Yesterday marked the end of another Big Brother season — a show built on strategy, personality, and, most importantly, fan power. While housemates battled for the prize within the confines of Biggie’s house, an even fiercer war raged outside.

These die-hard supporters, often named after their favourite housemate, are the backbone of the show, dictating who stays, who goes, and ultimately, who takes home the grand prize. But among the multitude of dedicated followers, which fan base truly stands as the strongest across all editions for you?

Let’s take a look at some housemates with the most amazing fan bases.

Imisi – Imistars
Imisi’s fan base, “Imistars” proved to be one of the most vocal, coordinated, and influential fan groups of the season. Their dedication translated directly into her victory, securing her 42.8% of the total fan votes. Imisi’s win is seen not just as a victory in a reality show but as a testament to her ability to form a deep, authentic connection with the viewing public. Her resilience, grace, and ability to be both entertaining and strategic made her journey widely discussed.

Tacha – The Titans
When unadulterated passion and loyalty, Tacha’s Titans are often the first to come to mind. Despite Tacha’s controversial disqualification from the Pepper Dem season, her fan base remained fiercely devoted. Their unwavering support, even in the face of heavy criticism, showcased an unprecedented level of commitment. The Titans’ ability to trend hashtags, defend their queen relentlessly, and even rally support after her exit cemented their status as a force to be reckoned with: they turned a controversial queen into a verified influencer.
Cee-C – The Spartans
The Spartans have proven that loyalty is louder than controversy. In their bid to celebrate Cee-C’s growth and resilience, The Spartans surprised their fave with a fully-paid for property in Lekki and a premium shop space with a year’s rent covered after the show, setting her up as both a homeowner and entrepreneur. They also handed her a content creator starter pack, including drone equipment and custom Spartans-branded items.

Koyin – Koyinator
Koyin’s fanbase proved they were loyal and dedicated, by making Koyin the Second Runner-up of the BBNaija season 10.
The Koyinators are recognised for their activity on social media platforms like X, Facebook, and TikTok. Their engagement strategy often includes humour, memes, and catchy hashtags to keep Koyin trending and elevate his visibility.

Mercy Eke – The Mercenaries
Also from the Pepper Dem season, Mercy Eke’s Mercenaries proved to be an equally formidable and ultimately victorious base. While the Titans were known for their aggressive defence, the Mercenaries were celebrated for their strategic voting and consistent push that saw Mercy become the first female winner of BBNaija. She is one of the most followed ex-BB Naija housemates with 4.5 million Instagram followers. Their ability to mobilise and convert admiration into actual votes, especially during tight eviction races, showcased a highly organised and financially capable fan base that knew how to play the game to win.

Erica Nlewedim – Elites
Much like Tacha, Erica commanded an incredibly loyal fan base. Even after her disqualification in the Lockdown season, they were determined to remind her that her journey was only just beginning; they gifted her a fully furnished 3-bedroom duplex in Lekki. She also received $10,000 worth of international stocks, professional content creation gear, including a drone, and a sponsored vacation to Kenya. Beyond material gifts, the Elites made philanthropic donations in her name.

Laycon – The Icons
Laycon’s Icons, a fan base that shattered previous voting records, captured hearts across Nigeria and beyond. They presented him with a Mercedes-Benz for his birthday, setting a new standard for fan gifts. His victory margin was astronomical, a testament to the sheer numerical strength and dedication of his supporters. The Icons also powered Laycon’s rise from BBNaija winner to music star, by streaming his songs and backing his reality show every step of the way.

Whitemoney – Whitemoney Gang
For the man who cooked his way into the viewer’s heart, The Whitemoney Gang returned the favour with a warm display of loyalty. Post-Big Brother, they handed him the keys to a sleek Toyota Venza, a grand gesture that underscored their appreciation. They topped it off with an extravagant cash cake and stood by him with prayers and support during a health scare, reminding him that he was never alone.

Phyna – Phynation
Phyna, the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 7 (Level Up), didn’t just win the grand prize; she won with a massive, dedicated, and highly vocal fan community often referred to as the Phynation. Phyna’s victory was monumental for her base, as it secured her place in history as only the second female housemate to ever win the Big Brother Naija show (after Mercy Eke in Season 4).
Pere – The Patriots
The Patriots are known for their fierce loyalty, their willingness to fight for perceived injustices, and their ability to organize effectively. Making them one of the most resilient and historically impactful fanbase in BBNaija history. On his birthday, Pere was surprised with a ₦10 million cash gift, luxury accessories including premium fragrances, a designer wristwatch, and fuel vouchers worth over ₦200,000. They generously donated asthma kits and cleared hospital bills in his name.

Liquorose – Liquorlions
Known for her dance skills and charisma, Liquorose earned a loyal fan base during her time on the show: The Liquorlions. The reality star was once rewarded by her fans with ₦14.5 million naira and gifts, which included cars, bags, shoes, as well as a picture displayed on a billboard to celebrate her birthday. This became one of the most extravagant fan surprises in BBNaija history.
