The ninth season of Big Brother Naija (#BBNaija), one of Nigeria’s most popular entertainment reality television series, will premiere today, welcoming new housemates.

The program will resume with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu hosting at 7 p.m. Nigerian time today.

Although the show’s organizers promise surprises and fresh perspectives, it’s been inferred that this season will feature intriguing partnerships.

DJ Flo and Rhuthee, aka Flourish, were the third couple to enter the BBNaija home. The fourth couple to enter the house are (Ndi Nne) Chinne and Nne, who arrived as an aunt and niece. Aces Topher and Sooj are the fifth pair.

Chinwe and Zion (Zinwe) are the first couple inside the residence. Michael and Femi David of the Radicals came after them.

The crowd is electrified by Nigerian musician Waje’s performance following the reveal of the season 9 house design.

“No Loose Guard” is the theme for Big Brother Naija season nine, it has been confirmed.
