Ilebaye Odiniya, aka Baye, the Big Brother Naija All Stars winner has revealed why she was communicating with cowries she brought into the House during the show.

She said she carries and talks to the cowries in memory of her late brother.

The Kogi-born model disclosed this while featuring in Pulse’s One On One 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.
