This week in the BBNaija house turned serious strategy mode as housemates scrambled for safety, power, and game control. Mensan, Sultana, and Kaybobo all came out of twists and nominations with immunity; but the way Sultana used her powers (or rather, didn’t) has become the talk of the show.
Mensan started making headlines when he was crowned the Most Influential Player of the Week, a title voted by fellow contestants for energy, contributions to tasks, entertainment, and general vibe. The win didn’t just bring praise; he also won immunity and officially became a finalist.
Also stepping into power this week was Sultana, who won the Head of House (HOH) challenge. That gave her the immunity that comes with HOH status, plus a power to save one housemate from eviction. But here’s where things got spicy: she chose not to save anyone—not even her close ally or best friend, Isabella.
Then came Kaybobo. He secured immunity via the red phone twist/power: that mysterious phone that often grants twists or special powers in the house. By picking the phone, Kaybobo earned protection, adding another layer to the nomination dynamics.
Sultana’s decision not to save anyone has fans split. Some are applauding her for taking a “fair chance for all” approach, believing she wants her fellow housemates to battle it out honestly. Others see it as a betrayal; especially for Isabella, who many thought would be the first person Sultana would save. Social media is buzzing with debates: was Sultana strategic or cold? Is this move about confidence or distancing?
Mensan’s immunity win ups his game. Being influential isn’t just about popularity; it’s about playing the social and task elements well. With his protection for the week and secure finalist status, Mensan now forces others to rethink their alliances and moves around him.
With Kaybobo safe too, the dynamics of nominations shift: fewer housemates are exposed, meaning more tension, more pushing for alliances, and more spotlight on those who didn’t win any protection. The house feels more vulnerable—every day now counts more.
What this week shows is that having power (HOH, red-phone, Most Influential) is one thing; using it wisely is another. Sultana’s pass on the power to save—especially skipping over her closest bond—might cost her trust or strengthen her position, depending on how the house reacts. Meanwhile, Mensan and Kaybobo will likely have breathing space, but also new targets once this immunity runs out.
