BBNaija Season 11 has entered another phase as housemates continue their battle for the grand prize following the latest eviction.
The reality television show premiered on July 26, 2026, with 24 housemates entering the Big Brother house. As of August 17, three contestants have been officially evicted, while another housemate has voluntarily withdrawn from the competition. Here are the housemates who have left the show so far.
Martins was among the first contestants to leave the BBNaija Season 11 house. He was evicted alongside Mercedes during the first live eviction show after receiving the lowest number of votes from viewers. Following his exit, Martins told host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu that he planned to surprise the public with his next moves outside the reality show.
Mercedes became the second housemate to exit the “Show Ya Sef” edition. She was evicted alongside Martins after recording the lowest votes during the first eviction round.
Reflecting on her time in the house, Mercedes said she was proud of how she conducted herself during the competition. She also disclosed plans to pursue her entertainment career while expanding her massage and concierge businesses. The former housemate said another priority was raising money for her father’s surgery.
Kamsy Uzoma became the third officially evicted contestant during the live show on August 16. The 24-year-old event planner and gift curator from Imo State received 2.41 per cent of the viewers’ votes, the lowest among contestants nominated for eviction that week.
During her post-eviction interview with Ebuka, Kamsy described her participation as a blessing. She also discussed her growing feelings for fellow housemate Gerard and said she would now turn her attention back to her business.
While three contestants have been officially evicted, Neche also left the BBNaija Season 11 house. Her departure, however, was voluntary and did not result from the public voting process. Neche, whose full name is Chinaecherem Maduagwu, had previously emerged as Head of House during the third week of the competition.
She subsequently chose to leave the programme because of what Big Brother described as pressing personal issues. As a result, Neche is not included among the officially evicted housemates.
- Martins — Evicted in Week 2
- Mercedes — Evicted in Week 2
- Kamsy Uzoma — Evicted in Week 3
- Neche (Chinaecherem Maduagwu) — Voluntary exit
Following Kamsy’s eviction and Neche’s voluntary departure, 20 housemates remained in the competition. The BBNaija Season 11 race continues, with the remaining contestants facing fresh nominations, immunity opportunities and weekly eviction battles as they compete for the ultimate prize.
This list reflects official departures recorded as of August 17, 2026. Further eviction rounds will change the list as the “Show Ya Sef” season progresses.
