This season, Big Brother is ceding more power to fans with introduction of the tiered voting system, which gives GOtv and DStv subscribers an edge and more votes to keep their favourite BBNaija housemates.

According to the organizers, this season’s winner will walk away with N85 million.

The breakdown of the grand prize for BBNaija season five include N30 million cash prize; a two-bedroom apartment courtesy Revolution Plus; a top of the range SUV from Nigerian automaker, Innoson Motors; a trip to Dublin courtesy Guinness; home appliances courtesy Scanfrost.

Others are a trip to Dubai packaged by Travelbeta; a year’s supply of Indomie noodles, Munch it and Colgate toothpaste; a year’s supply of Pepsi, a branded chiller, trip to watch the UEFA Champions League finale and a brand new Oppo mobile smartphone.

Last year’s winner, Mercy Eke, won N30m as well as other mouth-watering gifts.

According to the Chief Executive Officer, MultiChoice Nigeria, John Ugbe, the fifth season marks a major milestone in the reality TV series.

“We are making this season significant by not only increasing the winnings but also implementing other creative and innovative ways to ensure the show lives up to the premium entertainment, especially during the current pandemic.”

The organisers said they were taking measures to keep the housemates safe and coronavirus free.

In addition to the thorough health screenings, they would also regularly disinfect the house during the course of the show.
