BBNaija Season 11 Introduces Twist as Week Ends Without Eviction

Organisers of Big Brother Naija Season 11 have announced that this week will be a non-eviction week for housemates.

This comes after Biggie had earlier put up all 23 housemates for possible eviction, with the exception of the Head of House, Chimsom.

The fresh announcement was made on Monday via the show’s official social media page.

According to the update, viewers will instead be asked to vote for one male and one female housemate to take on a new role referred to as “The Gambit.”

Organisers explained that the role carries significant influence within the house and guarantees the chosen housemates a spot in the competition until the season ends.

However, whoever is selected as The Gambit will not be eligible to win the grand prize.

Despite this restriction, the statement noted that housemates given the role will remain full participants, taking part in all tasks, games and activities, and will still be eligible for weekly prizes and other rewards.

The 10-week BBNaija Season 11, themed “Show Ya Sef,” began on Sunday with 24 housemates.

BBNaija Season 11 Unveils First Head of House With Shocking Twist

Chimsom Chuka has emerged as the first Head of House in Big Brother Naija Season 11 after topping the opening challenge, while Tram secured a place in the Head of House lounge through a lucky dip, picked Sheba to share it with him, and Abi was named Deputy Head of House.

The contest took place on Monday, the first full day of the season, with male and female housemates competing separately before their overall performances were compared.

Chimsom posted the fastest overall time to clinch the Head of House title.

Under a new twist introduced this season, though, winning the challenge no longer automatically grants access to the Head of House lounge, even though it still comes with immunity from eviction.

Instead, organisers introduced a Lucky Dip Box, which required the new Head of House to randomly draw the name of a fellow housemate who would occupy the exclusive lounge for the week.

Chimsom’s draw produced Tram, granting him lounge access.

Tram was then allowed to pick another housemate to share the space with him and chose Sheba.

Although Tram and Sheba will spend the week in the Head of House lounge, Chimsom’s prize for winning remains eviction immunity along with the leadership powers that come with the position.

Abi, a chef and model from Osun State, placed second overall in the challenge and was announced as Deputy Head of House.

Ahead of entering the house, Chimsom, a 27-year-old pharmacist and actor from Anambra State, had said his greatest asset in the competition would be staying true to himself.

In his pre-show introduction, he expressed hope that viewers would relate to his genuine personality rather than a calculated strategy.

The new twist is one of the standout features of the “Show Ya Sef” edition of the show, effectively separating eviction immunity from residence in the Head of House lounge.

As at the time of this report, housemates were still going through the nomination process ahead of the next phase of the competition.

Ilebaye’s Father Breaks Silence After Viral Assault Video, Explains Why He Beat BBNaija Star

The father of former Big Brother Naija winner Ilebaye, Mr. Odinia Emmanuel Godson, has publicly addressed the circumstances that reportedly led to his physical assault of his daughter.

In a confession video that has since gone viral, shared by a journalist on Facebook, Mr. Godson offered his account of events. He acknowledged the widespread public reaction to the incident, both supportive and critical, and expressed gratitude to Nigerians at home and abroad for their responses.

He insisted that his actions were not born out of a lack of love for his daughter, pointing to the quality of education he provided her as evidence of his devotion. He described her as one of his best children.

Mr. Godson recalled that when Ilebaye expressed interest in participating in the Big Brother Naija show, he supported her and even mobilized his network of contacts within and outside Nigeria to vote for her during her second appearance on the show in 2023.

He claimed that his personal efforts accounted for over 75 percent of her support, which he credited as instrumental to her eventual victory.

However, he expressed disappointment that after her win, his expectations of her were not met. He explained that in his culture, a parent is expected to correct a child before the situation deteriorates, but lamented that Ilebaye had become increasingly unwilling to heed his guidance.

This comes after DAILY POST had earlier reported that Ilebaye took to Instagram Live in the early hours of Friday to appeal to the public for help, alleging domestic violence and physical assault.

She appeared on the livestream with a visibly swollen face, crying and screaming for help, while a man believed to be her father was allegedly seen assaulting her in the background.

She wrote: “I love Nigerian men because you guys are homophobic until it’s time to ask your girlfriends for thr£esomes. you guys are not real.”

Why I Never Wanted To Give Birth – BBNaija Star, Queen Mercy Reflects As She Celebrates Motherhood

In celebration of Mother’s Day, former Big Brother Naija housemate Queen Mercy Atang opened up about a side of herself that few knew.

The reality star revealed that, years ago, she never imagined herself becoming a mother because the idea of giving birth terrified her.

Reflecting on it now, she can’t help but laugh at her younger self, acknowledging how life has a way of changing one’s perspective.

“Motherhood has been such an incredible journey,” Queen Mercy shared. “Funny enough, years ago, I used to say I never wanted to give birth because I was so scared.

“Now, when I think about it, I just laugh at myself. Life really has a way of changing your mind.”

Now, all Queen Mercy wants is to be the best mother she can be. She explained that motherhood has transformed her, making her more focused, resilient, and motivated to work hard to build a future her children will be proud of. Even during sleepless nights and exhausting days, the love she feels for her children makes it all worthwhile.

“Motherhood has made me more focused, more resilient, and more motivated to work hard and build a future my kids will be proud of,” she said. “Even on the days when I’m tired and running on little sleep, the love makes it all worth it. Thank you, God, for this beautiful experience. I’m forever grateful.”

Queen Mercy also took the opportunity to celebrate mothers everywhere, sending out warm wishes and heartfelt prayers for strength and guidance.

She wrote: “Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mothers around the world. Take your flowers, mommies—you deserve them and so much more. May God continue to bless us with wisdom, strength, patience (because we definitely need it), and the grace to keep being the amazing mothers our children need.”

Her candid reflection serves as a reminder that motherhood is a journey full of surprises, growth, and unconditional love, and that even fears of the past can evolve into the most rewarding experiences.

82 Makeovers In 8 Hours, 143 Makeovers In 24 Hours – BBNaija Star, Tacha Shows Off Guinness World Record Plaques

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Tacha Akide has shared photos of her Guinness World Record plaque, celebrating her accomplishment of completing 82 makeovers in 8 hours and 143 makeovers in 24 hours, surpassing the previous record of 64 makeovers in 8 hours.

Akide, who broke the record books, dedicated her achievement to her late mother, Stella, who passed away 12 years ago.

She wrote on Instagram, “Records are broken. Some records are made. And some are made with purpose in suits like this from @prudent_gabriel.

“82 makeovers in 8 hours. 143 makeovers in 24 hours. This wasn’t just about speed… it was about impact, dedication, and a decade of showing up for my craft. 10 years of building. 10 years of believing. 10 years of becoming.

“And today, the plaques say it all. Thank you to the SA @connectwithlagos for your unending support. The fastest makeup artist in the world”.

The accomplished makeup artist, now recognised as the fastest in the world, credits her mother for teaching her the skills that led to this achievement.

“Thinking of you, mummy. I lost my mum, Stella, 12 years ago. My mom taught me everything I know today. Deep down, I wouldn’t be anything like who I am today if it weren’t for her. Every step, every win, every milestone… I wish I could run to you and say: Mummy, see… see what I did.”

“Makeup… my first love. The love that grew into passion. The passion that has now birthed 2 Guinness World Records. The hardest part of moments like this is knowing I can’t see you, I can’t hug you, I can’t call you and say: “Mummy, your daughter is breaking boundaries.”

“Mummy, I miss you so much. I wish you were here to see this. But I know you’re watching me. Your daughter did it. Grateful. Focused. Just getting started”, she concluded.
