Popular political commentator Deji Adeyanju has thrown a fresh question into Nigeria’s social media space, and this time, it’s about Big Brother Naija’s biggest winners.
Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) page, Adeyanju wondered why most of the winners of the show “end up looking broke,” despite walking away with mouthwatering cash prizes.
The activist, known for his blunt and often controversial takes, didn’t mince words.

He wrote:
“Do they really give BBNaija winners the prize money? The reason I’m asking is because many of them end up looking extremely broke thereafter.”
His comment came shortly after Imisi, the Season 10 winner of the popular reality show, was crowned champion with a ₦120 million grand prize.
Imisi opens up on N150m prize money
Meanwhile, Imisi admitted she does not yet know exactly how she wants to use the money.
In her final diary session before the live finale, Imisi opened up about her thoughts on the life-changing win.
She confessed, “Honestly, right now I don’t have a set plan for the money. I need to seek financial advice first because I’ve never had such a large amount before."
Interestingly, Big Brother also asked Imisi who she would like to see win if it wasn’t her. Without hesitation, she listed fellow finalists Dede, Jason Jae, Kola, Kaybobo, and Isabella, highlighting their unique strengths and the bond they had built over the weeks.
