Showmax has unleased Bae Beyond Borders, a dating show featuring four South African women and 12 Nigerian men looking for love.
Some of the Nigerian suitors include Big Brother Naija alumnus Eric Oshiokhai, and they have described South African women as “very sexy, driven, and good to build with’, because “they bring peace”.
Bae Beyond Borders follows four South African women in search of love, the Naija way.
In the first phase of the show, each woman will have dates with all 12 Nigerian suitors. After that, the bachelorettes will collectively narrow down the men from 12 to four.
Move to Cape Town
After each lady has picked their bae, the pair will move to Cape Town to live in a gorgeous villa to test if their cross-cultural relationship works beyond the borders.
Twenty-seven-year-old fitness influencer, model and actor Oshiokhai is no stranger to the spotlight, having made his reality television debut on the lockdown season of Big Brother Naija.
“It’s high time I waltz into a commitment. I’ve been dancing in the streets, and now I’m ready for something real,” said Oshiokhai.
“South African ladies bring the sizzle that I crave. That’s exactly what I’m after, they are very sexy and driven.”
