Big Brother Naija Season 10 Crowned a New Champion
Imisi Ayanwale made history on Sunday by winning the tenth season of Big Brother Naija, securing a staggering N80 million in cash and an additional N150 million in grand prizes. Her victory marked the culmination of months filled with drama, laughter, and unforgettable moments that captivated audiences across Nigeria.
The final episode was an electrifying affair, with Imisi emerging as the winner after a fierce competition against some of the most formidable contestants. Among her key rivals were Dede, who took the first runner-up position, as well as Koyin, Kola, Isabella, and Kaybobo. Each of these housemates brought unique strengths to the game, but it was Imisi’s charisma and humor that ultimately won over the judges and the public.
Known for her witty remarks and playful personality, Imisi quickly became a fan favorite. Her comic timing and authenticity allowed her to stand out in a house full of diverse personalities. She had a knack for lightening tense situations, making her one of the most relatable and enjoyable contestants of the season.
Her journey was not without challenges. Imisi displayed remarkable resilience during tough tasks, which earned her respect from both fellow housemates and viewers. This combination of humor and strength helped her build a loyal fanbase known as “Ijoba 606,” who supported her throughout the season.
The finale was a dramatic moment for all involved. After Koyin was unexpectedly evicted, Dede and Imisi were instructed to leave the house for the stage. As per the show’s tradition, the lights were turned off in the house following their exit, creating an emotional moment for fans who had followed the housemates’ journey for weeks.
This edition of Big Brother Naija proved to be one of the most engaging yet, featuring unexpected twists, emotional evictions, and viral highlights that dominated social conversations for weeks. The season premiered across two nights, Saturday and Sunday, July 26 and 27, 2025, and began with 29 housemates. However, only nine contestants made it to the final showdown.
The final group included Kola, Imisi, Isabella, Sultana, Jason Jae, Mensan, Koyin, Kaybobo, and Dede. Faith, who also made it to the finals, was disqualified a few days ago. While all the finalists had their supporters, a few emerged as clear fan favorites based on their gameplay, charisma, and online buzz.
With her win, Imisi joins the ranks of previous champions such as Mercy Eke, Laycon, Whitemoney, Phyna, and Ilebaye, among others. These past winners are remembered for their unique imprint on the Big Brother legacy, and Imisi is now part of that esteemed group.
