Multichoice, the organisers of the reality TV show Big Brother Naija, says over 40,000 people auditioned for the seventh season.
This was disclosed by the Executive Head, Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice Nigeria, Dr Busola Tejumola.
She noted this season’s incoming housemates will undergo a phycology evaluation before they come into the house.
Some of the other exciting things to expect this season are the pre-COVID elements, including the Ninjas and the exciting live audience. Also, this year’s winner will be walking home with a ₦100 Million grand prize – a cash prize of 50 Million Naira and 50 Million Naira worth of prizes from the sponsors. In addition, 30 fans of the show will also win 1 million Naira each in the Fave Lock-In promo exclusive to DStv & GOtv customers.
The show will retain its voting style from last year. Voting will only be on the Big Brother Naija website, mobile site, and the MyDStv and MyGOtv apps for active customers. The number of votes each subscriber will have will be determined by their subscription packages, with DStv Premium and GOtv SUPA subscribers receiving the most votes.
BBNaija season 7 has Piggyvest and Flutterwave as headline and associate sponsors respectively. Fans can also expect a line-up of more engaging tasks, unpredictable twists and Big Brother’s wit.
DStv customers who would like to opt out of viewing the show can do so by sending “Smart card number [space] BBOUT” to 30333, while GOtv customers can do the same by sending “IUC Number [space] BBOUT” to 4688.
