Nigeria’s representatives at the on-going Big Brother Africa(BBA) Amplified, Karen and Vina alongside their Ugandan counterpart, Sharon Salmon, have been assured of a shot at the two USD200,000 prizes come 31st of this month, after dodging nominations.

As it stands now, Africa must choose between Hanni, Kim, Lomwe, Luclay, Millicent, Vimbai and Wendall as they are all in the firing line after the Housemates had their say on Monday (18 July).

Karen survived eviction two weeks ago. And she fortuitously finds herself in with a chance of taking home one of the two major prizes after Vina crucially saved her having put Lomwe up for eviction in.

Vina’s place with Karen was up for eviction after she had once again refused to nominate anyone in the first place! Big Brother cut short an uncertain Vina’s ramblings in the Chat Room and asked that she deliver her ‘save and replace’ decision. Vina then chose her fellow Nigerian, giving her an automatic spot in the final next week.

Earlier in the day, Hanni, Luclay and Karen had bizarrely refused to participate in the nomination sessions. Hanni told Big Brother that she didn’t have the right to make a decision about who should stay or go.

Luclay wouldn’t really give a reason for his refusal to nominate any Housemates, while Karen simply told Big Brother to put her up for eviction.

While Wendall and Vimbai both nominated Kim and Millicent, the former claimed that Kim’s personality had changed since she stopped drinking. Vimbai felt that Millicent was being horrible to some of the other Housemates.

Vina also nominated Kim, saying that she was a strong competitor – and then nominated Wendall because he is too competitive.

Millicent also chose Wendall, because she felt he hadn’t opened up to her. Her second nomination went to Karen, since “ Nigeria still has two representatives in the House”.

Sharon O shared Millicent’s sentiments on Karen. She nominated Vimbai because she wouldn’t like to go up against her in the final week.
