The much anticipated BBNaija ‘All-Stars’ edition premiered on Sunday, July 23, 2023, with housemates from past editions returning for another round of entertainment in the Big Brother house.

The winners of the ‘Pepper Dem’ and Shine Ya Eye’ editions, Mercy Eke and Whitemoney, respectively, as well as 18 other ex-housemates from the seven previous editions of Big Brother Naija were ushered into the house by the host of the show, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

The housemates took turns to reveal their aims of coming back on the show.

Cee-C from the ‘Double Wahala’ season, a lawyer and filmmaker, who returned to the show after five years, said: “The viewers will get to see Cee-C promax this time, I am hoping that the viewers will see me and who I am.

“I am here to get the money, I will stay focused, no distractions this time.”
