Despite having 1.3 million organic followers, White Money had remained unverified and it was beginning to look like the Enugu-born winner was jinxed.

While the BBNaija winner did not officially announce the development, his die-hard followers have taken to social media platforms to celebrate his validation and congratulate him.
The 29-year-old is, however, yet to be verified by other prominent social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and others.
White Money won BBNaija “Shine Ya Eye” comfortably and also doubled Liquorose’s votes in the process. While he got 47percent of the total votes, Liquorose got 22.99 percent. it was therefore, White Money had only himself to beat, as there was no close competition.
Pere who was the 2nd runner up had 14.77 percent, while Cross, Angel and Emmanuel scored 6.44 percent, 5.37 percent and 3.43 percent respectively.
It was a landslide for the Enugu State born housemate, who not only won the N90 million grand prize but dethroned Laycon, winner of BBNaija season 5 to become the reigning champion of BBNaija.
