Ilebaye Odiniya, the winner of Big Brother Naija All Stars, recently discussed the significance of the cowrie shells she brought into the Biggie’s House during the show.
During an appearance on Pulse’s “One On One,” hosted by fellow reality star Christy O, Ilebaye shared the reason behind her interactions with the cowrie shells.
Christy O inquired, “There is a claim online that you had cowries that you were talking to. Can you tell me more about it?”
Ilebaye responded, saying, “I had something precious to me. Because obviously, you are supposed to have something precious when you’re doing something that you miss at home. The cowries were for my late brother. They have been with me along with the baton. I didn’t know where to keep it. I was just like, ‘Oh, let me hold something strong.’ It just helps me feel like he, my late brother, is around. He is still with me.”
