The Big Brother Naija season 5 Lockdown reality television show aired from July 19 to September 27, 2020, – 71 days, 10 weeks reality competitive game.
The show premiered with 20 gentlemen and ladies introduced to live together in one common House, do things and carry out several functions unanimously while going about their daily activities.
However, the rules and regulations are always imposed and have to be abided as there will definitely be consequences resulting from any infringement.
During those periods of time, Housemates were given several tasks and functions which they took part in, presented and got commended and probably rewarded with gifts and cash prizes.
After the 2020 edition of the Nigeria’s famous reality TV show, ValidUpdates compiled the total amounts of money each of the Lockdown Housemates won and with a little or more information about how they won it.
Vee
The number one and first (1st) Housemate on the list is the female Housemate, Vee.

She took home a whopping sum of N5,350,000 million having satisfiably won some of the major tasks in the House like Johnnie Walker Task, Pepsi Turn Up Task, etc.

Lucy
The twelfth (12th) Housemate to step out of Biggie’s residence with some real cash is the favourite chef in the House, Lucy Edet Essien and she left with extraordinary sum of N1,318,000. Recall that Lucy was known in the House as the most hated Housemate and with so much negative things to say about her, Housemates had always been on her neck trying out on the possible means to send her out of the game.
Wathoni

Ka3na, Lilo, Tochi, Eric
And last but definitely not the least, the final four Housemates on the list Ka3na, Lilo, Tochi, and Eric who earlier left on the 2nd and 3rd weeks respectively didn’t garner memorable and palpable amount of cash to be recorded, even though they earned themselves little sums.
These are chronologically the amount of money each of the Lockdown Housemates earned for themselves while in the House. And note that the amounts on our list aren’t inclusive of the ones earned by the Housemates outside the House.
