Big Brother Naija Season 11 has entered its final stage with all 10 remaining housemates securing places in the finale after Barry exercised his Ultimate Veto Power to grant everyone immunity from eviction.
The development came after Barry, the Ultimate Veto Power holder, was given two options during the Week Nine nomination process: Immunity for All or Immunity for None.
Barry chose Immunity for All, protecting every remaining housemate from eviction and effectively cancelling the public voting process for the week.
Big Brother had instructed Barry to keep his decision secret, leaving the other housemates unaware that their places in the finale had already been secured.
The 10 finalists are Aikou, Barry, Bluethopia, Flora, Keivo, Oyin, Ricky, Sheba, Temi Nkem and Tram.
The development brought the season’s regular eviction process to an end, with the remaining housemates set to compete for the grand prize in the finale.

However, Sunday’s live show introduced another twist when host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced the eviction of Ricky, Tram and Temi Nkem.
The three housemates were later moved to a secret room, making the eviction a fake one rather than an actual elimination from the competition. Africa Magic described the development as fake evictions involving the trio.
The twist left the housemates and viewers uncertain about what would happen next, with Ricky, Tram and Temi Nkem awaiting further instructions from Big Brother in the secret room.
The purpose of the secret-room twist had not been disclosed in the reports available after the live show.
Barry’s Ultimate Veto decision had earlier changed the structure of Week Nine by ensuring that every housemate still in the competition received immunity.
The choice also meant there was no public vote to determine who would leave the house during the week, officially confirming the Top 10 finalists.
Keivo had earlier won the Week Nine Head of House title, securing immunity and selecting Aikou as his Loft mate, while Oyin became the week’s Benchwarmer.
The season began with 24 housemates on July 26, while Neche later left voluntarily and Nomy was disqualified. Several other housemates have since been evicted as the competition progressed towards the finale.
The Season 11 finale is scheduled for October 4, with the winner set to receive a ₦160 million grand prize, the biggest prize in the history of the reality show.
The remaining finalists will now continue their final-week activities as the competition enters its concluding stage.
