IK Osakioduwa is an Economics graduate from the University of Lagos who began his broadcast career as ‘Wild Child' on Nigerian radio station Rhythm FM 93.7, after which he moved into television. A presenter on M-Net's Studio 53, he has also helmed two other M-Net productions in Nigeria; the game show, Temptation Nigeria and the stand-up comedy series, Comedy Club: Live in Lagos.

“I've been speaking with some people involved with the production and I think it's safe to say that a lot of thought has been put into improving everything that has been done before. We see a reflection of that in the increased prize money. I also think there will probably even be more drama in this edition too because the stakes are higher. Not to mention that there are more countries,” says Osakioduwa.

The series has also launched a newly designed Big Brother Revolution logo. The BBA 'eye' is etched into a stone wall, with a graffiti-themed edge and a blueprint of the Big Brother house imprinted above the eye.
