“Imisi is just my sister, and someone I care about in a platonic way. I’m happy that someone I care about the most in the house won. Her win is my win,” he said.

he added.

Kola, who described himself as “true to myself,” noted that while he initially desired to win, he was content seeing someone close to him clinch the N150 million grand prize.

“I always thought I wanted to win, but at the end of the day, I was open to my sister, Imisi. She rooted for me. I’m grateful I have a sister,”
he said.

The reality star also spoke about his biggest personal challenge during the show, revealing, “My challenge is not talking to my parents.”

Meanwhile, the winner, Imisi, also described Kola in glowing terms, confirming that their connection was purely brother-sister.

BBNaija: Many Reality Stars Suffer After Show – Ex-Housemate Adekunle Says

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Adekunle Olapade, has voiced concern over the growing trend of ex-housemates becoming financially stranded after leaving the reality show.

He pointed out that despite Big Brother Naija being the biggest reality TV show in Africa, “there’s almost no success path after the show.”

This, he noted, has led to many former Big Brother Naija participants struggling financially.

Adekunle claimed that the ugly trend was due to Nigeria’s lack of a reality TV culture.

On his handle, he wrote, “Let me double down and say that BBN is the biggest reality tv show in Africa, but somehow, Nigeria does not have a Reality TV culture – there’s almost no certain success path after the show and most of the reality stars suffer for this.”

His post elicited mixed reactions.

Responding to a fan who opined that reality stars are supposed to return to their primary jobs at the end of the show, Adekunle explained that some participants are jobless and hoped to find new fortune on the show.

“A lot of the cast didn’t have 9-5s to begin with – which is why they tried to change their story by going on the show. Only a few had jobs/businesses before they went on the show. But yes, going back if things didn’t work out doesn’t sound like a bad idea,” he wrote.

Recall that activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju recently raised a similar concern, questioning if the winners of Big Brother Naija reality show are actually handed the prizes.

He claimed that a lot of the winners became poorer after the show.

I Broke Up With My Boyfriend Weeks Before BBNaija Audition – Imisi Reveals

“But we broke up on April 4, before I went for the audition in May. It was really a hectic breakup, and I didn’t have the time to heal before the show.”
