By Funmilayo Olusanya
For the second time this season, Big Brother Naija housemate, Hermes emerged as the Head of the House, thus gaining Immunity for the week.
After his first win on day 9 of the show, Hermes has found his way to the Head of House Crown again after winning this week’s Challenge.
The Challenge to gain Immunity for the week took place in two rounds. The first round was a fishing game; Housemates were required to use a makeshift fishing pole and magnetic hooks to catch as many fish as possible from an imaginary stream of water.
The top two male and female Housemates who acquired the highest number of fish with the most value made it to the next round.
Chichi, Chomzy, Eloswag, and Hermes were the top contenders that battled against Hermes for the Head of House Title.
For the next round of Games, the top four housemates had to find the fish with Head of House written on the flipside from a pond of 24 randomly placed fish. This challenge was difficult for the other contenders but Hermes, who initially emerged as the 4th best performing Housemate in the first round.
On finding the fish, Biggie congratulated Hermes on his win and asked him to select a female housemate with whom he would like to share the Head of House room. Hermes picked Allysyn, who accepted his offer but would not be getting Immunity this week.

Before the Games started, Allysyn was relieved of her title as Tail of House as Big Brother was satisfied with how she handled her punishment.
Together with the outgoing Head of House Dotun, fellow Tail of House Sheggz was unable to participate in the Challenge, and as a result, he lost the title.
Biggie gave Sheggz an apron to wear, and for the remainder of the week, Housemates were required to send Sheggz on an errand, and he was to serve them. The Level Up Housemates will receive a penalty for failing to assign Sheggz tasks.

Naira Abuse: EFCC Scapegoating Celebs, Says Actor Seun Jimoh
Nollywood actor, Seun Jimoh has accused the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of using famous people as “scapegoats” in its ongoing campaign against those who misuse Naira.
He mentioned this days after crossdresser Bobrisky was imprisoned for a comparable crime, with the Commission scheduled to arraign well-known socialite Pascal Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, for a similar offence.
Jimoh said it is “unfair that certain people are being selected for a crime almost 70% of Nigerians or more are guilty of with overwhelming video evidence all over the internet.”
He argued that the “scapegoat approach to cultural reforms is quite sinister and lacks any concern for the mental health of the Nigerian citizens.”
On his Instagram page, he wrote, “It looks like scapegoats are being selected to send a message to the general populace. But then, is it not unfair that certain people are being selected for a crime almost 70% of Nigerians or more are guilty of with overwhelming video evidence all over the internet?!
“Why hasn’t anyone ever caught on video spraying money between the time the law has been in effect till now being arrested? Why celebrities? Celebrities are citizens too! This scapegoat approach to cultural reforms is quite sinister and lacks any concern for the mental health of the Nigerian citizens.”
