The 9th season of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) kicked off on Sunday.
The show’s regular host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, revealed the theme for this season as “No Loose Guard”.
In an unexpected twist, housemates were being introduced to the House in pairs.
This is a departure from previous seasons where housemates entered the house as individuals.
