The countdown to the seventh season of Big Brother Naija ends today when Ebuka Obi-Uchendu declares the new season open at around 7 p.m. (WAT), Charmingpro reports
This will be the seventh season, and like previous seasons, it promises to be full of love triangles, heated exchanges, shocking evictions, and fierce competition for N100 million in prizes.
During the build-up to the new edition, the organizers treated fans to an exclusive Shine Ya Eye reunion show.
The reunion took fans and viewers alike down memory lane, whetting their appetites for the upcoming season.
Some housemates had returned with various agendas, such as cleaning up their image, clearing the air on certain perceptions, and spilling dirt on others.
This year, as in previous seasons, there will be two launch shows, the first on Saturday, July 23, and the second on Sunday, July 24, 2022.
There would also be no SMS voting, as well as the return of the ‘fan-favorite ‘Ninjas’ and a live studio audience.
Previously, fans of various housemates were invited to the live eviction show on Sundays, and ‘Ninjas’ were used to help with tasks, but this was discontinued due to COVID-19 restrictions.
The grand prize for the new season, dubbed “The Only Way Up,” is N100 million, the largest in a single reality TV show reward on the African continent.
Thirty lucky fans will also win N1 million each in the Fave Lock-In promo, which is only available to DStv and GOtv subscribers.
Ebuka will host the show, while Toke Makinwa will anchor the Buzz, an exclusive talk show about the house’s various activities.
