Housemates of the Big Brother Naija (BBN) Season 6 Show, organised by Multichoice Nigeria, are, with no doubt, jostling for the grand prize of a whooping N90 million.
As it stands, the show is now a two-horse race between Whitemoney and Liquorose, due to their large social media followership in the competition.
Liquorose: Roseline Afije, popularly known as Liquorose, has become the first Housemate from the Season 6 of the Big Brother Naija reality TV show ‘Shine Ya Eye’ edition to have over three million followers on Instagram. This follows the rising anxiety and enthusiasm of the Edo State-born girl’s prospects in the Big Brother House.
Of course, the possibility of any Housemate winning the show largely depends on their social media presence, particularly Instagram, and Liquorose appears to be the quickest off the mark in this regard.
Liquorose is also an actress, and a member of the dance group, known as Girls Got Bold (GGB). She has worked with musicians, such as 2Face, Harrysong, Yemi Alade, Patoranking, Timaya, Kizz Daniel, etc. Her group is also the official dancers of the US-based duo, known as Roze.
Whitemoney: Oyeye Onou, also known as Whitemoney, stormed into the Big Brother House as a typical Igbo man, brandishing the culture and style of his people, much to the acclaim of many who lauded his grittiness.
He soon found favour among his fellow Housemates, because of his culinary prowess, and has since won the hearts of many as the ‘realest Nigerian’ in the House.
Whitemoney is well respected by both Housemates and outside viewers for his calm, composure and self-control.
As it stands, Liquorose, Cross and Emmanuel, due to their positions as Head of House, Deputy Head of House and Ultimate Veto Power holder have all made it to the grand finale, and will be battling for the N90 million prize that is at stake.
The winner of the Season 6 Show will walk away with a whopping amount of N90 million in cash and prizes. This is, by far, the most prestigious award presented to the Big Brother Naija reality show winner.
However, the prize money breakdown is yet to be revealed. Typically, more than half of the prize money is donated in the form of vehicles, homes, foreign travel, and other products.
Although the breakdown of the grand prize of N90 million has not been revealed, a hint can be gotten from the N85 million cash prize won by Laycon last year, with N30 million cash prize, a two-bedroom apartment – courtesy of Revolution Plus, a top-of-the-range SUV from Nigerian automaker – Innoson Motors, a trip to Dublin – courtesy of Guinness, and home appliances – courtesy of Scanfrost.
Others are: 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; a trip to watch the UEFA Champions League finale; and a brand new Oppo mobile smartphone.
This year’s show is even more fascinating, as it is being sponsored by Nigerian-owned cryptocurrency companies, namely: Abeg and its associates, Patricia.
The Show is expected to come to a close on October 4, 2021.
