BBNaija 11 Chimsom Emerges as First Head of House; Tram, Sheba Get Lounge

Chimsom Chuka has become the first Head of House in Big Brother Naija Season 11. The 27-year-old pharmacist from Anambra State won the title after posting the fastest time in the opening Head of House challenge held on Monday, the first full day of the show.

The male housemates and female housemates competed separately, and their times were then compared to determine the fastest overall. Chimsom came out on top. Abi, a chef and model from Osun State, finished second and was named Deputy Head of House.

Winning the title gives Chimsom immunity from eviction this week, along with other Head of House privileges and a special treat from Big Brother.

But this season came with a twist. Unlike previous editions, the Head of House will not automatically move into the Head of House lounge. Instead, Big Brother introduced a new rule, the HoH has to pick a housemate from the Lucky Dip Box to stay in the lounge for the week.

Chimsom’s pick landed on Tram, the 24-year-old streamer from Lagos State. Tram was then given the chance to choose another housemate to share the lounge with him. He picked Sheba.

So this week, Chimsom holds the immunity, but Tram and Sheba are the ones enjoying the Head of House lounge.

Season 11 premiered on Saturday, July 26, 2026, with the theme “Everything Is For The Taking,” and 24 housemates are in the house chasing a record ₦160 million grand prize.
