BBNaija Season 11 Premieres With N160m Prize (Full List of Housemates)

Big Brother Naija reality show, BBNaija, has officially unveiled the first set of Season 11 housemates.

The 2026 edition of the reality show premiered on Sunday evening themed “Everything Is For The Taking”, also known as “Show Ya Sef”, and promises bigger rewards, fresh twists and a redesigned house as contestants battle for the coveted title.

The first set of contestants competing for this year’s record-breaking N160 million grand prize was introduced during the show’s launch by host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

Beyond the contestants, this year’s edition also unveiled a newly redesigned BBNaija house featuring an “upside-down” concept with bold colours and luxury interiors intended to reflect the unpredictable nature of the season.

According to MultiChoice, constructing the house is a months-long undertaking involving concept development, design, sourcing and construction before an empty building is transformed into a fully equipped television production facility.

Located beside the live studio in Lagos, the house is fitted with 52 robotic PTZ cameras, seven handheld cameras, 59 microphones, 36 antenna blades and 19 speakers to enable uninterrupted coverage of activities throughout the season.
