Olamilekan Agbeleshe has emerged winner of the Big Brother Naija Season 5.
Fondly known as Laycon , the young lad beat 19 other housemates to be crowned the winner of this year ’ s reality television show .
He led by 60 per cent votes followed by Dorathy with 21. 85 per cent votes . However , Nengi had 15. 03 per cent votes while Neo and Vee had 1. 94 per cent and 1. 18 per cent votes , respectively .
However, Laycon ’ s victory does not come as a surprise as celebrities such as Eniola Badmus, Nkechi Blessing , Samklef, Odunlade Adekola , Broda Shaggi, Anita Joseph , Toyin Lawani, Yul Edochie , Reminisce, Teni D Entertainer , Vector , Niniola , Di ’ Ja , DJ Nana , Ice Prince, Timi Dakolo , Joeboy , Stephanie Coker , Small Doctor , Yvonne Jegede , Seyi Edun, Woli Agba and Funmi Awelewa have been canvassing votes for him on social media.
Music producer- turned- blogger , Samklef, has been particularly vocal about his support for Laycon. He has never hidden his support for the lanky singer and many people have donated money to him , which Samklef , in turn, has disbursed to fans to buy airtime and vote en -masse for Laycon.
As of September 25, he had raised over N 900, 000.
Likewise, Tunde Ednut, who has a followership of over a million followers on Instagram , used his platform to canvass for Laycon.
Interestingly, the young man who went into the house with about four thousand Instagram followers now boasts of a million followers and a verified account while still in the competition.
Also , during the week, some youths in Ogun State held a public walk -in support of Laycon, imploring all who cared to listen to vote for the University of Lagos graduate.
This was even as a restaurant in Lagos offered free food to people to vote for Laycon .
Similar scenarios also played out across the country as both youths and adults have been showing support for Laycon in different ways .
The Fierce rapper seemed like a subject of ridicule as many mocked his looks and dressing , especially his superhero costumes during one of their Saturday night parties .
He was meant to be costumed as Deadpool but the costume made him look like a joke . While his fellow housemates called him a sausage in the outfit, online commenters had a field day creating several memes of his outfit.
He was also laughed at because of his seeming fixation with a now disqualified contestant , Erica Nlewedim, who was more attracted to Kiddwaya .
Despite the odds , most see him as an underdog and he scaled all hurdles to become the winner of this year’ s Big Brother Naija reality show .
Laycon goes home with his head high to meet his mother whom he speaks so fondly of with prizes worth N 85m .
