Temi Nkem has emerged as the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 11, tagged “Show Ya Sef”.
Gatekeepers News reports that Temi Nkem was announced as the winner during the grand finale of the reality television show on Sunday, October 4, 2026.
Temi Nkem emerged as the winner after spending 71 days in the Big Brother Naija house and surviving weeks of nominations, evictions and twists introduced during the season.
She defeated the other eight finalists — Aikou, Barry, Bluethopia, Flora, Oyin, Ricky, Sheba and Tram — to claim the grand prize.
The finale saw the finalists evicted one after another, with Barry leaving first, followed by Oyin, Ricky, Flora, Tram and Bluethopia. Bluethopia’s exit left Aikou, Sheba and Temi Nkem as the final three.
The Season 11 winner will receive a prize package worth N160 million, comprising N100 million in cash and a car valued at N60 million.
The “Show Ya Sef” edition began on July 26, 2026, with 24 housemates entering the Big Brother house.
The season featured several twists, including the Gambit format, which initially affected Aikou and Flora before their Gambit status was later removed, making them eligible for the grand prize.
Another major twist came when Barry used his Ultimate Veto Power to choose “Immunity For All”, sending the remaining housemates directly into the finale.
The season also witnessed the disqualification of Keivo following a physical confrontation with Tram. Nomy was also disqualified earlier in the competition after repeated breaches of Big Brother’s rules.
The finale featured performances by Nigerian music stars Teni and Oshamo.
The announcement brings to an end the 11th season of Big Brother Naija, one of Nigeria’s most-watched reality television shows.
