Some men wear suits. Ebuka Obi-Uchendu performs them.

For the Big Brother Naija Season 10/10 grand finale, Nigeria’s most dependable style authority didn’t just step out — he strutted in like a man who owns both the stage and the playlist.

Tonight’s look? A love letter to the golden age of Afro-Juju, channeling none other than Sir Shina Peters, the original showman who made sequins, swagger, and rhythm a lifestyle.

Ebuka’s black structured blazer comes alive with bold red-and-white gingham panels slicing across the chest and shoulders — like a sartorial drumbeat keeping time with the finale’s electric energy. The fit? Precision-tailored. The attitude? Unbothered excellence.

He anchors it with high-waisted, wide-leg trousers (because if the silhouette isn’t dramatic, what’s the point?) and cinches everything with a red leather belt sharp enough to lead a band. A black crew-neck tee grounds the look, while glossy red loafers drop the mic on subtlety — a direct nod to Shina Peters’ flamboyant, stage-commanding style.

And, because Ebuka never misses an opportunity to accessorize with authority: oversized brown-tinted sunglasses, a silver chain with a cross pendant, and that signature calm confidence that says, “Yes, I know you paused your TV to screenshot this.”

What makes the look genius is how it manages to remix nostalgia into now — Shinamania reimagined for 2025. It’s Afro-Juju meets afterparty chic; a masterclass in how to pay homage without slipping into costume territory.

So while the rest of us wait with bated breath for the name of the BBNaija Season 10/10 winner, let’s be honest — Ebuka already stole the show. Again.
