Ilebaye Wins BBNaija All Stars Crown, Bags N120 Million, SUV, and More

Ilebaye Odiniya, a name now synonymous with victory, emerged as the triumphant winner of BBNaija All Stars, marking the eighth season of the renowned reality television series. 

The final showdown on Sunday night culminated in her claiming the highly coveted top spot, leaving behind the shadow of the 2019 winner, Mercy Eke, 33, who gracefully took the number two position.

The Gen-Z Baddie was declared the winner after scoring 30.08% of the final votes ahead of Mercy Eke with 23.48% of the total votes cast.

Ilebaye’s Grand Triumph

Ilebaye’s victory wasn’t just a moment of personal achievement but a journey that would redefine her life forever.

With her newfound title, she goes home not just as a champion but also laden with incredible rewards. 

Amongst her accolades, Ilebaye receives a staggering N120 million cash prize, a luxurious weekend getaway for two, and a brand-new SUV. 

From Eviction to Redemption

Ilebaye’s remarkable ascent to the top was not without its setbacks. The 22-year-old had initially entered the BBNaija realm during the 2022 Level Up season but faced an unexpected eviction after only three weeks. 

However, rather than succumbing to the weight of her early exit, Ilebaye demonstrated unwavering determination and resilience, paving the way for her triumphant return in the All-Stars edition.

Top Three Triumph

Ilebaye’s victory wasn’t just about besting one formidable competitor; it was a testament to her ability to outshine a pool of incredibly talented individuals. 

CeeC, the runner-up of the third season, Double Wahala, in 2018, gracefully secured the third position behind Ilebaye and Mercy Eke. 

Adekunle Olopade, aged 28, emerged as the third runner-up, marking his remarkable journey on the show.

The All Stars’ Grand Finale

Hosted by the charismatic Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the All Stars edition showcased intense competition, unwavering resolve, and, ultimately, Ilebaye’s extraordinary victory. 

Pere Egbi, aged 38, and Cross Okonkwo, aged 33, demonstrated their mettle and dedication throughout the season, earning them the titles of the fourth and fifth runners-up, respectively.

A Vision for the Future

As Ilebaye embarks on this new chapter of her life as the reigning BBNaija All Stars champion, the question arises: what does she intend to do with the colossal N120 million prize? 

While precise plans may not yet be public, it’s not uncommon for BBNaija winners to utilize their winnings to further their careers, invest in entrepreneurial ventures, support charitable causes, and secure their financial future.
