BBNaija: ‘Ilebaye Won Because of Nigerians’ Underdog Mentality’ – Doyin David

Former Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Doyinsola David, simply known as Doyin, has revealed why her friend, Ilebaye Odiniya won the N120 million grand prize of the reality show.

Ngnews247 reported that Ilebaye, a 22-year-old Kogi-born model beat five other finalists to the prize on Sunday night.

Speaking in an interview with Sabi Radio on Monday, Doyin reckoned that Ilebaye won because of “Nigerians’ underdog mentality.”

The host, Miracle OP said: “We’ve seen different types of strategies [in reality shows]. And I don’t know why people still do this where they isolate somebody. Once you isolate somebody, especially so early in the game, human beings, especially Nigerians have the mentality that if a group of people are oppressing one person, that one person is our hero. It’s the underdog mentality.”

Doyin concorded: “True. I think her [Ilebaye’s] storyline was meant to play out the way it played out.”

She, however, said she felt betrayed by Ilebaye when she went behind her back and made up with Venita after their altercation in the House.
