Ilebaye, the winner of BBNaija All Stars, recently denied accusations that she used the victim card to win, firmly crediting her success to prayer in an interview with Punch Saturday Beats.
Ilebaye, who won the top prize of 120 million Naira, admitted that she never thought she’d be in the BBNaija house for more than three weeks.
“I did not use any strategy (to win the game). The only strategy I used was to pray to God. I never imagined that I would win the competition.
“During my first participation on the show (in 2022), I spent only three weeks. When I realized that they were bringing stars for this season, I thought I would last for a maximum of three weeks. I did not know I would be the winner,” Ilebaye said.
Addressing her regrets, Ilebaye expressed that she wished she had danced more enthusiastically during the weekly Saturday parties.
