I shared my prize money with other finalists when I won BBAfrica – Uti Nwachukwu
The winner of Big Brother Africa (BBA) season 5, Uti Nwachukwu, has revealed how he shared his $200,000 prize money with other housemates when he emerged winner of the TV reality show in 2010.
Uti said he gave out $5,000 each to three of the five finalists.
He revealed this in his reaction to a post by a Twitter user asking if his prize was shared after he suggested that the prize for the ongoing Big Brother Naija be shared among the five finalists presently left in the house – Mike, Seyi, Omashola, Mercy and Frodd.
Uti had tweeted:
Kai this is so hard. I wish we could share the #Bbnaija prize worth amongst the remaining hmates?
E for sweet my belle
12M to Mercy
12M to Omashola
12M to Frodd
12M to Seyi and off course
12M to Mike.
Then the Ultimate winner will get the car.
