Why I was talking to cowries on BBNaija house– Ilebaye

Ilebaye Odiniya, aka Baye, the Big Brother Naija All Stars winner, has revealed why she was communicating with cowries she smuggled into the house throughout the show.

She says she carries the cowries and chats to them in memory of her late brother.

The Kogi-born model said this while appearing on Pulse’s One On One, which was hosted by fellow reality star Christy O.

The host asked: “There is a claim online where CeeC was saying that you had cowries that you were talking to. Can you tell me more about it?”

Ilebaye replied: “I had something precious to me. Because obviously, you are supposed to have something precious when you’re doing something that you miss at home.

“And the cowries were for my late brother. It has been with me and even the baton. I have a baton on him too. I didn’t know where to keep it. I was just like, Oh! Let me hold something strong.

“It just helps me feel like he [my late brother] is around. He is still with me.”

She said when she came out and she heard what CeeC said, she was disappointed.
