Imisi Ayanwale on Sunday night emerged as the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 10, clinching the coveted title after weeks of intense competition, drama, and entertainment that kept millions of viewers glued to their screens.
The outspoken and humorous contestant walked away with a grand prize of ₦150 million, including ₦80 million in cash and other rewards, after securing 42.8 per cent of the total votes.
Her closest rival, Dede, finished as the first runner-up with 15.94 per cent of the votes, followed by Koyin (15.23%), Sultana (7.94%), Kola (5.48%), Jason Jae (4.84%), Mensan (3.54%), Isabella (3.07%), and Kaybobo (1.72%).
Imisi, fondly called “Ijoba 606” by her teeming supporters, endeared herself to fans with her sharp wit, playful personality, and authenticity. Her comic timing and ability to diffuse tension during heated moments in the house made her one of the standout figures of the season.
The season finale saw heightened emotions as Koyin’s unexpected eviction left viewers stunned, before Imisi and Dede were called to exit the house for the live stage announcement. In keeping with tradition, the Big Brother house lights were dimmed afterward, marking the end of another memorable season.
Season 10 of the reality show has been described as one of the most captivating yet, featuring dramatic twists, emotional evictions, and viral highlights that dominated social media conversations for weeks.
With her victory, Imisi joins the prestigious league of past winners including Mercy Eke, Laycon, Whitemoney, Phyna, and Ilebaye — each remembered for leaving an indelible mark on the Big Brother Naija legacy.
