The MIPOW race is won!
After weeks of challenges, strategy and pressure, the MIPOW journey has come to an end.
Every decision, challenge, win, loss and strategic move throughout the season had an impact – not only on the Housemates’ individual games, but on the prize money itself.
By the end of the season the Most Influential Player of the Week Prize Pot has reached ₦10 million.
The ₦90 million season cash prize will go to the eventual winner, while the accumulated MIPOW pot will be shared equally among the eligible weekly winners: Chimsom Chuka, Sultex, Abi, Sheba, Barry, Aikou and Tram.
Congratulations to the MIPOW winners! After weeks of influence, strategy and pressure, their share of the pot is well earned.
Every naira lost throughout the season found its way back into the game — and now, with the finale upon us, the final numbers are in.
