It was the first time that housemates were paired, the first time three housemates were evicted in one night among other shocks. This year’s edition also had a mix of students, media professionals, a lawyer, a pilot and entertainment personalities.
Less than one hour to the grand finale, music icon Davido and his crew made a surprise appearance in the house to the delight of the five housemates.
The grand prize is put at N45 million which include the cash prize of N25 million, an SUC worth N12 million and other perks including a trip offshore for two and household entertainment equipment.
About 7.30pm on Sunday, Nathan, an auditor from Deloitte brought the card containing the name of the first evictee of the night and it happened to be Nina. She was followed by Alex, leaving the trio of Cee-C, Tobi and Miracle as the last three standing. Against odds, Tobi was next to be evicted.
Speaking earlier on the third edition of the show, the General Manager, Sales and Marketing for MultiChoice Nigeria, Martin Mabutho, said the Double Wahala tag of this year’s edition has been served.
In his preview of the show in January, Mabutho had said: “Without a doubt, this promises to be the most exciting edition of the Big Brother franchise on the African continent.
