Big Brother Naija All Stars winner, Ilebaye Odiniya, has credited the reality show with changing the course of her life and career.
The actress and TV personality shared the reflection in a post on X Wednesday evening, describing how the platform shaped her into who she is today.
Ilebaye first appeared on BBNaija Level Up in 2022 but was evicted in the third week. She returned for the following season in 2023, where she emerged as the winner and claimed the grand prize.
According to the self-styled “Gen-Z Baddie,” the experience was more than just about winning — it reshaped her as a person.
“Two years ago, Big Brother changed everything. Not just the title, but me. I’ve grown, I’ve learned, I’ve become. The story isn’t over, only unfolding. Walked in as Ilebaye, came out as a star. It can only be God,” she wrote.
She expressed gratitude to her fans, popularly known as the BayeTribe, as well as her family for their consistent support. “You are my day ones, my strength, my family. Forever grateful,” she added.
Ilebaye’s reflection comes as BBNaija continues to be a launchpad for young Nigerians seeking fame, visibility, and career opportunities in entertainment.
