BBNaija Winner Imisi’s Mother Breaks Silence Amid Abandonment Claims

The mother of BBNaija Season 10 winner Imisi Ayanwale has spoken out against allegations that she abandoned her daughter and only reappeared following her rise to fame and fortune. According to reports, speculation over her absence gained traction online after rumours suggested she had left Imisi behind and returned only after her success.

In a widely circulated video message, she expressed gratitude to God and Nigerians for their support during difficult periods. She said she has been living quietly with her younger sister in Ajah, receiving help and hospitality from those who provided her with food and clothing, and described her time as peaceful despite public criticism.

Addressing accusations of neglect, she clarified that her silence was deliberate and guided by prudence rather than guilt. She recounted being informed of her daughter’s Big Brother win only hours before it happened, leaving her little time to prepare for the announcement.

She appealed to the public to treat one another with kindness and understanding instead of spreading negativity. “I’ve received mercy from God. Thank you to all Nigerians; I’m truly grateful. Even though some did not want me around, others welcomed me, clothed me, and fed me. I have been happy and at peace,” she said.

She further emphasized the importance of discernment and patience, noting that while some promised assistance, she was the one who worked tirelessly to ensure her daughter’s success. She urged people to embrace love over envy and hate, concluding, “Let’s learn to bridle our tongues and stop tearing each other down. Why can’t we just live in love instead of envy and hate?”
