Chimsom Chuka has emerged as the first Head of House in Big Brother Naija Season 11 after topping the opening challenge, while Tram secured a place in the Head of House lounge through a lucky dip, picked Sheba to share it with him, and Abi was named Deputy Head of House.

The contest took place on Monday, the first full day of the season, with male and female housemates competing separately before their overall performances were compared.

Chimsom posted the fastest overall time to clinch the Head of House title.

Under a new twist introduced this season, though, winning the challenge no longer automatically grants access to the Head of House lounge, even though it still comes with immunity from eviction.

Instead, organisers introduced a Lucky Dip Box, which required the new Head of House to randomly draw the name of a fellow housemate who would occupy the exclusive lounge for the week.

Chimsom’s draw produced Tram, granting him lounge access.

Tram was then allowed to pick another housemate to share the space with him and chose Sheba.

Although Tram and Sheba will spend the week in the Head of House lounge, Chimsom’s prize for winning remains eviction immunity along with the leadership powers that come with the position.

Abi, a chef and model from Osun State, placed second overall in the challenge and was announced as Deputy Head of House.

Ahead of entering the house, Chimsom, a 27-year-old pharmacist and actor from Anambra State, had said his greatest asset in the competition would be staying true to himself.

In his pre-show introduction, he expressed hope that viewers would relate to his genuine personality rather than a calculated strategy.

The new twist is one of the standout features of the “Show Ya Sef” edition of the show, effectively separating eviction immunity from residence in the Head of House lounge.

As at the time of this report, housemates were still going through the nomination process ahead of the next phase of the competition.
