The 2018 edition of Big Brother Naija started quite different from the norm through the pairing of the housemates with strategic partners.

Pairing the housemates meant that two people will suffer the consequences of the actions of one person and vice versa.

Over the course of the 82-day show, viewers witnessed budding romances between Teddy A and BamBam, Lolu and Anto, Nina and Miracle, and Tobi and Cee-C/Alex.

The show also opened doors for evicted housemates like Teddy A, who caught the attention of Iyanya and Rico Swavey who got an investment commitment from IGoDye.

Efe Ejeba won the 2017 edition of the Big Brother Naija show which paved the way for the music career he currently pursues.

The building where the contestants are housed is situated in South Africa.
