The first Housemate to be introduced was Cee C from the Double Wahala season, who said she came for the money and is not ready to entertain any boy distractions.
Next up was Kiddwaya from the Lockdown season. He also said he came back for the money so he can share it with everybody, adding that he wanted to showcase the other side of him. Doyin from the Level Up season came after and when Ebuka asked why she was back in the house so soon, her response was "Ebuka, I like money, I like the opportunities that come with being on the show."

Frodd, from the Pepper Dem season, came after and he said he was back to get the prize money for his woman. Next up was Uriel from the See Gobe season. Uriel, who kept fans entertained during her season with her hilarious diary sessions, promised to bring positive energy, good vibes, and drama in this season. She also added that she is ready to be "shipped away".
Pere from Shine Ya Eye season came after, and when asked which side of him we would be seeing on the show, he said we should "watch out and see."
Next up was Princess from the Double Wahala season, who cracked fans up after joking about receiving Biggie's apology for her early eviction during her first run. Asked why she came back to the BBNaija house, she shared that she came back ready to play the game. Soma from See Gobe season was next and he promised to do things differently this season, "I don show o, I go scatter everywhere" he said.

Angel from the Shine Ya Season also made the cut and promised to give gbas gbos, entertainment, and fun. Then came Neo from the Lockdown season, who said he came back for the money. Alex from the Double Wahala season came after and said we won't get to see what we saw before because now she is the "main event".
Girl, we are ready!
The next Housemate to hit the stage was Seyi from the Pepper Dem season. After the surprise revelation that he had gotten married, he shared that he came to get the money and have a good time. Ilebaye from the Level Up season came after and promised to start from where she stopped last season, as the Gen Z baddie that she is. Up next was Ike from the Pepper Dem season, who said he said came to have fun and show us what we missed the last time with no distractions. "Lagos don change me," he said to the cheers of fans.
Venita from the Pepper Dem season followed and when Ebuka asked her what we should expect, she said, "I can't tell you everything, I just have to show you." Adekunle from the Level Up season came up after and he told Ebuka that "I am going to introduce everybody to bad boy Dex".
Wahalurr.
The next Housemate to come on stage was TolaniBaj from the Lockdown season, and she came prepared to show the world "Pepper TolaniBaj." Cross from the Shine Ya Eye season followed closely, sharing that he came to have fun and get the money.
Bringing up the rear were two Housemates fans weren't prepared for - Pepper Dem season winner Mercy Eke and Shine Ya Eye season winner White Money.
Storming the stage in her lavish outfit, Mercy shared with Ebuka that she was going to be the same person.
"I am going to be the same Mercy and win the game again. Ebuka, I have done it before, so it won't be hard for me to do it again."
Oshey, queen of highlights!
Then came Whitemoney, who said he was in Biggie's House to get the money and catch cruise.
