The recently concluded Big Brother Naija All-Star Season has declared its winner, with Ilebaye and Ike Onyema taking the spotlight.
In this All-Stars season, contestants from the first season to the current one competed for the coveted 120 million Naira grand prize. It brought together housemates of all ages, initially leading fans to believe that Mercy Eke, with her strong fanbase and previous win, would clinch victory.
However, the outcome surprised many, as Ilebaye Odiniya, once considered an underdog, emerged as the winner of the 8th season of Big Brother Naija. Ike Onyema claims credit for her success, having vowed to prevent Mercy from winning again. Ike and Mercy had a previous relationship stemming from the Big Brother Pepper Dem season and even starred in their own show, “Mercy and Ike.”
During the competition, Ike took actions to make Ilebaye stand out, including tossing her belongings on the floor. He and Pere even devised plans to set her up for a strike, which ultimately failed, leading to Ike’s eviction the following week. Ike also expressed feeling manipulated by Mercy during their past season and relationship, stating, “I was very generous with her during our season, but she took me for a fool. I won’t make the same mistake again this time.”
They say I’m a 2-time queen maker but I’d say I’m the orchestrator of God’s plan. Feel free to “Thank me”.#Bbnaija #BBNaijaAllStars #IkeOnyema pic.twitter.com/cVQovGp66P
