Big Brother Naija Season 10 has once again kept fans and housemates on their toes with a shocking twist, as housemate Zita has officially emerged as the new Head of House (HOH). What makes this development even more surprising is the fact that it happened barely 24 hours after Doris had been crowned, marking one of the fastest turnovers of power in the show’s history.
The unexpected change of leadership unfolded during Monday’s Head of House challenge. In a tense and competitive round, Zita went head-to-head with fellow housemates Ivatar, Denari, Isabella, and the reigning HOH Doris. Displaying focus, determination, and composure under pressure, Zita eventually outshone her rivals to seize the crown, stunning both the audience and the housemates who had expected Doris to enjoy a longer reign.
Shortly after her victory, Biggie made the announcement that changed the house’s atmosphere: “Housemates, your new Head of House is Zita. Kindly select your house guest.” With little hesitation, Zita chose Rooboy as her guest, a decision that quickly triggered conversations, speculations, and even subtle tensions among the other contestants. Viewers have since taken to social media to analyze her choice, debating what it could mean for alliances, strategies, and possible relationships within the House.
As the new HOH, Zita now enjoys a long list of privileges, including full immunity from nominations, exclusive access to the luxury HOH lounge, and the power to directly influence the house’s dynamics throughout the week. Beyond these, she also gains the special deputy privilege, which allows her to extend influence over certain strategic decisions — a feature that could play a critical role in shaping alliances, rivalries, and eventual evictions in the coming days.
This dramatic dethronement of Doris, barely a day after she was celebrated as HOH, serves as proof that this season of Big Brother Naija is designed to be more unpredictable than ever. By shaking up the leadership so quickly, Biggie has ensured that both housemates and fans remain alert, uncertain, and highly engaged with the unfolding drama. Already, viewers are describing the move as one of the most thrilling twists so far, a game-changing moment that could alter the pace and strategies in the weeks to come.
