Once again, Big Brother Naija, Africa’s popular reality TV show, is set to return for a fourth season with the Big Brother House in Nigeria. According to the producers of the show, auditions will hold from February 1-2, 2019 in eight locations across Nigeria, an increase from previous editions.

In addition, Bet9ja, Nigeria’s number one betting website, has been announced as headline sponsors of the new season.

The reality TV show, which follows the format of the international Big Brother franchise is known to bring excitement and entertainment to fans and viewers across the continent as it houses strangers over a period of three months who contest against each other in a battle of wits for the ultimate prize.

Speaking at a media parley held recently to unveil the new edition, Ayo Ojuroye, CEO, Bet9ja, said: “As the leading gaming company in Nigeria, we believe in changing lives. This singular attribute coupled with the zeal and passion attributed to the Big Brother Naija platform aligns with Bet9ja’s core values and we are honoured by the opportunity to headline this year’s edition.
