BBNaija 2025 Auditions: Have They Started or Closed?
Multichoice kicked off the BBNaija 2025 audition process in early March 2025 via online entries. As with previous seasons, applicants were required to submit a short video showcasing their personality and explaining why they should be in the house.
Some hopeful contestants reported receiving callback emails, while others are still waiting. No second-round physical auditions have been announced publicly, which aligns with the fully online audition format used since COVID-19.
If you didn’t apply this year, don’t worry—there’s always next season. But for now, the housemates of 2025 are likely already being selected behind the scenes.
