Nkem arrived at the prize presentation with her mother, while some of her fellow Season 11 housemates were also present to celebrate her achievement.
She expressed appreciation to God, her family, fans and supporters who voted for her throughout the competition. Nkem said she planned to invest most of her cash prize and return to school.
“I’m just 21, I need to invest in my future, so I’m going to be investing the money, and I also need to go back to school,” she said.
Nkem’s victory came after 70 days of competition involving 24 housemates, with the season featuring evictions, tasks, Head of House competitions and several twists that shaped the contestants’ journeys.
Her N160 million prize package comprises N90 million in cash, a brand-new SUV and other sponsored rewards.
The cash component was reduced from the original N100 million after N10 million was allocated to the Most Influential Player of the Week prize fund.
Her victory makes her the fifth female winner in Big Brother Naija history, following Mercy Eke, Phyna, Ilebaye and Imisi.
