Big Brother Naija might be over, but the personalities that kept fans glued to their screens are still living rent-free in our heads. And if you’ve ever wondered which Mpali characters these fiery housemates remind us of, we’ve done the fun matchmaking for you. Ready? Let’s cross over from Biggie’s house to the Nguzu farm!
Imisi – The Shupiwe of BBNaija!
Imisi is that unfiltered, hilarious, “I-said-what-I-said” kind of woman. Just like Mpali’s Shupiwe, she doesn’t need a script to steal the spotlight. Both have a knack for saying what everyone’s thinking but with a twist of comedy that keeps fans rooting for them. Imagine a Shupiwe-Imisi diary session? Chaos and laughter guaranteed!
Faith – The Frank of the House
Every house needs a commander, and Faith ruled with an iron fist and heart. Much like Mpali’s Frank, he’s strategic, magnetic, and somehow makes discipline look sexy. Both men have that “don’t play with me, but I’ll still protect you” vibe. You may not always agree with them, but you’ll always respect them.
Sultana – Monde's Long-Lost Cousin
Soft-spoken yet spicy, Sultana gives off major Prisca energy, the kind that’s sweet until she’s not. Both are quick-witted, gossip-prone, and know how to flip the script when least expected. The girl-next-door charm mixed with a hint of drama? Chef’s kiss.
Dede – Chola Energy, 100%!
Dede’s unapologetic flair and love for the spotlight scream Chola. Both women know their worth, own every room they walk into, and don’t flinch when the heat’s on. They’re queens who don’t chase attention… Attention chases them.
Kola – The Calm Storm, Just Like Alexander
Elegant, emotionally aware, and too smooth for drama. Kola and Shadreck are cut from the same cloth. They both carry that quiet intensity that makes people listen when they speak.
Zita – Tamara with a BBNaija Twist
Stylish, talkative, and unpredictable, Zita mirrors Mpali’s Tamara. Both radiate boss energy: soft when they want, savage when they need.
If the Mpali cast entered the BBNaija house, who’d win Head of House or give Imisi the run for her money?
Watch all the Mpali drama unfold on Zambezi Magic Thursday and Friday at 20:00, on DStv Channel 162 and GOtv Channel 3. Stream anytime on DStv Stream and GOtv Stream.
