Next was Saga, Yousef, Pere, Whitemoney, Niyi, Yerins, Jay Paul, Emmanuel, Sammie and Cross.

The first arm of the opening night ended with the introduction of the tenth male Housemates.

Ebuka announced that the Sunday opening ceremony will see the female Housemates joining the 11 already in the House.

Quick facts of the revamped BBNaija House

The revamped BBNaija season 6 House comes with a mezzanine floor measuring over 200sqm. This is in addition to the original House, which measures about 1800sqm with an additional 250sqm for support building services such as the presenter and artistes’ lounges and an art room where all the props for the arena games are made.

This mezzanine floor features a brand new indoor games lounge with a trophy cabinet, a private executive lounge accessible only at specified periods and a royal Head of House room measuring over 50sqm.

Images of these new spaces reveal exquisite interior designs and a great attention to detail. For example, the executive lounge features green tufted upholstery with matching green walls and a wallpaper reminiscent of the rainforest. The HoH room on the other hand screams ‘opulence’. The Victorian themed room features a gold headboard above the king-sized bed complete with embroidered maroon throw pillows and a vanity table against a wall with gold detailing. The indoor games lounge will be the ultimate fun zone for the housemates with a snooker board, table football and tennis. The games lounge overlooks the dinning area with the balcony railing lined with tribal design potted plants.

The design aesthetic in the common areas of the house features bright colors and geometric shapes with accent of African décor pieces in strategic locations. The gold lion statue at the foot of the HoH chair is also worthy of note.

The outdoor area also features a redesigned patio with a mural painting and Jacuzzi. All pieces in the house were locally sourced with close to 75 artisans working to bring this season’s theme to life.

The addition of the new floor has ultimately seen an increase in the number of cameras in the house. In BBNaija Pepper Dem edition in 2019 the house was designed to take seven hand-held cameras and 32 que ball cameras.

This season has 14 hand-held cameras and 37 que ball cameras capable of seeing the housemates at all times. The mezzanine floor alone has 11 of those que balls and two hand-held cameras. There are also two times more ambience microphones to capture every conversation in the House.
