The race for the top prize Big Brother Naija 85 million is gradually becoming a game of the fittest. The journey of about 20 housemates has now been reduced to 5 housemates, through eviction and disqualification.
Big Brother Naija Lockdown Season 5 also known as Big Brother Naija Lockdown is the fifth season of the Nigerian version of the reality show Big Brother. In the previous season of Big Brother Naija, housemates nominated two of their fellow housemates for eviction and the public then voted for who they wanted to evict. In this season, the nomination and eviction format was essentially reversed. Each week all housemates, except Head of House and Deputy Head of House, will face the public vote. The public will be voting for their favourite housemate. The voting closes on each Thursday. The four housemates who received the fewest votes will be nominated for eviction.
During the live eviction shows every Sunday, the nominated housemates at risk will face a Diary Eviction Votes Session to determine who will be evicted. Each housemate will vote on one or two of the bottom four housemates they wanted to leave in the Diary Room. The housemate who received the most nomination votes is evicted. During the sixth live eviction show on Day 42, the host Ebuka announced that the voting system would be switching back to the old one with housemates nominating and the public vote to evict. Since that period, housemates have been nominating themselves for possible eviction. Last week, 4 strong housemates were put up for eviction and that includes Laycon, Dorathy, Ozo, and Trikytee.
This week we shall be doing an analysis on the 5 housemates who will likely emerge winner BBN Season 5. The first housemate on the list is Nengi. She is the head of house for week 9.

His name was one of the least mentioned for eviction which has qualified him to be at the grand finale. So many people still grumble about the stance at the finale because considering his fan base, he doesn’t have the fan base to have made it there but all thanks to the nomination process which has favoured him so far.
