BBNaija 2019 winner will go home with N45million – Multichoice

The winner of the 4th edition of the Big Brother Naija Reality TV show, BBNaija 2019, will walk home with N45million, which is way bigger than what previous winners – Efemoney and Miracle – went home with.

This was revealed by Multichoice’s Chief Customer Officer in Nigeria, Martin Mabutho, who also revealed why the BBNaija 2019 edition is holding in Nigeria instead of South Africa where it normally holds.
Below is an excerpt from the interview with Martin Mabutho concerning BBNaija 2019.
Why did Multichoice decide to bring the show to Nigeria?
It made sense that we bring it here. The first one we did was See Gobe, and Double Wahala last year eclipsed See Gobe …it was completely flawless. Now at that state we said there’s no doubt that bringing the show to Nigeria would be the right decision. It would be worth the investment and it’s exciting for us. Corporate Nigeria and sponsors have latched onto it in a big way so in my view, it’s going to be bigger than all the shows we have ever done.

How is the selection process for housemates carried out?
I’m not on the selection panel but for this year, the mixture of different individuals will determine the final number that will go into the house.
Will the partnership with Bet9ja be a long term deal?
For this season, Bet9ja has an option to renew. We have had different sponsors in the past and it depends on what their priorities for the season are.
Will there ever be a female host?
We had two hosts for the first one Big Brother Nigeria – Michelle Dede and Olisa Adibua. So let’s see what happens with this one.

Will there a bigger prize money this season?
I can put it this way – I can’t say about the prize money but the total value of the grand prize will exceed N45m.
