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.
