Opeyemi “Imisi” Ayanwale has won Big Brother Naija Season 10. She is now Nigeria’s newest reality TV celebrity and has won the ₦150 million grand prize.
After 10 weeks of intrigue, scheming, alliances, emotional breakdowns, and pure fun, she finally showed up.
There was a lot of suspense and excitement in the grand finale last night as nine roommates fought for the top spot.
Dede was the runner-up after this.
Deloitte checked the data, and M-Net validated it.
The studio went wild when Ebuka said Imisi was the winner.
There was a lot of confetti, housemates cheered, and social media went crazy.
The 23-year-old actor and fashion designer wore a white native lace and wine aso oke and said thank you, crying.
Shocking Evictions
Before the big moment, though, the host of the show, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, kicked out a number of people in unexpected ways that left spectators on the edge of their seats.
Kayode, who is better known as Kaybobo, and Isabella George were the first to leave the house. Their expulsion caused loud gasps from the live audience.
Fans loved both Kaybobo and Isabella this season. Kaybobo was fun and funny, while Isabella was confident and played the game in a clever way.
Soon after, Jason Jae and Mensan were kicked out, leaving only five people in the running.
Many fans were shocked by their departure because they were both seen as possible finalists.
People called Jason the “gentle strategist” because he was quiet and intelligent. Mensan was a favorite in the house because he was creative and charming.
Then came the sad moment when Kola, Sultana, and Koyin all had to go in a short amount of time.
Their leaving made both housemates and fans cry. Sultana’s brave confidence, Koyin’s humor and tenderness, and Kola’s quiet brilliance made them stand out in this season of BBNaija.
Imisi: From Underdog to Fan Favorite
Imisi, who was sometimes called “the calm storm,” stood out for her emotional intelligence and quiet leadership as the tension grew.
She wasn’t the loudest person in the room, but she was smart, down-to-earth, and real, which is a unique combination that really connected with people.
From the start, Imisi found her place as a team player who stayed out of unnecessary drama yet dealt with conflicts like an adult.
People on social media really supported her because she was so open and honest, especially when she was having heart-to-heart talks in the diary room.
People think that her turning moment came in Week 6 when she won the Head of House challenge, which led her team to win two tasks in a row and made her a strong candidate.
She also won several brand tasks, which showed her ingenuity and work ethic.
Many people said that her emotional connection with a housemate was one of the most real partnerships on the show. It brought a romantic element to her story without taking away from her uniqueness.
Season 10
“Next Level” was the theme for Season 10, and it lived true to its name.
It had unexpected turns, new alliances, and one of the most competitive endings in recent memory.
But the people who lived in the house had different plans.
Kola played the “silent observer,” moving in and out at important times.
Sultana showed courage and charisma, making her one of the most well-known people of the season.
Koyin was funny and sensitive at the same time, which made him popular and hated.
Mensan was very creative, but sometimes too sure of himself.
Jason Jae quietly earned the loyalty and esteem of his peers.
Kaybobo was funny and real.
Isabella was brave, honest, and unfiltered, which made her stand out.
Each one added something special to a season that drew in viewers from all over Africa and beyond.
Her success puts her in the same league as other famous Big Brother Naija winners like Whitemoney, Phyna, Mercy, and Ilebaye, who all show different kinds of strength and honesty.
But for Imisi, this is just the beginning. A new star is blossoming from one of Africa’s largest reality shows.
