Big Brother Naija
Martins and Mercedes Become First Housemates Evicted from BBNaija Season 11
Martins Iyeh and Ijeoma Mercedes Emi have been evicted from the Big Brother Naija Season 11 house, becoming the first two housemates to leave the reality show.
Their exit came during the live show on Sunday, August 9, with Martins announced as the first housemate to be evicted before Mercedes followed. It was the first double eviction of the “Show Ya Sef” season, bringing an end to their stay in Biggie’s house just two weeks after the show premiered on July 26.

A total of 16 housemates had been placed on the eviction list ahead of the live show. When the voting results were announced, Martins recorded 1.63 per cent of the votes, while Mercedes polled 2.29 per cent. Keivo, who was also among those at risk, narrowly escaped eviction with a vote of 2.92 per cent, putting him ahead of both Martins and Mercedes. The result secured his place in the house for another week, while the other two housemates were asked to leave.
Nomy also received the season’s first strike, which Big Brother described as her final warning. The punishment came after Big Brother summoned the housemates and addressed Nomy over repeated violations of his instructions.

According to the explanation given during the show, Nomy had repeatedly failed to follow Big Brother’s instructions in the house. Big Brother made it clear that the housemates are expected to obey his directives rather than decide which instructions they want to follow. The strike further breaches potentially putting her position in the show at greater risk.
With Martins and Mercedes gone, 22 housemates remain in the Big Brother Naija Season 11 house.

Sultex and Goddessa Evicted From BBNaija in Double Eviction
Sultex and Goddessa have been evicted from the Big Brother Naija Season 11 house, becoming the sixth and seventh housemates to leave the competition.
Their exits came during the fifth live eviction show on Sunday, August 30, as host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced Sultex’s eviction before Goddessa was also evicted. Both housemates spent five weeks in the competition, having entered the house when the season premiered on July 26.
The public voting results placed Sultex at 4.77 per cent, while Goddessa received 5.02 per cent. Bells, who was also up for eviction, polled 5.22 per cent and managed to stay in the competition. The three were among the 14 housemates placed on the public voting list during Week Five.

Week Five brought a change to the usual nomination process. Rather than naming housemates they wanted to evict, the contestants were asked to choose those they wanted to save. Goddessa, Sheba and Aikou received the highest number of save votes. However, Head of House Chimsom Chuka exercised his veto power to save Sheba, leaving Goddessa among the housemates still at risk of public eviction.
For Sultex, the eviction came just a day after a heated confrontation involving him, Yusuf and Bells. The disagreement started between Sultex and Bells before Yusuf joined the exchange. The argument grew heated and nearly became physical. Following the incident, Big Brother placed Sultex on behavioural probation and gave him a final warning after describing some of his remarks as extremely dangerous.
The dancer, choreographer, casting director and filmmaker had earlier enjoyed one of his biggest moments in the competition when he was named the Most Influential Player of Week Three. The recognition came with immunity from the following eviction and a reward.

Goddessa, whose real name is Lovette Okechukwu Amaka, was involved in several intense conversations during her stay, particularly around her developing relationship with Araga.
Speaking with Ebuka after her eviction, Goddessa opened up about her feelings for Araga. She said she cared about him but felt there were too many expectations surrounding their relationship. According to her, she wanted both of them to have their own individual journeys outside the house. She also made it clear that leaving the show would not stop her music career, as she plans to return to making and promoting her work as a singer and songwriter.
With Sultex and Goddessa out of the competition, 17 housemates remain as the “Show Ya Sef” edition enters its sixth week, competing for the Season 11 grand prize of ₦160 million.

Everything You Missed on Big Brother Naija Week 5
Big Brother Naija Season 11’s fifth week saw Chimsom Chuka return as Head of House, a new nomination format and growing disagreements over how some housemates were handling their responsibilities.
The weekly wager also became a major talking point. Ricky and Tram opted out of the presentation, Biggie was unhappy with how the housemates handled his instructions and temporarily stopped speaking to them directly. Meanwhile, Aikou and Flora had another Gambit mission to complete, while the housemates still made time for their weekly pool party.
Chimsom Chuka Wins Head of House Again

Chimsom Chuka became Head of House for the second time this season on Monday, August 24, after defeating Gerard in the final head-to-head contest. His first HoH victory came in the opening week, and this latest win again secured his immunity from eviction.
The position also came with the power to influence the nomination process.
Biggie Changes the Nomination Process
Week 5 introduced a different nomination format. Instead of simply naming housemates they wanted out, the contestants were asked to publicly choose two people they wanted to save and explain their reasons.
The change forced the housemates to make their preferences known in front of everyone, putting friendships and alliances under greater scrutiny. After the nominations, powers and immunities were taken into account, 14 housemates remained in contention for the public vote.
14 Housemates Face Possible Eviction

The 14 housemates currently facing possible eviction are Araga, Barry, Bells, Bluethopia, Gerard, Goddessa, Keivo, Nomy, Oyin, Ricky, Sultex, Temi Nkem, Tram and Yusuf.
They are now relying on the public vote to determine who stays in the competition. With 14 names on the list, the eventual result could change the makeup of the house going into the following week.
Chimsom Uses His Power to Save Sheba

Sheba emerged as one of the biggest beneficiaries of the new nomination format after receiving the highest number of save votes during the nomination face-off. That made her eligible for protection from the Head of House.
Chimsom then used his veto power on her, taking her off the list of possible eviction candidates. The move also offered viewers another look at the relationships that could influence Chimsom’s decisions as the game progresses.
Five Housemates Are Safe

Five housemates are protected from the Week 5 eviction. Chimsom is safe because of his Head of House position, while Sheba was removed from the eviction list through his veto power.
Abi is also immune after being named the Most Influential Player of Week 4. Aikou and Flora remain protected because of their status as the season’s Gambits.
The Gambits have a guaranteed place in the finale, but they are not eligible to win the ₦160 million grand prize.
Aikou and Flora Receive Another Gambit Mission

Aikou and Flora’s unusual role continued this week when Biggie assigned the pair another secret mission. Biggie separately instructed both housemates to convince the other that they were developing genuine romantic feelings for them. They had to carry out the task while the other housemates focused on nominations, rehearsals and the weekly wager.
Their position in the game remains different from that of the other contestants. As Gambits, they must complete Biggie’s assignments while keeping their activities from interfering with the wider game.
The Wager Presentation Goes Wrong

The week’s biggest setback came during the wager presentation. Ricky and Tram did not take part after sitting out the rehearsals, leaving the rest of the housemates to deal with their absence during a task that required group participation.
The house eventually lost the wager. The decision by Ricky and Tram became a subject of discussion afterwards, with some housemates questioning why they chose not to participate in an assignment that involved everyone.
Biggie Stops Speaking Directly to the House
The situation became more tense after Biggie took issue with the housemates’ conduct. He warned them over what he considered a disregard for his instructions and disrespect towards him before stopping direct communication with the house.
A Ninja was then used to deliver Biggie’s instructions instead. The change immediately caught the housemates’ attention, and they later discussed what they needed to do to get Biggie speaking to them directly again.
Ricky and Tram Remain Part of the Drama

The disagreement over the wager continued even after the presentation. Ricky and Tram had already distanced themselves from the rehearsals, and their decision remained a topic of conversation among the other housemates.
Tram, in particular, made it clear that he was no longer interested in getting caught up in alliances or house politics. He was prepared to deal with whatever consequences came with his choices, including the possibility of eviction, as the housemates became more aware of how their relationships could affect their positions in the game.
The Pool Party Brings a Change of Mood

Despite losing the wager and dealing with Biggie’s warning, the housemates still had their weekly pool party. They spent the evening in the garden dancing, swimming and socialising after a day filled with disagreements.
The relaxed atmosphere was a contrast to the earlier tension. Housemates who had spent part of the day dealing with the wager fallout and Biggie’s reaction were later seen enjoying themselves together at the party.
With Week 5 still in progress. the 14 eligible housemates remain subject to the public vote, and there has been no Week 5 eviction result yet.
