Reality TV star, Temi Nkem, has won the Big Brother Naija Season 11, taking home the N160m grand prize after 70 days in the “Show Ya Sef” house.
Nkem was crowned winner during the live grand finale on Sunday, October 4, after outlasting 23 other housemates who entered the competition when the season premiered on July 26.
Her victory came after weeks of tasks, nominations, evictions, twists and public voting that gradually reduced the competition to the final three.
Nkem, Sheba and Aikou were the last three housemates standing before the former was announced as the winner.
She will receive N160m, comprising N100m in cash and a brand-new SUV valued at N60m.
Nkem joins female winners of Big Brother Naija, including Mercy Eke, Phyna, Ilebaye and Imisi, who won the 2019, 2022, 2023 and 2025 editions, respectively.
She entered the Season 11 house on July 26 alongside 23 other contestants as the reality show returned for its 11th season.
Over the following weeks, housemates left through regular evictions, while twists, a disqualification and other developments reshaped the competition.
The season also featured the Gambit twist, which initially gave Aikou and Flora guaranteed places in the finale while making them ineligible for the grand prize until the twist was later overturned.
Nkem also survived a fake eviction in September, when she was temporarily removed from the house alongside Tram and Ricky before the trio were revealed to still be in the competition.
By the start of the grand finale, nine finalists were competing for the N160m prize.
One after another, the finalists were evicted during the live finale until Temi Nkem, Sheba and Aikou remained.
Nkem eventually emerged as the last housemate standing, bringing the 70-day Season 11 competition to an end.
