Big Brother Naija Season 10 winner Imisi (Opeyemi Ayanwale) has sparked social media buzz with a sweet gesture: she named her three dogs after her closest friends from the show—Kola, Isabella, and Kaybobo.
The 23-year-old fashion designer and actress, who clinched the crown in a dramatic finale last October after 10 weeks of intense competition among 29 housemates, opened up during a candid appearance on the popular “Drink or Spill” podcast. Joining her was fellow ex-housemate Kola Omotosho, one of the very few friends being honored in this unconventional tribute.
With her trademark warmth and humor intact, Imisi casually dropped the bombshell: “I named my three dogs after my friends from BBNaija. I have Coco, Bella, and Bob. That is Kola, Isabella, and Kaybobo.”
The nicknames are clear adaptations—Coco for Kola, Bella for Isabella, and Bobs for Kaybobo—turning everyday pet calls into permanent nods to the bonds forged under Big Brother’s watchful eye.
In a house known for fleeting alliances and dramatic twists, these three connections clearly stood the test of time for Imisi, who emerged victorious with a grand prize worth ₦150 million in cash and sponsor perks.
Kola’s reaction was instant and classic—equal parts playful outrage and amusement. “Don’t be unfortunate,” he shot back with a laugh. “You can’t call your dog after me. Anyway, my name is not Coco.”
The exchange had the hosts and listeners in stitches, perfectly capturing the easy chemistry that made Imisi and Kola fan favorites during the season. Their friendship, often highlighted for its genuine support and banter, appears stronger than ever post-show.
The podcast moment didn’t stop at the dog names. Kola also gave fans a quick update on his personal life, confirming he’s still very much single. “I’m ready to change that status for the right person,” he added, leaving the door open for future romance headlines—perhaps a subtle invitation to the millions still following the BBNaija alumni closely.
Imisi’s gesture stands out as more than just a quirky anecdote; it’s a rare, heartfelt reminder that amid the strategy, drama, and entertainment of reality television, real friendships can form—and endure. In an era where post-show relationships often fade under public scrutiny, naming pets after housemates is Imisi’s creative, lifelong way of saying, “These people mattered.”
As clips from the episode circulate online, fans are already buzzing with reactions—some calling it the sweetest tribute ever, others joking about how their own pets might soon need BBN-inspired renames.
