Big Brother Naija Season 10 just recorded one of its most shocking moments yet as housemate Bright Morgan made show history by receiving a double strike for physically assaulting fellow contestant Faith during a heated argument over a cigarette and lighter.
According to available footage, what started as a verbal disagreement quickly spiralled out of control. Bright punched Faith, shoved him, and refused to apologise for his actions. Big Brother swiftly addressed the incident, announcing the rare penalty of two strikes at once — a sanction that now leaves Bright one step away from automatic disqualification.
This is not Bright Morgan’s first run-in with aggression inside the house. Earlier in the season, he nearly fought with Kayikunmi after being called out for arriving late to a Head of House lounge summons. Kayikunmi had reportedly referred to latecomers as “a bitch,” which triggered Bright’s temper, causing him to lunge at him. Several housemates had to restrain him before things turned physical. That earlier clash went unpunished, sparking debates among fans about the show’s inconsistent approach to house discipline.
The double strike, however, marks a turning point. For weeks, 9am News Nigeria has been tracking growing viewer frustration over what many consider Big Brother’s “soft” handling of misconduct this season. From Sultana urinating in Dede’s box after a party, to repeated cases of verbal abuse, slut-shaming, and food hoarding, the Season 10 house has been far from peaceful. In some cases, past seasons would have seen immediate eviction, yet punishments were minimal.
Outside the house, Bright Morgan’s name has also been trending for a completely different reason — a shocking social media scandal involving his Instagram handler. Days before the assault, Bright’s verified account began posting damning accusations, claiming he had sexually assaulted fellow housemate Mide, who is also his budding in-house love interest. The handler labelled him a “rapist” and a “weak man with no self-control,” sharing clips of Bright and Mide cuddling and making out, claiming the moments were non-consensual.
Fans were quick to dispute the claims, noting that Mide appeared awake and responsive in the videos. Bright’s family released a formal statement denying the allegations, accusing the handler of acting maliciously to ruin his reputation. Loyal supporters — who call themselves “BrightStars” — even launched a new Instagram page to defend him, which has since surpassed his official account in followers.
Following the latest altercation, Big Brother also issued additional punishments to other contestants. Sultana received a one-week ban from consuming alcohol, while Kuture got a final warning after threatening physical violence against Faith.
With two strikes now against his name, Bright Morgan’s future in the house hangs by a thread. One more serious rule violation and he will be automatically disqualified — an outcome many fans believe is only a matter of time given his fiery track record.
The incident has once again sparked a wider conversation about house discipline, fairness, and whether Big Brother Naija has become more lenient in recent seasons. While some viewers believe the double strike was overdue, others argue that all housemates should be held to the same strict standards to maintain order and fairness.
Whether Bright manages to control his temper or marches straight into a disqualification could become one of the defining storylines of BBNaija Season 10. For now, his controversial journey continues to dominate headlines and fuel debates both inside and outside the house.
