Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) season 6 will be starting soon and the organisers, Multichoice Nigeria, has given an update on the starting date, grand prize and the new system of voting.
The organisers, at a press conference on Monday, stated that the housemates in this year’s edition of the show have already been selected, tested and quarantined.
Starting Date
The Big Brother Naija reality TV show, Season 6, will start on July 24, 2021. Housemates will be unveiled and welcomed into the BBNaija House for 72-days stay and that the show will end on October 3, 2021.
The BBNaija show will feature a special double launch show on July 24 and 25, respectively.
Both shows will air from 7 pm on DStv channel 198 and GOtv channel 29, with a simulcast on Africa Magic Showcase, Africa Magic Urban and Africa Magic Family.
Grand Prize
The winner of the contest will be given N90 million, the highest in the show’s history.
