Ivatar finally cracked the code this season, describing her journey as being worth every try. She says she only made it after seven separate attempts, showing that she never lost belief that she belonged in the BBNaija house .

Breaking Barriers
At the launch, Ivatar revealed she is 44 years old, making her the oldest contestant in the female lineup this year . She’s a single mother, raised partly in South Africa, and proudly carries both Igbo and Yoruba heritage into the house. Her bold presence and visible tattoos sparked strong reactions online — some fans call her a trendsetter, others thought her look was too extreme for the BBNaija space .
What Makes Ivatar Stand Out
Resilience: Auditioning seven times shows commitment few housemates can claim. Age diversity: Her 44-year-old status challenges norms in a youth-focused reality show. Unique vibe: Tattoos, piercing, media skills, and a strong sense of self have already captured attention.

Ivatar’s story is resonating with fans who appreciate her grit and her willingness to push boundaries. Many say her journey is a symbol of determination—a reminder that persistence often pays off.
What Could Happen Next
Ivatar is seen by many as a wild card in Season 10. She brings creative energy, emotional strength, and life experience. As male housemates enter and alliances form, all eyes will remain on how her past efforts shine through in strategy and personality.
With her personal stories, outspoken nature, and ability to forgive and move on fast, Ivatar may carve out a memorable path in the BBNaija house .
