She added that this season’s housemates will undergo a psychological evaluation before going into the house.
Tejunmola also stated that fans of the show will enjoy this season more because several pre-COVID elements such as the ninjas and the exciting live audience will return.
BBNaija lovers can also expect a line-up of more engaging tasks, unpredictable twists and Big Brother’s wit.
In addition, this year’s winner will walk away with N100m grand prize— a cash prize of N50m and N50m worth of prizes from the sponsors, while 30 DStv and GOtv customers will win N1m each in the ‘Fave Lock-In’ promo.
According to her, the show will retain the polling system from last year, meaning 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.
