Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eye housemates have received their first reward for the season, in the form of currencies referred to as ‘Abeg Naira’.

Big Brother, fondly called Biggie, organised an impromptu task for the collection of the reward at the Big Brother Arena.

Biggie said, “It is time for you to be awarded your first Abeg Naira for the season. Subsequently, Abeg Naira will come in different and likely simpler means.”

In the Arena, 23 stools were arranged with an envelope on each of them.

Biggie explained that in each envelope is a certain amount of Abeg Naira, which differs from another.

“This means some housemates will be richer than others,” Biggie said.
