Big Brother Naija Season 10 has been a whirlwind from the moment the doors of the house opened. Titled “10/10” to mark the milestone edition, it has delivered everything fans hoped for. Romance, rivalries, heated arguments, laughter, tears and unexpected evictions have kept audiences glued week after week. Now the season has reached its climax and Nigerians are asking the golden question. Who will walk away with the crown and the grand prize?
Ten finalists remain standing. Dede, Imisi, Sultana, Jeson Jae, Faith, Isabella, Koyin, Kola, Measan and Kaybobo have all fought their way to this point. Each has a story, each has a fan base, but only one will be crowned the winner of Big Brother Naija Season 10. Let us take a closer look at the frontrunners and how the final could play out.
Imisi and the power of consistency
If one name has dominated predictions, it is Imisi. From the start of the season, she positioned herself as a strong player without being overbearing. She has entertained, shown vulnerability when needed and avoided the kind of scandals that usually derail housemates. Although she has fought with multiple housemates, her comic and likeable personality has helped her pull through. Her strength lies in her ability to connect with viewers on a personal level.
Online, her fan base is one of the loudest and most organised. On X, Instagram and TikTok, her supporters push hashtags and rally votes every week. She trends almost every eviction night and this level of consistency is why many believe she is the favourite to win it all. If she maintains momentum, Imisi could etch her name into BBNaija history as the tenth-season champion.
Kola’s big game energy
If anyone can disrupt Imisi’s chances, it is Kola. His time in the house has been marked by bold moves, sharp opinions and a strong presence that is impossible to ignore. Some viewers see him as controversial, but in the Big Brother universe, controversy often translates into popularity. Kola’s fan base is passionate and determined, and he has the kind of charisma that draws both love and criticism.
Past seasons have shown that housemates with polarising personalities often go far because people either vote to keep them or watch them closely. If Kola’s base rallies strongly in the final week, he could shock many and clinch the prize.
Faith’s steady rise
Faith may not have been the loudest or flashiest housemate, but his journey has been remarkable. He has transformed from an underestimated contestant into a serious contender. His pride, calmness, maturity and ability to avoid unnecessary drama have made him stand out in a season filled with strong personalities.
Fans describe Faith as relatable and grounded, which explains his growing popularity. While it seems fellow housemates might not really like him, supporters see him as a role model, someone who represents grace under pressure. Faith’s story could resonate deeply enough to carry him into the top three or even to the ultimate crown.
Koyin and the underdog factor
Koyin embodies the classic underdog story that Nigerians love. He may not have dominated every conversation, but his life-of-the party, wit and down-to-earth personality have won him loyal fans. He has quietly stayed in the game without relying on theatrics, which makes him a refreshing presence in the house.
In Big Brother history, underdogs have occasionally surged late in the competition. Their fans often vote with extra determination because they want to prove the doubters wrong. Koyin’s relatability could give him that extra push, especially if the bigger names split the vote.
Dede the quiet threat
Dede has managed something impressive. She has stayed relevant without being messy. She plays a calm game that still resonates with audiences who appreciate authenticity. While others chase drama, Dede focuses on building genuine connections and showing emotional depth.
Her supporters argue that she represents the best of Big Brother Naija. She is entertaining without being fake, strong without being domineering. As the finale approaches, she cannot be ignored. Dede has the kind of balanced fan base that can surprise everyone at the last moment.
What about the rest
Sultana, Jeson Jae, Isabella, Measan and Kaybobo have made it to the final ten, which is an achievement in itself. They all have supporters and could still play spoiler roles in the finale. However, their momentum has not matched the frontrunners. Unless there is a dramatic shift, it looks like the real battle is between Imisi, Kola, Faith, Koyin and Dede.
So who wins it all
As it stands, Imisi has the brightest odds. She is consistent, loved by fans and has avoided the pitfalls that sink many housemates. Faith is her strongest competition, bringing the energy and charisma that could still tip the scales. Kola has grown into a serious challenger, while Koyin and Dede remain dark horses who could shock everyone if their voters show up in large numbers.
The beauty of Big Brother Naija is its unpredictability. The winner is not crowned until the last vote is counted. But if the season so far is anything to go by, viewers are in for a dramatic finale. Whether it is Imisi fulfilling her role as favourite or an underdog rising at the last minute, one thing is sure. Big Brother Naija Season 10 will end with a champion who has earned their place in the spotlight.
