Former Big Brother Naija housemate Doyin David has advised new housemates as the 11th season of the premiere is set to air soon.
Speaking on Thursday at the BBNaija Season 11 pre-show media event in Lagos, Doyin counselled the new housemates to avoid being dull or unduly self-conscious about their reputations.
She encouraged them to express themselves without fear of repercussions in the future.
“My advice to the incoming BBNaija Season 11 housemates is, don’t be boring, don’t be furniture. Don’t be scared of people judging you.
“Say whatever you want to say and do whatever you want to do. You will deal with consequences later,” she said.
“Also, learn how to have fun by yourself. When you are in that house, you might not have a lot of friends but you need to be able to stand alone and don’t be depressed about it,” Doyin added.

Big Brother Naija Season 11 will formally debut on July 26, 2026, according to the organisers.
A brand-new SUV and a N100 million cash award make up the record-breaking N160 million grand prize package.
In January 2026, Phyna, a former Big Brother Naija winner, voiced her worries about the reality show’s present situation, claiming that many competitors lack the skills necessary to succeed after their time in the house.
During a livestream, she stated that several former roommates rely on the same fan base, which isn’t growing and can’t support their professions.
She clarified that without gaining new supporters, the audience merely switches their allegiance from one competitor to another.
Phyna went on to say that the program has lost credibility, pointing out that BBNaija graduates are no longer treated with the same deference as they once were.
Phyna, whose real name is Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, won the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, tagged ‘Level Up’, on October 2, 2022.
