Former Big Brother Naija All-Stars housemate, Doyinsola David aka Doyin, has analysed why her friend and colleague, Ilebaye won the N120 million grand prize of the reality show.
Recall that the Kogi-born model beat five other finalists to the prize on Sunday night.
Speaking in an interview with Sabi Radio on Monday, Doyin reckoned that Ilebaye won because of “Nigerians’ underdog mentality.”
According to this viewpoint, Nigerians frequently stand by and support people who they believe to are marginalised or persecuted by a group.
The host, Miracle OP said;
“We’ve seen different types of strategies in reality shows. And I don’t know why people still do this where they isolate somebody. Once you isolate somebody, especially so early in the game, human beings, especially Nigerians have the mentality that if a group of people are oppressing one person, that one person is our hero. It’s the underdog mentality.”
Doyin concorded,
“True. I think her (Ilebaye’s) storyline was meant to play out the way it played out.”
She said she felt betrayed by Ilebaye when she went behind her back and made up with Venita after their altercation in the House.
