The much-anticipated BBNaija All-Stars 2023 season is finally here, and it’s clear the organisers had one intention in mind: pure chaos.
The lineup features housemates from as far back as the ‘See Gobbe’ season and as recent as the ‘Level Up’ season. In case you aren’t familiar with the faces you’ll be seeing on your screen for the next 72 days, here’s a quick refresher to keep you in the loop.
CeeC (Double Wahala, 2018)
She was drama-personified in her season, and she’s back to correct the “difficult and problematic” impressions about her from the last time we saw her in the house. Fingers crossed CeeC, fingers crossed.
Frodd (Pepper Dem, 2019)
Known for his emotions and quickness to cry during his season, Frodd makes a return to the BBNaija All-Stars house. Our man says he’s specifically after the money because he’s about to welcome a child and “Pampers is expensive”.
Princess (Double Wahala, 2018)
She’s back in the ‘All-Stars’ house because she felt she was ousted from the ‘Double Wahala’ season way too soon. For Princess, the world didn’t get to see all she had to offer, but they’ll be seeing that this season.
Venita ( Pepper Dem, 2019)
The actress has once again taken a break from Nollywood to join the race for Big Brother’s ₦120 million. We’re here for the drama sha.
Neo Akpofure (Lockdown, 2020)
Known as his season’s resident bad boy, the Lockdown ex-housemate is back for the ‘All-Stars’ edition because he has more to offer. Weirdly, he’s in the race for Biggie’s money with his cousin, Venita.
Seyi Awolowo ( Pepper Dem, 2019)
The ex ‘Pepper-Dem’ housemate said a lot has changed since we last saw him, especially since he’s now a father. This means we’re getting a new version of Seyi Awolowo in the All-Stars house. We’re SAT.
Tolani Baj (Lockdown 2020)
Last seen in Biggie’s house during the Lockdown season, Tbaj is back for the BBNaija All-Stars 2023 edition to correct wrong impressions about her.
Ike (Pepper Dem, 2020)
Our IJGB brother was part of the ‘Pepper Dem’ season in 2019 and has been hustling in Nigeria since then. Mans says the street is tough, and he’s in the All-Stars season to chase the coins. Okay, Ike.
Pere (Shine Ya Eyes, 2021)
Famous as the general of the ‘Lockdown’ season, Pere is back in the BBNaija ‘All-Stars’ house for another chance at the juicy prize money. We understand bro, it’s tough out there.
Mercy Eke ( Pepper Dem, 2019)
Lambo won the ‘Pepper Dem’ season, but that’s not enough reason to stop her from jumping on an opportunity to win again. According to her, “winners keep winning”.
Adekunle (Level Up, 2022)
Fresh off the 2022 ‘Level Up’ season, Adekunle is in the running for the BBNaija ‘All-Stars’ 2023 edition because he wants the world to see more of his bad-boy side. Okay Adekuku, we hear you.
Ilebaye (Level Up, 2022)
Another ex-Lockdown housemate in 2022, Ilabaye is back to play the game because she feels like she didn’t get to do that well during her season. Fingers crossed.
Angel (Shine Ya Eyes, 2021)
The last time we saw Angel in Biggie’s house was during the ‘Shine Ya Eyes’ season, but she’s back to slug it out with the All-Stars.
Soma (See Gobbe, 2017)
Another housemate from the ‘See Gobbe’ season feels he left his season way too early; Soma is taking no chances this season.
Whitemoney (Shine Ya Eyes, 2021)
Mazi won the ‘Shine Ya Eyes’ season, but he still wants to get a piece of the cake —Biggie’s ₦120 million. We don’t know if he plans to use the same kitchen strategy this season sha.
Cross (Shine Ya Eyes, 2021)
Our man was last seen during the ‘Shine Ya Eyes’ season having fun until he was evicted. Now he’s back to do the same in the ‘All-Stars’ season. Only difference is he plans to win while at it this time around.
Uriel (See Gobbe, 2017)
The ‘See Gobbe’ ex-housemate was known as the queen of the diary room during her season. She’s back to slug it out now that she has “worked on herself and is more confident to be on national TV.”
Kiddwaya (Lockdown, 2020)
The billionaire kid was a menace during his run in the ‘Lockdown’ season. He’s back in the ‘All-Stars’ house for the good vibes and money.
Alex (Double Wahala, 2018)
She was the queen of the dance floor during the ‘Double Wahala’ season. But it seems we’ll be getting an Alex 2.0 in the ‘All-Stars’ house now that she has gone through a lot of personal growth.
Doyin (Level Up, 2022)
Another fairly recent BBNaija alumni, Doyin has some unfinished business in the house, so when Big Brother called, she answered.
