What time is the Big Brother Naija eviction?
There’s never a dull moment in the Big Brother House. During the week, there are tasks and games, and the weekends come with flexing and party and of course, Big Brother Naija’s eviction night on Sundays at 19:00 (West Africa), 20:00 (Southern Africa) or 21:00 (East Africa).

Here’s a guide on everything else that goes on in Biggie’s house during the week, and what time to tune in to watch.
Monday Head of House Challenge
What time? Mondays at 19:00 (West Africa), 20:00 (Southern Africa) or 21:00 (East Africa).
Every Monday evening the housemates play a game individually within a stipulated time and the person who finishes the earliest wins and becomes the Head of House. Perks of Head of House include immunity from eviction and exclusive access to the Head of House Lounge for one week.
The Head of House gets to pick a deputy, who also enjoys the same perks. This week, we see Big Brother introduce another perk: our Head of House got to pick a guest who can access the lounge.
Watch the Head of House challenge episodes on Showax.
Thursday Wager Task
Housemates carry out a task to win their wager. If they lose this task, they lose their shopping allowance. If they win, they get money to shop. So if you were wondering why our housemates were feeding heavily on noodles recently, it’s because they lost their wager.
Arena Games: Betway Challenge
What time? Fridays, all day.
Betway, the gold sponsor of the BB Naija Lockdown edition, engages the housemates in tasks, trivia games and sports every Friday. The winner of the arena games is exempt from any chores and is pampered throughout the week.
Saturday Night Party
What time? Saturdays at 19:00 (West Africa), 20:00 (Southern Africa) or 21:00 (East Africa).
Saturdays are for good vibes, great costumes and drinks in the Big Brother house. The housemates are treated to two hours of non-stop party music; they rock bodies, vibe and celebrate after a week of hard work. Saturdays night are a fan favourite because we get to see the housemates loosen up and party, and you know there’s fun where there’s alcohol. Alongside a guest DJ, a celebrity guest is invited to join in on the fun.
Sunday Eviction Night
What time? Sundays at 19:00 (West Africa), 20:00 (Southern Africa) or 21:00 (East Africa).
No housemate wants to leave the Big Brother house, but every Sunday night, at least one must go home. How it works: the housemates nominate at least one of the bottom four – housemates with the fewest votes – for possible eviction, and the most nominated is evicted. This is done privately with Big Brother in the diary room.
BONUS: Watch the exclusive Diary Room sessions where the housemates cast their votes on Showmax – not available to watch anywhere else.
But Sunday nights aren’t always gloomy. Fans enjoy highlights from the week and some juicy table shaking from host Ebuka, who is always spectacularly dressed for the event.
