Voting is free and happens in three official places: africamagic.tv/bigbrother, the MyDStv app, and the MyGOtv app. The window opens Monday 9pm WAT after nominations and closes Thursday 10pm WAT.
Can you vote today? If it’s between Monday night and Thursday 10pm WAT, yes — the official BBNaija vote is open and every step below works right now. Friday to Monday afternoon, official voting is closed until the new nominations land; you can still vote in our fan polls any day.

Step by step
- Go to africamagic.tv/bigbrother (or open MyDStv / MyGOtv).
- Register: name, birth year, phone number — you’ll get an OTP by SMS or WhatsApp.
- Pick your housemate and allocate your votes.
How many votes do you get?
- Website / mobile site: up to 100 free votes per person.
- MyDStv / MyGOtv apps: votes scale with your subscription package — from 200 on entry packages up to 10,000 on DStv Premium-tier accounts.
- Bonus votes: in-app quizzes and games can add up to 200 votes per round.
No SMS voting
Older seasons had SMS shortcodes; there is no SMS voting method published for Season 11. Anyone selling votes or “SMS voting numbers” is scamming you.
Note: our fan polls are separate — they’re for fan pulse and predictions, and never count toward the official vote.
