Ike’s HoH reign had been marred by challenges, which included a wager loss. However, when Mercy Eke took hold of the reins, a wave of calm and methodical planning washed over Biggie’s house. The stark contrast between the two HoH campaigns became immediately apparent when the housemates lauded Mercy Eke as an efficient leader in the diary room, through a display of positive anticipation for her HoH week.
Mercy Eke’s approach to leadership was one of collaboration and delegation. She appointed Frodd, one of her BFFs, as her second-in-command (2IC). He took on the responsibility of leading the house meetings, and his commitment to supporting Mercy Eke was evident as he made himself readily available whenever she required assistance.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Mercy Eke’s reign was her adept handling of house chores and responsibilities. Cleaning duties, often a source of contention and misunderstandings among the housemates, were allocated and executed smoothly under her leadership.
During the week, Mercy Eke and Frodd’s collaboration reached its highest as they worked closely on a wager task, which they ultimately won.

However, Mercy Eke’s reign was not without its challenges. Two housemates, Ike and Soma, received strikes for violating Big Brother’s rules, reflecting the complexity of maintaining order within the Big Brother Naija house. Additionally, romance played a significant role during the week, as affectionate moments were witnessed among housemates, including a sealed ship with a kiss between Adekunle and Venita.

As Mercy Eke’s reign comes to an end, one question remains: Will the next HoH, should it not be Mercy Eke again, maintain the sense of order and collaboration? Or will the house return to the chaos that had marked the previous reign?
