Unlike its predecessor, which returned after 11 years, Big Brother Naija season 3 housemates showed both viewers and the organisers of the show that it would be worth it to keep the show going; something that they did.
For the third season of the show, a total of 20 housemates stayed in the house for 84 days. During this time, they brought a lot of drama and entertainment, which they still bring to the table now, more than two years after the show.
Miracle Igbokwe won the grand prize after the 84 days elapsed while Cee-C emerged the first runner up. It would be interesting to see where all 20 housemates are now, and that is exactly what we will examine in this article.
We previously shared the activities of the Big Brother Naija season 1 housemates as well as the Big Brother Naija season 2 housemates. Check them out as well.
For the third season of the show, season 1 housemate, Ebuka continued his duty as the host of the show, something that he began on the second season. Ebuka was a housemate in season one of the show when it was still known as Big Brother Nigeria.

1. Miracle Igbokwe
Miracle was one of the most loved BBNaija season 3 housemates, as evidenced by the fact that he won the show.

He was one of the most talked-about housemates on the show, mostly because of his relationship with fellow housemate, Nina. His tactics, if any, ensured that his name was on the lips of almost everyone watching the show.
After winning the show, many expected the Imo State-born pilot to go into the entertainment industry like many housemates do, but he disappointed fans.
Instead of doing as expected, he travelled abroad to continue pursuing his dreams of becoming a pilot. Before doing this, he met with then governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, who promised to help him with funds for his education.
He regularly shares updates on that, and in 2019, he announced that he had been certified an instrument-rated pilot. Apart from that, Miracle is also a farmer.
He shared this little tidbit on his Instagram page. However, he has not updated his page since December 2019.
2. Cynthia ‘Cee-C Nwadiora
Cynthia Nwadiora, known popularly as Cee-C, is also one of the BBNaija season 3 housemates who were very popular on the show.

In fact, Cee-C is popular even now, as her fans still manage to bring up her name during Big Brother Naija conversations.
Cee-C’s participation in the Big Brother Naija show began the trend of ‘fan life’. Her perceived arrogance caused people to dislike her and to rise up in her defence as well.
Now, Cee-C is an award-winning social media influencer, an actress (“Another Father’s Day”, among others) and an entrepreneur. She founded the Cegar brand, which includes a loungewear department and a logistics company.
She continues to wax stronger as the years pass and with her fans behind her, we can’t wait to see which new feats she will conquer.
3. Tobi Bakre
Tobi Bakre was also one of the biggest names out of the Big Brother Naija season 3 show. He was also one of the most beloved Big Brother Naija season 3 housemates.

He started a romantic relationship with fellow housemate Cee-C in the first few weeks but the relationship became sour and the two went their separate ways.
After the conclusion of the show, Tobi went on to sign several high profile endorsement deals.
These days, Tobi is a public figure who is known for his roles in movies like “Fix Us”, and “Sugar Rush”; the brands he represents and his amazing artwork.
4. Bamike ‘Bam Bam’ Olawumi
Bam Bam’s story is one of the most interesting among the Big Brother Naija season 3 housemates.

She sparked a romantic relationship with fellow housemate Teddy A while she was in the house, and while no one expected them to make much of it, they surprised everyone.
The two went on to continue their relationship after the house, delighting their fans and ‘shippers’. When they eventually got married, the news took over social media as fans struggled to get a glimpse of first their traditional wedding, then the white wedding in Dubai.
Now, she has welcomed a baby girl, Zendaya Adenibuyan, with her husband, Teddy A.
Bam Bam has also released a song titled “Worry”.
She has starred in films like “The Gift”, “No Budget”, and others. Bam Bam is also a brand influencer and entrepreneur.
5. Teddy A
Teddy A entered the Big Brother Naija season 3 house with a bad guy reputation that he did not manage to live up to.

He started a romantic relationship with fellow housemate Bam Bam. This relationship with Bam Bam made him popular within and outside the house.
After leaving the house, he secured more than a couple of modelling gigs. He has also released a couple of songs towards his music career.
This has not proved to be effective as his music career is still on the rise. Hopefully, as time passes, he will see a little more luck with his career.
6. Ifu Ennada
Ifu Ennada was one of the most interesting housemates on the Big Brother Naija season 3 show.

However, Ifu Ennada’s stay in the house was cut short as she could not garner enough fans to keep her in the house.
After the house, Ifu Ennada got busy. From hosting events to acting as a brand ambassador, she has definitely been busy since then.
She eventually progressed into entrepreneurship by launching her own skincare and haircare brand, BeautifuSkin and BeautifuEnnada.
7. Princess
Fans expected Big Brother Naija season 3 housemate Princess to get into the house and turn things upside down, but it turned out that she was more of the quiet sort.

She did play her game smartly while in the house but she left once her time in the house was up. Once she left the house, however, much was not heard from her for a while.
She resurfaced as a media personality and an entrepreneur, setting up a beauty store called Primadonna beauty in Abuja.
8. Anto
Anto was one of the BBNaija season 3 housemates who was known for being beautiful and eloquent. Her romantic relationship with fellow housemate Lolu also worked in her favour as this made fans admire them even more.

What is more, Anto got a second chance to return to the house after she was evicted, but this did not help her get to the finish line.
After she left the house though, Anto truly shined. The former basketball manager has modelled for several brands and even gets front row seats for many high profile events in Nigeria.
She has also gotten her turn as an actress, starring in the movie “Dear Affy”.
9. Lolu
Lolu’s time in the BBNaija house saw him as calm and level-headed but his relationship with Anto made him stand out. Like her, this was not enough to get him to the final.

Outside the house, Lolu has continued his calm ways and is rarely seen at events, even though he was seen at a few in the early days following his eviction.
These days, he works as s host, most recently hosting the Gulder Ultimate Search Viewers Connect show.
10. Bitto
Bitto was one of the most standout housemates in the BBNaija season 3 house, so it was quite a surprise that he did not make it to the final.

After his exit from the house, Bitto did not surprise fans who thought he would end up as an on-air personality (OAP).
He is currently a broadcaster at Planet 101.1 FM.
11. Alex
The first week after Alex got into the BBNaija house, she largely went unnoticed.
