Big Brother Naija Season 11 entered Week 7 with Nomy’s disqualification, a new Head of House, changes to the nomination process and several disagreements among the housemates. Thirteen housemates were also placed up for possible eviction, while relationship issues, cleaning duties and the wager task added to the drama so far this week.

One of the biggest developments of Week 7 was Nomy’s disqualification from the Big Brother Naija house on September 7. Big Brother’s decision followed her repeated defiance of his instructions, including an earlier strike and final warning. She had also been made a Bench Warmer after finishing last in the Head of House challenge, with instructions to remain on a designated bench and wear a vest. On the day of her disqualification, she left the assigned bench and also left the vest behind.

Big Brother later announced that Nomy would no longer continue in the competition and gave her 30 minutes to pack her belongings and leave the house. Her exit was a disciplinary disqualification rather than a public vote eviction. She is the first housemate to be disqualified from the ongoing season.

Tram Takes Over as Week 7 Head of House

Tram became the Week 7 Head of House after winning the HoH challenge, placing him in charge of the week’s HoH duties and privileges.

His new position also gave him a role in the nomination process. This became significant after Big Brother introduced a change to the usual nomination routine for the week.

Big Brother Changes the Nomination Process

Big Brother changed the Week 7 nomination process by placing envelopes containing specific instructions in the house. Each housemate was required to pick an envelope and carry out the task or nomination instruction inside it, replacing the regular face-to-face nomination format. The instructions in the envelopes determined which housemates would be nominated and how the process played out.

Keivo eventually found the card that placed his safety in the hands of the Head of House. Tram had to decide whether to leave Keivo at risk of eviction or save him, and he chose to save him. His decision affected the final list of housemates placed up for the public vote.

13 Housemates Face Possible Eviction

At the end of the nomination process, 13 housemates were placed up for possible eviction. They were Abi, Aikou, Araga, Barry, Bells, Bluethopia, Chimsom Chuka, Flora, Oyin, Ricky, Sheba, Temi Nkem and Yusuf.

The nominated housemates carried on with their usual activities while preparing for the wager task.

Trust became another source of disagreement during the week. Araga had conversations with Sheba and other housemates about whether information was being shared around the house.

The issue later led to an exchange between Araga, Sheba and Ricky. Ricky challenged Araga over what he believed had been shared, while Sheba questioned some of the conclusions being made about her. The disagreement became one of the notable arguments of the week.

Bells and Yusuf’s Relationship Comes Under Pressure

Bells and Yusuf also had a difficult conversation. Bells apologised to Yusuf after admitting that she had disrespected him, but the apology did not immediately resolve the issue between them.

The two continued to discuss where their relationship stood, with Yusuf sharing his concerns about the situation. Their conversations became another storyline playing out in the house as the week progressed.

Abi and Ricky also experienced tension during Week 7. A conversation between the two led Abi to question the direction of their relationship, after which she said she wanted to take a step back.

Several of them dealt with disagreements and uncertainty about where they stood with one another.

Tram and Sheba Clash Over Cleaning Duties

Cleaning duties sparked another clash between Tram and Sheba. Tram called the housemates together to discuss their responsibilities and assigned different areas for them to clean.

Sheba questioned his approach, arguing that attention should be given to areas that actually needed cleaning. Tram defended the arrangements, and the discussion became heated before it ended and the housemates returned to their duties.

Housemates Lose Week 7 Wager

The Week 7 wager was another major part of the latter stages of the week. The housemates spent time rehearsing their presentation, organising their costumes and working through their different parts of the task.

Their efforts did not earn them a win. The housemates lost the Week 7 wager on September 11, giving them another setback as they headed towards the weekend and the next live eviction show.

With 13 housemates facing possible eviction and the wager already lost, attention now turns to the next live show, where the public vote will determine who stays in the competition and who leaves.

Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemate Nomy has been disqualified from the reality show after repeatedly failing to follow Big Brother’s instructions.

The decision was announced on Monday, September 7, during the Live Nominations following another instance of defying Big Brother’s instructions. Nomy had already received a strike and final warning for similar conduct.

The latest incident involved her role as the week’s Benchwarmer. Nomy and Ricky competed for the position, with Nomy eventually taking the punishment. She was instructed to wear a designated vest and remain on a particular bench as part of the arrangement.

Nomy later left the bench and abandoned the Benchwarmer bib. Big Brother questioned her about the decision and reminded her of the instructions she had been given.

Big Brother subsequently revoked Nomy’s privilege to participate in the game and gave her 30 minutes to gather her belongings and leave the Show Ya Sef house. She is also out of the race for the Season 11 grand prize.

Nomy, whose real name is Whitney Nneoma Chukwu, is a 26-year-old fashion entrepreneur from Anambra State who was raised in Lagos. She runs the fashion brand Ambition by Witme and joined the “Show Ya Sef” house hoping to use the platform to scale her business and grow her personal brand. Known in the house for her bluntness and outspoken nature, she had spent several weeks in the competition before her disqualification.

With Nomy’s disqualification, 14 housemates remain in the “Show Ya Sef” house, all still competing for the ₦160 million grand prize as the season moves into its next stage.

Gerard has been evicted from the Big Brother Naija Season 11 house after spending six weeks in the “Show Ya Sef” edition. His journey came to an end during the sixth live eviction show on Sunday, September 6, 2026, making him the eighth housemate to leave the competition. His eviction was announced by host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.

Gerard was among 15 housemates placed on the possible eviction list in Week Six. The others were Aikou, Araga, Barry, Bells, Bluethopia, Chimsom Chuka, Flora, Keivo, Nomy, Oyin, Ricky, Temi Nkem, Tram and Yusuf. Abi, who won the Week Six Head of House title, and Sheba, the Most Influential Player of the previous week, were safe from eviction. Gerard’s exit came after the previous week’s double eviction, which saw Sultex and Goddessa leave the competition.

During his final week, Gerard came close to securing the Head of House title. He reached the deciding stage of the Week Six Head of House challenge but was defeated by Abi, who went on to claim the position.

The 23-year-old, whose full name is Gerard Adebija, entered the show as an actor, radio host, presenter and content creator. A Lagos-based media personality, he described himself as a “wild card” and said he joined Big Brother Naija for the opportunity to meet new people and have new experiences. His hobbies include gaming and reading, while he also lists rapping, singing, acting, speaking and writing among his talents.

During his six weeks in the house, Gerard became known for his direct opinions and his approach to the different conflicts playing out around him. In the days leading to his eviction, Biggie asked him which housemate he would remove if he had the power to make the decision. Gerard chose Nomy, saying she had had bad blood with people in the house from the beginning.

Speaking to Ebuka after his eviction, Gerard said he had seen his exit coming after his name was called during the house crossing. He also addressed the politics within the house, explaining that the situation had become intense but that he had chosen not to play that way. After exchanging hugs with the remaining housemates, Gerard took a bow before leaving the Big Brother house, bringing his six-week run on the show to an end.
