The winner of season five of Big Brother Naija, BBNaija, will be walking home with a sum of N30m as cash prize, a home and one special utility vehicle amongst other prizes.
This was made known by the reality show organisers, Multichoice Nigeria, a few days ahead of the commencement.
With the countdown to the popular reality TV show’s kick off, MultiChoice Nigeria revealed that the 2020 winner will walk away with a grand prize of N85m.
The grand prize includes: a N30m 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; 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 and a trip to watch the UEFA Champions League finale; and a brand new Oppo mobile smartphone.
The sum of the grand prize was earlier hinted at by one of the company’s top executives, Martin Mabutho, in a recent media session. Mabutho had hinted that this season’s winnings would be the biggest since BBNaija debuted back in 2006.
Speaking on the grand prize, Chief Executive Officer, MultiChoice Nigeria, John Ugbe said: “The fifth season of BBNaija marks a major milestone in the reality TV series.
