Kellyrae, Big Brother Naija ‘No Loose Guard’ housemate, has been crowned winner of the 2024 season 9

Kellyrae was announced winner on the 71st day of the show.

Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, host of the show, announced the winner on Sunday.

The eight housemates who made it to the finals were Soj, Anita, Nelly, Onyeka, Wanni, Victoria and Ozee.

As the competition winner, Kellyrae goes home with N100m of prize, comprising of N60 million cash and a brand new Odogwu Jeep made by Nigeria’s Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company (IVM).

Throughout the season, the housemates faced a series of challenges, ranging from competitive tasks to emotional trials. 

Those who performed well earned immunity from evictions and some even won cash prizes from task, like the #HerMoneyHerPower task sponsored by The She Tank and BellaNaija. 

This particular task encouraged participants to reflect on the importance of financial independence for women, creating impactful content that sparks meaningful discussions and influences public opinion. And guess who won the task? It was Anita.

As the weeks rolled, the housemates gradually reduced, a pair at a time. 

The most dramatic came when Big Brother unpaired them, throwing them into uncharted territory. 

Despite the shock, they kept their eyes on the prize, determined to make it to the final.

Finally, the grand finale arrived Sunday. The three finalists—Onyeka, who finished as second runner-up, Wanni, the first runner-up, and the shining star of the season, Kellyrae, who was crowned the winner—gave viewers unforgettable evening as the curtain closed on the season Sunday night.
