Kachi Ucheagwu, a former contestant on the Ultimate Love reality TV show, has expressed his skepticism about Ilebaye Odiniya’s victory in the BBNaija All Stars edition. Ilebaye, a 22-year-old housemate, claimed the grand prize of N120 million after nearly 10 weeks in the Big Brother Naija house.
In a reflection on the win, Kachi shared his views on the micro-blogging platform X, describing it as an undeserving victory driven by sympathy rather than merit. He went on to suggest that the state of Nigeria’s stunted growth on its Independence Day may be a reflection of the prevalence of sympathy over meritocracy.
Kachi wrote, “As Nigeria celebrates her Independence, The winner of #BBNaijaAllStar may be a true reflection of the current state of Nigeria where Pity and Sympathy prevail against meritocracy. Is she deserving of it, only time will tell,” he wrote.
