The organisers of the reality TV show, Big Brother Naija, have announced that Season 7 will begin on July 23 and 24 respectively.
This was unveiled to the media on Tuesday in Lagos.
The shows will air from 7pm on DStv channel 198 and GOtv channel 29, with a simulcast on African Magic Showcase, Africa Magic Urban and Africa Magic Family.
The housemates will compete to win the grand prize of N100 worth of cash and prizes.
Speaking at the show’s premiere, the Executive Head of Content & West Africa Channels, Multichoice Group, Busola Tejumola, said they received over 40,000 entries for the audition and they worked tirelessly with the support of mental health officials and psychologists to select the best-suited housemates.
Mrs Tejumola said BBNaija is staying true to its reputation by having the biggest cash prize for a reality show.
The winner gets N50 million cash prize and other exciting prizes.
For the seventh season, the show will witness a return of a few pre-COVID 19 elements, including the fan-favourite ‘Ninjas’ and a live studio audience.
Fans can also expect a line-up of more engaging tasks, unpredictable twists and Big Brother’s wit.
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 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.
As in the previous season, voting will be on the Big Brother Naija website, mobile site and the MyDStv and MyGOtv apps for active customers.
There will, however, be no SMS mode of voting.
The headline sponsor for this year’s season is Pocket by Piggyvest.
The 72-day reality show will also see the return of the famous BBNaija Ninjas, a live studio audience on the live eviction shows.
