Martins, Mercedes Become First Housemates Evicted From BBNaija Season 10
Martins and Mercedes have become the first housemates to leave the Big Brother Naija Season 10 reality show after receiving the lowest number of public votes in the first eviction round.
The duo were evicted during the live eviction show on Sunday, August 9, 2026, bringing their brief stint in the “Show Ya Sef” edition to an end.
Their exit followed a tense nomination process earlier in the week, during which the housemates were required to save three of their fellow contestants.
Four housemates initially secured safety from possible eviction. However, Head of House Sheba exercised her veto power to save Chimsom Chuka, replacing him with Cassi.
The twist ultimately left 19 housemates vulnerable to eviction, with viewers deciding who would remain in the competition.
Martins and Mercedes eventually failed to secure enough votes to continue their journey in the house, making them the first casualties of the season.
The 10th edition of BBNaija premiered on July 26, 2026, with 24 housemates battling for a record ₦160 million grand prize.
The season has already introduced a major twist with Flora and Aikou designated as “The Gambits.” The pair are guaranteed a place in the house until the finale but are not eligible to compete for the ultimate prize.
With Martins and Mercedes now out of the competition, the remaining housemates will continue their battle for survival, popularity and the coveted ₦160 million prize.
