Over the years, Big Brother Naija has crowned ten different housemates as champions, but only a few have achieved truly dominant wins at the finale.
According to official data released after each season’s final episode, Laycon, who emerged victorious in Season 5 (2020), still holds the record for the highest winning vote percentage in the show’s history — “an impressive 60.00 per cent of the final votes.”
Recently, Imisi, winner of Big Brother Naija Season 10 (2025), made her mark in the franchise’s history books after “winning with 42.80 per cent of the finale votes, representing one of the strongest showings in recent years.”

Big Brother Naija remains one of the most popular and widely followed reality TV shows across Africa.
The show brings together housemates from different parts of Nigeria, who live under one roof for several weeks, taking part in challenges, games, and social interactions — all while being completely isolated from the outside world.
Each week, the public votes to evict contestants, and the competition culminates in a live finale, where viewers determine the overall winner based on popularity, gameplay, and audience connection.
The champion usually walks away with a grand prize that includes millions in cash, a car, and endorsement opportunities.
