Big Brother Titans prize money revealed
The Big Brother Titans prize money has also been revealed to be a whopping $100,000 (N44.5 million).
This prize money is excluding other mouth-watering gifts the winner of the show will be going home with at the end of the day.
BBTitans will not affect Nigeria’s presidential election
The organisers of the reality show also spoke on the concerns people raised about it being a distraction during Nigeria’s presidential election season.
It was explained that the youths are very keen on performing their civic rights and the show will not stop them from voting in 2023.
Instead, it was explained that the BBTitans show will keep viewers entertained during the election season.
They also noted that the BBTitans concept was a fresh one and it would be like a fusion of Afrobeats and Amapiano.
No Shower Hour
The shower hour has always been a controversial part of the Big Brother reality shows. However, the BBTitans organisers noted that there would be none of that in the new season.
It was explained that shower hour was scrapped because of the country’s regulations.
Some former BBNaija housemates were also spotted at the press conference.
Chizzy, Adekunle, Kayvee, Deji, Dotun and more were spotted. See the photo below:

Enough of the Naija vibe we have been getting
A Nigerian baker and BBNaija fan, Blessing Olayemi, spoke with Legit.ng’s Owolawi Taiwo on the upcoming BBTitans in January 2023.
She expressed her excitement about Nigerian and South African housemates coming together and noted that it will bring a lot of drama.
She said:
“I really can’t wait for the show to begin. I can't wait to see South Africans in their own personality, enough of the Naija vibe we have been getting. Mixing the both together, there will be so much drama in the house.”
BBTitans can’t stop BBNaija Level Up stars from shining
Also during the interview, the young lady spoke on concerns of BBTitans starting shortly after the BBNaija Level Up show and if the housemates had shined enough.
According to her, it cannot affect anything. Blessing noted that the old housemates will remain relevant as long as they have something to offer Nigerians.
“I don't think it will affect anything because even if they start one year later, If you don’t have anything to offer Nigerians, then you don’t have anything to offer them. It’s just for the previous housemates to keep putting themselves out there and thrive so it does not affect their popularity. If they have something to offer, people will remember them. We still have previous sets from years ago that are still relevant while we don’t even hear anything about some of the housemates who came after them. So it’s about having something to offer. If they have something to offer, people will always remember them and see them as relevant so I can’t really wait.”
BBTitans and election
The young baker explained that even though the BBTitans might affect the elections, it is what it is.
In her words:
“Some people are saying it will affect the election, sure it will because many people will divert their attention from the election to Big Brother but it is what it is.”
Another BBNaija fan, Harriet Bani, explained while speaking with Legit.ng that BBTitans cannot affect the 2023 election because it is just a day thing.
She said:
“Now the election is around the corner, it is not something that will be conducted for a whole week, it’s a day thing so to me BBTitans does not affect the election in any way. I am a die-hard politician and also a Big Brother lover. Big Brother does not affect anything that is important to me that I want to do, except that thing is not important. If I really want to vote, I don’t think Big Brother has any effect on my voting capability.”
