The Alaafin of Oyo's Reaction to Imisi's BBNaija Win Sparks Debate!
In a surprising turn of events, the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Owoade, has sent social media into a whirlwind with his response to Imisioluwa's triumph in the BBNaija season 10 finale. But here's where it gets intriguing...
The top Yoruba monarch took to his official social media platforms to share a heartfelt message and a picture of the reality star, Opeyemi Ayanwale, who now holds the title of BBNaija season 10 champion. This gesture has ignited a fiery debate among netizens, with opinions divided.
Legit.ng recalls that Imisi made history on October 5th, becoming the first female winner of the N150 million grand prize. Her victory was announced by the renowned Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, leaving Dede and Koyin in second and third place, respectively.
Alaafin's Celebration and the Mixed Reactions
Oba Owoade joined the global celebration of Imisi's win, posting a congratulatory message on Instagram. However, this simple act has sparked a range of emotions and interpretations. While some Nigerians praised the monarch's support, others delved deeper, questioning the motives behind the post.
Imisi's Oyo State Connection
Imisi, an indigene of Oyo state, proudly represented her culture throughout her time in the BBNaija house. From her fluent use of Yoruba expressions to donning traditional attire, she became an ambassador for her heritage. This connection to Oyo state seems to have played a role in the Alaafin's decision to celebrate her win.

The Hallelujah Challenge Takes Over
