Josephine “Joanna” Iwoh and Unekwuojo “Kulture” Ameh became the latest housemates to leave Big Brother Naija Season 10 during Sunday’s live eviction, themed Ten Over Ten.
Host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, dressed in a Sonny Okosun-inspired outfit, announced their eviction before shocked housemates and a stunned live audience. The announcement followed the close of voting on Thursday, with Deloitte compiling the results confirmed by M-Net.
Biggie immediately instructed both housemates to pack within ten seconds. Ebuka, as tradition demands, questioned contestants about alliances, tensions, and weekly highlights, directing tough questions to Dede, Joanna, Jason Jae, Sultana, and Kulture.
Earlier in the live show, Thelma Lawson and Bright “Morgan” Mbata—evicted in Saturday’s surprise twist—shared their experiences of leaving so abruptly. Their eviction, which came just after the Saturday night party, shocked both housemates and fans, as it was the first Saturday eviction of the season.
Ebuka entered the house in person before the announcement, thrilling contestants before warning: “More evictions are coming tomorrow. A lot can be lost in two weeks.” Many housemates initially suspected another fake eviction, like the one staged earlier for Rooboy, Dede, and Joanna.
This weekend’s eviction row marked the first back-to-back evictions of the season, four in total, setting a new record and heightening tension ahead of the finale.
Profiles
Joanna, 21, from Benue State, is a fashion creator who aimed to showcase her authentic self. Despite recurring nominations and a fake eviction, she built a notable bond with fellow housemate Faith.
Kulture, 27, a sailor from Kogi State, described himself as a “vibe-bringer with multiple talents.” He once enjoyed HoH suite privileges but also received a stern warning for threatening violence, which Big Brother labelled “malicious intent.” His colourful personality generated several memes, but his turbulent run ended with this eviction.
Eviction Trail
The eviction journey began with Danboskid and Ibifubara on 10 August, followed by Sabrina’s voluntary exit on medical grounds the next day. Otega and Kayikunmi left on 17 August; Victory and Gigi Jasmine on 24 August; Big Soso, Ivatar, and Doris in a triple eviction on 7 September.
Denari and Tracy exited on 14 September, while Thelma and Bright left on Saturday. Joanna and Kulture’s eviction now reduces the housemates to 13, down from the opening 29, as the race for the ₦150 million grand prize enters its final two weeks.
