Ebuka Obi-Uchendu showcases Nigerian craftsmanship at BBNaija finale

Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, host of the Big Brother Naija Season 11 grand finale, showcased Nigerian craftsmanship through a custom Atafo ensemble. His second look for the event featured a floor-length black woven coat made from hand-woven Aso-Oke or Akwete fabric.

The coat included wide kimono-style sleeves and metallic green, burnt orange, and silver stripes across the lapels and back, complemented by thick black fringe on the rear yoke and hem. Obi-Uchendu paired the coat with a black base, a webbed coral bead torso piece, and multiple strands of coral beads around his neck.

To complete the cultural aesthetic, he wore a black fedora decorated with tubular red coral beads, dark-tinted aviator sunglasses, and black velvet loafers with bow details. The fashion presentation took place against the backdrop of an aircraft hangar during the competition for the N160 million grand prize.
