What’s Up Africa: A Glimpse of the man behind the Vlog
People who are die-hard YouTube fans have come across the ridiculously hilarious vlogs titled ‘What’s Up Africa’ or WUA# by Ikenna Azuike. The vlogs take a hit on the current happenings in Africa and give them a funny twist. That combined with the silly/funny personality of Ikenna is bound to make this a channel to easily subscribe to, to get more. This made me curious as to the man behind them, to learn more about him and what inspired the show. Luckily he turned out a good support and was excited to give Jamati an insight behind the man and the vlog.

Jossy out in Big Brother Africa Amplified
Well, the musical relationships have started. Ernest and Bhoke had a good thing going (or at least that is what he thought) but she made it clear (after throwing herself at him shamelessly, previously) that she was a little concerned about perceptions and wanted to know where he stood and how he felt about her.
