Big Brother Naija housemates Daniel Olatunji, popularly known as Danboskid, and Ibifubara Davies have been evicted from the ongoing 10/10 season, becoming the first two contestants to leave the show.
Danboskid was the first to exit, followed shortly by Ibifubara, whose departure made her the second housemate to bid farewell to the competition.
The reality stars were asked to leave the house on Sunday night during the live eviction show after pulling the lowest votes for the week.
According to the voting charts displayed after the show, they secured just 0.65 per cent and 0.325 per cent of viewer votes, respectively, making them the least saved among this week’s 27 nominees. Denari narrowly escaped eviction.
Earlier in the week, Big Brother had asked all housemates, except Victory, the Head of House, to search for a red envelope containing an immunity card. None found it, leading to their automatic nomination for eviction.
Victory was later asked to save one housemate after picking a card on the newly introduced ‘Tree of Trinkets’ and chose Kayikunmi.
This week’s nominations marked a dramatic shift from Week one’s fake eviction twist, when all housemates enjoyed immunity. The show’s organisers opened voting on 3 August and closed the process on 7 August.
Sunday’s eviction began with Danboskid being announced as the first housemate to leave the season. He received a warm hug from his close ally, Zita, before the housemates hailed him with “three gbosa”.
On stage, the 25-year-old entrepreneur, actor, and model from Ekiti State revealed plans for a Nollywood career and hinted at continuing his romance with Zita outside the house.
The second eviction of the night saw Ibifubara bid farewell to the competition. Reflecting on her time in the house, the 28-year-old psychologist admitted the week had been “a little lonely” and that she often felt she was giving more in her friendships than she was receiving.
Before the double exit, host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu recapped the week’s drama, from Bread-gate accusations and confrontations to unexpected kissing sprees.
Thelma Lawson, who won the Head of House crown after last Sunday’s show, quickly asserted herself before losing the title to Victory on Monday.
Rooboy was also voted the season’s Most Influential Housemate by his peers, thanks to his pranks and hypeman energy.
Sunday night’s show wasn’t without theatrics. Ebuka appeared in a vintage blue oversized suit paired with a fedora, inspired by Nollywood icon Chinedu Ikedieze aka Aki.
In true 10/10 style, he even faked a third eviction, briefly sending one housemate into panic before revealing they were safe.
The 10/10 season kicked off with a two-day opening ceremony, unveiling female housemates on 26 July and male contestants on 27 July, making a total of 29 housemates.
This year’s winner will walk away with ₦150 million, the biggest grand prize in the show’s history.
With two evictions now confirmed, the competition’s intensity is rising, and viewer votes will remain a decisive factor in determining who survives in the coming weeks.
