Big Brother Naija Season 10 has officially produced its top 10 finalists ahead of the grand finale scheduled for Sunday. The finalists are Kola, Imisi, Isabella, Sultana, Jason Jae, Mensan, Koyin, Kaybobo, Dede, and Faith. Their qualification came after the eviction of Mide, Zita, and Rooboy during Sunday’s live eviction show hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
The journey to the finale has not been easy for the housemates. With 29 contestants entering the house at the start of the season, every week has tested their strength, strategy, and resilience. From emotional breakdowns to heated confrontations, each housemate had to navigate personal struggles while entertaining millions of viewers.
The odds these finalists faced were significant. For Sultana, leadership pressure came with her current Head of House role, while Mensan battled the heavy expectations of being seen as the most influential housemate. Kaybobo survived not by votes but through the controversial “red phone twist” that secured him a place in the finale but cost the prize pot N10 million. Such challenges reflect how unpredictable the game has been.
Others like Faith and Isabella had to deal with image perception, particularly over conflicts and flirtations that became talking points among fans. Dede and Imisi, though less controversial, had to remain consistent to avoid eviction week after week, proving that quiet strength can sometimes be a winning strategy.
The evicted housemates also showed how tough the odds were. Mide admitted she had to overcome loneliness after Bright Morgan’s exit.
Zita balanced her personal struggles with her on-screen relationship with Danboskid, while Rooboy now looks to channel his energy into acting and sports development. Their stories remind viewers that BBNaija is more than a game; it is a platform that reshapes lives.
As the top 10 prepare for the final showdown, the challenge ahead is not just about winning the prize but about leaving a lasting impression. The odds may seem uneven, with fan favorites already standing out, but BBNaija history has shown that surprises often happen at the last minute.
What remains clear is that each of the top 10 has beaten the odds to get here. Whatever happens on Sunday, their journey proves that BBNaija is not only a test of popularity but also of resilience, adaptability, and survival under pressure.
