BBNaija Season 10 kicked off with a bang, and one housemate has already stolen the spotlight. Ivatar left viewers stunned on premiere night when she boldly announced her age — and it’s not what anyone expected.

“I’m 44 years old,” she told host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, drawing gasps from the live audience and triggering a frenzy across social media.

With that single statement, Ivatar became the oldest contestant to enter the house this season — and likely the most talked about. But her story didn’t stop there.

She revealed this wasn’t her first rodeo — far from it. Ivatar had auditioned for Big Brother Naija seven times before finally making it through the famous doors. And just when fans thought they’d heard it all, she dropped another bombshell: she’s a single mother.

While the male housemates are still waiting to be revealed on Sunday night, Ivatar’s fiery entrance has already stirred the pot. Reactions online were swift and divided. Some praised her resilience and courage. Others didn’t hold back, saying she’s “too old” for the show.

But if Ivatar’s entrance is anything to go by, she didn’t come to blend in. She came to shake the table.
