HOW UTI SPENT HIS BBA N30 MILLION PRIZE

Former BBA star and Nollywood actor, Uti Nwachukwu, says he does not pray for his level to reduce but rather he should continue to soar high after winning the N30 million cash price from the competition.

The actor explained that he has been able to stay relevant because he has been hard working and not like other people who will get some certain amount of money and then spend it unwisely.

Uti explained that he cannot allow the thirty million naira to get into his head rather it will be better he invest it well so it can give him an amount like N300 million to fall back on.

“I have always been a hard worker. I have not stopped working. It is not like I will just sit around and be lazy all day because my account is fat. I have been working and I am not even thinking of the millions (I got from the BBA) right now. I mean, it’s just N30 million – not like it’s N300 million.

So, I am thinking of constantly working hard to make sure I can turn the N30 million to N300 million within a short period of time,” he told Thisday newspaper.

He noted that he has spent part of the money into some business ventures which have been yielding returns gradually and would continue to work like a mad man.

“I have one or two things I’m doing with the money presently – small investments here and there – which I’d rather not disclose now. But trust me, I’m not one of those people that got the money and squandered it. It made me work harder because the responsibilities increased, and you don’t want to lose that. That’s why I work like a mad man,” he noted.

“I’m born again but it is not easy to abstain from sex before marriage - Uti Nwachukwu

 Big Brother Africa All stars winner, Uti Nwachukwu wish he could stay off sex till he finds the right woman to settle down with, but he is afraid, the task is too much for him to carry. 

While speaking with a vanguard reporter, Uti says he gave his life to Christ in 2006, but admits he is still an imperfect person, despite being born again.

“Of course, I am born again, I found Christ in 2006, I have always believed in Christ. But I must tell you I am not still perfect, he told the reporter. “Being born again, means accepting Christ as your Lord and personal saviour. He didn’t come to the world for the righteous, Christ came for the imperfect ones like me and you. I genuinely want to change, Christ is right there soliciting and interceding for me, because he is the way, the truth and the life. People fail to see that it is we, the imperfect, that Christ came for. I am extremely imperfect. I am not the stereotypical type of born again, I am the type that is aware of the love and grace” he explained.

When asked what he meant by being imperfect, he said; 

“Personally, I would not want to have sex before marriage but sometimes you fall and when you fall, you repent and beg God for forgiveness; it’s not easy."
