1. TRAM — JOSHUA ALEKEWUMU Age: 24 State: Lagos Occupation: Author, entrepreneur, YouTuber, streamer and content creator Relationship status: Engaged Tram entered Biggie’s house with confidence and a clear warning for shippers: he is not interested in romance. He enjoys boxing, working out, reading and feeding his mind. He also believes his intuition is one of his greatest strengths, claiming that he can often sense things before they happen. Tram admits that his confidence may sometimes appear cocky or arrogant, but says there is a sweet and easygoing person underneath. He is engaged and says nothing inside the house will distract him from playing the game. Could his confidence carry him to the finale, or will it rub the other housemates the wrong way? 1 Share

2. MARTINS — MARTINS IYEH Age: 30 State: Kogi Occupation: Creative director, visual storyteller and model Martins is moving from producing local fashion shows and working on the runway to displaying his personality before millions of viewers. Basketball is his favourite hobby, while his claimed hidden talent is reading people’s minds. He is naturally curious and admits that his habit of constantly asking questions sometimes irritates people. His pre-show profile listed him as single, but he told Ebuka during the launch that he was in a relationship. Martins says he entered the house to have fun, enjoy the experience and finally receive the worldwide exposure he believes he deserves. Will the visual storyteller be able to read the housemates as easily as he claims?

3. CHIMSOM CHUKA — CHIMSOM CHUKA-OKOLI Age: 27 State: Anambra Occupation: Pharmacist and actor Relationship status: In a relationship Chimsom Chuka describes himself as patient, funny, authentic and capable of remaining calm under pressure. His hobbies include basketball, football, golf, dancing and meeting new people. He can also draw, sing, dance and imitate people—including their voices and walking styles. He jokingly claims to have a complete map of Nigeria inside his head. Although he presents himself as the season’s chilled guy, he admits that he can become very loud and occasionally listens to his intrusive thoughts. Chimsom says he joined the show because he wants to be real, have fun and prove that a housemate does not need to pretend to be entertaining. 1 Like

4. KEIVO — VICTOR IKPE Age: 27 State: Benue Occupation: Web developer Relationship status: Single Keivo describes himself as a confident jack-of-all-trades who believes no task is too big or too small for him. Outside web development, he enjoys gaming, painting and drawing. His secret talent is dancing, although he prefers not to advertise it too loudly. Keivo admits that his confidence and pride can annoy people, but says he does not allow other people’s opinions to control him. He speaks his mind, dislikes leaving disagreements unresolved and believes people should not go to bed angry. He is open to finding love in the house, but marriage is not currently part of his plan. Will his confidence become an advantage or a source of conflict?

5. SULTEX — SULTAN AREGBE-OBANIKORO Age: 24 State: Lagos Occupation: Professional dancer, choreographer, casting director and filmmaker Relationship status: Single Sultex entered the house ready to dance, entertain and say things exactly as he sees them. He enjoys gaming, dancing, table tennis and football. He describes himself as blunt and straightforward and warns that he does not believe in sugarcoating the truth. Although he strongly dislikes liars, Sultex admits that being a people pleaser can sometimes be one of his weaknesses. On launch night, he promised to bring realness, lover-boy energy and a little player-boy charm into Biggie’s house. With his confidence, dance moves and direct mouth, Sultex could become one of the season’s entertainers—or find himself inside plenty of gbas-gbos. 1 Like

6. AIKOU — AMYR YOUSUFZAI Age: 25 Location: Abuja Occupation: Backend/web developer and freelance teacher Relationship status: Official profile says single Aikou is a calm bookworm who enjoys reading, writing and spending time alone. He is adaptable, analytical and strongly values honesty. However, he admits that his quiet nature can make him appear distant or emotionless. His official profile lists him as single, but during the launch, Aikou revealed that his heart belongs to someone outside the house. He nevertheless promised to enjoy the full Big Brother experience. Before entering technology, Aikou explored music but abandoned it while searching for financial stability. He may not be the loudest person in the room, but could his calmness and observation become a powerful strategy? 2 Likes

7. GERARD — GERARD ADEBIJA Age: 23 State: Kogi; based in Lagos Occupation: Actor, radio host, presenter and content creator Relationship status: Single Gerard is an on-air personality who confidently describes himself as a bundle of talent. He enjoys gaming and reading and can rap, sing, act, write and speak confidently before an audience. He considers himself an open book and says dishonesty and manipulation are among the things he dislikes most. The bright lights and attention initially overwhelmed him during his launch entrance, but he hopes to settle into the house, meet people from different backgrounds and enjoy healthy competition. Gerard has been described as the wild card of any group. Will his communication skills help him control conversations and win viewers over?

8. ARAGA — OLUWASEYIFUNMI SOSANYA Age: 28 State: Ogun Occupation: Fashion model Relationship status: Single Araga calls himself a king, a lover of love and “Nigeria’s last standing loverboy.” He enjoys football, athletics and running, while acting is one of his hidden talents. He often creates imaginary scenes and conversations before acting them out privately in front of a mirror. Although he loves company, Araga admits that he sometimes disappears into his personal space whenever he needs to recharge. He entered Biggie’s house to break out of his shell, display his personality, chase the money and possibly find love. Shippers may already have their eyes on him, but will Araga find a genuine connection or discover that love inside Biggie’s house is another competition?

9. RICKY — PATRICK JUMBO Age: 33 State: Rivers; born and raised in Port Harcourt Occupation: Writer and filmmaker Relationship status: Single Ricky proudly introduces himself as a “bad boy by necessity” and an annoying entertainer. He enjoys storytelling, debating and supporting Manchester United. His hidden talents include singing, dancing and imitating different accents. Ricky admits that his mouth has no proper filter. He is extremely honest, highly opinionated and enjoys provoking members of Gen Z to get reactions from them. Although he finds the idea of love thrilling, he says he does not personally subscribe to it. With strong opinions and a love for debates, Ricky appears ready to challenge people and dominate conversations. Will viewers enjoy his honesty, or consider it unnecessarily provocative?

10. BARRY — MUUDUMBARI POP-YORNWIN Age: 26 Location: Abuja Occupation: Civil engineer and fashion designer Relationship status: Single Barry is a stylish and highly competitive creative who describes himself as a loverboy at heart. His hobbies include singing, acting, gaming, sports, reading, sewing and cooking. Cooking and athletics are two abilities many people may not immediately expect from him. Barry hates losing, can be extremely persistent and has zero tolerance for disrespect. He also admits that he becomes stubborn and emotional whenever he feels hurt or misunderstood. He believes his creativity, humour, ambition and mindset will make him unforgettable inside the house. Barry is open to finding love, but will his competitive nature allow him to build peaceful relationships with the other housemates?

11. YUSUF — YUSUF MUHAMMAD-AWAL Age: 25 State: Kogi Occupation: Actor, writer, model and farmer Relationship status: Single and searching Yusuf is a confident and emotional housemate who believes Big Brother Naija is more than an ordinary game. He enjoys boxing, reading, writing and meaningful conversations. He was also a talented singer while growing up. Yusuf is a strong believer in love and says he is not interested in anything mediocre when it comes to relationships. He hopes to add “loverboy” to his growing list of titles. Interestingly, he describes himself as both trustworthy and selfish—a combination that may become interesting as alliances begin to form. Will Yusuf become the season’s genuine loverboy, or will his emotional and unpredictable side take over?

12. CASSI — EZENWOKE NWOSU Age: 27 State: Abia Occupation: Entrepreneur, actor and forex trader Relationship status: Single Cassi entered the house looking for a major personal comeback. He admits that he had reached a low point in his life and believes Big Brother Naija could provide the win and fresh beginning he needs. Cassi is creative and multitalented. He can draw, paint and practise chiropractic therapy. He is also extremely organised—sometimes so organised that other people may find it irritating. He describes himself as an open book who brings big energy and has no time for pretenders. Will Cassi’s organisation and hunger for a fresh start help him remain focused, or will Biggie’s unpredictable house destroy all his carefully arranged plans? 1 Like
