Imisi, the winner of the just-concluded Big Brother Naija reality show, has shared her heartfelt thoughts about her experience and victory, describing it as surreal.
She revealed that the only time she felt certain about winning was just hours before the live finale when fellow housemate Kola told her, “Imisi, you are winning this.”
Though initially skeptical, she couldn’t shake the feeling afterward.
When she first entered the Big Brother house, Imisi said she planned to win, but her sisters encouraged her to focus on gaining visibility for her acting career.
She further explained that her love for makeup and hair styling inside the house wasn’t an act, but something she genuinely enjoyed, sometimes just to express herself when there wasn’t much else to do.
Despite her eventual success, Imisi admitted she initially struggled with confidence.
“It still feels like a dream to me. I couldn’t sleep last night. I’m still living in another world entirely. I still can’t picture the whole thing yet. The Imisi you guys saw on social media was me, but I was that way because the person I was dating at that time, that’s what he likes, he likes when I am on makeup, frontal, so I was doing that because he was my only safe space, the only person I had at that time. When we broke up, I didn’t have enough time to completely heal from the breakup, because we broke up in April and I auditioned in April/May. The makeup and hair in the house wasn’t an act; it’s just something I enjoy doing because there was nothing I was actually doing in the house. At times, I just wanted to look crazy. At the start of the show, I wasn’t confident, and I spoke about it during my first diary section because a lot of people came from a good family background, their fashion sense, and the way they spoke. The first week was too much. I was intimidated.” She said
