Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, Phyna, nicknamed hype priestess, has won season 7 of the reality TV show.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Phyna was announced the winner of the show on Sunday.
She was declared the winner, defeating Bryann, who joined her on stage as the top two, and Bella, Adekunle, Chichi, and Daniella, who made the top six in the show.
Phyna won the Level Up Season and walked away with the crown and N100 million worth of prizes.
Certainly tonight, one of the housemates of the Big Brother Naija, “level-up” edition will leave the reality TV show with N100 million as the grand prize for the winner.
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.
Six 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 eviction
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 disqualification
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.
Hermes’ polyamorous relationship
The connection between Hermes and Allysn was undoubtedly one of the season’s highlights. Even though Hermes informed Allysn that he has two partners outside the house, the latter remained close to him until she was evicted two weeks ago.
Hermes had explained that he was polyamorous, a kind of partnership that leaves enough room for everyone in it to grow individually and collectively.
After his eviction, he said he would love to have Allysyn as his third girlfriend but she said she would like to focus on herself and respect his dynamic relationship even though she has a genuine connection with him.
Fake housemates
Another talking point of the level-up season was the introduction of two fake housemates.
Ebuka had during the second week of the show introduced Modella and Deji as two fake housemates and handed them a secret mission in their respective levels.
Deji was told to cause problems in the house by complaining about his colleagues in level 1 while Modella was instructed to cause a rift among lovers in the house.
Ebuka had said the duo cannot win the show or be nominated for eviction. He added that they can be told to leave the house anytime.
However, Deji delivered his task but Modella struggled to cause a rift between lovers on her level as she complained that she had warmed up to the couple she would have loved to take on.
Controversial level three house
Viewers were shocked by the creation of another level 3 house as the show entered its closing weeks.
The newly furnished level 3 house accommodated housemates Doyin, Eloswag, and Chomzy who were evicted on September 11 2022.
The new twist shocked viewers when Ebuka announced that although the housemates had been evicted, Big Brother decided to retain them as guests in the house till Sept. 18, when they will be moved to join the other housemates.
Ebuka explained that the evicted housemates will return to the main house to participate in house tasks with other housemates, a twist some viewers claimed was unjust to some housemates like Amaka whose eviction was ‘heartbreaking.
S3x and relationship
Deji and Chichi were caught having sex.
The two ‘love interests’ were caught having sex after light out.
Although Deji, who was a fake housemate, was evicted on Sunday, a video clip of the duo engaging in the act was released by Showmax on Wednesday.
Deji and Chichi are the second ‘level up’ housemates to be caught in the intimate act.
Recall that Daniella and Khalid had come under attack for engaging in the act, but Khalid, upon his eviction, denied the reports.
Khalid said his body is a temple, and he only aggressively kissed Daniella.
Deji, during his eviction interview on Sunday, said he intends to continue his relationship with Chichi.
Chomzy & Eloswag were also caught having sex in the Big Brother Naija Season 7 House.

Big Brother Naija, BBNaija, “Level Up” housemate, Bella. has cried out to Biggie in her recent diary session about the difficulties she is facing after the eviction of her love interest, Sheggz.
According to Bella she has not eaten since morning and none of her fellow housemates seems bothered about her, she told biggie that if Sheggz were to be in the house he would’ve fed her.
Bella stated that life without Mr Ikoyi as he’s fondly called is boring and very difficult, she also revealed that she’s very sad without her man.
In her words: “Life is so difficult and boring without Sheggz, I have not eaten today, if he was here.. I might not eat today, I don’t feel like entering the kitchen he would have made me breakfast. And the remaining housemates don’t care about me. I feel really sad that he is not here.”
TheNewsGuru.com recalls that earlier Sheggz and Bella decided to seek a pathway for their relationship in the house.
The two decided to have a heart-to-heart conversation over their relationship, their fights and their closeness.
“It’s normal that we will have clashes, because we are getting to know each other,” Sheggz said to Bella during their morning conversation in the bedroom.
Their conversation led to a talk about infidelity. Sheggz informed Bella that he has a lot of female friends but would never cheat on her “anyway”.
Bella had previously asked Sheggz to tone down his closeness to his female friends, which he consented to.
However, he said he changed his mind when he saw how she was carrying herself.
Although some days ago, Sheggz and Bella got into a heated argument for the umpteenth time this season over what Sheggz described as disrespectful and rude behaviour by Bella.
This marked a return of the constant rifts and disputes in Shella’s relationship.
The argument which ensued on Friday afternoon started when Bella got tired of Sheggz’s chattiness and storytelling which mostly based on his unending narration about his numerous trips to London.
Big Brother Naija. BBNaija, “Level Up” finalist, Phyna, has said she thinks the Head of House, HoH, Chizzy is her biggest competition currently.
Phyna made this disclosure while speaking with Biggie during her diary session earlier,
She broke down in tears, as she speaks about Groovy’s exit during her diary session.
Groovy’s stay in the Big Brother house got cut short on Sunday after he got evicted from the show.
His eviction came as a shock to other housemates, especially Phyna, his love interest.
Phyna disclosed that she misses Groovy so much and that it has been quite lonely without him.
According to her, she had no idea that she had grown so fond of him until his absence.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that BBNaija housemate, Bryann stirred reactions as he revealed that Phyna is his biggest competition in the reality TV show.
Bryann, in a chat with Big Brother, revealed who he felt was a threat to his win.
While speaking during his Diary Session, the young man admitted that his fellow former Level 2 star, Phyna, is his biggest competition.
Not stopping there, the young man went ahead to explain the reason behind his thoughts.
According to Bryann, Phyna has survived so many nominations on the show, and it is only logical to see her as his competition.
He said: “Logically, I will say Phyna because she has had the most nominations and she is still in the game. So from a logical standpoint I will pick Phyna. she came from being nominated from the beginning of the show to being in the eighth and ninth week.”
Some reactions culled below:
*Qwinomoruyi: “He nor lie sha phyna for the money.”

Big Brother Naija, BBNaija, “Level Up” housemate, Phyna has accused fellow housemate, Chichi, of trying to snatch her lover. Groovy, who was evicted on Sunday.
Phyna said this during a conversation with Bella and Rachel on Monday morning.
She claimed Chichi had been making moves on her lover before his eviction on Sunday.
“Any little thing Groovy Groovy. Me and Groovy will be sleeping she’ll come and wake Groovy. Why? There was a day she was calling everybody. She called Rachel, called Chizzy, she called Groovy she did not call me. Why are you always looking for Groovy?”
After Groovy’s eviction on Sunday night, Chichi could be heard calling Groovy’s name again until she was reminded of his eviction by Chizzy.
Groovy was evicted alongside Hermes and Sheggz on during the live eviction show on Sunday.
TheNewsGuru.com recalls that Phyna, Bella and Rachel had become friends after collective disapproval of Head Of House, Chichi’s attitude and overreaction after last week’s wager task loss.
The tension in Biggie’s house after the last eviction show is about the unexpected unity between Phyna, Bella and Rachel over what they describe as an overreaction and unnecessary anger by The Head of House.
Bella previously had no close relationship with Phyna, Rachel and Chichi as she once had disagreements with all.
However, after the eviction of her lover, Sheggz on Sunday night, she finally formed a bond with Rachel and Phyna whose lover, Groovy also got evicted.
In a new twist, the housemates discussed Head of House, Chichi’s character after the loss which had little consequence since Biggie promised them food supplies and a trip to Level 3 house.
During the discussion with Rachel, and Bella, Phyna accused Chichi of being into Groovy.
They also disapproved of Chichi’s attitude after the Wager loss saying that she overacted since she was not the only one that lost on the day.
Later, Chichi pondered alone saying, “You have to speak about me to stay united”
However, Adekunle told Daniella and Bryann that he feels Chichi is in trouble after the unexpected unity between the three female housemates.
However, it was Chichi that saved Phyna and Daniella from Sunday’s eviction nomination last week, using her veto power.
Big Brother Naija, BBNaija, “Level Up” organizers have revealed how Groovy, Hermes, and Sheggz were voted out of the reality TV show on Sunday.
As it stands, Chichi, Daniella, Phyna, Adekunle, Bryann, and Bella would compete for this year’s grand prize.
It would be recalled that week nine’s eviction show witnessed the goodbyes of the three housemates (Groovy, Hermes, and Sheggz).
Mr. Ikoyi as fondly referred to by viewers had the least vote for the week with only 13.26%, followed by Groovy who made as much as 14.63%.
Hermes, however, rose as high as 15.83% but eventually had to wave Biggie’s house goodbyes and the N100M grand prize.
TheNewsGuru.com had reported that Groovy, Sheggz and Hermes were on Sunday night evicted from the reality TV show, as Bella and Phyna suffer heartbreak.
Recall Groovy got into a ship with Beauty at the early stage in the season and when that ship capsized, he went into another one with Phyna.
