The Big Brother Naija show houses 20 individuals of equal opposite sexes for 90 days in a social experiment for viewers to see how they live without access to the media, mobile devices and the outside world, while rewarding the winner with cash and gift prizes at the end.
This year’s edition, however, is billed to run for 71 days as a result of limitations designed by the Coronavirus pandemic.
