The countdown to the seventh season of the Big Brother Naija show ends today as, at about 7pm (WAT), Ebuka Obi-Uchendu will declare open the new season.

This will be the seventh edition and like previous instalments, this season promises to be full of love triangles, heated exchanges, shock evictions and intense competition to win N100 million worth of prizes.

Just like the last seasons, this year’s will be double launch shows; the first on Saturday, 23 July and the second on Sunday, 24 July 2022.

However, the organizers announced that there would be no SMS voting and there would be a return of the ‘fan-favourite ‘Ninjas’ and a live studio audience.

In past editions, fans of different housemates were invited to the live eviction show on Sundays and ‘Ninjas’ were used to facilitate tasks but that was halted due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The grand prize for the new season tagged ‘The only way up’ is N100 million worth of prizes, the biggest in a single reality TV show reward on the continent.

Also, thirty lucky fans will also win N1 million each in the Fave Lock-In promo exclusive to DStv and GOtv customers.

Ebuka will host the show while Toke Makinwa will anchor the Buzz, an exclusive talk show on the various activities that will take place in the house.
