Martins and Mercedes Evicted in BBNaija Season 11 First Double Eviction

The Big Brother Naija Season 11 “Show Ya Sef” reality show witnessed its first live eviction on Sunday night, with housemates Martins Iyeh and Ijeoma “Mercedes” Emi becoming the first contestants to be evicted from the house. Hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the dramatic live show brought an end to the pair’s two-week journey as they polled the lowest percentages in the first public vote of the season.
According to voting figures released during the broadcast, Martins polled 1.63% of the total votes, while Mercedes secured 2.29%, leaving fellow bottom-three housemate Keivo (2.92%) to survive the cut. Martins, a 30-year-old creative director from Kogi State, expressed optimism about his future during his post-eviction talk on stage:

“Such is life. I'm just focused on what's next. I will surprise you, the world. Stay locked in.”
— Martins Iyeh

Mercedes, a 26-year-old massage therapist and entrepreneur from Delta State, reflected on her brief but vibrant stay in the house, sharing her immediate post-show plans:

“I did everything I could. I showed myself. I went beyond my limit. I will continue my massage business, push my concierge business, and pay for my father's surgery.”
— Mercedes Emi

Their departure leaves 22 housemates competing for the ₦160 million grand prize package as twists like "The Gambit" and "Conspiracy Hour" continue to reshape house dynamics and voting strategies.
