Temi Nkem has emerged as the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 11, bringing the 70-day reality television competition to an end.
Temi was announced as the winner during the live grand finale on Sunday night, defeating eight other finalists to claim the season’s ₦160 million prize package.
Aikou finished as the first runner-up, while Sheba emerged as the second runner-up.
The season, themed “Show Ya Sef,” began on July 26 with 24 housemates competing for the grand prize.
Nine contestants eventually reached the finale: Temi Nkem, Aikou, Sheba, Bluethopia, Flora, Oyin, Ricky, Tram and Barry.
Barry became the first finalist to be evicted during Sunday’s finale, with further eliminations gradually reducing the field until Temi, Aikou and Sheba emerged as the final three.
Temi ultimately secured the highest share of the final public vote to become the winner of the 11th season of the reality television show.
Her victory earns her the season’s ₦160 million prize package and concludes more than two months of competition involving weekly tasks, nominations, public voting, evictions and other challenges.
The finale officially brought the 2026 edition of Big Brother Naija to a close, with Temi succeeding the previous winner as the latest champion of the franchise.
