BBNaija Season 10: The Vibes, Drama and Surprises of Week 7

Just when fans thought they had the housemates figured out, Week 7 of Big Brother Naija Season 10 arrived with sharp turns, shocking exits, and enough drama to keep everyone glued to their screens.
Thelma Takes Charge
Thelma Lawson grabbed the Head of House crown, with Mide chosen as her deputy. That win guaranteed them both safety, while Kaybobo rose to the title of Most Influential Player. Still, the politics of immunity did not silence growing tension inside the house.
The Red Telephone Strikes Again

The infamous red phone rang, and Dede was first to answer. Joanna was sent into the Secret Room, with Rooboy joining soon after. What looked like a punishment turned into luxury: takeout meals, special perks and an enviable chance to watch the house from a distance. Their return set off hugs, suspicion and more than a little envy among those who had slogged it out on the main floor.
Fights, Tears and Petty Wars
The week was not short on clashes. Faith branded Imisi a “threat” who lacked self-discipline, while Isabella broke down after Koyin dismissed their connection as nothing serious. Sultana’s hidden stash of cigarettes caused whispers, and Imisi stirred trouble by hoarding spoons in protest. Even Thelma’s reign as HoH did not escape scrutiny, with some housemates grumbling about how she handled chores and parties.
Love, Loyalty and Jealousy
Relationships remained messy. Dede and Kola’s bond faced fresh tension, while the return of the Secret Room pair triggered mixed feelings, joy for some and jealousy for others.
Double Eviction Shakes the House
Sunday night delivered the week’s biggest twist as Tracy and Denari were evicted in a double exit that rocked the house. Their departure jolted alliances and reminded viewers that no one, no matter how popular, is untouchable.
Takeaway: Week 7 proved that nothing in Big Brother Naija is guaranteed. With double evictions, secret privileges, and shifting loyalties, the race is tightening. And just as the dust settled, Week 8 opened with a fresh shake-up: Koyin grabbed the interim HoH crown and stunned the house with his guest pick, setting the stage for yet another round of drama.

BBNaija 10: The Best of Week 6

The game just got bloodthirsty. Week 6 in Biggie’s house was less about popularity and more about precision. Immunities were won, loyalties tested, and some housemates learned, the hard way, that silence isn’t always safe.
Faith Didn’t Blink

Faith took the reins this week, literally. He clinched the Head of House title, steered the house like a seasoned pilot, and barely broke a sweat doing it.
And outside the house, the fans crowned him Most Influential Housemate. That’s not just popularity; that’s power. Power he used with precision, choosing Joanna as his HoH lounge guest and pulling Zita out of the eviction pit with his veto.
Every move he made this week was calculated. No noise, no fuss, just impact.
Mensan’s Quiet Coup

While others ran around playing survival, Mensan pulled off the ultimate ninja move: he found the Red Envelope.
Immunity in Week 6? That’s not luck. That’s positioning. With the pressure off, Mensan now holds the freedom to observe, gather intel, and plot next steps while the rest scramble for safety. He’s been quiet, now he’s dangerous.
Zita’s Lifeline (and the Price of Favour)
It wasn’t looking good for Zita, until Faith saved her from eviction. Whether that was heart or strategy, only he knows.
But now, Zita owes him. And in this house, nobody gives without expecting something back.
Saturday Night Shifted the Vibes

The party was lit, but the energy? Strange. Dede and Kola looked joined at the hip. Bright and Mide had a “chat” that clearly wasn’t just about the music.
By morning, friendships felt shakier. The whispers got louder. Ships might be forming, or crashing. Either way, hearts are entering a game that doesn’t care about feelings.
Evictions Hit Hard

Three housemates bowed out this week: Ivatar, Big Soso, and Doris. Soso brought energy, Ivatar carried confidence, Doris showed emotion, but the game rewards strategy above all.
Their exit left the house smaller, but far more intense.
Faith Strikes Again, Week 7 Interim HoH Secured
After last night’s live eviction, Faith proved he’s not done yet by winning Head of House for Week 7. But the victory isn’t guaranteed; the title will be put to the test today at the arena, where rivals will challenge him head-on.
With Faith holding the HoH crown again, the house feels the heat rising. The power dynamics are shifting fast, and no one’s safe.
Last Word
Week 6 didn’t just shake the table, it flipped it. The house is colder, alliances are tighter, and trust has become a rare currency. Nobody’s coasting anymore. And if they are, they’ll be next.

BBNaija 10: Week 5 Recap – Sultana’s Stunning Interim HOH Takeover for Week 6

Week 5 in the Big Brother Naija house had it all: suspense, surprise twists, and a sardine-fueled showdown that shook alliances. As the game moves into deeper waters, cracks are showing, and the housemates are starting to feel the pressure.
Rooboy Grabs the Crown
The biggest headline was Rooboy snatching the Head of House crown from Jason Jae. The challenge was not for the faint-hearted. Blindfolded housemates had to dig through boxes filled with rabbits and birds in search of the HoH tag. Rooboy stayed calm, beat the others to it, and secured the win. His first move as HoH was picking Zita as his lounge partner, which was a fair payback since she had chosen him the week before.
Nominations? Cancelled!
Just when fans were bracing for another tense eviction, Biggie shook things up. Rooboy drew a special card from the Tree of Trinkets, cancelling all nominations. That meant everyone was safe for the week. With no eviction to reset tensions, unspoken grudges and hidden agendas are bound to boil over in Week 6.
The Sardine Fight
If there was ever proof that food can break friendships in the BBNaija house, this week provided it. Biggie issued a limited number of sardines, and chaos quickly ensued. Dede grabbed two tins, promising to share one with Mide. Isabella called her out for greed, dragging Koyin into the feud. What started as a simple disagreement over fish escalated into a heated showdown, exposing just how fragile alliances have become.
Tension Behind the Smiles
Beyond the headline moments, the house felt heavier. Diary sessions revealed housemates struggling with stress, prank scares rattled nerves, and the wager task tested their teamwork. With emotions running high, cracks are no longer easy to hide.
Sultana Takes the Reins
The Sunday live show set the stage for Week 6 with a dramatic shake-up. Sultana emerged as the new Head of House, while Joanna became the “house snail” after a low performance in the HoH challenge. Biggie also restricted certain privileges, leaving parts of the house off-limits and forcing housemates to adapt to a more challenging routine. The show had its fashion highlights as well. Ebuka stepped out in a striking traditional ensemble, complete with intricate embroidery and a dramatic headpiece. This was a reminder of why his style remains a live show standout. With Sultana in control, Week 6 promises even more drama, strategy, and unexpected twists.
