RICHARD BIG BROTHER AFRICA 2

**

It is almost impossible to ignore him- fresh-faced and loquacious.

Was this the cantankerous male that made us cringe in Big Brother Africa 2?

Richard opens up on everything we’ve been dying to know…

Interview with Richard

- O -

Q: Where did all that passion with Tatiana come from?

A: Lets look at the environment - very small, enclosed, cocooned and isolated - where you have to live with guys you know nothing about. At some point you realise you cannot survive with them or even without them ; what you do is find someone to lean on. So, in the house I was either with Tatiana or Code or Ofunneka. The others were playing against me. I think they were intimidated. I saw things differently from a lot of them.

Q: I remember that chat you had about wanting to get close to Tatiana. Was it a strategy that turned to love?

A: There was no strategy and i wasn’t in love! But what we had… whatever you’d like to call - was true. It’s the normal reaction you have when you are “locked up” with opposite sex. I wouldn’t call it love.

Q: What about Tatiana? Do you think she fell in love?

A: Honestly I cant speak for her… it’s difficult to say.

Q: What exactly was going through your mind all the while you were with Tatiana?

A: I knew my wife was watching. I knew I should have stopped but it had gotten to a point where I could not. I was psychologically unfit and weak. You know in the real world things are a lot less concentrated; one can go anywhere - for a movie or something. I could say I am tired at the end of a day and want to spend time with my wife, but there we didn’t have that freedom. One moment you are on the lawn, you think it`s safe, but the person walks in on you or you bump into them in the corridor, so things were very tense.

Q: Who were your favourite housemates?

A: Aside from the obvious, just Code.

Q: I am dying to know what you said to your wife to make her take you back.

A: At the end of the day it came to what we had before BB. I believe that if what we had was shaky or fake we would have moved on. It all came down to that whatever we we have now is because of what we had. Aside from the fact that my wife forgave me, I was willing to go back to my wife. So both of us had it in common because we knew what we had was social. We knew that marriage has its own challenges. We were both willing to give our relationship another try. I went back to her and said: ‘Honey please give me a chance… if you don’t think I am still that guy you knew before BBA, then you have the right to leave me…’

Q: If you had to do it all over again with all that you have been through and learned, would you do it the same way?

A: I regret what l did. If l had another chance, I would do things differently. I would take charge of my emotions if given the opportunity again…

Interview with Ricki

- O -

Q: This is an open book: You saw all that Richard did - are you not bothered that those scenes may play out again in your marriage?

A: One of my weaknesses is actually trusting people, probably too quickly. But, I do know that the Richard I knew before BBA2 was an extremely committed husband and I never had any worries about him cheating on me. He was never the type who will go out to clubs, go drinking,or go partying. He was more interested in staying home and watching movies with me and if he had to to go out with his friends, he’d ask me to come along. He was such a committed guy. This was why all that happened in BB was such a blow to me, because I was so trusting and didn’t expect that to happen. But I realized that it was all under a very odd situation, not what we are normally used to. It was not like our marriage was weak and he went out in search of another woman - it was just an odd situation which is over now and the Richard l see now is even more committed than before.

Disaster strikes Indonesian town ...

Sidoarjo

I have travelled inland towards the mountainous area to a town called Malang ... but sadly had to pass the town ... Sidoarjo which has been covered by mud because of a continual eruption of gas and mud. Here is the link for further reading ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidoarjo_mud_flow

Here I stand with the driver that took me to Malang ... infront of an area where just the very tops of houses roofs can be seen ... a tragedy for certain & it makes one constantly thank one's lucky stars for everything that we have.

The people in this town have lost their homes and work !!!

4ever at Surabaya Zoo - Indonesia

My outing to ... Surabaya Zoo

I had a fairly enjoyable trip to the Surabaya Zoo ... it is very tropical and humid there .. but I enjoyed the morning. The zoo is not as clean as our zoos in Johannesburg and Pretoria where the animals have very large areas to roam ... but the animals at Surabaya are in a

fairly good condition.

This is Surabaya's signature emblem ... the shark & the crocodile.

Inside this souvenier shop sits a gentleman who after taking your photo ... puts it onto a PC where he adds more animals seen at the zoo and labels the photo. On my photo ... I am sitting on a Tiger with a Macaw perched on my hand ... cool !!!!

These little school children had a day out at the zoo & got to ride on the elephant.

Disembarking from the elephant.

Rides were not only for children ... adults enjoyed it just as much !!

Tropical plants around a very large pond where Pelicans roost. One can be seen very faintly in the centre of this pic.

Richiki's Valentines Day

Richard & Ricki

spent

**
VALENTINES DAY

**
at Bagamoyo

Bagamoyo is in Tanzania on the Indian Ocean, just opposite Zanzibar.
It is 70 kms from Dar es Salaam.

The Cross at Msalabani

The history of the Catholic Church on the East African mainland began here in 1868. The Cross was erected in 1993 to commemorate the arrival of the Catholic faith from Zanzibar.

On the Cross is written

" Mungu aneemeeshe Afrika"

**

God bless Africa

The words that begin the Tanzanian National Anthem

4ever in Indonesia -

The sights smells & tastes of Indonesia !!!

So today was my 1st day at work in Sarabaya - Indonesia ... but after a day's work in a foreign country the 1st thing I usually do is kick off the high heels and hang up the business suit and change into walking shoes and casual clothes.

I am then ready to walk and see as many sights as possible !!!

Today I decided to capture the pictures of the local food vendors & the chaps who have tricycles to transport people around the city. Many I found dozing in their buggies with seemingly no worries in the world.

They are quite clearly not very well off and infact many of the people here seem to live in poverty.

As I sit here typing in my hotel room ... I hear a pianist playing beautiful light classics down in the foyer .... what inequality it seems that I sit in such luxury and many have so little!!!

It must be said that never a day goes by that I do not thank the Lord that I am so blessed !!

So for dessert today ... I was served the most exotic fruits. Below is a picture. It looks like a pommagranite ... but once opened ... the fruit inside looks like a clove of garlic but it has the texture of a leechie. The taste is wonderfully sweet with a slight tart taste to it.

DEVINE !!!

It is called a ... Mangoesteen.

I quickly popped down to take a pic of the pianist in the hotel foyer .... the sound of her pretty notes tinkle so supurbly in the background.

I am on the 5th floor of my hotel and my room looks down onto a centre quad which has a coffee bar on the groud floor

So this is one of HUNDREDS of these little kiosks alongside the streets.

This fellow was transporting goods as opposed to passangers on his bike & buggy

This chappie was dozing away with no prolems in the world it seemed !!!!

Another cyclist sleeping ... and this was at 5pm !!!

A food vendor cooking alongside the road. The smells walking down the street are so varied and very differant !!!!

As I said there are hundeds of these food vendors alongsidethe streets.

In the Chat Room with the Funkmaster -

Monday Night’s funky chat with the Funkmaster Himself !!

This is an edited transcript of last nights chat in Richard’s Chat Room. The whole chat would take up page upon page … so only the meatier answers that Richard answered have been added ... as opposed to all the friendly greetings he gave to everybody who popped in on Monday night.

My apologies to those great peeps who were in the chat room during the evening, and who’s names have not been mentioned here. Richard certainly appreciated every person who took the time to chat with him!!The vibe was funky & friendly like usual … and I think quite a few pertinent questions were asked and answered.

ENJOY

[dolphin] Richard You are funny
[R2D2] Richard: A personal question, how does Ricki feel with that role of a playa?
[dingiling] , R2D2 I can answer that one for Richboy here, Ricki is confidence in her marriage, she's not intimidated with all the pretty hot and tempting women in nollywood, right richard?lol
[Richard] R2D2, she's cool with it, only hoping that the young fan base can enjoy the movie too, but its just a movie
[dingiling] I hear you going to be playing a playa role? Or you just going to be
playing yourself?
[Richard] Dingiling, I am quite serious in life you know, its a little known fact:}
[dolphin] Richard That true. I saw it in the house. You know what you want in life
[Richard] Thanks Dolphin, I'm glad you saw that
[R2D2] Richard: when are u meant to start? Its a hard task tho.....
[Richard] R2D2, last week of feb, maybe as soon as next weekend

User pambaboy has entered this room.
User Pussycat has entered this room.
[Richard] Hi Pussycat and pambaboy, welcome
[dingiling] dawg you know I had to ask but so you mean to tell me that you were playing a role in the bba house too?
[Richard] dingiling, we have been over this before guys, you all watched the show and it was not role playing
[dingiling] Yo I read somewhere that you said you were playing a role in the house thats why I asked dawg, no pun intended
[Richard] dingiling, I never said that although others tried to accuse me, I said "We all had a role to play" meaning we were each individuals with our own qualities to bring to the house, not role as in acting, sorry if anyone didn't catch that
[dingiling] Richard, thanks for the clarification
[Lindy] dingiling I think he has always been honest and just himself
[pambaboy] hey richard what did u mean by "messed up manufactured reality"
[Richard] Pambaboy, are you sure you watched BBA, would say the house is normal life?
[pambaboy] I dedicated more that 15 hrs everyday, i even could not do exams due to poor attendance
Richard] Pambaboy, sorry about that man!
[pambaboy] i understand it wasnt, but u had a choice bro. whats pissin ppl off especially ur fans is the fact that u r not taking responsibilities for ur actions blaming on the environment
[Richard] pamba, I have taken total responsibility for my actions, how else do you think my wife would have forgivin me? but others have no right to judge housemates, until you are there, you really have no idea. Sometimes you feel like you really dont have control
[R2D2] Richard another quick and simple question: About Tatiana calling you names on Oboma, were you told or you read it yourself?
[Richard] R2D2, no comment, if I talk about her I will get in shit no matter what I say!!!!!
[R2D2] brilliant boy @Richard
[Lindy] R2D2 Richard Love your comment re- Tati!
[dingiling] Whether Richard you were told that tatiana called you names or not, it still doesn't make it right for you to ignore her like that in naija, you my dawg but that happenings i heard about naija was f up.
[Richard] dingiling, dont always believe what you hear and also, it has come to a point where I decide what is right for me rather than satisfying people, no matter what I do some will be dissapointed. I have my reasons for not seeing her and they are mine alone
[dingiling] Tati held you down in the house whether you will acknowledge that or not. But you still my dawg
[dingiling] Richard, I feel you on that one. You please yourself and yourself only
[Richard] dingiling, thanks
[pambaboy] But dawg when u were in the house you had no problem confronting people, why not confront her and handle things maturely and make peace with her.
[Richard] Pambaboy, I have handled things my way in private, her and I have dealt with things, and if its not mature I don't know what is, people are upset because they dont know all that has happened behind closed doors.
[dingiling] Richard dont mind anybody, we all know that Tatiana is a strong beautiful
classy lady and has moved on with her life and so have you and thats the end of the case, case close
[Richard] Dingiling, exactly!
[Pussycat] Dingling i think its too much of tatiana this tatiana that..people need to move on sometimes you know....
[dingiling] Pussycat, I agree with, we all liked them both in the house, it didn't work out, big deal. Everybody has moved on, don't know why people are still making stories up for them to hate each other
[Richard] Pussycat, actually I think all of the other housemates deserve more fame, we don't hear about some anymore.
[bev] there should always just be this good vibe .... we should make it our mission to be positive !!!!
[Richard] dingiling, it's true, the richie vs tati fans have the hate for each other when all both of us want is for things to be cool. they are making things worse.
make love not war people!
[Pussycat] Richard true that but evryon has fame ont heir own way!...you need to create your own fame but if them other house mate don't make it happen then it's up to them..fame don't come easily if you don't work your ass off...period
[dingiling] Speaking of the other housemates, Richard have you heard anything about the others lately or spoken to any of them?
[Richard] Pussycat, its true it is all about hard work, I don't mean to make enemies along the way but if I had to please everyone I would be burnt out
[R2D2] LOL, i like that Richard...Make love and not war
[Pussycat] Dingling..yeah i know people like rich and Ttai ont he show but at the end of the end you got do what you got do...
[dolphin] Richard We are also happy with you
[dingiling] I got to get you for this one Richard, make love not war??lol lol, dawg you are a trip. What about, I will take a bullet for you. And my all time favourite, I miss you like the desert misses the rain,lol
[Richard] dingiling, I would take a bullet for you any time lol
[Pussycat] Richard..i know tis hard to please everyone but i will tell you what..your hard work that is what will pelase people..and don't ever try to make enemies my brother that will eat you alive...i have learned a lot when it comes to business and fame..
[Richard] Thanks Pussycat, I will work hard no doubt
[Lindy] Richard how is rikki doing? Send her some love too
[Richard] Lindi, Ricki is fine, having a glass of wine and watching a movie
[Lindy] Richard Ohh sweet !!!!
[dingiling] So Richard is Ricki back at work? Or y'all are still living it up on the 100k
[Richard] dingiling, she is doing consulting work, going into work to talk to them this week
[dingiling] He called Oboma folks rude and crude this morning, so they are venting out on him. Richard, yo i'd advise you not to go to oboma for a while, they will literally destroy you dawg:} lol, they are relentless
[Richard] Dingiling, no i didn't but there are some rude people on there and I asked them not to come here, I agree with you though, they are relentless
[bev] excellent Richi !!!!
[dingiling] But Richard you know what, sometimes you gotta laugh at the people on Obomo, their cruelty is all love. They just want the best for you and they think they know they best for you but you can also blame them for thinking that
[Richard] Dingiling, cruelty and love do NOT go hand in hand, ever, like if a man hits a woman he says its becuase he loves her but its not true
[dolphin] Richard well said. and Crude and Nasty. It is not love.
[BushBaby] Richard very well said
[Richard] dingiling, I am always torn between freedom of speech and damn plain mean useless comments
[dingiling] Richard, true that, you make a good point but hey thats how I see it because take Chipmunk for instance she claims to be the biggest fan but always flip flopping and she throws the lowest jabs at your wife. Yo that person behind the name is crazy
[bev] freedom of speach is great ... just keep it civil I feel
[dingiling] Richard dawg, can you handle it, I mean can you handle everything that has been thrown at you lately and the more to come?
[Richard] dingling, after what I have been through, criticism is no big deal!:}
[bev] richard is there anything you would like us to know specifically
[Richard] bev, no nothing special:} just a big hi, I am grateful for support from all fans
[bev] I am sure you are grateful Richard .... ur a great guy for certain !!! just down right down to earth and genuine!!!
[Richard] Thanks bev
