Biggie removes Custodian powers, HOH ballot, restores immunity for Head of House

  • Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) Season 9 organisers have removed the Custodian Challenge and Head of House (HOH) ballot from the season.
  • The HOH now has immunity but no longer has the “save and replace” power.

With the elimination of these features, the role of Head of House has undergone a significant modification.

The position has regained its immunity privilege, but the “save and replace” power, which allowed the HOH to save a nominated housemate and replace them with another, has been removed.

Additionally, housemates will no longer vote to evict the bottom four pairs directly. Instead, they are now tasked with nominating pairs for eviction, with the final decision on which pairs are evicted determined by viewer votes.
