BBNaija : DStv, GOtv Subscribers Can Vote Online for One More Housemate

MultiChoice Nigeria has announced the commencement of online voting for its BBNaija online auditions, which held from 25th to 27th February. Contestants were expected to record a two-minute video of themselves stating why they should be picked to become housemates in this year’s Big Brother Naija.

The online auditions were an unprecedented move by MultiChoice Nigeria and a way of giving voice to the audience, giving them the power to vote a Housemate into the House.

Ten contestants were selected from the online auditions and the voting portal (https://africamagic.dstv.com/show/big-brother-nigeria/audition) opened on Thursday and DStv and GOtv subscribers can vote daily for the personality they would like to see in the house from March 21 - March 31 2019.

Voting is open to only active DStv and GOtv subscribers and official voting rules apply. Subscribers may vote in 10 voting round(s) across the Voting Period. Voting rounds are open from 9am to 11pm on March 21 and from midnight to 11pm from March 22nd to March 31st.

To vote, simply register on https://africamagic.dstv.com/show/big-brother-nigeria/audition using your Twitter of Facebook username, enter your smartcard, phone number, and accept the official voting rules. Once that is done, a voter will be taken to the audition page where to meet the 10 candidates. The voter can then select the preferred candidate and will receive a verification message.

MultiChoice Nigeria CEO, John Ugbe believes that the online auditions democratise the BBNaija process.  “The online auditions are a way of involving our subscribers in the decision-making process of who gets to go into the house. They are the reason the show remains popular, always rooting for their favourite Housemates. Also, just thinking about the people who turned up for the physical auditions, we thought to give them another opportunity.

Big Brother is a fun show and rejigging things a little bit shows that there is no predetermined script even though it continues to follow the international format,” he said.

Subscribers on the different bouquets are allowed to vote for one contestant in every voting round. On verification of the subscriber's package, the contestant will be allocated points, which will contribute to the contestants final score.

The premium bouquet carries 100 points, 75 points for Compact+, 50 points for Compact, 25 and 10 points for Family and Access bouquets. For GOtv subscribers, GOtv Max carries 25 points, while GOtv Plus carries 10 points.

Voters are assured that all votes will be duly compiled and verified with a reputable audit firm to determine the final contestant for the show.

This year’s edition is sponsored by Bet9ja.

No 'Shower Hour' On Big Brother Naija - Says MultiChoice

As preparations are in top gear for the second edition of social reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria, organisers have revealed that there will be no broadcast of nude footage called ‘Shower Hour’, when the show returns on January 22, 2017. This comes to some fans as ‘decent’, following the controversies generated by that segment of the show, during the now rested continental edition, Big Brother Africa (BBA). MultiChoice is bringing back the Nigerian version of the series after 10 years. It had announced after the last edition of BBA that each African country will stage the show henceforth. Renamed Big Brother Naija, the show will have 12 housemates who will compete for the prize of N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car. Sponsored by PayPorte, the program will run for 78 days, starting 22 January 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised launch and end on 9 April 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised finale.

The Weird BBNaija All-Stars Parrot Come Alive Tonight!

When the Big Brother Naija All-Stars house first opened on July 23, the curious eyes of fans picked up on the parrot. It wasn’t just that it seemed out of place; it was also a little weird and didn’t match the decor.

Those who guessed that it had some relevance we must pay attention to were correct. A little secret you should know first - the parrot is an all-hearing one, and it will spill all the secrets it's heard at 9 pm today. It’s about to be pure mayhem, and we are here for it! For the past two weeks, the parrot has carefully listened to all the drama and gossip in the house, and it is time for the parrot to do what parrots know how to do best, gossip. Big Brother will bring the parrot to life for the first time today, Friday, August 4, at 9 pm, and you best believe the drama is about to go up a notch higher.
