This season, Biggie changed the Head of House (HOH) selection to nominations as opposed to the usual games. Each pair were asked to walk into the Arena and given two minutes to select a pair to be this week’s HOH. However, housemates are not allowed to select their own pairs when casting their votes.

With a tie between Mbadiwe Twins and Radicals the Custodian pair NdiNne were given the responsibility to choose which of the tied pairs would be the HOH. And after deliberation, they choose the Mbadiwe Twins.

Their privileges will include access to the HOH condo, suggesting punishment of defaulting housemates to Biggie, coordinating tasks and the smooth running of the house. However, Biggie announced that this season the HOH privilege will not include immunity from eviction.

Here is how BBNaija Season 9 housemates voted for their first HOH: 

1. Nelita – Streeze
2. Beta – Chekas
3. Wanni✖Handi – Shatoria
4. Streeze – Nelita
5. NdiNne – Mbadiwe Twins
6. Aces – Radicals
7. Flourish – Mbadiwe Twins
8. Mbadiwe Twins – Zinwe
9. Shatoria – Wanni✖Handi
10. Zinwe – Flourish
11. Tami – Beta
12. Radicals – Double Kay
13. Chekas – Tami
14. Double Kay – Radicals 

Later this evening the housemates will nominate the pairs who will be up for possible eviction on Sunday, August 4, 2024. However, this will be with the exemption of the NdiNne pairs who have been saved by virtue of the Custodian title, which they won yesterday, Sunday, July 28, 2024.
