Mother of BBNaija Winner Imisi Addresses Past Abandonment Rumors

Imisi

BBNaija Season 10 winner Imisi Ayanwale’s mother has broken her silence after being accused of deserting her daughter only to reappear following her reality TV success.

Online rumors suggested she had walked away from Imisi and returned after her rise to fame, sparking widespread backlash.

In a heartfelt video, she expressed gratitude for the support from Nigerians, revealing she had been living modestly with her sister in Ajah, where compassionate individuals provided her with shelter and necessities.

She described her life during this period as one of quiet contentment, despite facing harsh criticism.

Addressing claims of abandonment, she explained that her silence was a deliberate choice, guided by wisdom rather than admission of wrongdoing.

She disclosed that she received last-minute notice—just hours before Imisi’s victory—that her daughter would be leaving the Big Brother house.

She urged people to embrace kindness over bitterness, emphasizing the need for compassion amid online negativity.

Her message: “God’s mercy has sustained me. My deepest thanks to all who stood by me during difficult times. Living in Ajah with my sister, I found unexpected kindness from strangers who clothed and fed me, granting me peace amid false claims.

“Some accused me of neglecting my child, but I chose patience over reaction. Ancient wisdom reminds us: be quick to listen, slow to speak. Truth always prevails.

“Those who made empty promises vanished, while I remained steadfast in supporting my daughter’s journey. Even on her final day in Big Brother, I was rushed to prepare—was this fair?

“Let’s cultivate love instead of tearing each other down. Why must envy and malice overshadow kindness?”
