During a press conference on July 17, Busola Tejumola, Executive Head of Content and West Africa Channels at MultiChoice, revealed that this year’s edition promises to be filled with drama and unique entertainment, running for a total of 71 days until October 6.

In a twist to the game format, housemates will compete in pairs, bringing new dynamics to the challenges.

Her statement read:

“Ninth season of the Big Brother Naija show will be going beyond drama; we will be bringing in different blends of unique entertainment.

“The show will run from July 28 to Oct. 6.

“The challenging aspect of the show will be that the housemates will be going into the house in pairs and doing some of the house challenges in pairs.

“Everyone curious about the theme should watch out for the premiere on Sunday, July 28. The show holds lots of fun, vibes, emotion, drama, dynamics, and intriguing twists.”

She added that the Big Brother Naija Buzz, to be anchored by Toke Makinwa, would be available for lovers of the show to catch up with the behind-the-scenes.

“There will be something that would be unravelled from the night of the premiere.

“We will not be having the head of the house challenge as usual; there will be lots of twists from Big Brother.

“The pool party and the Saturday night party will be held, and the show will air 24 hours,” she added.
