The BBNaija Season 10 reunion is already on fire, and this is only Episode One. If you missed the chaos, or you just need to catch up on who is who before things get even messier, let’s take a look at the key players and what to watch for as the season unfolds.
Imisi (Opeyemi Ayanwale) – The Winner
This is the woman who walked away with ₦150 million, including ₦80 million cash and a brand-new Innoson SUV, after winning with 42.84% of the public vote.
The 23-year-old fashion designer and actress from Oyo State spent Episode One sitting quietly while everyone around her self-destructed. But, don’t be fooled by the calm. Her clashes with Faith and Isabella during the season means she would soon find herself on the hot seat.
Thelma Lawson – The Instigator
The 27-year-old skincare boss from Rivers State arrived at the reunion as a background character and left Episode One as its most controversial figure.
Her decision to call Isabella a ‘freelancer’ before she even got to know her, and her inability to back up her claims about Sultana calling her names when Ebuka pressed her ended with her in tears on national television.
The internet has not forgiven her yet.
Big Soso (Sonia Amako) – The Wildcard
The 28-year-old from Kaduna shocked many when they found out she was an entrepreneur with a company in the UK.
Nobody asked Big Soso to enter the Thelma vs Isabella argument. She did it anyway, declaring loyalty to Isabella with her iconic line: “I dey your back kampe.”
She ended the episode making Thelma cry. That was must-watch television.
Isabella – The Unbothered One
The 29-year-old entrepreneur from Port Hartcourt sat through an entire episode of people fighting over and about her without raising her voice once.
Her quiet confidence drove Thelma to distraction during the season and did exactly the same thing as the reunion. Her response when Thelma jabbed her? Silence and a winner’s smile.
Faith – The Disqualified Housemate
The 25-year-old medical doctor from Osun State was on track to win the entire season before being disqualified in the final week. Why? He had a physical altercation with Sultana over a basket during a task rehearsal.
He lost his footing, she twisted her ankle, and he lost 70 days of gameplay in one moment. Everyone is waiting for his reunion confrontation with Sultana and Imisi.
Sultana – The Survivor
The 26-year-old plus-size model and beautician from Adamawa State is at the center of at least three major storylines.
There was Faith’s disqualification, a kiss with Koyin, and the infamous incident where she actually urinated in Dede’s storage box.
Yes, that actually happened. Yes, that would be addressed.
Dede (Precious Ashiogwu) – The Main Character
The 23-year-old from Delta State had the most chaotic love life of the season. She was simultaneously entangled with Kola, Jason Jae, and Koyin, in what fans called the ‘three fishes arc.’
Big Soso accused her of being promiscuous and misleading male housemates. Dede refused to accept Soso’s apology at the reunion. She is not here to make peace.
Kola (Kolapo Omotosho) – The Dismissive One
The 29-year-old Nigerian-Canadian Quality Analyst spent the season pursuing Dede with questionable sincerity and badmouthing Koyin and Jason Jae behind their backs.
At the reunion, he called Doris a non-factor with a straight face. Everyone is paying attention to his future confrontation to Dede as one of the biggest reunion storylines.
Koyin – The Ambassador
The 21-year-old model from Ogun State arrived at the reunion fresh off a Guinness ambassador deal, and his fans made sure we won’t forget it.
He shared a kiss with Sultana during the season that has never been fully explained, so we can expect that conversation soon.
Otega (Oghenetega Eritomi) – The Honest One
This is the housemate who got blocked by both Thelma and Sabrina after the show ended, showed up to the reunion, and told the truth about all of it. The 32-year-old chef from Delta State was known for his introspective nature and quiet fire.
He became Twitter’s favorite person of Episode One when he said, “I never came to the show to look for you. You no dey there when I filled the form.”
Sabrina (Sabrina Idukpaye) – The Unbothered Expensive One
The 32-year-old from Edo State arrived at the reunion feeling confident, looking well-dressed, and being completely unbothered by Otega’s declaration that she was above his weight.
Fans aren’t sure whether she is compelling television or if she just has a lot of grammar with nowhere to go.
Doris – The Believer
This is the housemate who spent the entire season convinced hat Kola had feelings for her, despite the fact that all the evidence pointed otherwise.
She arrived at the reunion ready to make her case. Kola called her a ‘non factor.’ She called him ‘inconsequential.’ This vocabulary war was probably the funnies moment of Episode One.
