Big Brother Naija Winner Imisi Ayanwale Opens Up on Strategy, Friendship, and Faith in Ebuka Interview
Imisi Ayanwale, the 23-year-old winner of Big Brother Naija Season 10, has shared new insights into her journey to victory in an exclusive 23-minute interview with show host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, released on the official BBNaija YouTube channel on Tuesday.
The conversation offered fans a closer look at Imisi’s strategic gameplay, emotional growth, and the personal meaning behind her name — “Imisi,” which translates to “hope” in Yoruba.
Speaking on her approach to the game, Imisi revealed that her strategy was built around authenticity, observation, and emotional intelligence, noting that she chose to “connect with people’s hearts rather than their egos.”
She also addressed widespread speculation about a possible love triangle involving fellow housemates Faith and Kaybobo, clarifying that her relationship with Faith was purely platonic.
“Faith and I shared mutual respect and understanding. There was never any romantic tension just friendship and support,” she explained.
Imisi further discussed her style evolution, her resilience in overcoming personal challenges, and how her background in Mass Communication from Yaba College of Technology helped her communicate confidently and stay grounded in the spotlight.
The interview coincided with the presentation of her ₦150 million grand prize, which includes ₦80 million in cash, an Innoson SUV, and other sponsored rewards at a ceremony in Lagos.
Since its release, the video has garnered over 1,300 engagements on X (formerly Twitter), sparking mixed reactions. While many praised her authenticity and emotional depth, others debated her English proficiency, with fans defending her as “real, unfiltered, and relatable.”
“Imisi’s story is about courage and hope — she’s not just a winner, she’s a reflection of resilience,” one viewer commented.

BBNaija Season 10 Drama: Faith Disqualified After Fight With Sultana

The Big Brother Naija house just got hotter! Faith Adewale has been disqualified from the ongoing BBNaija Season 10 after a heated clash with fellow housemate Sultana.
Biggie made the shocking announcement on Thursday during an emergency meeting, ordering Faith to pack up and leave the house immediately.
Why Faith Adewale Was Disqualified From BBNaija 10
The drama started during a group task when Sultana accused Faith of being too controlling. Things spiraled out of hand as Faith yanked a basket of materials, making Sultana fall and injure her hand. Kaybobo stepped in, but it was too late — the damage was done.
Big Brother later ruled that Faith’s actions violated the strict no-violence rule, leading to her disqualification.

This shocking exit marks one of the biggest twists of the “10/10” season so far. Fans are already buzzing — was the punishment fair or too harsh? 👀
