Fortune smiled on the erstwhile Deputy Head of the House, Maria, on Monday when she replaced Pere as the new coordinator of Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eye Head for week four.

The change of guard took place when the housemates gathered at the Arena to take part in a contest to choose the new HOH.

The challenge entailed playing their usual board game which involved rolling a die and advancing on the board.

Each housemate was given 60 seconds to finish the course of the Head of House game and start playing according to the number of dice revealed.

The aim of this game of luck is to get the farthest within the time limit.

The housemate who finishes the course, or goes the farthest, wins and becomes the Head of House.

As fate would have it, Maria emerged victorious by garnering the highest points.

With her new position, the former air hostess is free from eviction, gets to stay in the Head of House lounge and choose a deputy to assist her in her role.

Peace was the first Head of House, Boma emerged as the Head of House in week two, while Pere recently handed over the emblem of power to Maria, the fourth Head of House for the season.
