The ‘ten over ten’ season of Big Brother Naija is rolling into its climax.

With less than two weeks to go, the ₦150 million dream is in sight, and tensions have reached fever pitch.

Week 9 opened just days after the shock exits of Thelma Lawson, Bright Morgan, Joanna, and Kuture.

Only 13 housemates remain from the original 29 who walked in during the two-day launch at the end of July.

With 10 contestants nominated for possible eviction, the house no longer feels like a game but a final battleground.

Friendships are still standing the test of time, alliances crack, and every task could tip a housemate into fame or eviction.

This week delivered an unpredictable mix of strikes, spilled secrets, tears, and euphoric wins.

Drama peaked on Thursday night when a team task turned sour.

Zita accused Rooboy of sabotaging Team Pineapple, threw a plate of Indomie noodles at him, and received a double strike from Biggie.

“For your actions, you’re hereby issued a double strike. One more strike and you will be disqualified from Big Brother’s house. Do you understand?” Biggie warned.

Zita replied, “Yes, Big Brother.” The entire lounge chorused “Yes, Big Brother” as Biggie reminded them that “violence has no place here.”

“Conflicts will happen, but violence has no place here,” Biggie had said.

Rooboy retaliated with a hit that shocked viewers, but Biggie placed the heavier penalty on Zita. By Friday morning, she apologised to Rooboy, who said he had moved on but was “wary of friendships that ignite such strong reactions.”

In a dramatic twist, the first three finalists of the season were confirmed.

Sultana clinched the Head of House position from faith, earning her automatic immunity for the coming eviction.

Mensan was voted the Most Influential Player of the Week, proving that social sway pays off.

Kaybobo secretly bought his finale ticket for ₦10 million via the Red Telephone and was asked by the contacted agent to keep it a secret.”

The trio’s guaranteed spots lit a fire under the rest of the house as the scramble for the remaining slots intensified. The hand-biting moment set tongues wagging over who would be the next housemate to bid the show goodbye.

Faith claimed the Interim HoH crown for the third time, picking Mensan as his condo partner.

The contest featured three stages and ended with Faith beating Zita in the final round. Yet his week turned stormy.

Annoyed by “noisy antics,” he tore up the Wager Presentation script and dumped it in the bin.

After a sharp response from housemates, he went silent, communicating only through hand gestures. Isabella jabbed him with “the ship will sail with or without you,” but Faith stayed mute.

Isabella also stole headlines. She landed a microphone infringement warning while trying to get a kiss from Mensan. “Just ki$$ me. It’s not that deep,” she pleaded.

Mensan refused, saying, “I don’t know how to kiss,” and tried to leave as Isabella blocked the door.

Koyin triggered chaos with a Red Telephone prank.

After a secret call from Agent X, he told housemates he would be evicted on Friday morning and had to choose one person to leave with him. His pick was Dede.

She screamed, Mide begged him to say it was a joke, and the house went into meltdown before Koyin broke character.

They won as a house and earned a royal shopping reward for the coming week.

Karaoke sessions exposed both hidden and non-existent singing skills, giving viewers comic relief amid the tension.

As Week 9 closed, Sultana, Mensan, and Kaybobo stood as the first confirmed finalists.

Eleven other housemates faced eviction danger after Sultana, who won Head of House, chose not to use her Tree of Trinkets to save a fellow housemate’s power. This move led viewers to see her decision as a strategic play.

With just one week and a few days left before the October 5 finale, every diary session, nomination, and decision counts.

On Sunday’s love show, viewers will decide who stays to chase the highly coveted title and who must leave Biggie’s house.

The crown and ₦150 million prize will soon belong to one housemate, but for now, the BBNaija 10/10 house is still a cauldron of strategy, scandal, and survival.

Celebrity lawyer Rita Amy Aduba has weighed in on the reported child custody dispute involving actress Regina Daniels and her estranged husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, explaining the conditions the actress must reportedly meet before gaining access to their two sons.

Speaking in a video, Aduba said she reviewed a 15-page High Court judgment, which she claimed granted Regina supervised access to the children rather than denying her visitation rights.

According to the lawyer, the court ordered that Regina’s visits be supervised by the Abuja Social Welfare Office, stressing that neither parent should be excluded from the children’s lives.

Aduba listed the reported conditions contained in the judgment as follows:
Regina’s access to the children must be supervised by the Abuja Social Welfare Office.

The visits must ensure the children are protected from harm.

She is reportedly prohibited from bringing the children into contact with four named individuals: Samuel Ojeugu, Destiny Ojeofo, Ngozi Aniote Izuegu and Ijeoma Josephine Otabofina, popularly known as Phyna.

Temporary custody of the children remains with Senator Ned Nwoko pending the determination of the case.

Regina is required to undergo confirmatory drug tests at designated laboratories to establish that she is free from substance abuse.

She must also demonstrate that she is mentally fit during visits with the children.

Aduba maintained that the court’s decision was aimed at protecting the welfare of the children while preserving the parental rights of both parties.

Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, is facing possible deportation from South Africa after the country’s Department of Home Affairs alleged that she is living in the country without legal status.

The 25-year-old appeared before the Cape Town Regional Court on June 9 after being arrested in the Summer Greens area. She was released on warning and is expected to return to court on July 16 as immigration authorities continue legal proceedings seeking her deportation.

According to court documents, immigration officer Adrian Jackson said officials found Adetshina and her minor son during an investigation and determined that neither currently holds valid legal status to remain in South Africa.

Jackson said officials interviewed Adetshina and searched the department’s records before concluding that she has no lawful residential status. He asked the court to confirm her detention for deportation.

The case follows an earlier decision by Home Affairs Minister Dr. Leon Schreiber, who in March dismissed Adetshina’s application to review the refusal of her request for a letter of good cause.

According to the minister, Adetshina was informed in September 2024 of plans to cancel her and her son’s South African identity documents but failed to respond.

Schreiber further alleged that she obtained a Nigerian passport before applying for a South African visitor’s visa, which was rejected after officials claimed she submitted a fraudulent bank statement. He said she did not appeal the decision and was later declared a prohibited person under South African immigration laws.

The minister also alleged that Adetshina later entered South Africa through the Lebombo border from Mozambique while presenting herself as a South African citizen. He added that her son’s immigration status depends on hers.

As part of her release conditions, Adetshina must remain at the address where she was arrested and notify immigration authorities of any changes to her residence, employment or movements while the case is pending.
