The mother of Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner, Imisi Ayanwale, has responded to allegations that she abandoned her daughter. Critics claimed she only resurfaced after Imisi achieved fame and wealth from the reality show.
In a widely shared video message, she expressed gratitude to God and Nigerians for their support during difficult times. She revealed she has been living quietly with her younger sister in Ajah. Despite facing criticism, she found peace through the kindness of others who provided food and clothing.
Addressing Neglect Allegations
The mother explained her silence was intentional, not an admission of guilt. She described it as a prudent decision during challenging circumstances. Regarding Imisi’s BBNaija victory, she disclosed receiving just hours’ notice before the finale. This left minimal preparation time for the life-changing event.
Mother’s Emotional Appeal
I’ve received mercy from God. Thank you to all Nigerians – I’m truly grateful. I stay with my younger sister in Ajah. Some rejected me, but others welcomed and cared for me. I’ve found happiness and peace despite everything.
Accusations about neglecting my children hurt deeply. I appreciate both well-wishers and critics. Wisdom teaches us to listen carefully and respond thoughtfully. Truth always prevails.
Promises from others remain unfulfilled, yet I bear the blame. I worked tirelessly for my daughter’s success. When summoned to Big Brother, I received only last-minute notice at 4 PM. Is that proper planning?
Let’s control our words and stop destroying each other. Why not embrace love instead of envy and hatred?
She concluded with a heartfelt appeal for public compassion. The mother urged Nigerians to replace negativity with understanding and kindness in their interactions.
