Finally, she was asked about Nigeria's Nobel Laureate, whom she also admitted not knowing.

In Doyin's words:

"Again, I do not know. I am in entertainment. Ask me about entertainment."

However, after receiving a tip from the host regarding Wole Soyinka's appearance, she guessed accurately.

Soyinka is a renowned Nigerian playwright and novelist. His popular works include 'The Trials of Brother Jero', 'Aké: The Years of Childhood Wole Soyinka', 'The Man Died: The Prison Notes of Wole Soyinka', and 'You Must Set Forth at Dawn'. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986.

Doyin rose to prominence in 2022 during her appearance on the BBNaija' Level Up' edition.

In the 2023 All-Stars season, which Ilebaye Odiniya won, the reality TV personality made a notable return as a contender.
