While male contestants are expected to join later, this all-women introduction gives the spotlight to a diverse group of women from across the country ranging from actresses and entrepreneurs to chefs, therapists, and DJs—all ready to compete for the ₦150 million prize.

In another twist, this season’s ₦150 million prize will not be handed over at the end of the show as a lump sum.
