Big Brother Naija Season 11, Show Ya Sef, has entered Week 9, and the competition is getting closer to the grand finale.
After Sunday’s triple eviction, Yusuf, Bells and Chimsom Chuka left the house, reducing the number of remaining housemates to 10. On Monday, Keivo won the Week 9 Head of House challenge and secured a place in the finale, joining Barry as one of the confirmed finalists.
But what does that mean for voting this week?
Here is the latest information on BBNaija Week 9 voting and how the official voting system works.
Is BBNaija Week 9 Voting Open?
As of Monday, 21 September 2026, the available official information does not confirm a new Week 9 public eviction vote.
This is important because the normal BBNaija voting system is activated when Big Brother calls for viewers to vote for eligible housemates. Africa Magic's official voting guide states that voting takes place through the Africa Magic website/mobile site and the MyDStv and MyGOtv apps when a voting round is active.
Week 9 has also introduced another major development: Keivo has secured a place in the finale after winning the Head of House challenge. Barry had already secured the first confirmed finale spot after winning the previous week's HoH challenge and receiving the Ultimate Veto Power.
So, if you are looking for a Week 9 voting link, check the official Africa Magic voting page first rather than relying on unofficial voting pages or fan polls.
How to Vote for BBNaija Season 11
When an official voting round is open, viewers can vote through the Africa Magic website/mobile site, MyDStv app or MyGOtv app. Africa Magic confirms that voting is free, although normal internet data charges apply.
Vote Through the Africa Magic Website
Visit the official Big Brother Naija voting page on Africa Magic.
If you are a new voter, register with the required information and verify your account using the OTP sent to your phone.
Once registered, log in, select the eligible housemate you want to support, enter your votes and submit.
The official Season 10 voting information lists the public website allocation at 100 votes per user per voting round, while Season 11's official voting page should be checked for any updated allocation or voting rules for the current round.
Vote Through the MyDStv App
Active DStv subscribers with eligible packages can receive additional votes through the MyDStv app.
Open the MyDStv app, log into your account and look for the Vote Now option when a voting round is active.
Select your preferred housemate, enter the number of votes available to you and submit.
The number of votes available through the app depends on the eligible subscription package.
Vote Through the MyGOtv App
GOtv subscribers can also vote through the MyGOtv app when voting is open.
Log into the app, find the Big Brother Naija voting option, select your preferred housemate and follow the instructions to submit your votes.
As with MyDStv, the available votes depend on the eligible GOtv package.
When Does BBNaija Voting Usually Open and Close?
During the regular eviction rounds this season, Africa Magic has stated that voting opens on Monday at 9:00 PM WAT after the nomination process and closes on Thursday at 10:00 PM WAT.
However, these times apply when an official voting round has been announced. Special twists can change the normal schedule, so viewers should always check the latest announcement before voting.
That distinction matters in Week 9 because the current format is moving the house closer to the finale.
How Many Votes Can You Cast?
The public Africa Magic website/mobile voting allocation has traditionally been 100 votes per platform per voting round.
Subscribers using MyDStv or MyGOtv can receive additional votes based on their eligible subscription package. For example, official BBNaija voting information has previously listed higher allocations for higher DStv and GOtv packages.
Because voting allocations can change between seasons or special voting rounds, always follow the number displayed on the official Season 11 voting page when the Week 9 voting window is activated.
Is BBNaija Voting Free?
Yes. Official voting through the Africa Magic website, mobile site, MyDStv and MyGOtv platforms is free.
You may, however, incur normal internet data charges when accessing the voting platforms.
Be careful with websites or individuals claiming to sell official BBNaija votes. Use only the voting platforms provided by Africa Magic and MultiChoice.
What Happened Before Week 9?
Week 8 produced one of the biggest eviction nights of the season so far.
Yusuf, Bells and Chimsom Chuka were evicted during the Sunday, 20 September live show. Their exits left 10 housemates in the competition.
Before that eviction, Barry had become the first confirmed finalist after winning the Week 8 Head of House challenge. His Ultimate Veto Power allowed him to influence nominations, and he used it to save Aikou.
Keivo then followed Barry by winning the Week 9 HoH challenge and securing another finale spot.
Who Is Still in the BBNaija House?
Following the Week 8 triple eviction, 10 housemates remain:
Aikou, Barry, Bluethopia, Flora, Keivo, Oyin, Ricky, Sheba, Temi Nkem and Tram.
Barry and Keivo have already secured places in the finale.
Where Should You Check for the Official Voting Link?
The safest place to check is the official Africa Magic Big Brother Naija page. The Season 11 voting instructions confirm that official voting takes place through Africa Magic's website/mobile site and the MyDStv and MyGOtv apps.
