The recent announcement by MultiChoice Nigeria on Friday, July 14, about the upcoming eighth season of Big Brother Naija being an all-star lineup has sparked a wave of speculation. While the exact identities of the featured stars remain undisclosed, fans are left wondering who will make the cut when the show premieres on Sunday, July 23.

Will the show exclusively feature winners of previous editions? If that should be the case, then the number of participants will not be enough as the number of contestants is usually in two digits and exceeds 10.

Should other contestants who gained popularity despite not winning the prize be considered, will disqualified housemates be among the housemates? Last year’s edition saw one of the housemates Beauty disqualified. Other disqualified housemates from previous editions include Erica, Kemen and Tacha.

Another possibility is having a mix of celebrity superstars and past winners.

With hopes of surprising and delighting their loyal audience, the show aims to surpass expectations and provide an exhilarating experience.

To elevate the excitement, this season offers an astounding N120 million cash prize to the ultimate winner, in addition to other valuable rewards. Last year, Phyna emerged victorious, walking away with the coveted N100 million grand prize.

While the show’s format remains intact, a few intriguing twists have been introduced. Housemates will embark on a 70-day journey, culminating on Nigeria’s Independence Day, October 1, making the season even more significant.
