The crowning of IMIsis as winner of Big Brother Naija Season 10 has sparked heated debate among fans, with many divided over whether her victory stemmed from sympathy or genuine support.
According to figures shared by Big Brother Naija on Sunday, other finalists trailed behind: Koyin (15.23%), Sultana (7.94%), Kola (5.48%), Jason Jae (4.24%), Mensan (3.54%), Isabella (3.07%), and Kaybobo (1.72%).
In social media reactions, one fan asked: “How did she win with just pity vote?” Critics argue her win was a “pity vote,” pointing to past health challenges she shared on the show. Others countered, saying she earned it through authenticity and dedication.
“Imisi winning #BBNaija really says a lot about what we celebrate in this country. We keep rewarding drama and pity over intelligence and substance. Then we wonder why our politics and society look the way they do.”
Another post went further, suggesting her victory was undeserved charity: “The money was faithfully given to Imisi as charity, since she begged for it.”
Similarly, DavidPattt lumped her with previous winners accused of playing the “pity” card, writing, “Laycon – pity. Whitemoney – pity. Phyna – razz/pity. Ilebaye – pity. Imisi – pity.”
IMIsis, in her acceptance speech, thanked her support base and pledged continued positive influence. Her win also pushes discussions on fairness, emotional appeal, and public voting dynamics in reality TV competitions.
