Two Abia-born contestants, Goddessa and Cassi, have been unveiled as housemates in the eleventh season of Big Brother Naija, becoming part of the 2026 edition of Africa’s biggest reality television show.

The duo was introduced during the season premiere and will compete alongside other housemates from across Nigeria for the show’s record ₦160 million grand prize.

Their inclusion has generated excitement among Abians, with many taking to social media to celebrate the state’s representation in this year’s competition. Fans are expected to rally behind the pair as they navigate the challenges, tasks, nominations and evictions that define the BBNaija experience.

With the theme “Everything Is For The Taking,” Season 11 promises weeks of entertainment, strategy, alliances and competition as contestants battle for the coveted prize and nationwide recognition.

For Abia, having two natives in the house presents an opportunity for the state to be represented on one of Africa’s most watched television platforms.
