Temi Nkem wins BBNaija Season 11 with ₦160m prize

Temi Nkem has emerged as the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 11, taking home the ₦160m grand prize at the end of the reality television competition. Aikou finished as the first runner-up, while Sheba placed second runner-up. Temi’s victory came after 70 days in the Big Brother Naija house, where the season featured twists, disqualifications, evictions and other dramatic developments.

Temi’s real name is Temitope Chigbue, and she is 21 years old. She was born and raised in London, England. Her father is from Ibusa in Delta State, while her mother is from Ebute Metta in Lagos State.

Before entering the show, Temi was studying Accounting and Finance and had developed an interest in treasury-related studies. She also worked as a lifestyle content creator. Her listed hobbies included golfing, eating and walking.

Temi entered the house single and said she was not looking for a relationship. In her official profile, she described herself as bold, vibrant and “impossible to ignore”. She also said she was “very egotistical and arrogant” and would not make herself smaller for anyone.

She identified being “very revengeful” when someone hurt her ego as a habit that could irritate people. Temi said she joined the show to bring “luxury” and “spice”, adding that she believed she represented what the programme needed. During the competition, she became one of the season’s most outspoken housemates and was involved in several heated exchanges.

She was also among the contestants affected by a fake-eviction twist in September, after which she returned to the house and continued competing. Her win places her among previous BBNaija winners including Mercy Eke, Laycon, Whitemoney, Phyna, Ilebaye and Imisi.
