Shock eviction rocks BBNaija: Fan-favourite Mide ousted ahead of finale

As Big Brother Naija Season 10 hurtles toward its explosive finale, the house witnessed another wave of heartbreak and high-stakes strategy with the eviction of fan-favorite housemate Ayomide “Mide” Iwasokun.

The 23-year-old entrepreneur from Ondo State became the latest casualty that left viewers reeling and housemates scrambling for alliances.

Mide’s eviction, confirmed during Sunday’s live show hosted by the ever-charismatic Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, capped a week of simmering tensions and bold plays.

Entering the house on July 26 as one of 29 housemates in this milestone “10/10” edition, Mide quickly emerged as a magnetic force, a self-proclaimed “smart, caring, and funny times two” mixologist with entrepreneurial flair.

His clothing and footwear line had already turned heads pre-show, but inside Biggie’s walls, it was his unfiltered charisma and strategic maneuvering that won hearts (and sparked rivalries).

Describing the show as “a mirror” for self-discovery, Mide aimed to blend business savvy with budding acting ambitions, often lightening tense moments with his quick wit and philosophical musings on everything from trust issues to spontaneous adventures.

Yet, Mide’s path was anything but smooth. Early on, he drew nominations in the season’s infamous “fake eviction” twist, where Big Brother upended the game by putting all housemates at risk as a psychological ploy.

He survived that mind game, but the real blows came later. Just a week ago, Mide’s budding romance with fellow housemate Bright Morgan imploded when Bright was evicted alongside Thelma Lawson, leaving Mide in a puddle of tears that echoed through living rooms nationwide.

Social media lit up in the eviction’s aftermath, with reactions ranging from gleeful schadenfreude to staunch defense.

With only a handful of episodes left before the October crowning, Mide’s departure intensifies the spotlight on survivors like Kola, Imisi, and Dede, whose names trended amid eviction predictions.

The house, already a cauldron of “situationships” and beefs, now feels the void of Mide’s energy, the guy who could philosophize over cocktails one minute and call out “dumb” moves the next.
