Big Brother Naija has grown far beyond a reality TV show, and central to its impact are the fans behind the contestants.
These passionate fans do more than just watch, they mobilise votes, create content, spark trends, and influence public conversations, both online and offline.
Some fanbases have even transformed contestants into cultural icons, shaping careers and narratives long after eviction.
From 2017 to 2025, here is a look at the few influential fanbases selected from different seasons that have defined BBNaija history:
1. Efe – Efenation
Season 2’s Warri boy, Efe, captured hearts instantly. While Efemily was a niche group for core superfans, Efenation was the dominant name, coined during Week 1 for Efe’s “Based on Logistics” slang and Warri pride.
Efenation organised street rallies in Abuja, actively trended the finale, and is credited with his 57.61% vote win.
They also reportedly helped launch his smooth but short music career, setting the blueprint for grassroots fan energy in BBNaija.
2. Bisola – Team Bisola
Bisola’s fanbase drew partly from her MTN Project Fame roots.
Bisola’s Supporters from See Gobe edition amplified her “Alligator Queen” persona with memes, social campaigns, and voting drives.
They maintained her relevance post-runner-up, proving pre-existing audiences can fuel long-term influence and fan loyalty beyond the house.
3. Tobi Bakre – Tobination

They trended hashtags like #MiracleThePilot during evictions, turning his 38.17% finale win into wider cultural attention, including aviation endorsements and media appearances.

Spartans, fiery supporters, clashed with Alexians (Alex Unusual’s fanbase), keeping Cee-C’s drama in public view.

Spartans show how fanbases can cement a contestant’s brand even years after eviction.

Their fierce loyalty set a benchmark for fan engagement and strategic campaigning.
