As the Big Brother Naija Season 7 comes to a close tonight, fans have continued to assess the performance of both the production team and the housemate.
The Winner of Season 7, Big Brother Naija level-up edition will walk away with N100 million grand prize. The show which was launched on July 23 and 24 began with 24 housemates.
The housemates came in with their A-game to the ‘level-up opening night as they were introduced by the show host, Ebuka Obi- Uchendu.
Unlike previous editions where boys were introduced before the girls, this year the housemates were introduced in levels. Also, this year’s grand prize was increased by N10 million.
The level-up season has had several twists that left devoted fans of the program with lasting memories.
Here are five remarkable moments from the level-up season.
Level 1 and 2
At the launch of this year’s show, Biggie, in a surprise twist, divided the housemates into two different houses namely level 1 and level 2.
The organizers did not only give viewers two channels on DSTV and Gotv to enjoy the show but also changed the eviction process.

The creation of the two levels caused fierce competition as viewers struggled not to miss any action on both levels simultaneously.
Before the merger of the two levels, the winner of the Head of House (HoH) games from either Level 1 or 2 house, saves the rest of his housemates in the same level from eviction and nominations.
The level 2 housemates were nicknamed, ‘the trenches house with more talents while the Level 1 housemates walked with an air of superiority as they occupied a beautiful house and dominated the much-coveted head of house, HOH game.
Unfortunately for level 2 housemates, Level 1 housemates dominated the race for the (HoH) position and were not nominated or evicted from the show until both levels merged.
Beauty’s Disqualification
On Aug. 7 2022, Beauty Tukura, was disqualified for breaking and disobeying the house rules.
Beauty had during the first week of the show received a strike for an altercation with Ilebaye. She had pulled Ilebaye’s wig after a war of words and on Aug.6, threw her wig, and glasses and also attempted to break Groovy’s microphone during a misunderstanding.
She was eventually issued a double strike by Big Brother. This made Beauty the first housemate to receive a strike and also get disqualified in the second week of the show.
Unveiling of the riders
The show took a new turn with the introduction of two “rider housemates”
The duo, Rachael and Chizzy, were introduced during the third week eviction night show.
Obi-Uchendu had explained that the rider housemates were Biggie’s agents, who would not have the opportunity to win the N100 million grand prize.
According to him, they can not also be evicted and will be opportuned to play till the end of the show.
He said the rider housemates would be participating in all house tasks and every other activity. As the competition progressed Chizzy became the fans-favourite and the riders were eventually evicted on Friday night.
Amaka’s eviction
Amaka’s eviction came as a shock to fans of the show after she became a victim of Biggie’s twist.
Viewers were taken aback by her exit when she was nominated for immediate eviction. This came after Biggie asked all the housemates to nominate two fellow contestants for immediate eviction and Amaka got the highest nominations.
Amaka left the house leaving some of her fellow housemates emotional. That was the first time such an eviction process occurred and the fans were not happy that they couldn’t save her.
Some viewers believed Amaka, who showed so much content and vibes in the House and was saved by her fans twice, was a strong contender for the prize.
