BBNaija Season 9: MultiChoice Unveils Prize Money of ₦100 million

The winner of the 2024 Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality TV season will get ₦100 million, as confirmed by MultiChoice Nigeria.

According to THE MATRIX, this declaration was given on Tuesday during a news conference in Lagos.

The information was revealed by MultiChoice’s Executive Head of Content for West Africa Channels, Busola Tejumola. She said that the new season will debut on Sunday, July 28 at 7 PM WAT and air on all Africa Magic channels.

This year’s prize amount is ₦20 million less than the ₦120 million awarded in the previous season. In addition to the cash prize, the winner will also receive a brand new SUV.

“After 71 days of intense competition, on October 6, 2024, a total prize of ₦100 million and a new SUV will be awarded,” Tejumola announced.

The decrease in prize money follows Ilebaye Odiniya’s victory, who won ₦120 million during the all-stars season in October 2023.

“This season will introduce new twists and fresh housemates who are set to become fan favorites.

“Viewers can expect surprising twists, dramatic moments, and unexpected alliances throughout the season,” the organizers stated.

Auditions for the ninth season took place from March 27 to May 4, and the organizers have promised a season filled with “double drama, relationships, and fierce competition,” with participants competing in pairs.
