Key Points
- Ebuka nods to Shina Peters with a sharp remake. He says the legend still sets parties off.
- Atafo crafts the suit with crisp lines and soft drape. Theoladayo frames clean shots for the reveal.
- Finale mood gets a rich dose of pop culture. Fans hail the fit as brave and true.
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu opened the 10 over 10 finale in a look with a story. He said the outfit drew from Afro-Juju icon Sir Shina Peters. “From his breakthrough album Ace in 1989… his music still remains a party starter,” @ebuka wrote. The host paired a check-paneled jacket with pleated trousers and a red belt.
The fit was a full remake by @atafo__. The blazer carried red gingham blocks across the chest and sides. The pants fell with an easy drop and deep pleats. A slim cross chain, dark tee, and tinted frames kept the tone sleek.
Photographer @theoladayo shot the images for the reveal. Diamonds came from @akano_diamonds. Shoes and belt were by @pecyugo__. The credits matched the scale of the night. The mood felt bold yet warm, like an old hit played fresh.
The style call also fits the season’s arc. BBNaija 10 has leaned on culture notes each week. Trends have been tight all round the continent. Earlier this week, Imisi led the social charts across Africa. See our wrap on the week nine trend chart.
Sir Shina Peters shaped a whole dance age with Ace. “Shinamania” ruled clubs and street shows in the early 90s. Ebuka’s tribute tapped that same feel. The checks, the flow, the stance, all called back to the star’s cover art. Yet the tailoring stayed modern and clean.
Fans praised the risk and the craft. Many called it a smart close to the season. It also came after a tense build-up to tonight. The house saw tough calls and loud talks this week. Faith’s disqualification set off strong debates among viewers. Catch our full explainer on the Faith disqualification decision timeline.
Meanwhile, the finale race is still wide open. The host’s look adds colour to the last show. It links old sounds to a new TV moment. For fans, the style sets the right tone for a big night.
