#BBNaija 10: “I’m 44 and a single mum” – Ivatar makes bold entry

 

One of the newly unveiled housemates of Big Brother Naija Season 10, Ivatar, has sparked reactions after revealing that she is 44 years old, making her the oldest contestant so far this season.

Ivatar made the bold revelation during her introduction to the live audience on Saturday night, telling the show’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, that she’s 44 and a proud single mother.

Her entry into the house comes after seven attempts at auditioning for the show, a testament to her persistence and passion for the platform.

“I’m 44 years old,” Ivatar declared during her on-stage interview, drawing cheers and gasps from the audience.

Reactions to her age have been mixed across social media. While some fans hailed her for breaking age stereotypes and proving that dreams can be pursued at any age, others questioned whether the BBNaija house is the right space for someone her age.

Some critics even described her as “too old” for the fast-paced, youth-dominated environment the show is known for.

Supporters, however, have applauded her courage and resilience, saying her presence brings a refreshing perspective to the show.

Meanwhile, the male housemates are yet to be introduced. According to show organisers, they will be unveiled during the second part of the premiere, scheduled for Sunday night.

BBNaija Season 10, tagged “10/10,” promises an eclectic mix of personalities and surprises, and Ivatar is already proving to be one of the most talked-about contestants in this year’s lineup.
