The Final Nine

Standing tall on finale night are Imisi, Dede, Koyin, Sultana, Jason Jae, Kaybobo, Kola, Mensan, and Isabella -the nine housemates who have survived evictions, alliances, and intense public scrutiny.

Imisi (Opeyemi Ayanwale), fondly called the “funny queen,” has emerged as a clear fan favourite. Her humour, authenticity, and emotional openness have made her one of the most loved contestants this season.

Evicted housemates including Zita, Rooboy, Mide, and Sabrina have publicly endorsed her as the most deserving of the crown, describing her as “real, warm, and relatable.”

Dede (Precious Ashiogwu), the outspoken Delta-born entrepreneur, remains the season’s wild card — fearless, expressive, and often controversial. Her reservations, confrontations and witty remarks earned her both critics and admirers.

Koyin (Koyinsola Sanusi), the 21-year-old model from Ogun State, has thrived on his charisma and romantic escapades. His relationships with Sultana and Isabella kept him trending, while his fan base, the Koyinstars, has proven fiercely loyal.

Sultana (Farida Ibrahim), once at the centre of controversy following Faith Adewale’s disqualification for assaulting her, has earned respect for her resilience and emotional strength. Her ability to connect deeply with others has positioned her as one of the strongest female contenders.

Jason Jae (Ayomide James), the creative director and final Head of House, has been praised for his calculated gameplay. Known for his composure and competitive nature , Jason Jae combined task performance with a calculated approach to alliances and leadership.

Kaybobo (Kayode Oladele) pulled one of the boldest moves in BBNaija history when he answered Biggie’s red phone and spent ₦10 million of the total prize pool to buy his way into the finale. The daring gamble surprised viewers earning him both admiration and scepticism.

Kola (Kolapo Omotosho) has maintained a calm, steady presence, surviving multiple nominations through quiet resilience rather than drama. His fans see him as the season’s “silent survivor.”

Mensan, the measured strategist and two-time “Most Influential Player,” has relied on intellect and composure rather than theatrics. He is seen as one on the most lucky housemates this season. His reserved style appeals to those who prefer subtlety over spectacle.

Isabella (Esther Georgewill), the elegant Rivers-born single mother, has walked a fine line between charm and seduction. Her emotional depth and honesty have won her a loyal following among viewers who value authenticity.

Twists, Tensions, and Talking Points

Season 10 has been as unpredictable as it has been entertaining. The disqualification of Faith for physical violence against Sultana sent shockwaves through the house, while Kaybobo’s immunity gamble redefined the game’s strategic possibilities.

The season also witnessed alliances forming and breaking, heartwarming friendships, explosive arguments, and emotional vulnerability that reminded viewers why Big Brother Naija remains the continent’s biggest reality show.

According to The Nation, the finale has been billed as “a night of destiny,” with fans flooding social media to campaign for their favourites. Premium Times reported that Imisi, Dede, and Koyin are leading fan polls, though insiders believe any of the top five could clinch the title.

Vanguard also quoted evicted housemates tipping Imisi as the likely winner, describing her as “the heart of the house” whose genuineness resonates across demographics.

The Grand Question

As the countdown to the live show begins, speculation runs wild: Who will be crowned the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 10?

Imisi’s authenticity, Dede’s boldness, Jason Jae’s competitiveness, and Kaybobo’s daring move each offer compelling narratives. But history has shown that in Big Brother’s world, it is not always the loudest or smartest that wins, it is the one who connects most deeply with the audience.

The Moment Awaits

Tonight, host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu will take the stage one last time to announce the winner, bringing the 72-day spectacle to a dramatic close. For one lucky housemate, life will change forever. From obscurity to stardom, from contestant to champion.

And as millions across Africa tune in for the final announcement, one truth remains: in Big Brother’s world, the crown belongs not just to the best player, but to the one who captured the most hearts.

For the one whose name rings out, life changes forever. For the others, the world outside awaits. Richer in fame, lessons, and possibility.
