Big Brother Naija Season 10 housemate Zita has emerged as the new Head of House (HoH), dethroning interim leader Doris just 24 hours after her initial crowning.
The announcement, made via the official Big Brother Naija X account, sent shockwaves through the house and sparked fervent reactions among fans: “HoH Alert! Zita takes the crown this week.👑 Biggie’s house, brace yourselves – Zita is in charge!”
Zita, born Elizabeth Oloruntola, clinched the coveted title after outperforming competitors, including Doris, Jason Jae, Isabella, Denari, and Ivatar, in Monday’s high-stakes HoH challenge, a test of endurance, skill, and strategy.
Her victory, described as a “bold new reign” by Africa Magic, marks her as the second female HoH of the season, reinforcing the growing influence of women in the BBNaija house.
Fans on X erupted with excitement, with @Fswglory proclaiming, “The girls are killing it 💃🏽💃🏽 Zita is the new HOH 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾,” reflecting the electric sentiment surrounding her win.
The 24-year-old model, student, and content creator from Ogun State, known for her “aesthetic chaos and main-character energy,” chose Rooboy as her deputy and house guest, granting them both access to the luxurious HoH lounge.
This strategic move, coupled with her immunity from nominations, positions Zita to wield significant influence over the house dynamics for the week.
“Zita’s swift victory reshuffles the house dynamics and demonstrates the unpredictable nature of the game,” noted a report from Nigerian Bulletin.
The twist, part of BBNaija’s innovative “10/10” format, saw Doris, who had been crowned interim HoH on Sunday, lose her title in a special Monday challenger game, leaving her visibly emotional.
“Unfortunately Doris could not defend her HOH title, the new head of house is Zita,” posted @ChimmieeHQ, capturing the bittersweet moment.
The shake-up underscores the season’s relentless pace, with fans like @Tr0ubleXela celebrating Zita’s rise: “Yaaaaay! My girl Zita is the new HOH, congratulations to her!”
Zita’s ascent comes amid a season of high drama, with recent evictions of Kayinkunmi and Otega and Sabrina’s controversial exit due to health concerns.
As the remaining 24 housemates vie for the record-breaking ₦150 million grand prize, Zita’s leadership promises to steer the house into uncharted territory.
