How to Play Baba Ijebu: A Beginner’s Guide

New to Baba Ijebu? This beginner’s guide explains the 5/90 format, the main bet types, and how to play at agents, via USSD or online.

How Baba Ijebu works

Baba Ijebu uses the classic 5/90 format: five winning numbers are drawn from a pool of 1 to 90. You choose numbers and a bet type — such as NAP2 (2 Sure), NAP3 or a Perm — and win if enough of your numbers match the draw. You can play at agent shops, via *755#, or online.

Baba Ijebu bet types

The most common bets are NAP2 (2 Sure), where two of your numbers must be drawn; NAP3, NAP4 and NAP5 for three, four or five correct numbers; and Perm bets that cover multiple combinations. Harder bets pay more but are much less likely to win.

Where to play

You can play Baba Ijebu at licensed agent shops across Nigeria, from a basic phone via *755#, or online through the official Premier Lotto platform. Always use official channels and keep your details private.

Frequently asked questions

What is the easiest Baba Ijebu bet?

NAP2 (2 Sure) is the simplest, requiring two correct numbers, though it pays less than harder bets.

Do I need a smartphone to play?

No. You can play at an agent or via the *755# USSD code on any basic phone.

Play responsibly

Baba Ijebu is a game of chance for players aged 18+. Only stake what you can comfortably afford to lose, never chase losses, and never borrow to play. No prediction can guarantee a win. If playing stops being fun, take a break or seek support from a professional service.

Getting started with Baba Ijebu

If you are new to Baba Ijebu, start by creating an account, adding funds and exploring the available games and markets. Take time to understand how stakes, odds and payouts work before committing real money, and begin with small, affordable amounts while you learn the platform.

Understanding odds and payouts

Odds tell you both how likely an outcome is and what you stand to win. With decimal odds, your total return is simply your stake multiplied by the odds. For example, a ₦1,000 stake at odds of 2.00 returns ₦2,000, including your stake. Higher odds mean bigger potential returns but a lower chance of winning.

Tips for beginners

Stick to the sports and markets you understand best, set a firm budget, and treat any bonus as a boost rather than a strategy. Avoid chasing losses, keep your stakes consistent, and remember that betting should be entertainment first. Discipline matters far more than any single tip.

Responsible gambling

Betting should stay fun and affordable. Baba Ijebu offers tools such as deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion to help you stay in control. Only stake what you can comfortably afford to lose, and never chase losses. You must be 18 or older to bet in Nigeria. If gambling stops being enjoyable, seek support from a professional counsellor or a responsible-gambling helpline.
