Opeyemi Imisi Ayanwale, the champion of the tenth season of the popular reality television show Big Brother Naija, has officially received her prize package valued at ₦150 million (approximately $180,000 USD).
The presentation ceremony marked the culmination of the reality star’s victory, which followed nearly three months spent in the BBNaija house. Imisi, who gained significant traction from a viral post-show interview with host Ebuka, was presented with the rewards Tuesday.
Prize Details and Appearance
The prize package included a brand-new Jeep and a substantial cash prize. Imisi was photographed receiving a dummy cheque reflecting ₦80 million, which represents the remaining cash prize after the cost of her car was deducted from the total ₦150 million reward.
Stepping away from the simple, casual style she displayed in the house—particularly her trademark green Crocs during the finale—Imisi appeared at the presentation in a glamorous fashion. She wore an elegant wine-colored knee-length dress, black heels, and neatly styled hair.
Mixed Fan Reaction
The champion’s polished appearance drew mixed reactions from fans online, highlighting ongoing debates about her authenticity during the show.
Many admirers congratulated her, with one fan praising her strong gameplay: “Congratulations Imisi, u gave us a show whether a game or not u are the winner. Haters gonna hate.”
However, others criticized her departure from her casual in-house persona. One skeptic commented: “What happened to her crocs she forgot to wear it again. Mrs pretender.”
Despite the scrutiny, Imisi’s victory and the subsequent prize collection remain the highlight of the season.
