LAGOS: The Big Brother Naija Season 10 house was thrown into suspense on Monday evening after Kay Bobo became the latest contestant to secure a guaranteed spot in the grand finale through an unexpected twist involving the mysterious red phone.
The twist, which has been a recurring but unpredictable feature in the show, came with the highest stakes yet. A Big Brother representative with a feminine voice offered Kay Bobo a choice: immunity at the cost of ₦10 million deducted from the eventual grand prize money.
The cost of this offer is 10 million Naira and will come out of the prize money. You have the choice to accept or decline. What will it be? the representative asked.
After a brief but tense silence, Kay Bobo accepted the offer. Yes, I accept, he said, before receiving Big Brother’s confirmation: Kay Bobo, congratulations on purchasing immunity.
A Secret Deal
The deal came with strings attached. Kay Bobo was strictly instructed to keep the immunity a secret and to continue playing the nomination process as if nothing had happened.
This conversation is confidential. You are not permitted to share with any other housemates for the rest of your stay in Big Brother’s house, the representative warned.
This rule means that while Kay Bobo has locked his place in the finale, he must still act like every other housemate under threat of eviction, raising the stakes in his interactions and strategy.
Interestingly, Kay Bobo’s persistence was key. Earlier, fellow contestant Rooboy nicknamed the snail of the house for his slow style had tried answering the red phone but failed to hear the instructions. Kay Bobo seized the second opportunity, and it changed his entire game.
With this immunity purchase, Kay Bobo becomes the third finalist of BBNaija Season 10. He joins:
-
Sultana, who booked her place after winning the coveted Head of House title.
-
Mensan, who earlier earned a spot as the Most Influential Player.
This leaves only a few slots available for the finale, setting up intense competition in the coming days as the rest of the housemates fight for survival.
What This Means for the Game
Kay Bobo’s immunity deal has reshaped the dynamics of the BBNaija house. By sacrificing ₦10 million from the prize pool, he has ensured his presence in the final showdown, but his choice has also reduced the eventual winner’s payout.
Analysts say the decision could influence fan perception. On one hand, viewers may see Kay Bobo as a smart strategist who secured his future in the game.
On the other, some fans may criticize him for reducing the prize money, potentially creating tension inside and outside the house.
Fan Reactions
Social media has been buzzing since the announcement. On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag #KayBoboFinalist trended overnight.

A few were simply entertained:
BBNaija producers are wicked o. ₦10m immunity? I love this twist!
