BBTitans: 16 Housemates Left to Battle for Ultimate Prize
Marvin and the ‘mummy of the house’ Yaya have been evicted from Big Brother Titans. While this is one of the most unexpected evictions, voting statistics showed that Maya (Marvin and Yaya) got only 5.94% of the total votes, placing them at the bottom of the table. Marvin is the first Nigerian guy to be evicted from the BBTitans show.
While the eviction was the highlight of last week in Biggie’s house, there were other incidents worthy of note.
Big Brother introduced the ‘Great divide’ rule which forbade male housemates from speaking or interacting with female housemates. The rule only allowed conversation between the opposite sex to pass through the messengers. If there was a need to speak to the opposite sex, it must go through Yaya and Marvin who were nominated as the messengers for female and male housemates respectively. This rule saw more housemates of the same gender spending more time together.
Nigerian hunk, Yemi got a taste of his own medicine last week when he caught Khosi and Thabang cuddling in bed. Nelissa who had finally shared a kiss with Thabang told Yemi, in tears, that she caught Khosi and Thabang kissing and cuddling. The fight between Yemi and Khosi turned dirty fast and angry words were exchanged.
It seems this new ship, Khosi and Thabang is because of Yemi’s insistence on putting Khosi in the friend zone after Ebuka’s revelation of how he spent time with Blue Aiva.
New beef is brewing between Nelissa and Khosi because of her involvement with Thabang. This was evident when she was telling Yemi about getting up from the sofa she was sharing with Thabang to ease herself only to return and find Khosi in her spot. We also got to see her turning down Thabang’s offer to join them on the sofa.
South African Diva, Blue Aiva is bent on moving on despite her breakup with Yemi and his efforts to block other love interests from courting her. Blue was caught kissing Blaqboi soon after promising Yemi she will stay up to wait for his kiss on Valentine’s Day.

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has said she is no longer interested in getting married again following her separation from her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, but remains determined to have a daughter.
The actress made the remarks during a livestream session with TikToker Jarvis at her Children’s Day carnival held in Asaba, Delta State.
Speaking on her current outlook on relationships and motherhood, Daniels said she has mentally moved away from the idea of marriage.
“But for some reason, I’ve checked my mind out of getting married. I’m yet to have a girl. And I must have a girl,” she said.
The mother of two explained that her desire for a daughter comes from what she described as the unique emotional bond between mothers and female children.
“I feel like motherhood starts better. Like you would understand motherhood when you have a girl child,” she said.
“So, having boys is easy because at least you can groom them to have a role model in a father figure. But for your girl child, you have to be that role model for them to emulate.”
Daniels also revealed that she initially never wanted a daughter before becoming a mother.
“Before I had my first son, I said no, never. I will never have a girl child. Never, ever. But after my first, after my second, I remember, for some reason, it’s female kids that remember,” she added.
Reflecting further on family dynamics, the actress said women tend to maintain stronger emotional ties to their homes than men.
“Men will grow, get married and focus more on building family. But for women, she will always remember home,” she said.
Daniels married Nwoko in 2019, a union that drew widespread attention because of their age difference. The couple share two sons.
Their relationship later became publicly strained in 2025 following allegations by Nwoko that the actress was battling substance abuse and required rehabilitation.
Daniels denied the claims and accused the senator of manipulation, psychological control and abuse before eventually leaving the marriage and moving into her own residence.
Organisers of Big Brother Naija have announced the opening of auditions for the show’s 11th season, unveiling registration details and requirements for prospective housemates.
In a statement on Saturday, the organisers said, “It’s time! #BBNaija Season 11 auditions registration is here,” noting that registration will run from May 16 to 20 for candidates seeking to qualify for the physical audition stage.
They explained that applicants must register via africamagic.tv/bigbrother, fill in personal details, and select preferred audition dates, locations and times, with physical auditions scheduled to hold between May 22 and 24 in Lagos, Abuja and Enugu.
According to the organisers, “AUDITION IS FREE”, and only persons aged 21 and above with valid identification documents are eligible to participate. They also warned that the registration portal will close once capacity is reached.
The statement further cautioned applicants on data usage and participation rules, noting that by submitting entries, participants grant the organisers permission to use audition materials in perpetuity and across global platforms. It also warned that multiple registrations could lead to disqualification.
The announcement comes months after the conclusion of Season 10, which returned to screens on July 26, 2025, featuring 29 housemates competing for a N150 million grand prize.
Imisi Ayanwale emerged as the winner of the season after securing 42.8 per cent of the total votes, ahead of finalists including Dede, Koyin, Sultana, Kola, Jason Jae, Mensan, Isabella and Kaybobo.
Past winners of the reality show include Mercy Eke, Laycon, Whitemoney, Kellyrae, Phyna and Ilebaye, with anticipation now building for Season 11 as viewers await possible new twists and format changes.
Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Genevieve Nnaji, is making her return to television in “Wahala”, a new six-part drama produced by BBC Studios.
The series is based on the novel “Wahala” by Nikki May and will air on BBC One, with episodes also available on BBC iPlayer.
It is adapted for television by BAFTA-nominated writer, Theresa Ikoko.
BBC confirmed the cast on Tuesday, announcing a female-led ensemble that includes Adelayo Adedayo, Deborah Ayorinde, Cush Jumbo, and Susan Wokoma, alongside Nnaji.
Set in London, Wahala follows four Nigerian-British women whose close friendship is tested as they navigate work, relationships, and family life. Their lives begin to shift when hidden secrets from the past resurface, bringing betrayal and tension to the surface.
Speaking about the project, Nnaji said: “I’m very happy to be joining Wahala and to be working with such a brilliant team. It’s an intriguing story, and I’m excited to be a part of it.”
