PinkPantheressBiography
Elizabeth Oloruntola was born on April 19, 2001, Legit.ng reported. She is from Ogun State, and Channels TV described her as 24 when she left the house in September 2025.
Her family is religious. “My mum is a church person and not a fan of the show,” she said before going in, Legit.ng reported. She didn’t tell her parents she had been picked. “I’m a rebel. I like shocking my parents,” she said. Her mother would still be proud, she added. “She will be super proud.”
She was a student at the University of Lagos when the show began. “I am currently a student, but I have a lot of things I do on the side,” she said in her Big Brother profile video. “I own a brand, a clothing brand, and I do content creation, modeling.”
Career
Zita runs Beth & Co, a women’s ready-to-wear label in Lagos, Legit.ng reported. She also worked as a product photographer for beauty brands, including Toke Makinwa Luxury and Kessie Skincare. In the house she wore almost all of her pink dresses from her own label. “I’m going to focus on my brand better,” she told Ebuka on her eviction night.
She wants a bigger place in beauty. “I want to be what people look up to when they want to see a black girl, you know, in the beauty space,” she told Africa Magic in September 2025. She said she planned a pink “Barbie collection” for the label.
Property has become her main job. Her Instagram, which has 92,300 followers, now lists her as a real estate broker at Aurelia Estate. In April 2026 she listed a five-bedroom smart home in Lekki Phase 1 for N1.3 billion on the page. Zikoko reported in June 2026 that she was finishing her degree, working in real estate and growing as a content creator.
Big Brother Naija
Zita was the first housemate revealed on the launch night of BBNaija Season 10, “10/10”, on July 26, 2025, Legit.ng reported. “Nobody will have my 100 per cent trust,” she said. She told the show the moment that made her apply was a past winner who started as the underdog.
Danboskid came first. He gave her something at the welcome dinner, and they were soon cuddling, which fans read as a strategy. “First of all, it was not a strategy,” she told Africa Magic. Danboskid was evicted on August 10, 2025, in week two. “My actual experience in Big Brother’s house started after he left because it forced me out of my comfort zone,” she said.
She found her feet fast after that. She won Head of House in week four, taking the title from Doris, and again in week eight on September 15, 2025, when she took it from Koyin within a day, Premium Times reported. That made her the season’s first two-time Head of House. “For the second time, Zita has been crowned the Head of House,” Big Brother announced, calling her the “resident Barbie of Season 10”.
Her last week was her hardest. On September 25, 2025, she threw a plate of noodles at Rooboy after a sponsored task and got a double strike, Channels TV reported. “One more strike and you will be disqualified from Big Brother’s house,” Biggie warned. She was evicted three days later, on September 28, with 1.49% of the vote, alongside Mide and Rooboy. Imisi won the season a week later. You can see every winner on our list of BBNaija seasons.
Controversies
The kitchen fight with Mide came first, in August 2025. Mide asked Zita for help with the cooking, words were exchanged, and Zita walked over with a pot and knocked the knife out of Mide’s hand, Legit.ng reported. Zita told Africa Magic that Mide told her to shut up twice. “Her intention was never to hurt me,” she said of the knife, while Mide said nobody should “physically try to hurt” anyone.
She also fell out with Doris, Big Soso and Sultana, whom she called out in the house after hearing them talk about her and her friend Tracy. Doris denied the claims, the Africa Magic interviewer told her. Zita stood by her account.
The Rooboy incident ended her game. Rooboy had pushed back after she threw the food, but Biggie gave the heavier penalty to her. She apologised the next morning, Premium Times reported, and again on stage. “That is not me, and not to Rooboy of all people,” she told Ebuka. “Rooboy is a sweetheart and I’m so sorry to him.”
Personal Life
Zita says she has never been in a relationship. “My love life is quite chaotic. I’ve never actually been in a relationship before,” she said in her profile video. “I’m not the problem. I promise you.”
Danboskid is the only man she linked up with on the show. She said the chapter with him was “sweet”, Channels TV reported, and that they would “see how it goes” outside. “I definitely have to speak to him,” she told Ebuka.
Her health made the news in May 2026. She posted a video of herself crying and using a nebulizer during a breathing scare, saying she lives alone and had to arrange her own ride, Legit.ng reported. Her best friend from the house is Tracy. “My actual friends in real life are like Tracies,” she told Africa Magic.
