BBA: Kenya’s Annabel evicted, Tanzania’s Nando disqualified
After Sundays’ live eviction show that saw Kenya’s quest for Big Brother Africa supremacy end on The Chasewith Annabel being sent home, in a surprising turn of events, Tanzania’s Nando has found himself disqualified.
In a fight with Elikem, which was instigated by Nando, the Tanzanian’s actions and provocation in the heated fight was a direct violation of Big Brother Africa rules.
“Any Housemate who becomes physically violent will be removed from the House immediately. Violence can refer to self-inflicted violence, or violence towards another. Violence includes provocation, goading, bullying and victimisation,” said Biggie.
Caught sleeping with scissors under his bed, the Tanzanian shared in the Diary Room that he was given his third strike for making threats against Elikem’s life, saying: “I feel like stabbing him. A nigga like that deserves to die.”
As for Annabel, the support from only East African countries proved just not enough to keep the Kenyan in the running for the USD $300,000 grand prize.
We wish Annabel all the best in her future endeavors!
Many people across Italy celebrated the fact that Cecile Kyenge become Italy’s first Black Minister. Her portfolio is Intergration. One of her tasks has been to change Italian citizenship law from ‘blood line’ to anyone who is born on Italian soil. Here we must remember that millions of Italians born in countries such as the USA have automatically been given US citizenship. Kyenge wants the same to apply in Italy.
Cécile Kyenge: The bravest woman in EU politics today
Many people across Italy celebrated the fact that Cecile Kyenge become Italy’s first Black Minister. Her portfolio is Intergration. One of her tasks has been to change Italian citizenship law from ‘blood line’ to anyone who is born on Italian soil. Here we must remember that millions of Italians born in countries such as the USA have automatically been given US citizenship. Kyenge wants the same to apply in Italy.
However, ever since she has been appointed Minister, Kyenge, who herself was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been subject to daily racial abuse. Over the weekend at a rally in Cervia, Central Italy when Kyenge was speaking a spectator began throwing bananas at her narrowly missing her. Her retort full of humility and one suspects sadness was to tell the racist that his action was a ‘waste of good food.’
But i'ts not bananas that Italy’s first Black Minister has to dodge, the gross insults such as being likened to an Orangutan come from Italian senators. But even worse than the insults are the threats of violence included one from a local councilor who argued that Kyenge should be raped so that she understands ‘how victims of crime committed by immigrants feel.’
Many politicians would capitulate from this deluge of abuse and sickening threats, but not Kyenge, she’s made of stronger stuff.
Let’s send Italy’s brave Minister a message of support from Black and white Britons and Italians living in the UK.
Keep strong Cecile Kyenge, keep doing the right thing!
