According to MultiChoice Nigeria, the 2025 season of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) will start on July 26. The show’s greatest financial reward since its inception in 2006, N150 million, will be awarded to the winner of this season, the organizers announced during a press event on Wednesday.
For the forthcoming season, which will debut with a double premiere on July 26 and 27, media star Ebuka Obi-Uchendu will serve as host once more. Ebuka gave a speech at the ceremony and provided some statistics regarding the show’s current status.
He claims that during the course of nine seasons and 709 days of broadcasting, BBNaija has featured 197 housemates.
The media personality noted that since its inception, winners have received a total of N637 million in prize money.
He also reflected on last year’s season, themed ‘No Loose Guard,’ where contestants entered the house in pairs and later competed individually.
That season ended with Kellyrae winning the N100 million grand prize, making him the first married housemate to ever win the show.
For the 2025 edition, the organisers brought back in-person auditions, which took place from May 16 to 18.
