Big Brother Naija season 9 runner-up, Wanni, has expressed why she feels like a winner, despite not clinching the grand prize. Wanni, who entered the show alongside her twin sister, Handi, shared her sense of accomplishment in an interview with Pulse, revealing that she went into the BBNaija house with clear intentions and ultimately achieved her goals.
The twin duo entered the competition as a pair, but their journey together was cut short when the show’s pairing system was dissolved, leading to Handi’s early eviction. Despite this, Wanni continued solo to the finale, where she secured the runner-up position, while Kellyrae emerged as the season’s winner.
Reflecting on her journey, Wanni stated, “For me, I feel like I won the show because I achieved everything I went there for. I came to the show for three things: brand promotion, growth, and friendship.” She emphasized that the BBNaija platform allowed her to elevate her personal brand, gain valuable life experiences, and establish meaningful friendships.
Wanni’s approach to the reality show underscored a unique perspective, as she embraced BBNaija as more than just a competition. “Winning isn’t always about the prize,” she explained, “It’s about growth, impact, and building connections that last beyond the show.” For her, reaching the finale represented a personal victory, fulfilling the vision she held for herself and her brand.
Since leaving the BBNaija house, Wanni’s popularity has soared, and her social media presence has grown substantially, reflecting her success in leveraging the platform. Fans and followers have praised her maturity and positivity, with many calling her a “people’s champion” for her relatable, grounded approach.
With Wanni now focused on future projects, her journey on BBNaija season 9 stands as an inspiring narrative for those who view success as a multi-dimensional experience, beyond just the final prize.
