In his first address to the Big Brother Naija Season 9 housemates, Biggie stressed the importance of equality and fairness in the house. He reminded the 28 housemates, who were introduced in 14 pairs during the premiere, that they all start on a level playing field.
Biggie emphasized that regardless of their unique experiences, perspectives, or social backgrounds, all housemates stand on equal footing in the house. He assured them that they would have access to the same resources and be treated fairly.
The housemates are competing for a N100 million cash prize, and Biggie’s message of equality and fairness sets the tone for a competitive yet respectful season. By emphasizing that all housemates are equal, Biggie encourages them to focus on their individual strengths and weaknesses, rather than their social status or background.
