BBNaija Opens With a Twist

The most talked-about reality show in Africa is back on our screens again with the theme 10/10 and this time, Big Brother Naija isn’t playing games. Just when viewers were expecting the usual  housemates rollout, Big Brother flipped the script.
On Saturday, 15 female housemates were introduced with no men in sight. Then on Sunday, just as fans were beginning to pick their favourites, the male housemates made their surprise entrance.
Now that the full cast is in play, unless Big Brother has another surprise up his sleeves, it’s time to dive into who’s who inside the house.
