Ilebaye

Ilebaye Odiniya has proven to be a strategic player this season, despite facing challenges in forming relationships within the house.

While some have accused her of playing a ‘pity game’, many supporters outside the house are rooting for her to win.

A former contestant on the 2019 edition of the show, Natacha Akide, aka Tacha, has been drumming up support for Ilebaye. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), she wrote, “At this point, I just hope Ilebaye wins.”

Other ex-housemate, such as Whitemoney, Uriel, Omashola and Chizzy, have all described her as a worthy contender for the grand prize.

Ilebaye has also shown intelligence by once winning the Head of House games, and earning N1m in the HFM task. Although she has just 509k followers on Instagram, her loyal fan base seems dedicated and passionate about supporting her with votes to win the game.
