The long-awaited eighth edition of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) has kicked off with a bang, promising an enthralling and captivating experience for viewers and fans alike. This season, billed as the “BBN All Stars” edition, features a lineup of 20 housemates handpicked from previous seasons to compete for the ultimate prize.
