Uti Wins Big Brother Africa All Stars

After 91 days stay in the Big Brother All Stars house away from family members, mobile phone, internet and totally cut off from the outside world the whole Big Brother Africa All Stars has finally come to an end and Nigerian musician/model/actor, Uti Nwachukwu, has emerged the winner of the converted $200,000 cash prize with Munya from Zimbabwe as the 1st runner up.

This is the second consecutive Big Brother Africa win for Nigeria as Kevin Chuwang Pam won Big Brother Revolution in 2009.

The last live eviction show started with host IK sitting in a parachute amidst, fireworks and acrobatic display. IK entered the house to interact with the final five housemates: Uti from Nigeria, Sheila from Kenya, Munya from Zimbabwe, Mwisho from Tanzania and Lerato from South Africa.

The finale featured performances from MI, Jesse Jagz and 2Face as well as Wyre from Kenya musician Maye Hunta.

The five housemates were shown footages of memories of some flashback of events in the house beginning with Lerato. The nine housemates earlier evicted from the show: Sammi B from Ghana, Hannington from Uganda, Meryl from Namibia, Yacob from Ethiopia, Tatiana from Angola, Kaone from Botswana, Code from Malawi, Jen from Mozambique and Paloma from Zambia, all gorgeously dressed up were introduced on stage to grace the final show and also add colour to the event beamed live across Africa and beyond on DSTV.

It was time to get down to serious business and the first house mate to be evicted from the final five (the tenth housemate evicted) was sexy Sheila representing Kenya. The “Bushman” Mwisho representing Tanzania who got engaged to Meryl in the All Stars house was the eleventh housemate to be evicted and the second to leave the final five.

Rapper MI and Jesse Jagz from Nigeria set the stage on fire with the splendid performance. Housemates, viewers and live studio audience were sent down memory lane once again, via the conflicts in the house, the happy moments, the challenging tasks, the time outs, the emotional moment, the parties and pool and so on.

When presenter IK asked final three Lerato, Uti and Munya how they feel for being the final three, they express mixed feelings. Lerato said she had a lot of thing going on in her mind, Munya said he was tensed and the situation was nerve-racking whiles said Uti he doesn’t know what to say.

South African representative Lerato, who was evicted from the house, sent to the barn and voted back into the house, was the twelfth housemate and the last lady to be evicted from the house. At this point the final two contenders for the $200,000 cash prize Munya and Uti were left in the house and Uti jokingly told Munya “Eih mister challenger?” you want to challenge”. They shared a friendly hand shake as they waited for the winner to be announced.

The man who has made every woman on the African continent feel like a queen came on stage and this was none other than 2Face Idibia and shortly after.

Footages of all nine evicted housemates treated to all dinner in the Sky were shown to viewers where the individual housemates expressed their opinion on the Big Brother All Stars game. Meanwhile Munya and Uti were still in the house awaiting their fate while sharing a bottle Champagne.

DJ Black Coffee and Tumalo were on stage to do their own thing my wowing the audience, after which how the various housemates were evicted from the house was shown.

Finally, came the moment of truth when host IK announced that it was time to know the winner of the Big Brother Africa All Stars. The winner was Uti with 8 countries voting for him and 7 countries for Munya who was in shock.

Munya who had survived about nine evictions on the Big Brother All Stars house looked very surprised and disappointed when Uti’s name was mentioned. Munya shed uncontrollable tears as he walked to the stage, whiles Uti kept asking himself how he was able to win the game. Uti also won extra $1000 in addition to his $200,000 ultimate prize because no housemate was able to discover his secret. The Big Brother All stars kicked off on July 18 with 14 contestants from 14 countries and has been broadcasting live on channel 198 which was exclusive to those on DSTV.

Mwisho from Tanzania featured in Big Brother 1,Jennipher from Mozambique (Season 4), Paloma (Season 4) all the way from Zambia, Munya from Zimbabwe (Season 3) DJ Code Sangala representing Malawi who was from season one, Yacob from Ethiopia (Season 4), Sheila from Kenya(Season), Sammy B (Season One) representing Ghana, Kaone (Season 4) otherwise known as K1 representing Botswana, Meryl (Season 2) representing Namibia, Uti (Season 3) the ladies man from Nigeria, Lerato (Season 2) from South Africa, Ugandan representative Hannington Kuteesa (Season 4) and Tatiana (Season 2) from Angola.

As for Uti, it is a sweet victory after a tough 91 days. While he was in the house, his father passed away. Now, he can go home and be with his family. In addition, he launched his debut single before he entered the BBA House. Perhaps the $200,000 prize will help him push his music career a bit further.
