The mother of Imisi Ayanwale, the BBNaija season 10 winner,
has stirred speculation of a deepening family rift in a social media video.
In a recent TikTok post, she expressed gratitude to the
friends, community in Ebute-Metta, Lagos, and her church who supported Imisi
during her time on the reality show.
She also addressed personal grievances that have surfaced
since her daughter’s victory and accusations that she neglected Imisi before
the show, vehemently denying the claims.
“I want to sincerely appreciate all those who stood by me
during Imisi’s time on Big Brother. My friends, everyone in Ebute-Metta, the
church, I am so grateful. I am at my younger ones place in Ajah, some people do
not want us to come and visit them,” she said.
“I’m in my sister’s house , Imisi don’t want me to visit her , I was running everywhere so Imisi can win and remove me from poverty , but some people say I’m not a good mother”

“…people that said I did not take care of my child, thank
you all for what you said. I was running around to ensure that my daughter
wins, that she should become someone in life, so that she can take me her
mother out of poverty.
“…she said she does not want to see me wherever she is, is
it that serious? There is still a lot to talk about.”
Adding to her grievances, she claimed she was sidelined
during the finale of the show.
“On the day of the BBNaija finale, I was not even told that
it was the final. It was around few minutes to 4pm that they called me to start
dressing up, that I should wear something presentable. I was even taken
somewhere else initially,” she said.
During her time on the show, Imisi spoke about her strained
relationship with her parents, revealing that they sent her out of the house
when she was 12, a traumatic event that led to her being raped in a church
storeroom where she had sought shelter.
