Michelle’s Business Administration degree from Nnamdi Azikiwe University couldn’t save her during the Bank PHB’s “money maker” task. She must have been truly disappointed, as a banker, that the girls’ team lost under her leadership in a banking related task.

The Matrix Corp team seems to be sinking fast after losing twice in role, perhaps due to lack of teamwork, and abundant bickering and bitching. The team failed to impress their clients, executives of Bank PHB, with a creative and viable financial product during the task. The executives of the bank felt that the girls lacked a clear-cut vision, and the product they created had too many benefits that could end up confusing the market. The guys won the task because they were able to create a new and viable product with a clear-cut benefit for customers.

When Michelle had to choose two other candidates for possible elimination in the boardroom, she picked Nancy and Blessing to face the firing squared for the second time in a row. Biodun Shobanjo told Nancy and Blessing that he wasn’t happy seeing them for the second time and implied that this should tell the two of them something about themselves. Blessing again attributed the loss to bad leadership and her insistence forced the CEO to say “You have been blaming your project managers all this time. I would like to see you play the leadership role next time….that is if you are still here”.

Michelle is the first project manager to be fired in Apprentice Africa. After her eviction she sulked over what she considered an act of betrayal on the part of her teammates in the boardroom, when they blamed their failure on her ‘ineffective leadership’.

“I love challenges, and if I was given the opportunity to return to The Apprentice Africa, I will do it again, but this time I won’t play it safe”, she says.
