Big Brother Naija champion Imisi finally claims her grand prize, but her choice of outfit has sparked quite the buzz!
After weeks of anticipation, Opeyemi Imisi Ayanwale, the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 10, has officially received her well-deserved rewards. Known for her humor and charm throughout the show, Imisi impressed fans as she stood out from the other five finalists to clinch the ultimate victory after nearly three months competing with 29 housemates.
The recent footage and photos circulated from the prize presentation ceremony show a moment of triumph as Imisi was handed a symbolic cheque by a female representative. This cheque indicates an impressive cash reward of 80 million Nigerian Naira—this figure reflects the remaining amount after the deduction of the value of her brand-new car from the total grand prize of 150 million Naira.
The sleek new jeep was proudly displayed behind her during the handover, alongside the key to her vehicle, spotlighting the tangible rewards for her victory.
What really caught people’s attention, though, was Imisi’s dressing—quite a departure from her usual laid-back style. She stepped out in a sophisticated wine-colored, knee-length dress paired with elegant black high heels. Her hair was immaculately styled, with gentle frills framing her face, presenting a polished and mature look that surprised many fans who were used to her casual image.
The reaction from her fan base was overwhelmingly positive, with many celebrating her success and expressing pride. One enthusiastic supporter explained how their votes had truly counted, praising her strategic gameplay and delightful personality throughout the show.
But here’s where it gets controversial: some fans questioned the authenticity of her earlier behavior on the show. They drew attention to her famously casual footwear—green crocs—which she sported during the grand finale, contrasting strongly with her current glamorous outfit. This discrepancy prompted some viewers to suggest that Imisi might have been putting on a facade rather than being completely genuine.
Here’s a quick snapshot of the different fan reactions:
- @afiaagyeiwaafrimpong said, "Congratulations Imisi, you entertained us; love it or hate it, you’re the winner. Haters will always hate."
- @nweke_kenechukwu challenged her authenticity with, "What happened to the crocs? Forgot them again, huh? Mrs. Pretender."
- @bledinash simply noted her style, "She’s wearing heels now. Congrats, though."
- @zobovita pointed out, "Hope the haters see how simple she looks, even her hair. Still pretending?"
- @ezekiel_ministries offered a spiritual perspective, "God chooses to bless whoever He wants without anyone’s permission."
- @ellathe_great proudly added, "Star girl, I voted and I’m so happy it counted. Big congrats."
Interestingly, this discussion isn't isolated to Imisi alone. Another Big Brother Naija contestant, Kellyrae, also shared his plans for his prize money before the grand finale. He intended to invest his winnings wisely, supporting both his family and his music career. This plan stirred a lively debate among fans, as many voiced their opinions online, encouraging him in his endeavors while questioning his strategy.
What does all this say about the expectations audiences have for reality TV stars after the cameras stop rolling? Does dressing up symbolize success, or does it expose contradictions in perceived authenticity? And most importantly, how much does image influence public opinion beyond gameplay?
