Phyna has been declared the winner of this year’s edition of Big Brother Nigeria (BBNaija) tagged: Level Up, last night in Lagos, Nigeria.
She polled the highest votes at the grand finale, beating Bryann to the second place.
Addressing the housemates shortly before they exited the house, Big Brother (Biggie) said: “The world now awaits you. You may now leave the Big Brother house.”
In a brief interview with the show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, the 25-year-old winner said: “I am grateful for the opportunity to be in the house and the experience has been more than awesome. I just want to thank Big Brother and my fans.
“Nigeria should get ready for me. They don’t even have an idea of what I am coming with.”
The highly elated Phyna was one of the six finalists standing after spending 70 days (10 weeks) in the house.
She got into the house as a member of Level Two.
During the show, she was romantically involved with a fellow housemate, Groovy, who was evicted in Week Nine.
Ebuka had earlier announced the eviction of Rachel, Chizzy, Daniella, Chi Chi, and Bella from the Big Brother House.
The last housemates in Week 10 were: Bella, Daniella, Bryann, Phyna, Chi Chi, Adekunle, Bella, and the two riders, Chizzy and Rachel.
Chizzy was the first of the finalists to be evicted while Rachel followed.
Minutes after, Daniella, Chi Chi, Adekunle, and Bella were also evicted.
Phyna and Bryann, the last two housemates standing, walked out of the house onto the stage before Phyna was announced the winner.
According to the organisers, Phyna’s rewards include the N50 million cash prize, a top-of-the-range sport utility vehicle (SUV) from Nigerian automaker, Innoson Motors, a trip to Dubai for two packaged by TravelBeta, and a year’s supply of Pepsi, among other prizes totaling another N50 million.
