  • Chimsom Chuka became the first Head of House in Big Brother Naija season 11, earning immunity from eviction.
  • He won the inaugural Head of House task, but a new twist means he must select a housemate via lucky dip to occupy the luxury loft.
  • Chimsom, a 27-year-old pharmacist and actor, aims to be authentic during the competition for the โ‚ฆ160 million grand prize.

Chimsom Chuka, a pharmacist and actor from Anambra, has secured the coveted position of the first Head of House in the 11th season of Big Brother Naija. His victory came after he completed the opening Head of House challenge in the fastest time on Monday, the first full day of the competition. This win grants him immunity from eviction for the week, a significant advantage in the reality show.

However, this season introduces a major twist: the Head of House will not automatically reside in the luxurious loft. Instead, Chimsom must use a lucky dip to choose another housemate who will gain access to the exclusive quarters. He selected Tram, who then chose Sheba to share the loft with him. Despite not occupying the loft, Chimsom retains the immunity and other leadership privileges associated with the Head of House role.

Before entering the house, the 27-year-old described himself as someone who thrives under pressure and intends to remain genuine throughout the competition. He believes his greatest strength is being himself and hopes viewers will connect with his authentic personality. The housemates are currently engaged in the nomination process for potential eviction later in the week, as they vie for the grand prize of โ‚ฆ160 million in the "Show Ya Sef" edition.

The biggest strength I have is being myself
