Temi Nkem was named the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 11, taking home the season’s ₦160 million grand prize package on Sunday, October 4, 2026.
The 21-year-old, whose real name is Temitope Chigbue, defeated her fellow finalists to emerge as the champion of the “Show Ya Sef” edition after 70 days of drama, strategic moves, relationships and unexpected twists.
Temi Nkem was among the nine housemates who made it to the grand finale after the competition began on July 26 with 24 contestants.
The finale, hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, saw the finalists gradually eliminated until Temi Nkem, Aikou and Sheba remained as the final three.
Known for her bold personality, outspoken nature and vibrant presence, Temi Nkem became one of the season’s most talked-about housemates.
Her journey included memorable confrontations, friendships, emotional moments and a fake eviction that briefly had viewers believing she had lost her place in the competition.
Her victory makes her the 11th winner in Big Brother Naija history, following Imisi, who won Season 10.
Temi Nkem will receive the season’s ₦160 million grand prize package, which includes cash and other rewards.
