In a groundbreaking turn of events on the Big Brother Naija ‘No Loose Guard’ edition, the once inseparable duo Nelita, made up of Nelly and Anita, have risen above all challenges to become the only former pair who have secured their place as finalists for the highly anticipated grand finale.
The 9th season of the popular reality show commenced on July 28, introducing viewers to a fresh and diverse group of 14 pairs of housemates, totalling 28 contestants in a gripping display of competition and cooperation.
The unique format of this season required each pair to work closely together, depending on their combined efforts and synergy to avoid eliminations, with the theme of teamwork taking centre stage throughout the early weeks of the competition.
However, on September 2, the show introduced a major twist when the housemates were unpaired, forcing each contestant to navigate the challenges of the house independently. The sudden change pushed all participants to prove their individual strength and adaptability in the increasingly intense environment.
Nelita – The last standing duo
Against the odds and after being separated, Nelita’s Nelly and Anita demonstrated remarkable resilience, ultimately making it through to the final stage of the competition. Their achievement stands out as a testament to their individual abilities, even after being split up.
On Sunday, September 29, their position as finalists was cemented after the other notable duos, including the Mbadiwe Twins, DoubleKay, and Aces, faced the chopping block. The evicted housemates—Ocee, Topher, and Kassia—were sent home, leaving Nelita among the last eight contestants who will battle it out for the ultimate prize.

The top 8 finalists now include Kellyrae, Victoria, Wanni, Onyeka, Ozee, Anita, Nelly, and Sooj. With a grand prize of N100 million at stake, anticipation is building among fans as they eagerly await next Sunday’s finale, where one contestant will walk away with the life-changing sum.
Nelita’s journey from a formidable duo to independent finalists has captured the hearts of viewers, showcasing their resilience, competitive spirit, and unique personalities even after their official pairing was dissolved. Despite the separation, both Nelly and Anita have proven their mettle, and their continued success has been a highlight of the season.
As the finale approaches, the suspense and excitement grow. With their journey to the top eight already an impressive feat, the question remains—will one of the former Nelita duo claim the grand prize and emerge as the ultimate winner of Big Brother Naija Season 9?
