BBNaija season 9 winner to walk away with N100 million: Organisers
Popular reality TV show, Big Brother Naija, is back for season nine as the winner for this year’s edition will walk away with a grand prize of N100 million and a new SUV.
Busola Tejumola, the executive head of Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice, disclosed at a news conference on Tuesday in Lagos that the show would begin July 28.
According to Tejumola, this year’s edition, which will run for 71 days, promises to be exciting and drama-filled.
“The show will run from July 28 to October 6,” said Tejumola. “The challenging aspect of the show will be that the housemates will be going into the house in pairs and doing some of the house challenges in pairs.”
“Everyone curious about the theme should watch out for the premiere on Sunday, July 28. The show holds lots of fun, vibes, emotion, drama, dynamics and intriguing twists,” she said.
She added that the Big Brother Naija Buzz, to be anchored by Toke Makinwa, would be available for lovers of the show to catch up with the behind-the-scenes.
“There will be something that would be unravelled from the night of the premiere. We will not be having the head-of-house challenge as usual; there will be lots of twists from Big Brother.
“The pool party and the Saturday night party will hold, and the show will air 24 hours,” she said.
Also, Tope Oshunkeye, the company’s head of marketing, unveiled some of the lucky games that would run in the course of the show.
He said one of the games, “Lock-in”, would allow viewers to predict winners of the immunity challenge as each viewer with a correct prediction would get N1 million each.
Oshunkeye noted that viewers from the show’s last edition got N120 million reward.
