The 2024 edition of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) just concluded on October 6, 2024, after 71 days of intense competition. The ninth season, themed “No Loose Guard,” kicked off on July 28, 2024, with 14 pairs of housemates, a fresh twist compared to previous seasons. As the show progressed, the housemates were unpaired, leaving each contestant to navigate the game on their own.
The format for this season retained some of the show’s most loved features, such as weekly nomination shows, eviction nights, and tasks like the Thursday Arena Games and the Friday Wager Challenges, which created plenty of tension and excitement. The Saturday Night Gbedu parties remained a highlight, where housemates could relax and entertain viewers with their interactions.
As the season unfolded, the eviction process saw several housemates leave, narrowing the competition to the final eight by the last week. These finalists—Kellyrae, Ozee, Sooj, Wanni, Nelly, Anita, Onyeka, and Victoria—battled it out for the N100 million prize. Kellyrae emerged as a strong contender, especially after the surprise eviction of his wife, which fueled the “The Money is Married” slogan circulating on social media.
The grand finale on October 6 featured exciting performances, interviews, and finally, the much-anticipated announcement of the winner, who walked away with the grand prize of N100 million and an SUV. This season of BBNaija successfully maintained its position as one of Nigeria’s most-watched and talked-about reality TV shows, keeping fans engaged from start to finish.
