Temi Nkem speaks of preserving and growing her winnings rather than involving in spending spree.
BBNaija Season 11 winner, Temi Nkem, has officially received her prizes worth N150 million, comprising N90 million in cash and an SUV valued at N60 million, following her victory on the reality television show.
Nkem was presented with the prizes at a ceremony attended by P.M.NEWS, in Ilupeju area of Lagos, where she also disclosed how she plans to manage the cash component of her winnings.
The reality star said she intends to invest a substantial portion of the N90 million cash prize, complete her university education and support her parents.
“I will be investing a very big sum of my money. I know how to work with my money and honestly, I want to get my money to grow,” Nkem said.
She explained that her knowledge of financial management would guide her decisions as she seeks to preserve and grow her winnings rather than spend them recklessly.
Beyond investment, Nkem said she plans to support her parents while also setting aside some money to enjoy herself.
“I’m also going to give my parents. And then, obviously, I’m also going to spend on myself. I’ll eat, take a little trip for myself,” she said.
The BBNaija winner also reflected on her experience in the house when asked which housemate she considered her biggest challenge during the competition.
With confidence, Nkem replied: “Honestly, guys, I can’t even answer that, because clearly, it wasn’t a challenge if I won.”
She said the reality of her victory had yet to fully sink in, as she was still taking time to enjoy the moment and absorb the reaction from fans.
“It hasn’t hit me yet. Right now, I’m just still living in the moment, still going through the comments, seeing all the positivity, all the love, everything,” she said.
With her N90 million cash prize and N60 million SUV now formally presented, Nkem said her immediate focus would be on making thoughtful financial decisions while enjoying the new opportunities that have come with her BBNaija victory.
