It’s just Day One in the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house, and some housemates are already facing an unexpected challenge — a surprising lack of basic utensils and food items.
Viewers were quick to notice the confusion as housemates like Tracy, Big Soso, and Thelma attempted to make breakfast but were clearly frustrated by the scarcity of everyday kitchen essentials.
“So far, there’s just one knife, a few bowls… and there’s also no salt,” Tracy was heard saying in the kitchen.
“How can there not be salt?” another housemate asked, sounding bewildered.
“There’s no plastic. I need to make my custard in a bowl,” Thelma added, visibly confused.
While it’s not unusual for BBN housemates to deal with unexpected twists, this early inconvenience has sparked speculation among fans: Could this be Big Brother’s first big prank or mind game of the season?
Is Scarcity the First Twist of BBN Season 10?

In previous seasons, Big Brother has intentionally created tension by limiting resources, especially when housemates lose their weekly wagers. However, this time, it seems the scarcity arrived unprovoked, right at the start. Could this be part of a bigger strategy to test adaptability, stir up friction, or simply set the tone for a drama-packed season?
Some fans on social media have already dubbed it the “Saltgate” of Season 10, suggesting that Big Brother might be kicking off the show with a psychological experiment or a social test to see how the housemates react under pressure.
Whether it’s an oversight or an intentional twist, one thing is clear — Big Brother Naija 2025 is wasting no time turning up the heat in the house.
