BBNaija Season 11: Aikou and Flora's Gambit Twist Revealed

Big Brother Naija Season 11 has launched a new twist named "Operation Release the Gambit," which allows viewers to vote on whether housemates Aikou and Flora should return to compete for the ₦160 million grand prize. Previously, Aikou and Flora were voted into Gambit positions, which secured their place in the house until the grand finale but prohibited them from competing for the grand prize.

As Gambits, they acted as undercover agents, completing tasks without the knowledge of other housemates. During the live eviction show hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, it was announced that viewers could now decide to release Aikou, Flora, or both from their Gambit roles.

If released, they would regain eligibility for the grand prize but would lose their guaranteed safety and become subject to nominations and eviction. This twist could significantly alter the competition dynamics, especially if both housemates are released.

The current BBNaija Season 11 house has 17 housemates, down from 24 since the show's start on July 26, 2026.
