Over the years, the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) reality show has recorded several high-profile disqualifications, with housemates being removed from the competition for breaching the rules governing their stay in the house.
While the reasons for these expulsions have varied across different seasons, they have largely involved serious violations, ranging from physical confrontations and repeated breaches of house rules to inappropriate conduct. As a result, disqualification has remained one of the most severe penalties Big Brother can impose on contestants.
