After 10 weeks of intense competition, emotional highs and lows, heated arguments, budding romances, and strategic gameplay, the 10th season of Big Brother Naija has reached its final stretch. With just nine housemates left standing out of the original 29, the stage is set for what promises to be a thrilling grand finale this Sunday.

Themed “10/10,” this landmark season lived up to its title with premium drama, unpredictable twists, and unforgettable moments that have kept viewers glued since it premiered on July 26, 2025. With a staggering ₦140 million prize comprising cash and other rewards at stake, only one housemate will walk away with the life-changing reward and the title of BBNaija Season 10 winner.

Drama, Disqualification, and Defining Moments

The journey to the finale has not been without controversy. One of the biggest shakeups came just weeks before the finale, when Faith Adewale was disqualified for physically assaulting fellow housemate Sultana, a move that shocked viewers and served as a reminder of Biggie’s zero-tolerance rule on violence.

From heated arguments to surprise alliances and unexpected evictions, this season has seen it all. But beyond the chaos, several housemates rose above the noise — some by sheer personality, others by playing the long, strategic game.

Now, with the final vote in motion, millions of fans across Nigeria and beyond are left to wonder: Who will emerge victorious?

Meet the Final Nine

Sultana The Emotional Anchor
25-year-old Farida ‘Sultana’ Ibrahim has been central to the season’s most memorable moments. Known for her emotional intelligence, she connected deeply with fellow housemates and viewers alike. Her resilience after her altercation with Faith, and her brief romance with Koyin, showcased her strength and vulnerability  a balance that could earn her the crown.

Mensan The Silent Strategist
Mensan, a 29-year-old lawyer from Rivers, has remained calm, composed, and highly intelligent throughout the game. Twice voted “Most Influential Player,” his quiet yet methodical approach to the competition made him a dark horse. In a house dominated by loud personalities, Mensan’s silence often spoke louder.

Dede The Firebrand
Precious ‘Dede’ Ashiogwu, 23, from Delta, brought the spice. Her unapologetic attitude, fierce confidence, and no-nonsense approach made her both loved and criticised. From fiery clashes to viral one-liners like the “three fishes” remark, Dede’s presence has never gone unnoticed. Her polarising nature could play in her favour if controversy translates into curiosity and votes.

Imisi The People’s Favourite
Oyo-born Imisi, affectionately called the “funny queen,” won over fans with her raw humour, authenticity, and relatability. Whether cracking jokes or showing vulnerability, the 23-year-old actor made viewers laugh and connect. Her “be yourself” strategy worked well, with several evicted housemates tipping her as the likely winner.

Isabella The Quiet Charmer
29-year-old Isabella Georgewill is elegance personified. A single mother from Rivers, she combined charm with emotional maturity. Her subtle flirtation and level-headedness kept her relevant without needing controversy. Her early openness about her intentions set her apart, and her composed gameplay could appeal to fans who prefer calm over chaos.

Jason Jae The Mastermind
Ayomide ‘Jason Jae’ James, a creative director from Ondo, played the game like a chessboard. From smart alliances to task wins, he emerged as the season’s final Head of House a power move that could boost his chances. His loyalty, shown by picking Sultana as his guest, added a personal layer to his calculated approach. If fans vote based on strategy and leadership, Jason is a top contender.

Kaybobo The Bold Gambler
In one of the boldest moves in BBNaija history, 26-year-old Kayode ‘Kaybobo’ Oladele used ₦10 million from the prize pool to buy immunity and secure a spot in the finale. The American football player from Ekiti shocked fans and housemates alike with the gamble, which sparked debates on whether it was desperation or genius. His quiet, focused nature contrasts with his risky gameplay, making him one of the season’s most intriguing figures.

Kola The Steady Hand
Kola Omotosho, 28, also from Ekiti, played a slow and steady game. Despite not grabbing headlines often, he survived numerous evictions and earned respect for his consistent behaviour. His low-drama relationship with Dede provided moments of insight into his character. Whether fans see him as underrated or forgettable remains to be seen.

Koyin The Lover Boy
Koyinsola ‘Koyin’ Sanusi, the youngest finalist at 21, charmed his way to the finale with romance, humour, and youthful energy. His involvement with both Sultana and Isabella kept him in the spotlight, while his playful nature won him a strong fanbase known as the “Koyinstars.” His appeal among Gen Z viewers could give him an edge in the final vote.

Who Will Take the Crown?

As the countdown to the finale begins, several names are being thrown around as favourites. Imisi, with her relatability and fan love, is seen as a strong frontrunner. Jason Jae’s smart gameplay, Sultana’s emotional depth, and Koyin’s popularity also place them in contention.

Meanwhile, Kaybobo’s high-stakes gamble, Dede’s firebrand persona, and Mensan’s quiet strategy offer compelling underdog narratives that could sway last-minute votes.

In a season that has defied predictions at every turn, it’s still anyone’s game. As viewers prepare to cast their final votes and host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu readies to announce the winner this Sunday, one thing remains clear: for one housemate, life is about to change forever.
