This game has ended
So how did UTI Nwachukwu, a Nigerian, win Big Brother Africa? Or how did a Nigerian again win the Big brother Africa game show for the second time in a row?
This seems to be the major question on the lips of many Africans and mostly die hard MUFC fans and block voters from the SADC who have been critical of how the game turned up. I myself had been thinking but in my mind I said it would either be UTI or Munya that gets the prize.
While at one time, the popular opinion on the web and forums was that MUFC fans were hacking Big brother votes as one could not imagine countries like Tanzania and others voting for Munya when there is Mwisho and others. The thing on the mind of die hard UFC fans like myself was that MUFC fans were opening online big brother accounts using different ips from countries in South Africa and were only rigging the voting system which ought to be free and fair. While that is actually possible, it would have been better if big brother only used sms and then we will see if Munya would get a vote from another country other than his own.
Anyway, here are my reasons why I think UTI won inspite of the seemingly unclear support for Munya from internet fans:
- Uti played a better game.
- 8 African countries voted for him as against Munya who had only 7
- Uti was able to win votes mostly as a result of his friendliness to other housemates
- Munya blew his chances in the final week by quarreling with housemates
- Africa voted massively for Uti
- Big Brother voting system may not be perfect but as long as viewers vote massively, it would turn out right
- Other housemates helped Uti win
- The Nigerian factor also contributed but was not sufficient in itself to winHow Big Brother voting system actually worksA lot of people may not know exactly how the voting system works and may end up being confused as to how and why but I think it is time we made it much clearer.
Votes are made up from participating countries across Africa such as Angola, Botswana, Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe and the rest of Africa.How votes are counted: In all there are 15 votes and every vote from a participating country is counted as 1 with rest of Africa also as 1. Rest of Africa is for votes from people who may not have indicated their country or location and I think it is from web votes.How Uti won the game:
Uti got 8 votes which is 1 more than Munya's which was 7. The countries that voted for Uti included
- Nigeria
- Uganda
- Kenya
- Ghana
- Angola
- Ethiopia
- Mozambique
- Rest of Africawhile Munya got votes from the following countries:
Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia, South Africa and ZimbabweI still don't know why Tanzania chose to vote for Munya rather than Mwisho given that Mwisho is not in any way friendly to Munya. Maybe it's just another Southern African thing.Anyway, the game has ended and Africa has spoken.Fellow UTIMANIACS, you Rock!!
