When Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the show’s host, announced Imisi as the winner, the studio erupted in cheers. Confetti rained down, housemates embraced, and social media platforms exploded in celebration.
Dressed in a stunning white native lace outfit paired with wine aso oke, the 23-year-old actor and fashion designer was visibly emotional, shedding tears of gratitude as she addressed the nation.
Before the crowning moment, Ebuka delivered a string of surprise evictions that kept fans on edge:
First to exit were Kayode (aka Kaybobo) and Isabella George, whose joint eviction shocked many. Kaybobo was beloved for his comedic charm, while Isabella won hearts with her confident presence and subtle strategy.
Soon after, Jason Jae and Mensan were evicted—another unexpected turn. Jason, dubbed the “gentle strategist,” and Mensan, admired for his creativity and charisma, had both been seen as strong contenders.
In an emotional twist, Kola, Sultana, and Koyin followed. Their departure left both housemates and fans in tears. Sultana’s boldness, Koyin’s warmth, and Kola’s quiet brilliance had all made lasting impressions on the BBNaija community.
As the curtains close on this historic season, Imisi’s win stands as a testament to resilience, authenticity, and connection with fans. With her new title and millions in prizes, she now begins a new chapter in the limelight.
