After over 70 days of intense competition, Big Brother Naija Season 9, themed “No Loose Guard,” culminates tonight with eight Housemates vying for N100 million in prizes. The season began with 14 pairs, which were later unpaired, allowing Housemates to compete as individuals.
The finale follows shocking evictions, including that of Kassia last Sunday, leading to heightened anticipation. Among the remaining contestants—three men and five women—are Kellyrae, Ozee, Sooj, Wanni, Nelly, Anita, Onyeka, and Victoria. Nelly and Anita, known as the duo Nelita, remain the only pair yet to lose a partner, raising questions about their fate in the competition.
Social media speculation suggests Kellyrae might have an edge, especially after his wife was evicted last week, with some believing her exit was a strategic move to balance the competition. The slogan “The Money is Married” gained traction, further fueling the couple’s support.
Other strong contenders include Wanni, who gained fans after her twin sister’s departure; Nelly, who faces competition from Anita; and stunning Victoria, considered a show favorite. Onyeka, deemed a dark horse, has proved her mettle by eliminating strong players like Kassia and Shaun.
The two remaining male contestants, Ozee and Sooj, are predicted to struggle against the formidable female competitors as the finale approaches.
