Big Brother Naija Season 10 first runner-up Dede Ashiogwu, whose real name is Precious Ashiogwu, is celebrating her 25th birthday today, Friday, October 23, 2026, and she was reported to have welcomed the milestone with a fresh set of photos shared on her Instagram page on Thursday, October 22, 2026. The posts drew a wave of attention from fans, who have followed her closely since she left the Big Brother Naija house.
Dede was born on October 23, 2001, in Delta State, and she rose to national attention in 2025 when she entered the Big Brother Naija Season 10 house. She was reported to have started the season as a housemate many viewers did not consider a serious contender, but she won people over with her gameplay and went on to finish as first runner-up among 29 housemates, polling 15.9 per cent of the total votes.
Since leaving the show, she was reported to have built a busy career as an influencer, content creator and stylist, working with brands such as Guinness, Vaseline, Extract and Don Julio. In 2026 she launched her fashion styling brand, Dede_Did_It, after first styling her own looks for brand events, and she was reported to have been added to the YNaija Masterlist on October 14, 2026.
This year’s celebration also follows an unforgettable one, because fans who call themselves The Golden Tribe were reported to have surprised her at an event on October 22, 2025, ahead of her 24th birthday, with ₦30 million in cash and luxury items that brought the total value of the gifts to about ₦44.7 million. That gesture made her birthday a closely watched moment on social media, and fans have again filled her timeline with celebratory messages as she steps into a new age.
