BBNaija S9: The Buzz now streaming on Showmax
Episode 1 of BBNaija S9: The Buzz is now streaming only on Showmax.
Hosted by media personality Toke Makinwa, this season promises to bring fans closer to all the electrifying drama, excitement, and plots unfolding in the BBNaija Season 9 House.

“I am super duper thrilled to bring you yet another fresh season of The Buzz. You can expect nothing short of a blast as we are coming to you with a truck-load of buzzworthy content, real and raw moments and all the juicy gist,” she said on the premiere episode.
Returning as a guest on The Buzz for this season was fellow media personality, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi. She was joined by blogger Tosin Silverdam, and together they got into the gist of the season so far.

“I absolutely love it. I am excited to see the dynamics!,” said Gbemi.
On first impressions as the Housemates made their way into the house, Tosin said: “They were all looking good but the fashion was a bit off at some point. They were not giving this time around.”
The BBNaija House was also up for discussion as all agreed that the House this season was beautifully done.
Always a juicy topic, the relationship dynamics in the house were also discussed, including potential romances and the complex interactions among Housemates.

“I feel like those who are not in relationships are scrambling to get in ‘ships’ and I’m just like, ‘no, not this strategy again’,” said Gbemi, while Tosin said, on the expectations from the Saturday party: “The twins, Hanni and Wandi… those girls. They are DJs so they have that energy. They are crazy!”
This season of The Buzz also samples comments from fans in a special vox pop segment.
With new episodes every Thursday, The Buzz perfectly complements the live, 24/7 BBNaija Season 9 show on Showmax. Fans across Africa can expect an insider’s view filled with candid opinions, sharp predictions and much more.
