I am actually becoming a Big Brother Africa Chase expert now and am enjoying it as the show gradually winds down. Not, am not liking the scandals and the display of sex but on the contrary, the fact that there are still some sane people in the house, maybe not by indulging but in being able to say some rational things. One of such is Elikem, the Ghanaian designer who drew our very own Beverly Osu’s ‘ear’ and told her to be very careful of the South African playboy, Angelo Collins who has been having a field day playing ‘tinko’ with her body at will. As usual, Bev and Elikem were having a heart to heart gist when he asked her about Angelo and the Nigerian babe gleefully said: “Ah he is with me everywhere. Angelo is with me forever.” Elikem called her back into the bathroom for a quick and frank discussion. “It’s not that I’m hating or anything, but I’m just saying that you have to be very careful.” He went on to warn her about making the right choice once The Chase is over. He said he wants her to carefully consider her hopes for a long term relationship with Angelo as he may not have the same plans and was also worried about their age difference. “Make the right choice. Open your eye, that’s all,” he said. I am sure those words may have sunk into her as she walked quietly into the bathroom and sat alone in deep thought for a while. With Angelo’s fiancee spitting fire the other day, it seems that the end of the Chase may well end up the relationship. Well, a word is enough for the wise.
