The show has begun. We are going to be immersed in the drama of the special edition of the Big Brother Naija All-Stars for close to three months.
Prime Business Africa presents three things viewers may likely find exhilarating this week as 20 former housemates whom Big Brother affectionately called ‘House Guests’ and ‘Stars’ on Sunday evening.

1. One Minute Silence For Late Big Brother Naija Housemates
Two former housemates of the Big Brother Naija show, Patrick Fakoya (Rico Swavey) and Joseph Ada died in 2022 and 2023 respectively.
Rico who was a part of the Pepper Dem edition in 2019 left us after complications from an accident.
Joseph Ada died recently in the United States after he was diagnosed with Pancreatitis.
The reality star relocated to the United States after the show to pursue his career as a flight attendant.
Ada was in the house in 2006 with other housemates like current hosts Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Katung Aduwak (winner), Sandra, Maureen Osuji and Gideon Okeke, among others.
2. Introduction Of Coins
Host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu almost let the cat put of the bag during the launch show on Sunday evening.
The lawyer, model, presenter and host per excellence who featured in the first edition and finished in 5th position, said during the introduction of Pepper Dem housemate, Ike Onyema, hinted that it is likely that there would be a reintroduction of the Coins.
Remember that there was huge drama in the house when Ike stole the coins of Omashola Oburoh?
That could be another feature of the All-Stars show.
3. Video Messages From Other Former Housemates
There were former housemates that did not make their way to the house.
These equally important figures in the history of the show are either committed to other projects or could still be on the show as there are a few of them that will be brought back in the midst of the reality show.
Expect at some point to see these housemates to have video calls with their fellow ex housemates and friends to light up old flames.
