I saw Elikem as a distractor – Pokello Nare

Zimbabwean socialite, business woman and former Big Brother Africa (BBA) housemate Pokello Nare has revealed she never saw herself marrying Elikem Kumordzie.

According to her, she rather saw Elikem as a distractor during the competition in 2013 since he seemed to prevent her from reaching the ultimate goal, that is winning the $300,000 prize package.

Speaking with Amanda Jissih on E-Talk, Pokello Nare revealed she tried to handle the situation but couldn’t.

“I was losing focus on the grand prize. At first, I thought I would handle it but the more I tried to handle it, the more it got out of hand”, she said.

The love story for the two who were eventually named Polekem started back in the BBA house as Elikem chose Pokello over other girls, prepared breakfast for her in bed, and argued at the least occurrence.

After eviction from the Big Brother House, the two visited Ghana and were given a rousing welcome. Prior to that, Elikem had visited Pokello in her home country Zimbabwe.

Elikem openly proposed to Pokello in 2014 during the Ghana Music Awards.

In June 2015, the two got married in a traditional ceremony and are currently blessed with a baby.

Pokello would however not disclose the gender of the baby.
