Since I’ve been watching BBN for a while, I’ve had a lot of questions about the show in general. One of them is, “Where is Big Brother Naija house?”
I didn’t stop there. I started looking for the answer to my question, which is why I’m here to help another curious friend.
The Big Brother Naija home’s current location or address has been a mystery. But my research shows that the Big Brother Naija house is located near the DSTV office in the Lagos neighborhood of Ilupeju.
Read further to know why I said so.
The old location of the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) house
For the first two seasons of Big Brother Naija (BBNaija), the Big Brother house was in South Africa.
This made a lot of people angry. Many said that a show for kids shouldn’t be on TV and that Nigerians shouldn’t be detained outside of their country.
In 2018, the third and fourth seasons of Big Brother were filmed in Lagos, Nigeria, despite these reactions.

Martin Mabutho, Chief Customer Officer at Multichoice, explains why the company decided to bring the show to Nigeria in this way:
“It made sense for us to bring it here. See Gobe was the first one we did, but last year’s Double Wahala was better.
There was nothing wrong with it. Now, at that time, we said very clearly that bringing the show to Nigeria would be the best thing to do. It would be worth spending money on, and it would be fun for us.
Corporate Nigeria and sponsors have gotten behind it in a big way, so I think it will be bigger than anything we’ve done before”.
The current location of the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) house
For the third and fourth episodes of Big Brother Naija in 2018, the house was moved from South Africa to Lagos, Nigeria. The question is, “But where is Big Brother Naija house in Lagos?”
Big Brother Naija Season 6 will take place in Lagos, Nigeria, according to the show’s producer, Multichoice Nigeria.
The sixth season of Big Brother Naija started in July 2021 at the BBNaija house in Lagos, Nigeria. The BBNaija house is in Ilupeju, Lagos.
