Reality TV personality, Ilebaye Odiniya has emerged winner of the Big Brother Naija “All Star” reality show.
She defeated other housemates winning the 120 million cash prize during the finale of the show yesterday in Lagos.
This was announced by Mr Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the host of the show.
It would be recalled that Ilebaye was the third housemate to be evicted from Season 7 of the reality TV show in 2022.
Her victory makes her the third female to clinch the BBNaija top prize.
Illebaye, a 22 years old Criminologist is also the youngest housemate to ever win the show.
She won after defeating five other finalists to clinch the N120m grand prize.
The season can be described as the most competitive because it is star-studded.
She will also be walking away with some other consolation prizes.
Illebaye’s emotional moments during the show earned her more sympathy and ultimately led to her victory.
Mercy Eke, who was the first runner-up, won season four of Big Brother Naija in 2019, becoming the first woman to win the reality show.
Mercy bagged N60 million during the ‘Pepper Dem’ edition.
31-year-old lawyer from the ‘Double Wahala’ edition, Cynthia Nwadiora, popularly known as CeeC, emerged the second runner-up.
Adekunle Olopade, a 27-year-old digital consultant and entrepreneur from Lagos State, emerged the third runner-up with Pere Egbi as the fourth runner-up and Cross Okonkwo, the fifth runner-up.
According to Lagos Local News, the BBNaija all-stars edition premiered on 23rd July with CeeC, Pere, White Money, Alex and 16 other ex-housemates competing for the N120m cash, the highest ever since the inception of BBNaija.
