Three housemates, including Yerins, Beatrice and Niyi have been evicted from the BBNaija Shine Ya Eye edition at the first eviction show on Sunday night.

Yerins was the first contestant to be evicted from the reality TV show. His eviction was followed by that of Niyi and Beatrice.

Shortly after their eviction, the organisers of the show introduced four new housemates.

Before the eviction event, Yerins had told Biggie, “It’s going to be emotional for me to leave the house if evicted today.”

He added, “I keep my fingers crossed that my time here has impacted the viewers so far.”

A medical doctor, Yerins describes himself as “a perfectionist, creative genius, lover of art and poetic rap music”. He sees himself as a renaissance man who isn’t confined to one profession or career.

The 27-year-old enjoys drawing, playing chess, listening to music, and making it too. He also has plans to write a medical book in the near future.

The high point of Yerins’ life, he says is when he graduated from Medical University in Ukraine and finally got to see his parents for the first time in 9 years.

Niyi is a 33-year-old computer engineer from Oyo State.

Though he was once in the running to be a professional basketball player, that ambition was quickly quashed when he sustained an injury, leading to sciatica.

With a sense of Dennis Rodman about him, he still loves to play basketball and work out, and is adventurous when it comes to new food, and enjoys both eating and cooking it.

He is also an avid reader, aspiring writer and is fond of playing board games and card games – he even has a gaming license.

A husband and father, Niyi describes himself as “optimistic, spontaneous and adventurous,” while others describe him as being energetic.

Beatrice Agba Nwaji is a 28-year-old single mother of a five-year-old boy.

She is a graduate of the University of Port Harcourt where she studied marketing.

Beatrice believes that she was “created with a special clay” because she wonders how she is able to do the things she does, without having learned how to do them.

She can sing, dance, play basketball and football very well and is also a great hairstylist.

She is a talented software developer and when it comes to games, she is always the winner or the first runner up, even when she is not familiar with the game.

She wants to be in the Big Brother Naija house because she has an interesting personality which the world needs to see and also wants to positively impact those who have similar stories to hers.

It was a moment of excitement and celebration in Lagos on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, as popular Nollywood actor, Lateef Adedimeji, personally presented prizes to the first 10 winners of the recently concluded Lateef Adedimeji (Baba Eta) Challenge on DusDus.

The presentation, which took place at the DusDus office in Lagos, brought together the winners, representatives of the platform and the award-winning actor, who appeared delighted to personally celebrate participants who distinguished themselves in the challenge.

The Baba Eta Challenge, which leveraged Adedimeji’s popularity and his much-loved “Baba Eta” persona, provided fans and followers with an opportunity to participate in a fun-filled digital campaign while competing for prizes.

For the winners, meeting the actor in person added an extra layer of excitement to what had already been an engaging experience.

Rather than simply having the prizes distributed on his behalf, the actor chose to personally hand them over to the first 10 winners, turning the presentation into an intimate celebration of creativity, participation and the growing relationship between entertainers and their digital audiences.

Adedimeji’s collaboration with DusDus further highlights the evolving relationship between entertainment personalities and digital platforms, where challenges, audience participation and creator-led campaigns are increasingly becoming powerful tools for engagement.

The prize presentation also underscored the importance of recognising audience participation in digital campaigns. For the winners, what began as a social-media challenge culminated in a face-to-face encounter with one of Nollywood’s popular faces.

With Adedimeji personally presenting the prizes, the Baba Eta Challenge ended not merely as another online campaign, but as a memorable experience for its first set of winners.
