MultiChoice Nigeria has confirmed that the highly anticipated 10th season of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) will premiere on July 26.
During a press briefing on Wednesday, the organisers also revealed that this year’s winner will take home a staggering N150 million — the highest grand prize in the show’s history since its debut in 2006.
Ebuka Obi-Uchendu will be returning as the host of the 2025 reality TV show.
This year’s edition of the reality show kicks off with a double premiere on July 26 and 27.
At the event, host Ebuka revealed that Big Brother Naija has featured 197 housemates across its nine seasons.
He also shared that the show has aired for 709 days in total, with a combined prize pool of N637 million awarded to winners so far.
For the ‘No Loose Guard’ season in 2024, contestants were required to audition in pairs and entered the show as duos before they were eventually unpaired to compete individually.
At the end of the season, Kellyrae defeated other housemates to win the grand prize of N100 million.
The feat also saw him become the first married person to win the show.
For this year’s edition, the organisers brought back the physical auditions, which were held between May 16 and 18.
