As the highly anticipated finale of Big Brother Naija Season 9 approaches this Sunday, 6 October 2024, excitement fills the air as fans eagerly speculate: who will join the illustrious BBNaija Hall of Fame? With only eight housemates remaining in the competition, the race for the grand prize of N100 million is reaching its thrilling climax.
The season, aptly titled ‘No Loose Guard’, launched in August with 28 housemates competing in pairs, showcasing their strategies and social skills over 71 gripping days. Weekly evictions kept audiences on the edge of their seats, leading to the current final eight: Anita, Kellyrae, Nelly, Onyeka, Ozee, Sooj, Victoria, and Wanni. “They need your votes to take home the crown!” emphasizes a show representative, highlighting the crucial role of public support in determining the winner.
While the spotlight shines brightly on these finalists, a lingering question arises: what becomes of past winners after they leave the Big Brother house? Many former champions have continued to thrive, carving out successful paths in various fields and becoming influential figures in entertainment and beyond.

Miracle Igbokwe, the winner of Season 3 in 2018, has pursued his aviation dreams post-show. “Winning was just the beginning; I wanted to inspire others,” he noted, having successfully earned his pilot’s license in the USA, showcasing determination and ambition.
Mercy Eke, the first woman to win BBNaija in 2019, has emerged as a major influencer and actress. “I’m living my dream,” Mercy said, as she continues to star in Nollywood films and make headlines on red carpets, recently winning the Best Dressed Female Award at the AMVCA.
Laycon, the Season 5 winner in 2020, has swiftly transitioned from reality star to music sensation. “I never imagined I’d be here,” he remarked, reflecting on his journey as he earns accolades, including Artist of the Year at the Naijatraffic Awards, and serves as Ogun State’s Youth Ambassador.
Whitemoney, who took home the prize in Season 6 in 2021, has leveraged his win to become a successful entrepreneur. “I’m passionate about my businesses and music,” he shared, as he continues to build his brand through various collaborations and endorsements.
Phyna, the Season 7 winner in 2022, is making waves in the entertainment industry, focusing on brand endorsements and acting. “I want to create opportunities for others,” she expressed, emphasizing her commitment to growth in the entertainment field.
Lastly, Ilebaye Odiniya, who won the All Stars edition in 2023, has quickly established herself as a social media influencer and entertainer. “I’m excited to explore all my passions,” she said, as her diverse talents continue to resonate with fans.
