ReplyDeleteOK, cool
ReplyDeleteVimbai keeps sneaking up to grab these opportunities....Kudos. You are good at what you do...I must admit oh so painfully.LOL
ReplyDeleteI can never forget how you made Karen feel in BBA,you so treated her like trash...and got the shock of your life when she won!!
She sure did. Painfully so.
DeleteHer intelligence got a better part of her in BBA. Truth is Vimbai doesn't have a good heart. Recall her first comment(sarcastic remark) after she won the quiz on putting down Currency against Country in the House. She got 72 (her Dad is a Diplomat, and she grew up in Belgrade, so sure knows alot)countries right and Karen got 9 only. It was a heart wrenching comment.
Forget the fits of laughter she releases during her feature presentation on StarGist. Many still don't like her. Hope they get to watch sha.
You remember that challenge vividly@Xp
DeleteVery vindictive someborri.
Intelligent she is,but menn....can deal!
Howdy darlyn?
Lolzzz@your shwin shwin comment...
XP u just nailed it! She got a dark heart.
DeleteBitchy heart. It must be her or no one else. Tortured our Karen so. Buh thankfully that same girl won! N she Vim whatever is in Karen's country making a living. She never left our Naija. D same Naija she looked down upon.
Nonsense girl.

I like Vimbai. Fine babe.
ReplyDeleteChy....isi gini?
Delete@Ada....define "fine". Cos the Vimbai I know is far from it.
DeleteDon't know why Ebonylife is making her do the announcement. I've hated her right from the days of Big brother. She's such a tribalistic she-goat. Why not Zainab, Eku or even Osas?!
DeleteAnony.u got it.soo full of herself. Hated Our Karen so much.
Delete@ Chy,which fine.or u meant something else.
Vimbai, the talkative with her fake laughter.
ReplyDeleteGood for her.
