    According to the organisers, the 2024 BBNaij promises to be even bigger and better than ever before with several exciting twists and turns.

    Some of the highlights to look out for as the show kicks off with a grand entry on Sunday at 7 pm will be the house, voting power, the housemates, and many more.

    As expected, the Big Brother Naija house is always something to watch out for. Since the theme revolves around partners – double housemates bound by one ticket and opportunity – the house would not be lacking its incredible look and feel. In the house will be the Head of House lounge and Saturday party venue.

    The logo of Season Nine aptly hints at the plan to have two housemates play as a pair for this season.

    With the idea of a double housemate playing the game as one, the power to influence the game will totally lie in the hands of subscribers of DStv and lovers of BBNaija as the voting process will be made more accessible.
