#BBATheChase: BOLT AND MARIA EVICTED

#BBATheChase: Bolt and Maria evicted!

This week, Annabel, Bolt, Dillish, Hakeem, Maria and Natasha were on the chopping block and it was left to Africa to decide who stays. Africa saved Annabel, Dillish, Hakeem, Pokello and Natasha from possible Eviction while Sierra Loene’s Bolt and Namibia’s Maria were shown the exit door.


Bolt now has a chance to reunite with Ethiopia’s Betty who was Evicted in Week 4 and they can handle their businesses henceforth without the hawk eyes of the Big brother cameras. Perhaps Bolt won’t be so surprised as he has known all week that he was up for possible eviction tonight but for Maria, the story was quite different.A rather shocked Maria who has never been up for eviction looked on helplessly as the Diamond HOH for the week,Nando announced that he saved and replaced himself with Maria.Before the consequence of this switch could settle in,IK announced the eviction of the beautiful Namibian.









Once again Malawi’s Natasha and Zimbabwe’s Pokello survived the chopping block,Remember Natasha and has been up for eviction more times than any other housemates but luck keeps shinning on the Malawian and once again she can hang loose.

Evictees so far are #LK4 and #Denzel from Uganda,#Koketso from South Africa, #Biguesas and#Neyll from Angola,#Kenya’s Huddah, Botswana’s#Motamma,Sierra Loene’s Bolt,Maria from Namibia and Ethiopia’s #Betty.
How Africa voted >
Angola: Pokello
Botswana: Dillish
Ghana: Pokello
Kenya: Annabel
Ethiopia: Dillish
Malawi: Natasha
Namibia: Maria
Nigeria: Dillish
South Africa: Pokello
Sierra Leone: Bolt
Tanzania: Annabel
Uganda: Annabel
Zambia: Hakeem
Zimbabwe: Pokello
Rest of Africa: Dillish

Total: Pokello = 4; Dillish = 4; Annabel =3, Natasha = 1, Hakeem = 1, Bolt = 1, Maria = 1. (Total: 15 Votes)

NEWS: MEET NIGERIAN ASPIRANT FOR MAYOR OF MICHIGAN



A young Igbo man, John Olumba, who is currently a State of Michigan House Representative is contesting for the post of Mayor in the City of Detroit, Michigan.


John, 31, is a lawyer and pastor and proudly Nigeria’s first man to be elected into state office since Michigan began to exist.


In a recent interview he stated that his father hails from Owerri in Imo State and he wants to lead the troubled city into an age of revival.


But he questions the record of some of the candidates. “Are we going to go with someone who’s been a part of the political establishment? Across the United States, part of the slogan was ‘forward.’ It’s time for people to stop looking backward,” he said.


The newcomer to the mayoral race says he’s not worried about the other candidates and says he represents innovation. His plan for the city, he says, is trilateral: a war on poverty, corruption and crime according to him, all go hand in hand.


We at Loud Africa wish him all the best !!!

FEATURE: OY- A Fresh Sound from Ghana

The recent MTV Base concert in Durban was not only a chance to see the renamed Lion but a great opportunity to see performances from some great artists from this wonderful continent. In keeping with the African theme our musical star today is Joy Frempong more popularly known by her stage name OY. This genre defying artiste hails from Ghana and has been on a journey thought Africa that has influenced her latest album Kokokyinaka

Kokokyinaka is the Akan (Ghanaian language) name for the bird ‘Great Blue Turaco or Giant Plantain Eater’ whose looks I love – blue with a punky crown. It’s also said to have taught man to drum, and so drummers would not kill or eat it. The reason she chose the title was because of this poem:

Kokokyinaka Asamoa, the clock-bird, how do we greet you?
We greet you with ”anyaado”
We hail you as the drummer’s child,
The drummer’s child sleeps and awakes with the dawn.
I am learning, let me succeed.

You know the sonic journey is going to one of adventure when the first sounds you hear are of a clapped out public transport bus wheezing and grinding its way to a breakdown while OY explains how to pronounce the title of her album. And what an adventure it is. Kokokyinaka, the sophomore album  is an experimental, genre-bending, generously seasoned stew of Africa-inflected Electronica that captures, illuminates and refracts her journey through Mali (4 weeks), Ghana, Burkina Faso and South Africa (5 weeks), with all the “found” sounds recorded as she traveled  and with lyrics inspired either by traditional African stories or proverbs or by conversations held with various people she met during her travels, or simply picked up along the way.

If this sounds interesting then you’re in luck because she is on her way back to tour with her band: the tour dates are listed below.
  • 25-05, Maputo (MOC) – Azgo Festival
  • 26-05, Harare (ZBW) – Book CafĂ©
  • 28-05, Cape Town (ZA) – Mahogany Room
  • 31-05, Johanesbourg (ZA) – King Kong
  • 02-06, Swaziland (SWZ) – Bush Fire Festival
Cape Town fans are in for a special treat as OY will also be hosting a workshop on the 29th of May  at 48 Albert Road, Woodstock.
