BBNaija Season 11: Temi Nkem Emerges as Fifth Female Winner.

Temi Nkem has won the 11th season of Big Brother Naija, titled “Show Ya Sef,” after securing the highest number of votes in Sunday’s grand finale.

The 21-year-old was announced as the winner following 70 days in the house. She received 25.87 per cent of the votes, ahead of Aikou, who finished as first runner-up with 23.68 per cent. Sheba placed third with 9.80 per cent.

Temi’s victory earns her a prize package valued at ₦160 million, including ₦90 million in cash, a brand-new SUV and other sponsored prizes. The cash award was adjusted from the original ₦100 million, with ₦10 million allocated to the season’s Most Influential Player of the Week prize fund.

The finale, hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, brought the competition to a close on Sunday, October 4, 2026. The final results were revealed as the remaining housemates waited to learn their positions.

Temi was one of 24 contestants who entered the house when the season began on July 26. During her time on the show, she drew attention for her confidence, outspoken personality and distinctive British accent. Born and raised in London, she has Nigerian roots and is associated with Delta State.

Before joining the reality series, Temi was a student and lifestyle content creator. Her online videos included shopping and luxury-related content. In the house, she navigated nominations, tasks and competitions on her way to the final.

One moment that stood out to viewers came during a fake eviction near the end of the season. Instead of appearing upset, Temi smiled, waved and said “Chakam,” prompting discussion among fans. Her supporters, who called themselves the “Teminators,” campaigned and voted for her throughout the competition.

Temi’s place in the finale was secured after Barry used his Ultimate Veto Power to activate “Immunity for All,” cancelling that week’s eviction and public vote. The live finale then featured a series of evictions before Temi, Aikou and Sheba emerged as the final three.

Her win makes her the fifth woman to claim the BBNaija title. The season featured weekly nominations, wager tasks, Head of House contests and several twists. It also recorded two disqualifications and one voluntary exit, marking the first time all three occurred in a single season.

Temi’s victory brings the “Show Ya Sef” edition to a close after ten weeks of competition, entertainment and audience voting.
