Falling in love? Not for now – Bib Brother Africa (BBA) Winner, Uti Nwachukwu
Falling in love? Not for now – BBA Winner, Uti Nwachukwu
The winner of Big Brother All Stars, Uti Nwachukwu returned to the country last week to a grand reception organised by M-net Nigeria.
HVP caught up with him as he recounts his thrilling experience, while in the house, his aspirations as well as love life.
Hear him….
Welcome back to the country. How did you feel emerging winner of BBA All Stars reality show?
 |
| BBA All Stars Winner (middle) Uti |
How would you describe your experience in the house?
It was amazing, I had fun. The experience was memorable.
While watching the grand finale, your countenance showed that you were not expecting to win the prize?
I’m a positive thinker. In my heart of hearts, I was convinced I was going to win the show.
But I expressed shocked that God actually answered my prayer; that God was actually listening to me. I was wondering what manner of God is this, that proved Himself faithful.
It was a moment of spiritual affinity with my God; that my faith in Him was not in vain after all. That was what you read in my face.
Does it mean you were looking forward to bringing the prize money back to Nigeria?
Yes, I was determined to win the contest. Of course, everybody thought because Nigeria won the contest last year, the country would not win again in this year’s edition.
How come you did not go into a relationship in the house?
It was because I’m a disciplined young man. I was there for a reason and not the contrary.
I was in the house to entertain Africans and also to showcase the best side of me to the world, and never to derail. Entering into a relationship would cause me to loose focus and I was not prepared to make that mistake.
When you heard of your Dad’s demise, you were in a very low spirit. How were you able to cope with the sad news given the challenges ahead of you?
It was just God that sustained me. Like I said earlier, I put everything in God’s hands. I remembered that it was the last thing I told my Dad, I was going to do before I left for South Africa.
That made me to feel stronger and the fact that my Mom was watching me on Dstv, I didn’t want her to feel that while she was mourning back in Nigeria, her son was also mourning in the house. That how she saw cope on screen, would also help her to cope with the situation too.
Who are you going to miss among your fellow housemates?
I’m going to miss Sheila, Mwisho, Hannington, Lerato and Meryl . In fact, I’m going to miss all the housemates. Yes, while in the house, I missed my family and my friends back in Nigeria.
And you were in the house in 2008, where you happened to be the third housemate evicted. How did it happen?
I have no idea. People said it was because of the glass house incident and many other insinuations But here I am today. I was never discouraged because I knew I possess some potentials in me.
You said, you didn’t go into any relationship while you were in the house, how come you were emotionally attached to the Kenyan representative Sheila?
Sheila is my good friend, and nothing more than that.
Would you agree to the fact that being in the house affected your lifestyle?
Yes, it made me a better person. It also helped me to work with people from different cultural backgrounds; it opened my eyes in several ways. I discovered myself and learn to let everything go, while in the show. I put my trust in God and He proved me right.
So, being in the house really affected my life in so many positive ways.
Now that the show has come and gone, what are you planning to do next? How do you intend to spend the prize money?
I’m going back to work; to the television and music. As for how I intend to spend the money, I’m yet to give it a thought. But when I’m through with my family problem, I should be able to ascertain what to do with the money. But at the moment, I’m planning to channel part of the money into a prostrate cancer awareness campaign. Hopefully, I will be able to get sponsors.
You started off as a banker, and also you read Computer Science under Education. Why did you walk out of the banking hall for showbiz?
I did my one year industrial training in the bank. While the duration expired, I went back to school to complete my academic programme. Though I’d made up my mind to go into the entertainment business after graduation. I’m not an office person per se. I like travelling and mingling with other people.
It’s not surprising that you have been clamouring to hit the top, having featured once in the Next Movie Star?
I think I was born to be an entertainer. Entertaining people is the only thing I see myself doing in life. I just want to make my mark in the industry so that I can begin to earn good money as an entertainer.
You are handsome and promising, and with a lot of money at your disposal, how are you going to contend with some of your female fans, especially those of them with hidden motives?
The same way I tried to cope, while I was in the house. God is my strength. I don’t have to be sleeping around. I’m going to be honest with people that will come my way. But as for falling in love, I don’t think I’m prepared for it now.
You are in any relationship at the moment?
Not really.
Meaning there is no woman in your life?
Yes, for now, there is no woman in my life. I was in a relationship that ended in November last year. I’m not in a hurry to start off another relationship.
What led to the break up?
I had an issue with her that we couldn’t resolve. That was it.
And you are not thinking of going into a new relationship?
Not so soon.

PMAN Organizes Concerts For Michael Jackson
The biggest posthumous celebration of late King of world Pop music, Michael Jackson on African soil is underway as the umbrella body of musicians in Nigeria, the Performing Musicians Employers Association of Nigeria (PMAN) has concluded plans to hold concerts in various parts of the country in his memory.
In a letter to the US Ambassador in Nigeria signed by the President, Admiral Dele Abiodun, PMAN noted that it has finalized arrangements to honour Michael Jackson with live concerts in three geo-political zones of Nigeria.
According to him, the first of the concerts already billed to come up between Wednesday, August 19 and Saturday, 22, 2009 is to host road shows, dance shows, song contests and live concerts, in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
Speaking on why PMAN is organizing the concerts, Abiodun said “it is in honour of his numerous contributions to the development of virile music and ultimately, the entertainment industry in the world and Nigeria in particular”.
According to him, Michael Jackson left an indelible giant footprint on the sands of time and an irrevocable vocal impression on the sound of eternity.
He noted that “his works are felt in every nook and cranny of the world, Nigeria inclusive; and he has a large following in Nigeria, which is why we are planning to gather his fans and lovers of his music across Nigeria, so that we can celebrate him together”.
He said PMAN deliberately zoned the concerts to Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt to allow music lovers from every part of the country have the feel of the celebration, which he promised to be fun filled.
While expressing his condolence to the government and people of the United States over the loss of Michael Jackson whom he described as the Greatest Ambassador of America, Abiodun emphasized that Nigerians and Nigerian musicians would miss the mega star.

The PMAN President also commended the US government for its efforts at ensuring that all issues surrounding the estate Michael Jackson left behind are properly settled.
P-Square drops yet another new video.
In related news, Nigeria’s pop award-winning twins, Peter and Paul Okoye have released a new video titled ‘Gimme that’. It was shot in South Africa and directed, as usual, by their brother and manager, Jude Engees Okoye.
This becomes the fourth video to be released off their fourth LP titled Danger.
Sources close to the twins have confirmed the production of a Video CD compilation of all four videos: Danger, I love You, E no easy and Gimme that and possibly footage from their recently concluded European tour.
With business discussions as regards marketing and retailing currently on-going, the VCD, we gather, will be released in a couple of weeks.
The twins recently completed and moved into their twin-duplex mansion with a swimming pool and underground studio. They also acquired four brand new luxury cars which set them back by a whooping N65million.
The famous singers, choreographers and Glo ambassadors who’s toured Africa repeatedly, are currently on break, getting ready for their next set of engagements as the year draws to an end.

LOVERS of Nollywood movies can now enjoy another blockbuster movie at cinemas nationwide.
The movie entitled High Blood Pressure is the latest work of creative and respected movie director, Teco Benson.
Teco Benson and his executive producer/financier, John Okonkwo, owner of Goodlife Production, have sealed plans to storm major cinemas nationwide with the star-studded and suspense-filled political thriller. According to Benson, High Blood Pressure, which was painstakingly shot over a period of six months within the Lagos metropolis, will sensationally begin showing at the cinemas on Friday, March 12, 2010.
The movie which stars Nollywood big names such as Kanayo O. Kanayo, Clarion Chukwura, Lilian Bach, Yemi Blaq, Jibola Daboh, Jim Roach and several others will be shown in cinemas nationwide as well as in Kenya and Ghana.
Speaking briefly on the synopsis of the flick, which he argued would definitely change the political landscape, especially now that 2011 is fast approaching, Benson said: “High Blood Pressure is a film that truly mirrors the dirty politics, shenanigans, betrayal, greed, blood spilling, cultism and the unholy alliances daily going on among our politicians in their desperate quest for power. I'm appealing to our politicians, especially the power drunk ones to watch this movie and help our nation move ahead after 2011. I won't divulge much, so that the real story will not be given away. Immediately after the premiere, we will begin the nationwide showing, for Nigerians and the world to see the best political story ever told by a Nigerian filmmaker,” he said.
