BBNaija 10: Week 5 Recap – Sultana’s Stunning Interim HOH Takeover for Week 6

Week 5 in the Big Brother Naija house had it all: suspense, surprise twists, and a sardine-fueled showdown that shook alliances. As the game moves into deeper waters, cracks are showing, and the housemates are starting to feel the pressure.

Rooboy Grabs the Crown

The biggest headline was Rooboy snatching the Head of House crown from Jason Jae. The challenge was not for the faint-hearted. Blindfolded housemates had to dig through boxes filled with rabbits and birds in search of the HoH tag. Rooboy stayed calm, beat the others to it, and secured the win. His first move as HoH was picking Zita as his lounge partner, which was a fair payback since she had chosen him the week before.

Nominations? Cancelled!

Just when fans were bracing for another tense eviction, Biggie shook things up. Rooboy drew a special card from the Tree of Trinkets, cancelling all nominations. That meant everyone was safe for the week. With no eviction to reset tensions, unspoken grudges and hidden agendas are bound to boil over in Week 6.

The Sardine Fight

If there was ever proof that food can break friendships in the BBNaija house, this week provided it. Biggie issued a limited number of sardines, and chaos quickly ensued. Dede grabbed two tins, promising to share one with Mide. Isabella called her out for greed, dragging Koyin into the feud. What started as a simple disagreement over fish escalated into a heated showdown, exposing just how fragile alliances have become.

Tension Behind the Smiles

Beyond the headline moments, the house felt heavier. Diary sessions revealed housemates struggling with stress, prank scares rattled nerves, and the wager task tested their teamwork. With emotions running high, cracks are no longer easy to hide.

Sultana Takes the Reins

The Sunday live show set the stage for Week 6 with a dramatic shake-up. Sultana emerged as the new Head of House, while Joanna became the “house snail” after a low performance in the HoH challenge. Biggie also restricted certain privileges, leaving parts of the house off-limits and forcing housemates to adapt to a more challenging routine. The show had its fashion highlights as well. Ebuka stepped out in a striking traditional ensemble, complete with intricate embroidery and a dramatic headpiece. This was a reminder of why his style remains a live show standout. With Sultana in control, Week 6 promises even more drama, strategy, and unexpected twists.
