The seventh edition of the Big Brother Nigeria (BBNaija) reality TV show is finally here.
The show’s season seven kicks off later today at 7 pm.
TheCable Lifestyle examines all you need to know ahead of the commencement of the much-awaited show.
ASAKE AND VICTONY TO PERFORM
Fast-rising singers Asake and Victony are among those who will thrill the live audience and fans with their performances.
DOUBLE PREMIERE — HOW TO WATCH IT
The reality show will premiere with two opening ceremonies on Saturday (today) and Sunday.
It will air from 7 pm on DStv channel 198 and GOtv channel 29 with a simulcast on Africa Magic Showcase, Africa Magic Urban, and Africa Magic Family.
The show will run for 72 days and end on October 2, 2022.
This will be the second time the show will be opening with two premieres; last season was the first.
N100 MILLION GRAND PRIZE
The winner of the show this year will get a grand prize of N100 million.
According to the organisers, N50 million is the cash prize while the other N50 million is an estimation of prizes from the sponsors.
This makes it the highest grand prize a winner of the reality show will be receiving — since the BBNaija debuted in 2006
EBUKA RETURNS AS HOST — AGAIN!
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has no doubt become an integral part of the show since he hosted it in 2017.
The lawyer returns as the host again for the 2022 edition — making it his sixth consecutive year anchoring the reality TV show.
Ebuka participated in BBNaija’s debut season in 2006 and has since etched his name on the hearts of the show’s lovers.
THIRTY FANS TO WIN 1 MILLION EACH
Multichoice had earlier announced that 30 fans will win N1 million each in the Fave Lock-In promo exclusive to DStv and GOtv customers.
THE ‘NINJAS’ ARE BACK
Ahead of the show’s premiere today, fans will also be looking forward to the return of in-house guides popularly known as “Ninjas”.
The organisers had excluded the “Ninjas” from the last two editions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Fans have since taken to social media to talk about their expectations for the show’s seventh edition.
Here’s what some of them had to say:
Another BBNaija starts tomorrow. All I’m begging Biggie to do is to at least bring one trenches DJ to one of the Saturday night parties. The likes of DJ YK mule, DJ chicken, DJ 4kerty and so on… 🙏🏽
