The First Lady of Sierra Leone, and President of the Organisation of African First Ladies for Development (OAFLAD), Dr. Fatima Maada Bio has said the theme for Housemates Salone Season 4: ‘Clean Game’, resonates deeply with societal expectations of values and morals, particularly for the young generation who look up to housemates as role models.
Dr. Bio said, “I joined the management of AYV, Africell, and Chapter One to officially launch the Housemate Salone Season 4, 2025. The launch event was a testament to the power of unity and social cohesion, bringing together a galaxy of prominent figures from both the ruling and opposition parties, business leaders, and models. The excitement was palpable as guests gathered to witness the kick-off of this year’s instalment. What’s more, this Season promises to be life-changing, with the winner set to take home a staggering one billion old leones”.
The first lady went on to say the anticipation is building, and it will be fascinating to see who will emerge victorious.
She praised AYV’s CEO Amb. Anthony Navo Jr., and Africell’s CEO Mr. Shadi Gerjawi for haven worked tirelessly to ensure Sierra Leone is promoted globally. “You two have been phenomenal contributors to Sierra Leone’s development. If Hands Off Our Girls could succeed today, it was because of your supports”, she stated, while calling on the young people who will be entering the House to use the opportunity to showcase their talent to the world and transform themselves.
She further praised AYV and Africell for thinking of competing with Big Brother Naija in this Season of the Show, referring to the move as a good one for Sierra Leone on the global entertainment stage.
