Zimbabwe's former Big Brother Amplified Housemate Vimbai Mutinhiri will be among the hosts for this year's Africa Magic Viewer's Choice Awards (AMVCA) scheduled for March 8 in Lagos, Nigeria. 
 
Vimbai will co-host the second edition of the awards set to be broadcast live on DStv and GOtv in over 50 countries in Africa, alongside Big Brother Africa host and radio personality IK plus Tinsel star Osas Ighodaro. 
 
M-Net's Biola Alabi says: "IK and Vimbai did a tremendous job of hosting the inaugural AMVCAs. We are confident that with the addition of Osas, this dynamic team will once more keep this exciting and fast-paced live event running smoothly. With more viewer voted categories, the launch of the New Era Award and a sensational new stage, the latest edition of these awards should be bigger and better." 
 
"From witnessing some of the greatest contributors in African film and TV being recognised for their phenomenal work, to watching fresh faces embarking on new journeys into the industry, the evening is a reminder of how much work, passion and commitment goes into film and TV. Plus the nominees have helped drive African film into contemporary culture and modernity in so many ways, so it will be great to see who takes the first New Era Award," said Vimbai. 
 
A galaxy of African film and TV stars are expected to attend the glittering industry showcase, where a total of 29 awards in 27 categories will be awarded. 137 nominations from across 80 productions have been received.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to reliable sources, BBA The Chase contestant Bimp Tesfaye has decided to call it quits with his long-term Ethiopian girlfriend. 
 
Bimp made the decision basing on the fact that even though he had been faithful to her by refusing to have anything with other women even in the BBA house, she on the other hand was busy getting with other men, and has been taking advantage of the time Bimp spent away from home to enjoy countless flings. 
 
On finding out, Bimp has resolved to move and stay in Nigeria permanently, and has even refused to give the broken relationship a fixing chance. 
 
Bimp however, continues to deny claims that fellow BBA housemate and bestie Beverly Osu, may have caused the breakup, considering that he spends a lot of time with her in Nigeria. 
 
According to him, Beverly and him are just friends, and she didn't at any one time get in the way of his romantic relationship with his girlfriend.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Big Brother Africa 2013 winner, Dillish Mathews is in Nigeria shooting a romantic movie in which she plays the lead role alongside Melvin. The reality TV star has been travelling since exiting the reality show and recently finished shooting a music video with Nigerian music star Flavour, titled '<a href="http://www.bbashow.blogspot.com/2014/01/watch-dillish-in-flavours-new.html" target="_blank">Ikwokrikwo</a>'. 
 
The West African country is known as the home of African entertainment, as aspiring actors and musicians flock there for a piece of the Nollywood dream. 
 
"The movie we are shooting is titled 'Amber'. It's about a woman who falls in love and on her wedding day the groom fails to show up because he is being blackmailed. I'm shooting alongside my fellow ex-housemate Melvin Oduah and one of the biggest actors in Nigeria, Nonso Diobi. I'm very excited as it will be my first time starring in a movie of this kind. 
 
"The director, Shedrack, is one of the best in Nollywood and is very skilled in his craft." 
 
The movie will premiere first in Nigeria, then in Namibia and lastly the United Kingdom, all of which will happen in April, she said. 
 
"The movie industry in Nigeria is booming and receiving worldwide recognition. It will definitely open billions of doors for me." 
 
When The Namibian asked her about any upcoming business projects in the West African nation, Dillish said she is not sure if she wants to invest in businesses in Nigeria just yet. 
 
"I'm not sure about venturing into business there but right now but I'm talking to (Nigerian) people to invest in film production in Namibia because they are extremely successful in this field." 
 
Dillish says she never auditioned for the role and decided to star in the movie after the director kept saying she was perfect for the role. 
 
"I have about six more movies lined up and it will be crazy busy for the next seven months. Also look out for my lip gloss and lipstick line that will be launched on the 14th of February," she said.</div>

Pokello Dance Video Goes Viral

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zimbabwe's dance and musical outfit, Antivirus Crew, dropped their debut musical video titled Pokello Dance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With over 3,000 views on YouTube in its first two days, the video is the best so far released this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pokello Dance has been designed to celebrate being Zimbabwean and to appreciate <a href="http://bbashow.blogspot.com/search/label/Pokello" target="_blank">Pokello Nare</a>'s efforts in the Big Brother Africa: The Chase reality show.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The colourful video has all that defines a party song — great setting, good looking women and champagne.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The video is evidence of good work from both the group and the director Andy Cutta with great editing skills.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the audio lacks originality as vocals sound West African on a Zimbabwean song which is meant to celebrate being Zimbabwean.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe it is because Pokello is dating Ghanaian <a href="http://bbashow.blogspot.com/search/label/Elikem" target="_blank">Elikem Kumordzie</a>, that's why the crew decided on West African sound.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since it's the award-winning dance group's first video, we wait and see if their future projects will sound West African like the first. Check out the video below..</div>

'Nigerians Broke My Relationship With Angelo' - Beverly Opens Up

Anyone who watched BBA season 8 (The Chase) would know Beverly Osu to be a talker without any bother in the world. Her subjects of conversation in the house had no borders too – she talked about anything there is to be talked about and calls out anyone there is to be called out. It was the reason some viewers (Nigerians or not) didn’t like her in the house and the same reason many favourited her. 
 
Sadly, the young woman thinks Nigerians didn’t let her last in the arms of the only prize she took out of the BBA house – Angelo. But she has since moved on with her life. And with a new modeling deal with cosmetic brand, Prestige Cosmetics and fellow housemate Bimp constantly by her side, Angelo is the least person on Ms Osu’s list, it would seem. 
 
The two BBA stars spoke to Hip Hop World Magazine about their relationship, insisting they are only ‘close’ friends, as against popular belief. 
 What is your relationship with Bimp? 
 
We are close, everybody knows this right from the house. People think we are dating because he is always in Nigeria but we are good friends. Can’t I have a friend that is a boy? 
 
What’s up with you and Angelo now? 
 
We have broken up. Is it not Nigerians that caused it? 
 
How did Nigerians cause it? 
 
Today, one paper will say Beverly is with this man, tomorrow another paper will say another thing, I don’t know. 
 
You and your friend/former manager Charity Owoh reportedly fought over Bimp, how true?  
 
We are good; there is no issue between us. Yes, she was my manager but it’s just that we were mixing business with pleasure so I had to get another manager who is level headed and would take things serious that’s all. I’m hardly around so we don’t see each other most of the time. 
 
How would you react to the criticism that trailed the sexual picture you used on your Christmas card? 
 
Apparently, that picture was taken two years ago. I had deleted it from my page but later put it back on my own Instagram page, and people started insulting their forefathers thinking that they are insulting me and I was just laughing. Are they the ones that paid for my photo shoot?  Everybody has their own way of celebrating Christmas and that is why own way so I don’t understand how my own will be affecting someone’s soul. Anyway let them continue talking. 
 
A video vixen (Vanetta Akpofure) named you the worse dressed celebrity, do you agree? 
 
Now I want to talk about that issue. Two days after the Big Brother Africa show, I had not stepped out from where MNET kept me because I had a bad leg and was taking treatment for it and when I came back I heard about the  comment and I’m wondering where she saw me. Did she see me in her dreams? If it’s paining her she should buy me a fine dress since she is the best dressed celebrity. 
 
Bimp had this to say: 
 
You are frequent to Nigeria these days, why? 
 
It’s my third time back here, I love Nigeria and I always want to come back. Nigeria has been treating me really really good but it is hot here. 
 
What have you been doing after BBA? 
 
I’m still working on that TV show that I’ve always talked about; One Love, One Blood, One Africa. I’m going to do some movies too hopefully, trying something on music. I have a company back in Ethiopia and I want to bring it down here in Nigeria. I’m trying to enter every business .The chase starts now! 
 
What kind of business is it? 
 
The company is owned by me and two other Italians, it’s an Italian based company called Quadra Luce and Designs. We provide interior designs; we design clubs, hotels, apartments, and we also provide electronics, and lightings, sound system for clubs, events and furniture too. So if you want anything just give me a call. 
 
Are you both dating Beverly? 
 
Bev and I are really close. To be with someone you see 24 hours a day in a house for three months and not getting to know the person better is not easy. You’ll realise that you will have a bond different from the friends you have out there. So we are close, I know a lot of people are speculating about us dating but we are really close. 
 
Do you have a girlfriend? 
 
No, not right now. I did have a girlfriend, I stayed true to her and Africa knows. But when I got back home, I discovered some things about her and she was cheating while I was away. So we had to end it. 
 
Would anything happen between you and Beverly? 
 
Hopefully, you never know. Who knows what tomorrow brings? Now that my relationship has ended, we’ll see. But for now, we are close, more like family.

 Zimbabwean beauty and former BBA Chasemate, Pokello Nare says she has landed her first role in a Nollywood movie. And she cannot stop laughing.</div>

 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Reading this script I got for my 1st movie in Naija. Lol I'm laughing my ass off. I'm trying to picture myself in this role! Kikikikiki," she tweeted without giving anything away about the role she has been asked to play or what the movie is all about.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She added : "Lol, I need to get serious and read these lines. Coz the way I'm laughing is not productive!"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pokello is a businesswoman but has always fancied her chances as an actress. Her boyfriend, Ghanaian, Elikem, has a few movies under his belt. He is an okay actor but tailoring is probably the future for him.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A shop attendant at the Belvedere shop of former Big Brother Africa housemate, Pokello Nare was yesterday sentenced to perform 140 hours of community service for stealing the US$60 paid for a pair of ladies shoes. 
 
However, all eyes were on Nare as people jostled to get a glimpse of her as she attended the trial. 
 
Diana Rukezo (35), who was employed as a shop attendant at the shop in Long Cheng Plaza in Belvedere was convicted of stealing US$60. 
 
Rukezo pleaded not guilty to fraud charges, but magistrate Ms Tilda Mutambanashe convicted her after overwhelming evidence. 
 
Ms Mutambanashe sentenced Rukezo to eight months in prison but suspended three months on condition of good behaviour in the next three years. Another month was suspended on condition she pays back the US$60 and the remaining four months were suspended on condition of 140 hours of community service. 
 
Prosecutor Thomas Mabwe told the court that on December 20 last year a customer bought a pair of shoes in Pokello’s shop and Rukezo receipted the money . But the next afternoon, the customer came back with the shoes she bought in the shop complaining that one shoe was torn. 
 
In the absence of Rukezo, Ms Nare dealt with the customer, who gave her the receipt. 
 
Ms Nare then found that the receipt was out of sequence and was told the customer received it from Rukezo, who was questioned later, but could not satisfy Ms Nare.

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
IK Osakioduwa is best known for his recurrent stints as host of Big Brother Africa. In a recent chat with him, he had interesting things to say. 
 
How was 2013 for you 
It was a tough year for many and it was at the starting tough for me too but bless God the ending of 2013 was an awesome period for me. I was working every day and I’m grateful to God to be employed  and to have the opportunities that I have. 
 
Plans for 2014 
In 2014 I’m going to be doing a lot of work. I want to share the love so I’m going to be training a few people to do what I do as an MC and a TV presenter. 2014 is my mentorship year. I want to put it out there to teach people to make a business out of what they are called to do. Those are my plans for 2014. 
 
Favourite DStv Channel 
I’ll be kind of biased if I say it is AfricaMagic but hey, what do you expect seriously? We love AfricaMagic and it’s made quite a difference to our lives so I will lie to you if I said it was another channel. There are several channels I like but my favourite has to be AfricaMagic. 
 
Favourite programme on DStv 
Favourite DStv programme…will that be apart from Big Brother Africa? That’s really tough too! We’ve got so many good ones on DStv. Outside of Big Brother my favourite DStv programme might be 53 Extra. I have a natural love for 53 Extra because I worked on the show. It’s a bias I know, but I can’t help it. 
 
Thoughts on Mandela 
Mandela was a great man, an awesome man and as long as you live on the African continent, he was a symbol of hope and freedom for us. But more than anything else for me, he was a symbol of responsibility. He made me realize how not a bunch, not a state, not a country but one individual can make a difference. He was a symbol of responsibility, of freedom, of taking ownership for your country. He meant a great deal to me and I think all of us who witnessed his life were honored to live in his time. 
 
I believe in Nigeria because... 
Nigeria is indefatigable. You cannot defeat our spirit or completely take away our self-esteem no matter what we go through be it political trauma, terrorism,  racism from other countries or discrimination from people who don’t understand us. You can never completely hold the Nigerian down. We believe in ourselves. I believe in us. I believe in Nigeria because we can’t be totally defeated. 
 
IK is the host of Comedy Club: Live In Lagos which airs at 20:00 on Saturday, 11 January on AfricaMagic.

The MC, 'Ghana Must Go' invited the duo upstage to talk to the crowd, during which he asked Maria if she loved Nigeria, her response was "I love this guy" referring to Melvin. So to say; her visits to Nigeria and love  for the country has everything to do with Melvin. 
 
Sources also continue to reveal that you could see the love in her eyes as she looked Melvin in the face with her hands on his shoulder. 
 
The Namibian also spoke some of the vernacular she has picked from her stay in Nigeria and the two later danced to Davido's hit single "Skelewu" as pictured above.</div>
