Lagos, Nigeria — The 10th edition of Big Brother Naija — tagged “10/10” — has come to a close, and Opeyemi “Imisi” Ayanwale has been announced as the winner. Imisi, 23, walked away with the ₦150 million grand prize following a dramatic finale held Sunday night, October 5, 2025.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

How She Won

Out of 29 housemates, Imisi outlasted eight finalists, including Dede (runner-up), Koyin, Kola, Isabella, Kaybobo, Jason Jae, Mensan, and Sultana. She earned 42.8% of the public votes, while Dede and Koyin trailed with around 15.9% and 15.2% respectively.

Prize Breakdown & Finale Surprises

  • The ₦150 million reward includes ₦80 million in cash plus other sponsor gifts.
  • However, during the finale, it was revealed that the prize pot was reduced via deductions: Imisi ultimately took home ₦80 million cash. (The Guardian Nigeria)
  • Some deductions came from housemate choices — for example, Kaybobo accepted a “Red Phone Twist” immunity offer that cost the pot significantly.

What Set Imisi Apart

Imisi’s style throughout the show was defined by her authenticity, humour, and relatability. Viewers were drawn in by her bold personality, spontaneous humour, ability to lighten tense moments, and her unfiltered self-expression. She also had a strong fanbase behind her, known by many sources.

The Final Night: Evictions & Highlights

As the final event unfolded:

  • The first to leave among the final nine was Kaybobo, followed by Isabella, Mensan, Jason Jae, Kola, Sultana, and finally Koyin, leading to the final two: Imisi and Dede.
  • The show was hosted by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, who brought the glitz and flair expected of a milestone finale. Performances by popular musicians added to the spectacle.

Why This Season Matters

Season 10 of BBNaija is being seen as one of the most competitive and engaging to date. Highlights:

  • Record number of 29 contestants — the largest cast in the show’s history.
  • Multiple twists, evictions, dramatic moments, and social media buzz kept viewers invested throughout the 10 weeks.
  • Imisi is now one of only a few women to have won the show.

Implications & What’s Next for Imisi

Winning Big Brother Naija often opens doors beyond the show. For Imisi, the win is likely to lead to:

  • Brand endorsements
  • Media and entertainment opportunities
  • A platform to expand her work in fashion and acting (her stated passions when entering the show)

Her victory also underscores the power of authenticity in reality TV — viewers clearly resonated with her being herself unapologetically.

Bottom Line

Imisi’s win marks the successful conclusion to a season full of surprises. With ₦150 million in prizes (₦80 million cash after deductions), 29 contestants, and a nail-biting final showdown against Dede and others, BBNaija Season 10 has reaffirmed why it remains one of Nigeria’s top reality TV shows. Imisi now joins the names of past winners with her own story that resonated widely.
