities alike couldn’t stop talking about the nostalgic brilliance of his looks.
One fan, @somtel_c, wrote: “The ATAFO touch always brings nostalgia and style together.” Another commented: “Now this is how you honor a legend — pure class.”
Others applauded Ebuka’s consistent ability to elevate fashion on Nigerian television. @cincoworld shared: “For the last time this season, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the number one TV host in Africa! You’re doing well.”
Of course, no fashion moment is complete without a little banter. One viewer joked about winning a bet that Ebuka wouldn’t wear a cap, while another teased: “This trouser too dey timid for you. I can’t stop laughing.”
Thelma Reacts to Faith’s Disqualification
Meanwhile, ex-housemate Thelma shared her thoughts on the shocking disqualification of Faith, who was sent packing during the show’s final week following an altercation with Sultana. Her comments stirred mixed reactions online, as fans debated whether Biggie’s decision was justified.
Regardless of the controversies, one thing is clear — BBNaija 2025 ended on a stylish, nostalgic, and conversation-sparking note. Ebuka once again proved why he’s not only Nigeria’s most charismatic host but also one of the country’s leading style icons.
