Twenty-two-year-old Ilebaye Odinaya has emerged as the winner of the 2023 edition of the Big Brother Naija reality TV show, which officially ended on Sunday after 10 weeks of live entertainment.
Ilebaye got over 30.08 percent of the votes cast by viewers to beat fellow housemate Mercy Eke, the winner of the 2019 edition, who got about 23.48 percent of the votes.
Both contestants were among the six finalists, including CeeC, Adekunle, Pere, and Cross, that made it to the grand finale of the show, out of a total of 20 housemates and four houseguests, who were introduced to the BBN house midway into the show.
Viewers of the show have taken to social to share their reactions; check out some below.

Y’all clowning Ilebaye for using sympathy to win Big Brother Naija All Star need to understand that Big Brother is a game, every housemate went to the house with a plan, some toxicity, some body, some kitchen while some sympathy and apparently SYMPATHY happened to emerge winner…

I'm glad every housemate who looked down on Ilebaye left before her. Hopefully, they learn a thing or two about treating people.
