- On the electrifying night of August 18, the BBNaija house was thrown into a frenzy as four pairs of housemates found themselves in the crosshairs of eviction
- The evening’s tension was masterfully cranked up by the ever-dramatic Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, who didn’t just announce the nominees but dropped a bombshell with a clip that laid bare all the week’s scheming, betrayals, and raw emotions.
- But what truly ignited the evening was the explosive moment when Wanni and Handi’s biting mockery of Streeze and Flourish’s eviction sent shockwaves through the house, added fuel to the fire of an already drama-filled night
The ninth edition of the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality show escalated to a whole new level of intensity on the unforgettable night of August 18, when Streeze and Flourish were shown the exit door.
It was a night where alliances crumbled and tensions soared, as four pairs of housemates found themselves teetering on the brink of eviction, their futures decided by a ruthless voting process.
The night’s drama was orchestrated by the ever-charismatic Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, who didn’t just announce the bottom pairs, but laid their fates bare for all to see.
Among those in the danger zone were Flourish, consisting of Flora Chiedo, aka DJ Flo, and Ruth Akpan, aka Rhuthee; Streeze, made up of Toby Forge and Mayowa Adewunmi, aka Mayor Frosh; Radicals, featuring Fairme David and Mickey; and Beta, comprising Tjay and Ben.
In a moment of intense relief, Beta was spared, leaving the remaining pairs to battle it out for survival in the house.
The tension was palpable as housemates were then called upon to vote for the two pairs that would be sent packing.
When the dust settled, it was the Streeze pair, Mayor and Tobi, who were first to face the bitter taste of eviction. But the night was far from over, as the tension skyrocketed when Flourish—Ruthie, and DJ Flo—were announced as the second pair to be evicted.
But the real bombshell of the night came not from the evictions themselves, but from the venomous aftermath. Wanni and Handi, who had recently locked horns with Ruthie, seized this moment of vulnerability to unleash a torrent of mockery. Wanni’s scathing taunt, “Watch me from home, bi*ch,” echoed through the house, turning a moment of despair into a spectacle of humiliation.
The audacity of their cruel words didn’t just stir the house—it ignited a firestorm online, with netizens condemning the pair’s unnecessary and brutal jabs.

As if the night wasn’t intense enough, Ebuka dropped another bombshell, announcing the end of the custodianship within the house, marking the conclusion of an era.
The Head of House (HOH) ballot system also saw its final curtain call, as housemates will now have to engage in a proper HOH challenge moving forward. And to add even more stakes to the game, HOH immunity will be back in play starting Monday, August 19.
