Big Brother Naija Season 10 unveiled its male housemates on Sunday night, wrapping up the much-anticipated double launch weekend and setting the stage for what may be the most thrilling season yet.
The night wasn’t just about housemates—it was a showcase. Afrobeats star Shoday lit up the stage with his hit songs ‘Caution’ and ‘Hey Jago.’ Singer Taves also delivered a soulful performance of ‘Folake’ and ‘CWT,’ hyping the crowd ahead of the grand male reveal.
As always, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu stole the spotlight with his style—first donning a newspaper-print suit in tribute to Cameroonian-Nigerian music legend Prince Nico Mbarga, then switching to a regal look inspired by former Finance Minister Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, complete with a george wrapper, coral beads, and a straw hat.
During the live show, host Ebuka introduced a fresh line-up of 14 male housemates, following the earlier unveiling of 15 female contestants on Saturday, bringing the total number of housemates in Biggie’s house to 29.
Each of the new housemates brought their personality, ambition, and flavour into the reality show game—creating an instantly charged dynamic in Biggie’s house, all in a bid to win the ₦150 million grand prize.
BBN Season 10 Male Housemates

Though recently out of a relationship, he considers himself a lover boy who believes in true love. He admits he can be overly detailed when explaining things, which some people find annoying. A past regret includes getting involved with his ex-girlfriend’s sister. One of his proudest moments was performing at Small World 2019. He calls himself a “10” for his energy, creativity, and bold personality.
2. Bright Morgan (Bright Mbata), 27 – Imo State
Bright Morgan is a Nollywood actor from Imo State who describes himself as handsome, smart, and ready for all the drama Big Brother Naija has to offer. Single but a firm believer in healthy relationships, Bright is a strategic thinker, empathetic listener, and strong public speaker. He admits to laughing at serious moments, a habit that sometimes irritates others. One of his biggest regrets is relying on others to fix his emotional needs. His career highlight so far was acting alongside veteran actress Patience Ozokwo. Bright calls himself a “10” because he’s loving, grounded, honest, and driven.

Currently single, Denari says he’s avoiding commitment while on a journey of self-discovery, though he’s open to change. He admits his spontaneous indifference can put people off, and he once regrettably deceived someone. A visa rejection marked a low point in his life, but gaining independence was a major win. He calls himself a “10” for being passionate, funny, and relentless.
5. Faith (Faith Adewale), 25 – Osun State
Faith is a medical doctor and augmented reality creator from Osun State who’s entering Big Brother Naija not just for the vibes, but to lead, stir things up, and seize the platform’s opportunities. Bold and strategic, she says she can command attention with silence or spark drama with a single line. Faith is single and polyamorous, valuing honesty, consent, and emotional depth in her relationships. Her quiet people-watching habit can sometimes irritate others. A bus robbery and accident in 2017 marked a low point, while helping deliver a baby in a life-or-death surgery stands as her proudest moment. She calls herself a “10” for being riveting, competitive, and fiercely loyal.
6. Kaybobo (Kayode Oladele), 26 – Ekiti State

For him, it’s not just about fame — it’s about connecting, entertaining, and being a voice for today’s Nigerian youth. He enjoys exploring and documenting abandoned buildings and is currently single, focusing on self-growth and meaningful connections. Though some say he sounds “too educated,” Kaybobo embraces his intellect. A major setback was undergoing surgery for a torn pectoral tendon, but he bounced back stronger. His proudest moment? Earning his graduate degree and making his mum proud.
7. Kayikunmi (Oluwakayikunmi Ajibade), 25 – Ekiti State
Kayikunmi is a banker from Ekiti State stepping into the Big Brother Naija house for the money, fame, and creative fulfilment. He’s out to entertain, push boundaries, and isn’t shy about stirring a bit of drama. He enjoys polo, working out, and playing video games. Though very single, he’s open to finding love in the house. People often find him annoyingly loud, troublesome, and fond of minding others’ business. He shares a close bond with his family — his dad, whom he calls an “outsider,” joins him for clubbing and polo, while his mum is a calm, homely beauty. His siblings, he says, are the best people he knows.
8. Kola (Kolapo Omotosho), 28 – Ekiti State
Kola is a quality assurance analyst and content creator from Ekiti State who’s entering Big Brother Naija to challenge stereotypes and connect with people in a real, unfiltered way.

A major turning point in his life was relocating to Canada, where he started afresh and built a solid career in tech while growing his personal brand. He admits to once breaking a heart and dodging accountability, but says he now leads with honesty. His habit of always wanting to be right tends to rub people the wrong way, but he’s learning to choose peace over ego.

Though single, he still believes in love despite finding modern relationships confusing. Known for his pride and habit of snubbing people — especially girls — he owns it without apology. A major setback was losing a modelling gig he thought he’d landed, but his biggest win came in 2023 when he was cast in a global brand campaign.
10. Otega (Oghenetega Eritomi), 32 – Delta State
Otega is a chef, photographer, and developer from Delta State stepping into the Big Brother Naija house to challenge himself in a fresh environment. Formerly in tech, he found a deeper purpose in food, which he describes as a powerful way to connect with people through culture and emotion. Though creative and grounded, he admits his quiet detachment and aversion to surface-level energy can make him seem distant. One of his biggest regrets is walking away from love without explanation — a decision he now sees as avoidance rather than strength. His strategy in the house is to lead with authenticity, creativity, and depth.
11. Kuture (Unekwuojo Godswill Ameh), 27 – Kogi State
Kuture is a sailor and marine logistics expert from Kogi State who’s bringing bold energy to the Big Brother Naija house. Confident in his appeal, he says his presence alone will keep viewers glued. Multi-talented, he plays drums, designs clothes and interiors, and was top of his class in English and the arts. Single “till he’s made,” Kuture believes in speaking the truth, even when it rubs people the wrong way. His biggest regret is not staying fit, despite once criticising a friend for gaining weight.

Now, he’s all about seizing every moment and bringing his energy to the spotlight.
13. Rooboy (Kayode Olatunde), 29 – Ogun State
Rooboy is a hypeman, actor, and performer from Ogun State who’s ready to bring fire, fun, and full-on energy to Big Brother Naija. With a natural flair for leadership and charisma, he says he’s not just here to play — he’s here to leave a mark. Loud, blunt, and unapologetically himself, Rooboy admits his high energy and raw honesty can be a lot for some people. He once cut off someone close without hearing their side, a decision he now regrets. His biggest breakthrough came when he stopped doubting himself and embraced his power to overcome anything.
14. Victory Okokon, 28 – Akwa Ibom
Victory is a psychologist from Akwa Ibom who sees life as a movie and believes Big Brother Naija is the perfect stage to show his vibrant, real self. He describes himself as a deviant who doesn’t follow norms just for the sake of it. He loves cooking, cleaning, partying, and enjoys healthy arguments—even if they annoy people. Though being independent has been tough, he finds joy in building strong relationships and growing emotionally.
