The Big Brother Naija live nominations show delivered a rollercoaster of emotions, unexpected twists, and high-stakes drama that had both housemates and viewers on the edge of their seats. From hidden immunity envelopes and last-minute saves to the shock announcement of 23 housemates up for possible eviction, the night was nothing short of electrifying. Rooboy’s rise as the most influential housemate, Tracy’s power move as Head of House, and the mysterious arrival of the red telephone have set the stage for a week of intense gameplay, shifting alliances, and unpredictable turns. Here’s a full breakdown of everything that went down in the house and why the competition just got more heated than ever.
The Big Brother Naija Night of Twists and Tension
The Big Brother Naija live nominations show tonight was anything but ordinary. From secret envelopes to surprise saves, and a brand-new twist that has everyone talking, the housemates were left both excited and anxious about what lies ahead.
The evening began with Ninja walking into the house, holding a sealed envelope, and handing it over to Big Brother Naija’s Rooboy, who had earlier been declared the most influential housemate. Big Brother instructed him to open it in front of everyone, and to the surprise (and envy) of many, it contained IMMUNITY.
That meant Rooboy was officially safe from eviction this week.
The 10-Minute Envelope Hunt
Big Brother, never one to let things cool down, revealed that 24 envelopes had been hidden in different spots around the house. Each housemate had precisely 10 minutes to find and open one.
Here’s what some of the envelopes revealed
- Victory – Better luck next time
- Zita – Better luck next time
- Big Soso – Better luck next time
- Bright – Better luck next time
- Thelma Lawson – Better luck next time
- …and the list continued with no immunity found.
One twist came when Otega found an envelope with IMMUNITY, but unfortunately for him, the clock had run out. Big Brother made it clear: rules are rules.
The Automatic Nomination
Isabella, nicknamed the snail of the house for her slow performance in the head of house challenge this week, was automatically nominated for eviction after coming last in the Head of House challenge.
Meanwhile, Tracy held on to her position as Head of House (HOH), granting her automatic immunity.
The Big Brother Naija Tracy’s “Save Only One” Power
As if the night needed more suspense, Big Brother asked Tracy to pick a piece of paper from the “tree of fate.”
It read: SAVE ONLY ONE. Without much hesitation, Tracy chose to save Kuture from possible eviction.
That decision brought the immunity list to:
Tracy (HOH)
Rooboy (Most Influential)
Kuture (Saved by HOH)
23 Big Brother Naija Housemates on the Chopping Block
With three housemates safe, the remaining 23 housemates are officially up for possible eviction this week.
Big Brother also dropped some good news: their collective performance had increased the grand prize by ₦ 7,500,000, making the total earnings ₦17,500,000. That announcement was met with cheers, but the joy was short-lived with the looming nominations ahead.
The Big Brother Naija Red Telephone Twist
In classic Big Brother style, a brand-new element was introduced: the red telephone.
Big Brother explained that at any time, the red telephone could ring. The closest housemate must pick it up immediately and follow the instructions, no matter how unusual or challenging they may be. This mysterious twist has the entire house on edge, as no one knows what kind of surprises (or trouble) could be on the other end of the line.

What’s Next For The Big Brother Naija Housemates?
With the house now more unpredictable than ever, alliances will be tested, strategies will be adjusted, and emotions will run high. Viewers will be watching closely to see how the 23 nominated housemates handle the pressure.
Who will survive the eviction? Who will crack under the pressure? And what’s the real power of the red telephone?
One thing is sure: Big Brother Naija 2025 just got a whole lot more intense.
