If there’s one thing that unites Nigerians across regions, it’s food—and at the heart of this unity is Golden Penny Semovita, fondly called “My Soup’s First Choice.” Last night, the iconic brand stole the spotlight during the 9th brand task of the Big Brother Naija 10/10 Reality Show, bringing flavour, culture, and excitement straight into Biggie’s house.
For over 60 years, Golden Penny Semovita has nourished families and stood as more than just a meal. It has become a proud cultural symbol of versatility and unity—crossing ethnic, religious, and generational boundaries. Its presence in the BBNaija task was not just about food but about celebrating the rich tapestry of Nigerian heritage.
A Night of Culture, Food, and Fun
The event wasn’t just another BBNaija challenge—it was a vibrant celebration of Nigeria’s culinary heritage. With colourful traditional attire, regional music, and a lively atmosphere, the housemates brought the beauty of Nigeria’s culture to life while reinforcing Golden Penny Semovita’s reputation as the undisputed king of soups.
The Three Exciting Stages of the Task
Housemates were divided into four regional teams North, South, East, and West and competed in three engaging rounds:
1. Path to the Pot (Snakes & Ladders Challenge)
A life-sized board game where teams advanced through cultural milestones—from cowries to snacks at the Golden Penny Semovita marketplace. The goal? Reach the pot first and secure victory.
2. Cooking Competition – The Main Highlight
The spotlight shone brightest here. Each team prepared a regional delicacy paired with Golden Penny Semovita:
- Afang Soup (South)
- Efo Riro (West)
- Miyan Kuka (North)
- Egusi Soup (East)
Judges scored based on taste, presentation, and creativity, proving once again why Semovita is the go-to partner for Nigeria’s most loved soups.
3. Drama Presentation
Housemates staged short plays celebrating their regional culture, cleverly weaving in Golden Penny Semovita as the ultimate meal companion for every Nigerian household.
And the Winners Were…
After three thrilling rounds, Team West (Big Soso, Isabella, Mensan, Bright, Koyin, and Ivatar) emerged as champions. Their teamwork, flawless execution, and cultural flair won them the highest points across the board.
But the real winner? Golden Penny Semovita. The challenge wasn’t just about competition, it was proof that Semovita is more than food; it’s a unifier, bringing Nigerians together in moments of celebration, creativity, and everyday dining.
Why Golden Penny Semovita Stands Out
- Over 60 years of trust in Nigerian kitchens
- Smooth, lump-free texture that pairs perfectly with any soup
- A symbol of unity and tradition, celebrated across all regions
From BBNaija’s spotlight to family dining tables, Golden Penny Semovita remains Nigeria’s number one choice for soups.
Golden Penny Semovita’s presence in BBNaija’s 9th brand task wasn’t just an endorsement, it was a reminder of how food brings us together. Whether it’s Afang, Egusi, Miyan Kuka, or Efo Riro, one thing is certain: every soup tastes better with Golden Penny Semovita.
