Music acts, Iyanya and Praiz also registered their presence alongside Big Brother Naija’s ex-housemate, Gifty and On Air Personality Olisa Adibua.

Nedu aka, Nkechi, aka Thunder who was the host of the show also let off some steam with his act while guests were also treated to a video reel of some popular old and new comedy skits, showcasing the development.
