BBN: All-Stars Winner, Ilebaye Speaks On Keeping Up With “Celebrity Status”; Expresses Gratitude To Fans At Moniepoint Event

Remaining appreciative of her supporters, the BBN All-Stars champion takes any opportunity to thank them or share some of her life’s stories with them. Remember that to win the N120 million grand prize, the reality TV star battled Mercy Eke, a formidable competitor, on the All-Star edition, and it wasn’t easy for her as she was one of the most talked-about personalities of the season.

Digital financial services business Moniepoint Inc. recently sponsored a “meet and greet” event in Lagos to honour the BBNaija “All-Stars” housemates. At the event, Ilebaye remarked that life has been challenging online and offline. Ilebaye Odiniya, the winner of the inaugural season of Big Brother Naija, “All-Stars,” also shared her experiences adjusting to life as the youngest multimillionaire. The Kogi State native says that she is trying to become a better version of herself and that everything she has received from her admirers is love and light.

A group of All-Stars Housemates who made the trip included Ilebaye, Pere Egbi, Adekunle Olopade, Cynthia “Cee-C” Nwadiora, Ikechukwu “Cross” Okonkwo, Chukwuemeka “Frodd” Okoye, Season Six winner Hazel “Whitemoney” Oyeze, Seyi Awolowo, Doyinsola David, Ike Onyema, Somadina Anyama, and Prince Nelson. After leaving the show, the ex-housemates turned up for Moniepoint. Also, they shared their experiences of using Moniepoint’s services on their personal and business banking platforms during the meet and greet.

While speaking on her newfound fame, Ilebaye said,

 “It’s been stressful on social media and everywhere, especially the media rounds. I haven’t seen hate. If you drag me, my fans will drag you back. I am trying to get adjusted to this new me, and I am working on creating a better version of myself.”

Also, it was reported that the star penned an emotional “thank you” to her fans, and netizens have continued to celebrate the newly found superstar.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who stood by my side, especially during those times when I stumbled and showed my imperfections. Your support, your votes, and your belief in me mean more to me than words can convey.

Tobi Amira, the company’s Senior Vice President for Business Loans and Salary Advance, also gave a brief presentation on Moniepoint to the housemates and audience members. He mentioned,

“As one of Africa’s largest fintechs, we saw mutual synergies which spurred us to sponsor this season of Big Brother Nigeria, which is, without doubt, one of the biggest reality and entertainment intellectual property in Africa. We are excited at what the future holds as we double down on powering dreams for businesses and individuals.”
