FOR THOSE WHO MISSED IT: SULU’S EXIT INTERVIEW (Part 1) Q: How do you feel about Bimp after finding out that he saved Cleo and put you up for Eviction? SULU: At first, the first the day I senced that , you know he’s always good with me so when one day I greeted him and he never answered, I picked it from there and went like “Oh I think he’s exchanged me for somebody else” but I didn’t know it was Cleo but ya you know as a normal person I cannot celebrate “ oh Bimp has sent me home” I’m not happy about it but I’ve got to deal with it but what happened is that I started dealing with it in the house. I started preparing because I’m a very emoziona person when I’m hurt, you’ll see it. I think most of the people saw it in the house when I’m not happy, I’d just tell you “ Hey this is bullshit” but I think I was smart enough to start dealing with it slowly, slowly slowly, at first I didn’t talk to him, I was like (with his funny hand gestures), you know but after sometime he made an effort that’s one thing I appreciated most, he made an effort trying to talk to me, then I opened up because I easily open up to people so then we started , kept it going, kept it going so even on the last day of eviction I was even drinking coffee knowing that I’m not going home but I was ready that if I go home, I don’t wanna people to cry, I want that crap but I know, you know when people love you like Angelo, oh my Angelo, I could see tears in his eyes I said “No it’s fine” then I left. Q: What lesson did you learn from BBA & how will your time in the House affect your life, both negatively and positively? SULU: You know, I’ll be a very very bare person, Big Brother house I think, I wish you knew it, it’s a house where you’re made to be equal. You know we come out of our homes , some with Ipads, some with Range Rovers and when you go there they confiscate everything, books, whatever only the Bible is allowed there so I think I discovered more of myself, not necessarily discovered, somehow I knew my weaknesses but it is this ego thing that “ahh I can get away with it”. Now immagine you’re before Africa exposed, your weakenesses exposed, I think that impact of feeling guilty made me realise that I need to deal with myself, So I think the stubbornness and the diplomacy, you know the African man has to be diplomatic especially towards women. Somehow I’ll improve on that to be gentle, although I’m romantic but sometimes I can be forceful so I think there’s a lot I’ve learnt, I mean, I’ve discovered myself in terms of my intelligency, my wisdom and lack of this and that, there’s a lot, a lot and I hope I’ll be a very much better person, thank God I’m not even married so that is preparing me for marriage (funny face with movement of hands and a big smile) Q: What were your best moments in the house? SULU: My lord, my Lord (takes a deep sigh), for me each and everyday was one of the best moments, well, when Biggie was playing Zambian music, there’re certain songs like ‘Good woman’, think you’ve heard it, good woman and that other song I’ve forgotten it, but my best moments were one, you know I love romance when I kissed Selly, you know that was the best(he laughs loud), the other moments were like Arenas, the parties and the laughs with Angelo, with Bassey, we could laugh all the way falling on the ground, laughing and just teasing each other especially the teasing, when I tease Angelo, you know when I teased Bassey those were my best friends, you know they could feel shy and could be hurt and I liked it, they could tease me too (laughing) so I had a lot and the Arenas, when we won most of the wagers, you know I had a lot of good moments, I can’t regret and that experience of Big Brother, I think it’s something, I’ll try to (face expression with hand gestures towards his chest), you know what I’ll try to do, I’ll continue to enjoy the experience continuosly but sharing it with people because it was nice! SULU’S EXIT EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW (Part 2) Q: Sulu, why were you so sure that you are Africa’s Top 5? Who did you think would be in that Top 5? SULU: Um first of all, it was the housemates that gave the confidence not myself. Me myself sometimes I could doubt myself that “hmm I’m talking too much” you know when you’re observing yourself thinking all of the people around you but looking at how they were nominating, I expected that they were nominating me, ya of course they were nominating me but it could not reach to a level whereby a large number hits you. So it developed from that thinking that “ oh my fellow (we were a lot), that my fellow housemates appreciate my presence in this place” of course if these people in the house appreciate my presence , obvious my mother appreciates me, my community appreciates me, obvious Zambia appreciates me and to a large extent possibly Africa appreciates me, so it’s that which gave me the confidence and when Biggie asked me I just mentioned 4 names because it was randomly like “who do you see …” then you start talking but at this point um I saw myself yes quite alright, I saw Melvin, I saw O’neal though along the way I could see him falling out but he was on the list, then there was Cleo of course my sister then the last one I’ve come up close with is Angelo. Q: Why did you betray Angelo? Where you able to restore your friendship? SULU: What happened between me and Angelo, it was a situation where I looked at it as I had 3 people that were my friends and before Angelo came remember O’neal was my close friend and then Feza came. Feza could have been the victim but I didn’t, I mean I don’t know how I connected with her then she saved you know. She was supposed to save Bolt because you remember she was with Bolt for a very long time. So after her saving me, I was just like touched. Then it came to Angelo and I said to myself like “oh sh*t”. I wanted to replace myself but I didn’t know how much Africa could see me because I’m not a West African anyway (smiling) because they’re known to be a stronghold in this game. So I was like “If I put myself won’t I look stupid before my country to say how can you do such a stupid thing?” So I had to sacrifice one of them not based on differences , I never differed with Angelo, I love Angelo to death (hitting his chest and smiling) but when I did that Angelo my friend is emozional! He’s a guy that when he’s not happy, you’ll see it. He’s just like me to certain extent but I’m a little bit better in terms of trying to pretend like trying to manage emotions, you know what I’m saying. Him, he just espresses it , he was hurt! He came to me and said "you betrayed me". Eish I was touched, I thought “I wish there was any other way I could have used to sort things out” but what I did is I never pushed him towards me and he never pushed himself towards me. Along the way you know Birds of the same…how do you say it “ Birds of the same feather flock together” something like that! Naturally, we never talked about it, naturally he started opening up , we started getting along and for me he was always welcome because I was the guilty man, so eventually all went well, even when I was leaving , he cried you under stand, so you can’t say he hated me you understand…My decision was viewed outside Africa as Betrayal but for me I don’t look at it as betrayal, I look at it as Big Brother forcing us to make a decision whether you like it or not. Q: What advise would you give anybody who wants to enter Big Brother Africa next season? SULU: People who wants to go into the Big Brother house, looking at how I’ve archieved myself, I think the most important quality without running away from it is ‘yes’ you have to be yourself but if yourself is not good enough that’s where now you have to also bring in other issues. #Remember Voting is Already in progress Team...BE RELENTLESS. #ViaWEB bigbrotherafrica website/vote. #ViaSMS: SMS "VOTE ONEAL" to the short code 414 (All Networks) #NoShaking
