One of Africa’s biggest reality TV shows, Big Brother Naija, is set to return to screens across Nigeria as excitement builds.
The show organisers, Multichoice, recently held a press briefing to educate the BBNaija fans on what to expect for the 2024 edition, season 9.
According to John Ugbe, CEO of Multichoice Nigeria, this year’s show is set to shatter the ceilings with numerous twists and drama.
He revealed that housemates will be coming on the show this year as a pair, but only one person will win the prize money and other gifts, including N100m and an SUV car.
Important Details about BBNaija 2024
Unlike previous seasons, housemates will enter Biggie’s house this year and face challenges as a team or a couple.
The Big Brother Naija season 9 will run for 71 days, after which a winner will emerge. John Ugbe also noted that there would be no camera time for lackeys or people who spend most of their time sleeping this season.
He noted that in past seasons, the organisers used to try to allocate housemates equal screen time, but this is no longer the case.
Ugbe stated that only active housemates would get ample screen time. The Multichoice boss also insisted that the competition this season would be much more stiffer and fiercer.
