Some of the new things Biggie has introduced include putting all the #BBNaija Lockdown Housemates for Eviction except for the Head of House and Deputy Head of House as well as increased voting power for those who are premium subscribers.

The second Live Show of Big Brother Naija season 5 brought with it twists that will no doubt impact the dynamics of the show.

HoH and Deputy HoH immune to Eviction

Ebuka announced a new twist in the Monday Head of House games brought about by Biggie in this Lockdown season. All Housemates, except Head of House and Deputy Head of House, will be up for Nomination and therefore possible Eviction each week.

If ever there was a time to get your votes in for your favourite this is it!

A live Eviction every Sunday

There will also be a Live Eviction by Housemates every Sunday in the coming weeks of the show. Housemates will each take turns to Nominate one of the bottom four Housemates with the lowest votes in the Diary Room. The Housemate who has the most Nominations will then be the one who gets Evicted. For the very first in the show, Housemates will be the ones that choose who goes home!

The higher the package, the more the votes!

For the first time since the inception of the show, Big Brother Naija fans are afforded more votes depending on the package that they are on.

More votes for your favourite BBNaija Housemate

DStv and GOtv are giving you more votes to help you ensure your favourite BBNaija HM stays in the House.

We’re back with another exciting addition to this year’s Big Brother Naija. This time, Biggie’s giving DStv and GOtv fans more power to keep their faves in the house, with tiered voting.

So, here is how it plays out:
All active subscribers on DStv or GOtv, have votes for each round based on their subscription package, the higher the package, the more votes they have.

Voting begins on 27th July. Customers are free to cast their votes within the days the vote round is active (4days – Mondays to Thursdays) until they reach their limit.
