It might be Ghana chance for BBA FINALS

Will Ghana's representative in the Big
Brother House, Elikem Kumordzi, make
history by being the first to win the big
gold for his country? JAYNE AUGOYE asks
It's a Nigeria, Ghana, final! For many
enthusiasts, this is a strong possibility as
the Big Brother competition comes to a
close on Sunday. For keen followers of the
show, the coveted star prize of $300,000
( about N48m), belongs to either one of the
top contenders – Nigeria's representatives,
Beverly Osu; Melvin Oduah or Ghana's
Elikem Kumordzi . But others in the chase
are Dillish (Namibia) and Cleo (Zambia)
But whichever way the tables may turn at
the end, both countries – Nigeria and
Ghana would have made history, in several
ways.
First, Elikem has gone down the annals of
Big Brother Africa as the first Ghanaian to
make it into the finale. And by extension,
the first ever Ghanaian winner, that is, If he
wins.
Yet again, Elikem, who is a fashion
designer, became the first housemate to
ever win the Head of House and also
"Power of No" in the same week. The
Power of No allows a housemate to
prevent another housemate from taking
part in the Head of House.
As head of house last week, the 24-year-
old saved himself for the third time and
put up South Africa's Angelo for eviction
instead. He also survived five evictions and
Africa rescued him twice.
Despite parading strong contestants –
Sammi B (2003), Kwaku T (2007), Mimi, Alex
(2008), Confidence (2011), Keita, Eazzy, and
DKB
(2012) in the show, no Ghanaian had
ever come through to the finals. Sammy 'B'
participated in the Big Brother Africa All
Stars edition in 2010, but pulled out
voluntarily, due to medical reasons, after
spending only 33 days.
Meanwhile, Beverly and Melvin have a lot at
stake.
For instance, because the former,
who is a model, incurred the wrath of
viewers after she was alleged to have had
sex with her South African love interest,
Angelo, winning the competition will be a
big deal. It can also help boost her image.
Besides, Beverly has already made history
as the first contestant to make it to the
finals without a single nomination. Both
Melvin and Beverly coincidentally hail from
Delta State.
Twenty-eight-year-old Melvin, who was
only nominated once, is the only
housemate this season, to leave the fate of
the nominees in the hands of Africa. As the
head of house, he did not save or replace
anyone. The model and actor is a one-time
first runner-up in the Mr Nigeria and Gulder
Ultimate Search competitions. So, winning
the competition may be a life changing
experience.
With two of their own in the finals,
Nigerians are in a tricky situation and
somehow divided as to which housemates
to vote for.
The Zambian housemate, Cleo, has survived
four evictions so far. The 23-year-old also
captured the hearts of Africa through her
music. She is a rap artiste back in her home
country.
If looks could help win the star prize, then
Dilish just might win. The Namibian
contestant is tipped as the most beautiful
and sought-after contestant in the
competition.
The Chase grand finale, will not only reveal
the ultimate winner of the $300 000, but
also the winner of the Most Romantic
Gesture. The Most Romantic Gesture winner
will get a five-night all-expenses paid stay
in a luxury room at the Sarova White Sands
Hotel in Mombasa, Kenya, with anyone they
choose to take.
They will also receive two return air tickets
on Rwanda Air as well as spending money.
