Imisi Crowned Winner of BBNaija Season 10 After Tense Finale Showdown
The Big Brother Naija Season 10 finale ended in high drama on Sunday night as Imisioluwa, popularly known as Imisi, was crowned the winner of the 10/10 edition, beating Dede in a tense final two showdown that kept millions of viewers across Nigeria on edge.
The moment host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu announced her name, social media erupted with celebration and debate. For many, Imisi’s victory felt well-deserved after a season filled with strategy, emotion, and non-stop entertainment. Others, however, described the outcome as controversial, insisting their favourites were “robbed.”
Imisi’s journey through the house was anything but ordinary. From the first week, she made headlines with her authenticity, emotional depth, and high-energy personality. Her bond with fellow housemate Kola, famously dubbed the ImiKola ship, became one of the season’s biggest talking points, dominating social media trends and keeping fans glued to the show.
Her gameplay also combined skill with charm. She secured early immunity in Week 1, showing from the onset that she was a serious contender. Despite being nominated multiple times, Imisi consistently survived eviction rounds, a feat that underscored her strong fan support outside the house.
When housemate Faith was disqualified mid-season, Imisi found herself at the centre of the storm. Yet, her emotional diary sessions, where she opened up about her struggles and moments of vulnerability, resonated deeply with viewers who saw her as “real” and “relatable.”
Her creative performances in sponsored tasks further cemented her status as one of the most versatile contestants of the season. By the final week, she was dominating online polls and trending charts, with several evicted housemates publicly predicting her win.
However, not all fans were pleased. Supporters of Dede and Mensan voiced their frustrations online, with some alleging manipulation in the final voting process. “Mensan our winner with valid votes… others will cry plenty tears,” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Despite the mixed reactions, analysts say Imisi’s win reflects the power of personality-driven storytelling in reality TV. “She wasn’t perfect — she was raw, unpredictable, and human,” one fan commented. “That’s what made her unforgettable.”
Imisi walks away with the ₦150 million grand prize package, including a new car, a fully furnished apartment, and luxury gifts from sponsors. Her win caps off a season that will be remembered for its intensity, viral moments, and unfiltered human drama.
