Oba Abimbola Akeem Owoade, the Alaafin of Oyo, has congratulated Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) season 10 winner Imisioluwa, aka Imisi, whose real name is Opeyemi Ayanwale, on her achievement.

Legit.ng recalls reporting that Imisi made her mark in Nigerian entertainment history on Sunday, October 5, after she was crowned the winner of season 10.

Imisi's victory was announced during the live finale by media personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, beating Dede and Koyin to the crown.

The Yoruba monarch joined fans in and outside Nigeria to celebrate Imisi's win.

Oba Owoade posted a picture of the reality star on his Instagram story, congratulating her.

The Alaafin of Oyo's Instagram post celebrating Imisi's victory has drawn varied reactions from Nigerians.

The reality star is an indigene of Oyo state, a background she proudly showcased throughout her stay in the BBNaija house.

From using Yoruba expressions to rocking the traditional attire, Imisi promoted her culture to the end.

While some netizens applauded the Yoruba monarch, others, however, read meaning into the message. Legit.ng captured some of the reactions, read them below:
