In a heartwarming gesture of faith and gratitude, Ilebaye, the victorious 22-year-old Kogi-born model who emerged as the winner of the highly-anticipated Big Brother Naija All-Stars season, has pledged to donate N12 million as tithe to her church from her staggering N120 million prize money.
Ilebaye’s triumph in the BBNaija All-Stars season, which concluded on October 1, 2023, left her standing above five other finalists, securing her a spot in the annals of Nigerian reality TV history.
During the prize presentation ceremony, she received a life-changing cheque for N120 million and a sleek brand-new car, marking the pinnacle of her journey through the iconic reality show.
However, during an interactive session with fans over the weekend, she made it clear that her newfound wealth wouldn’t be spent on extravagant indulgences.
“Once the N120 million gets to my account, I won’t buy anything; I will give my tithe to God to thank Him for the grace He gave me,” Ilebaye declared.
