MNET’s Big Brother Africa 4 reality show starts 5th September 2009 with very high expectations due to the hype from MNET. The show would last for 91 days. From Wikipedia:
Big Brother Revolution logo
As with all Big Brother series, Big Brother Africa: The Revolution will include surprises and unexpected innovations. However there are several main differences in the series. In addition to a completely redesigned eye logo and new host Ikponmwosa “I.K.” Osakioduwa, the prize money on offer has now doubled and is USD 200 000. The house will be renovated and will include almost double the number of cameras and microphones. Further, the search for housemates has been expanded from 12 countries to now include 14 countries. Plus the old rules concerning ‘conspiracy in the house’ have been lifted and housemates can now form alliances and discuss their game strategy openly. Even the voting in the new season is set to undergo a complete transformation. This year, audiences will be asked to vote for the housemates they want to see remain in the series rather than the housemates they want to see leave the series. So it’s all about being positive and keeping the great players in the game.
The 14 participating countries this 2009 are: Angola, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Each country will have their own representative housemate.
There is no shower hour in Big Brother Africa 4.
Big Brother Africa 2009 Housemates
- Zimbabwe: Itai Makumbe – looks like he’d be evicted first
- Uganda: Hannington Kuteesa – he’s got attitude and seems so full of himself
- Kenya: Edward Muthusi aka Teddy – he things he’s a nice guy. We’d see.
- Nigeria: Kevin Chuwang – he sounds confident.
- Botswana: Kaone Ramontshonyana – from the ghetto?
- Ethiopia: Yacob Yehdego – wants to be himself. We’d see.
- South Africa: Quinn Sieber – charming white guy – there’s trouble
- Mozambique: Leonel Estevoa – promising fun.
- Ghana: George Wayoe – he’s got the spirit for the game – or so it seems. Time will tell.
- Uganda: Phil
- Kenya: Jeremy Ndirangu – he’s got the spirit
- Namibia: Edward & Erastus Moongo – identical twins? There’s trouble!
There would be ladies in the house next week…

It rocks ! the project is taking africa by storm!
It surely rocks, I am just hoping this will not be as dirty in the house as some previous seasons I watched.
My reservation about Big Brother Africa has always been its celebration of promiscuity.
another one of the crazy shows we copy blindly. the people that came up with the format are getting tired of it and now we’ll milk it for a while yet.
it was a nice social experiment when people went in without knowing what the public expected of them… now it’s just playing to the cameras and trying to shag/shock your way to instant fame.
hey together lets celebrate Africa, The Revelation
Hey! is it gonna be an all guy house? Ladies where are you??
I am wondering too! I didn’t pay to watch guys only!! :-S Let’s hope they have something good up their sleeves.
yah lets kip it real guys,,,,,,,,and lets celebrate who we are
i kno da only guy aspect simply sucks
I dont get this. 2 housemates from Uganda & Kenya?
What is the role of those actors in d house?
To bring some excitement… hopefully.
sure i agree
Loooving Quinn! Whoa! Hope this BB won’t be Africans putting each other down as we normally do. Its just a game and sometimes we tend to take it too far. Lets keep it clean Y’all!
Big brother 4 will rock!! watch the space……
Is this a gay show?
Am lost what exacty is happening on big brither where are the girls and 2 contentants fro namibia the twins
Uti whre are you?You were fun
Oh my word biggie, where are the ladies?? I must say though,i’m loving the identical twins idea!
it has started at alow note, i didint pay for that
BB plse come out to our expectations?
Yeah right; something’s definetely up the producers’ sleeves; and game begins next week; I wonder: can alchhol be greatly moderated? Too much of it was evident yday; some pple lack a sense of humour and might end up getting physical! Little or better, No alchohol in the hse!
I cannot seem to talk to anybody today, without them straying to talk about BBA, so I get it is all that!
BIGGY WHAT’S GOING ON. MOST OF THE GUY ARE NOT HOT AT ALL. BESIDES WHERE ARE THE LADIES. THE LADIES MAKE THE GAME INTERESTING…
I think we will have lots of fun in this BB especially with the two identical twins.
hoop this time very interesting so how about Tanzania there is no anybody this year becose i so kanumba
looking forward for the new bba revolution
i really think we need babes in the house asap because only babes can run things well in the house and for the guys they are cute i wish them all the best but most especially my naija guy……go BBA you are 2 much.
this BBA will be hot
the guy from Kenya(Jeremy) is hotttttt!!!!!
hey biggie,wats happening,we thought the gals we goin to join the guys,wats going to happen now?
Well, it is not so hard to figure out. 14 countries and only 12 are represented. With 14 contestants. We could see 14 ladies coming into the house. This means, 2 contestants for each country. Unfortunately for Uganda & Kenya, its an all guy thing.
I am tempted to agree with you, Dom.
were is the guy from nigeria.
i did not like teh zimbabwean not goin with his flag. what of national pride?
im going to miss this show mwaka huu!! nimefulia!!!!
ghana all the way
The Ugandan dude withe a loud mouth should b the first one 2 bounce.

Big Brother Africa for me it’s the best time for me to watch it and see how we proud of our continent keep it up Africa!!
Kaone is the man,so Original,well Kevin wasn`t bad but it was too much taken from the novels he read,I`ll give the 1st position to Kaone for being so original.
whats wrong with Itai,i like him and i expected a lot from him,i don`t he is that smart,im beginning to doubt him
i like Wayoe even though i do feel like he is too mature for the show

Hi Biggy,
I felt bad when Edna and Teddy were evicted because there were chance for them to win the Bigbrother Revolution this year 2009.
The task presentation was awesome.
big brother africa this tyme sucks, alot of conspiracy, alliances housemate are apart and we want to see them mingle.
Big brother why all namibians are nominated for evicted. this is not fair.
I Love twins, keept it up.
you will make it.
kevin ,just be ur self,u must be confidence of ur self…..best of luck.
i don’t fink the idea of kelvin revealing who he has replaced is a gud tin.if phill had remain in the house…..it would have been sumtin else 4 sure…….i really fink it’s not ideal
Your rit Michael …. that was dangerous! Fil could have killed some 1!!!!
Hi Biggie my thumbs up for you. I miss big brother 4, But I am now more productive. Salaam from Los Angeles.
Elizabeth my girl you rock go girl! Jeremmy Mhhh…… uuuuuwiii! food for the soul!!!!! Hannington ok lets keep him. He adds spice to BB4

I like those two housemates who share the same bed
they make the house intresting
The ugandan house mate should work upon his hair
I like his ways
Kaone for the money,u r true african kip the wind blowin that way
Elizabeth u rock. i’m sure you will go back to ur country with USD200,000. keep it up
ITAI IS FINISHED SOUL AND BODY
THE SELF POP-UPS ARE SHRINKING WITH THE WEEK.EVICTIONS PENDING
Well BB this show should have been an entertaining one, we dont want to see boring hause mates like Geraldine Elizabeth and the likes continue to occupy the house. We need to be entertained not by people who are just pretending to play cool just watching their fellow housemates. By the way this show should have been adult material and thats why you have been insisting on parental guidance, and the show is rated 18. frankly i have not seeing any adult material to warrant any blockade torwards children or any body under your age limit. Well its questinable if i would be sitting here watch your boring show.
i would like to say that BBA is not all about shower hour, nudity, and so on. The concept behind this year edition has been widely applauded even without adult material. There are lots of reality shows on air in europe, america that are not nudity related but attract lots and lots of viewers still.A show can come in diferent ways. Thunb up Kelvin u r the man,nice job.
i luv u kelvin 4rm nga eloho 4rm delta state
Hey Bigbrother your show this year is the best.In the house i think the most interesting housemates are Quinn and Kelvin.I ma a Cameroonian and i want to know if you don’t do your selection in central Africa or if the are only those in west and south Africa.
Hi for the first time the show z interesting and the most interesting guy z Quin no more show hour.
Big Brother Africa 4 is way too sterile and boring. Another big brother has been overmanipulated and censored. This is not Big Brother concept just some stupid gameshow ruined like recent others. Don’t copy BBUSA it is ruined.
luv the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!love the housemates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hate kristal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yacob, i feel sorry for the guy he must be lonel without his housemates
Pls nkenna stop a gosip and looking for whose head to gam together.
Nkenna go hoooome! we disown you, you’re not from nigeria, probably from Siberia!
i think Nkenna must go! she is to full of herself, as for kevin i love that guy !! pls keep him
nkena should go,is game though,but the game is bigger than her now,go kelvin.
big up to Kelvin and Elizabeth, i like you so much.
Nkena go home your boring the house mate bye
I love Mzamo and Biggie nex time you must select people who arenatural like her not the likes of Kevin
i love kelvin so much, go boy u re a WINNER
big brother your show is very interesting we learn a lot how to live in peace with other and how to behave and be decent.
i vote emma to stay she is well behaved and entertaining, gelradine is statue, she not real
pls dont look for shower hour we all know how to take a bath if you want prono go for a dvd
bigbrother provide more activities for the housemates so that they can prove themselves,let us see who they are.
how did nkemna qualify for bigbrother she is to primitive bad english,bad thinking etccccccccc.
i like mezamo and eddie and emma they are real and natural

EMMA for the moola and ITAI is so out he must leave with his former comrade in arms NKENNA. They are both snakes.
I love watching BBA with all my heart I even watch it here at work via internet so please let EMMA (NINE LIFES) have the cash. People let us vote for EMMA, JEREMY were ever you are make sure that you vote x 10 000 just for EMMA.
emma for the cash, she is example of a decent and real african civilize, she will make a great movie star,
nkemna and etai should go home they are not entertaining us.
I love kevin to bit,I wish him all the luck,someone plz tell Mzamo to wear properly plz she turns me off,she smokes like a man.
