Big Brother NaijaBig Brother Naija Returns is officially making its return, and fans across Nigeria and beyond are already buzzing with anticipation. Known for its high drama, intense competitions, and unforgettable housemates, the show is set to dominate screens once again for a thrilling three-month run.
Multichoice Nigeria, in partnership with Africa Magic, continues to helm the reality series. The show is expected to be hosted once again by the ever-stylish Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, who has become a staple of BBNaija’s live eviction nights. Major Nigerian brands are lining up as sponsors, confirming the show’s impact on both entertainment and advertising industries.What’s the Show About?
Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) places a group of housemates in a custom-built house, completely cut off from the outside world, where they compete in challenges, navigate relationships, and face weekly evictions—all while being watched 24/7 by viewers. At the end of the season, the last housemate standing walks away with millions in cash and prizes.
While the exact date hasn’t been announced, BBNaija usually premieres between late July and early August. Once the show begins, viewers can expect 72 days of non-stop content, with weekly live shows, diary sessions, parties, and shocking evictions.
The show will be broadcast live on DStv and GOtv, with highlight clips and exclusive content available via Showmax for viewers in Nigeria and internationally. Social media platforms like Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram will also light up with real-time reactions and trending moments.
Since its return in 2017, Big Brother Naija has become more than just a show—it’s a national obsession. It provides:
A platform for undiscovered talent
Daily content that sparks online debates and memes
Life-changing career and brand opportunities for housemates
Past housemates like Mercy Eke, Laycon, and Whitemoney have gone on to become influencers, entrepreneurs, and celebrities.
Big Brother Nigeria made its debut in 2006, crowning Katung Aduwak as its first winner. After an 11-year break, it returned in 2017 with Efe Ejeba, reigniting interest across Africa.

2018: Miracle (Winner)
2019: Mercy Eke (First female winner)
2020: Laycon (Rapper and fan favorite)
2021: Whitemoney (Loved for his kitchen skills and humility)

Expectations are high. Fans are calling for:
Authentic personalities, not just “vibes”
Housemates with real talent
Better voting systems and fewer scripted twists
Parties, drama, romance, and shocking exits
“We want gbas gbos and premium content!” one fan tweeted.
Another said, “Biggie, bring back real housemates—not influencers pretending to be broke!”
