Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner, Opeyemi Ayanwale, popularly known as Imisi, has opened up about her shocking victory at the recently concluded reality show.
Speaking in a post-show interview with Arise TV, the reality star revealed that she never expected to win and was completely unprepared for the announcement that changed her life.
Imisi, who emerged the winner on Sunday night, said she was overwhelmed with emotions and anxiety before her name was announced. She explained that the thought of being called out as the winner had not crossed her mind, as she considered herself an underdog compared to her fellow housemates.
“Winning the reality show was shocking to me. Sincerely, I was not expecting to win,” she said. “Before I got on the stage, I was tensed just hearing the crowd chant my name. I was shocked when I was announced the winner.”
The 26-year-old also revealed that her lack of preparation reflected in her choice of outfit for the grand finale. According to her, she wore crocs instead of heels because she didn’t imagine she would make it far enough to be in the spotlight that night.
“I wore crocs to the stage because I am not comfortable in heels. I did not even plan for the live show,” she said with a smile.
Despite her modest expectations, Imisi’s authenticity and relatability clearly resonated with fans across the country, who voted massively to secure her win. She beat her closest rival, Dede, by a wide margin to claim the ₦150 million grand prize, which included ₦80 million in cash and a brand-new Innoson SUV.
Her victory sparked widespread excitement among fans who praised her for being genuine and humble throughout the show. Many viewers described her as the “people’s choice,” highlighting her calm personality and emotional intelligence as key factors that won her public affection.
Imisi also spoke briefly about her mental state before the announcement, sharing how she battled anxiety as the final moments of the show approached. “I was really nervous. Everything was happening so fast, and I could hardly process what was going on,” she admitted.
The BBNaija Season 10 finale was one of the most anticipated events of the year, drawing millions of viewers across Africa. The reality show, known for its intense competition and emotional highs, ended on a celebratory note as Imisi’s name was called.
Her win adds to the growing list of women who have dominated the BBNaija franchise in recent years. Fans and celebrities have since taken to social media to congratulate her, hailing her as a deserving winner and a role model for young women who value authenticity over pretense.
The elated winner received her grand prize on Tuesday during a presentation ceremony organized by the show’s producers, where she expressed gratitude to her supporters, family, and the Big Brother Naija team for believing in her journey.
Daily Post recalls that Imisi’s humility and emotional honesty stood out during her time in the house, earning her a strong fan base and a reputation as one of the most relatable contestants in the show’s history.
