From Big Brother Africa to the Altar? BBA Revolution Housemates Kevin Chuwang Pam & Elizabeth Gupta reportedly engaged
Posted on Tuesday, August 24th, 2010 at 10:28 PMBy BellaNaija.com
Big Brother Africa has provided great voyeuristic entertainment over the last few years but has the show created a perfect love match?
A few weeks ago we spotted a photo of Big Brother Africa Revolution winner – Kevin Chuwang Pam with fellow BBA Revolution housemate Tanzanian TV Presenter/Actress Elizabeth “Lizzy” Gupta at a party in Abuja. Then last week, Kevin released the first set of singles from his new album and alas one of the tracks is a Swahili track called “Una Pata Mambo“ and it features Lizzy and Stitched. At that point, we knew something was definitely up!
Earlier today, this posting popped up on a Big Brother Africa forum accompanied by a photo of Kevin and Lizzy kissing.
Breaking News! Last Saturday (21 Aug) while at the Ogus Baba Laugh Goes On comedy club in Port Harcourt, Big Brother Revolution winner, Kevin Chuwang Pam and his lady friend, and Revolution contestant Elizabeth Gupta got up on stage and performed a track together.
Nigeria’s biggest comedian, Ali Baba introduced the couple to the 2000 strong crowd. Once they’d finished performing “Una Pata Mambo” (Anything you want, right there you get it), Kevin went down on one knee and proposed to Elizabeth. He said he kept it simple and just asked: “Elizabeth, will you marry me?”.
The crowd started screaming: “say yes, say yes, say yes” and obviously she did. Kevin then says a woman broke free from the crowd, ran onto the stage and congratulated them both with a huge hug.
This was followed by congratulatory Facebook status messages from fellow Big Brother Revolution Africa stars including Geraldine. BN followed up with calls to sources close to the couple and they confirmed the engagement though we are working on getting absolute confirmation from the couple.
Ken & Lizzy spotted in Abuja a few weeks ago
The news might come as a surprise to some BBA fans though! During the show last year, Kevin was obviously crushing on Elizabeth and she was blowing “hot and cold”, she made it clear that she liked him but couldn’t see them having a relationship. She also shared that she had “never dated a black guy” and also said “Kevin was too short for her”!
It is great to see them get together and let’s not chastise Lizzy for her previous comments. If only things we said about people who turned out to be future girlfriends/boyfriends/husbands/wives were caught on tape! We would all be so guilty.
Congrats to Kevin and Elizabeth. The past 12 months have been amazing for Kevin, first he became the first Nigerian to win Big Brother Africa and picked up a $200,000 cheque for his efforts and now he is reportedly engaged to the love of his life. Up next for Kevin is the release of his debut album, his singles “Wok Pichak” featuring Stitched, “Una Pata Mambo” featuring Stitched and Lizzy, “Thank You” and “Dance Hall Nice” are already getting airplay on the radio. Elizabeth is also working on her music and acting career, she featured in a Tanzanian movie entitled “Danger Zone” earlier in the year.
BN will update you once we get confirmation from Kevin or Lizzy on the engagement.

she had never dated a black guy, that had me laughing hard and i dunno y! congrats, i guess its true- once u go black, u never go back!
Really happy for them… First Big Brother Africa Couple…
This nigga is blind and totally dumb, c’mon don’t you have fam, this babe even said it in the house with all your affections and love that you are not her kind of man, she likes her man tall. She went on to gossip bout you and it was obvious she only used you as a strategy but pple kicked her out b4 she becomes an obstacle.
Now you dissapoint your fans because of those 2 full oranges on her chest (Yes she has fine boobs, no homo). She only loves your ‘now’ fat pocket.
dont hate please leave these young people alone they have both made their decision depending on what they believe from their hearts
Hey cassie n d rest,u guys shld cut dem sme slack. Dey r d ones in it, we re jst spectators. So if dey say de re hapi togeda,it stays dat way. The least we can do is show dem our love n support n nt diss dem.
The only question i wanna ask LIZ is ‘What has changed so?
I think the answer is obvious, mmmm women and benjamins
Na money jorrrr! Anyways , make una enjoy oh!
Hmmmmmmm! Its all about d benjamins baby, so lizzy claimed kevin was to short, so can she boldly say dat he has increased in heigjt between now and den or has he started putting on heels lol! 200,000 dollars is no joke, girls will be girls
Kevin, in as much as am happy for you, couldn’t you have chosen any of our Naija sisters? Haba!!! Anyway, I pray your marriage stands the test of time… Good luck with this babes who blows hot and cold….
Wow,wot can I say liz d gold digger.but they sure make a quiet couple.just wondering what hapeened to I can’t date a black well,well its only those with cash lizz diggs.
hello all, pls leave them alone. kevin loves the babe. the babe behaved well.if she had messed up herself in the bba house, you all wld have complained
she behaved like a true lady and got herself a husband that loves her
the babe loved kevin all the while in bba house but was not sure the guy was real following her previous experience. Her last day in the house, she was all over him with her eyes knowing fully well that she might not have the chance to see him again. she spent her entire day with kevin on the same small one seater upholstery
they even went to have their bath together. i knew all the while that they were in love but had to wait and get out to see where and how far it goes
Love you Kevin and Elizabeth, congratulations on your engagement.
Well, I guess with money in your pocket, you can be tall and white in the lady’s eye. Kelvin, humble guy too. Most guys are not the same when they hammer. I’m surprised, I didn’t expect his eye to even recognize her again.
lwkmd…. Your first line is a cracker!!
Kevin is sure blessed! First, he won the star prize; second, he got the woman of his dreams… it can only get bera…
Congrats KELIZ!!
Na wao……………………………
Girls will always be girls, i predicted when kevin won and it happened. Haba no be woman again, that money they must to spend it together.
Jezz, na wa. Lol @ blowing hot and cold. That one na serious temperature change o
Guess pople do change and love works in a different way whether money or no money!how much is 200,000 dollars !surely he go finish oneday if kevin didn’t or does not put it into good use!so i believe people should be happy for them and pray their mariage is forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope they get married and live happy…..to be engaged is different from being married.
to be married too is another phase of life,will the marriage stand the test of time,being married is not the end of the road remember.
@NcyLuv: WORD!!!
Come on guys that was past….. Hey she did all that back then to protect herself u kno BBA is all public no privacy, and ofcoz she had wait for a right time. The thing is when Boys are persistence we need lie!! my bad i said out the secrete.
All the best to the Couple, Peace and Love
Good news men the girl proves herself as saint and Kelvin acted as mugu that was why the relationship works out.Forget about what she said,na today we de hear such from women,that one na small.the most important thing is for her to be a good wife.

9ja + tanzanian=fire,so brave gal,all the best
Congratulations kevin may God bless ur relationship KELIZ 4 LIFE
ALL THIS TALK ABOUT ITS MONEY….PLEASE HE JUST WON $200,000.
NOT THAT MUCH OF MONEY BY THE TIME….
SO MAYBE ITS NOT THE MONEY, MAYB JUST MAYBE ITS LOVE…
WHO CARES, BE HAPPY FOR THEM
am happy that kevin dream come true
congrats to you keliz i wish you the best.
Thing is even though money can’t buy love, it sure puts u in a great bargaining position. Dat’s wat has played out here. She may not have accepted his proposal solely 4 d cash but d money did improve his chances. And 2 kevin, whoever says money can’t buy happiness or love indeed doesn’t know where 2 shop. Naija pikin has proven it once again…..Gbagaun!!!!!!!!!!!
@Tbag – so true!
Obviously she was waiting to see if kevin would win the money before she rolls with him. For the most part, she treated him like a pest in the house. All of a sudden, he is no longer black or short. Whatever happened to the Oyinbo guy she claimed to be dating while she was in the house, he did not have $200,000?
Luv u Keliz, u make me so happy. I was waiting to hear something like that. Congratulation and may God bless u.
am happy for you Keliz lets not hate on Elizabth. was wondering what was up with you guys. pls invite me to your wedding.Thumbs up May God bless you.
let by gone be by gone..Kevin & Liz keep ur heads up and focus on ur lives
Congratulations to Kelvin $ Liz! This is the best thing that has ever happened to the Big brother experience.
wow!! congratulations to Liz and kelvin .And wishing u both God’s blessings.Haters go get urs and stop judging!!
kevin & liz iam happy to here that wishes you guy the the best may god almighty bless you all from nigeria to tanzania
let 4get all she said we re all guilty like bella said(If only things we said about people who turned out to be future girlfriends/boyfriends/husbands/wives were caught on tape! We would all be so guilty).
all d best bro,when is d wedding?dt is d koko cos engagement is diff from wedding ooooooooooooooo.
Is Liz white? A little puzzled
OMG..This is actuall True ope it works Fyn…
woooow dats realy breaking news………. happy 4 them, KELIZ
i am so happy for the both of them….i have always wished for them to hook up and it has finally happened, may God bless their union.
KEVIN BE CAREFUL. I WISH U D BEST BUT PLS STUDY THIS TANZANIA GIRL VERY WELL. MARRIAGE IS A LIFE TIME DECISION.
I HOPE AND PRAY HE HAS TAKEN THE RIGHT DECISION.NAIJA LADIES ARE THE BEST COMPARED TO THEIR AFRICAN COUNTERPARTS.
ASK DANIEL OMOKACHI,OLESEH, AND SO MANY WHOSE MARRIAGES TO LADIES ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT FLOPED WHEN THE GOING WENT BAD. 200,000k WOULD NEVER SUSTAIN A MARRIEGE FOR EVER.
KEVIN THINK TWICE WHEN THE CHANCE IS TILL NOW
Please Naija ladies, don’t criticize other African ladies that they are not worth it! Come visit the Nigerian men here in Tz, you’ll see them drooling over our very dainty female bodies and beautiful faces. It’s a shame they are already married and have children, otherwise they would bring more Tz ladies as wives into Naija. Heheheeee.
what do u guys mean by “girls will be girls” how much is $200,000 in naira? don’t u think that Kevin must have spent half of that money in one year if not all of it?…..when a woman marries a man who is well to do, people will say she married him for his money….are u guys trying to say that girls don’t fall in love with guys who are well to do.
Bless you!
Just be happy for them and stop criticizing….they love each other and that’s what matters.
May God bles u 2
I see the dollar signs in her eyes. Thought she wasn’t into ‘Black and Short Guys’. Hmmmmm
its so convenient to fall in love where there is money. guess its her strategy. i hope they last and make a headway. who even likes tanzanians? pls liz should not flatter herself. mscheuwwww…. rubbish. the short guy has become somebody and apparently in liz’s mind she will be saying “i dont mind his height after all” lol
Live is all about being happy,u’ve made ur choice. Happy married life
KeLiz…I wish u guyz d best!!! i hope it will last #justsaying…
Liz did this becos of money! i watched the whole BBA 4 and she said alot of thing…………like ” I ct go out wit u cos i hv a guy tat cares about me and i cant marry a short man like u Kevin” so what happened now? Money Money Money…….anyway congratulate to them oooh.
its the way he proposed im sooooo silly tripped about.
I’m so happy 4 u guys.Lizzy,please dont let Kevin down.Try as much as possible to proof some people wrong that u truely love Kevin.God will bless ur union
hehehee,leave them,i give these pple 5years maximum,inshort which one is 5yrs,3yrs,let’s see if elizabeth will still love kevin,$200,000 is a cool 30million naira,she dey crase,opportu ity cums but once,white men neva finish for d world.
‘those 2 full oranges on her chest’ !!!! LMAO …..walahi, i love reading the comments on bellanaija…even more than the articles…
these comments are cracking me up!!!
nigerians no go kill me with lafta! chei! lwkm!
seriously, i understand where you guys are coming from. she really treated Kevin like a pest in the house, at a point the thing was vexing me sef. but maybe she was protecting herself even though the comments she made were not nice.
i wish them all the best sha. Kevin is a good guy and i hope for her its not about the benjamins…
ha so with $200,ooo he nw luks a little bit whiter and much taller;o boy enjoy tanzanian booty jo
What if she won the money? What if kevin did not win, will dis be? Am sorry but I think dis is just a charade to me
Kelvin, am happy for thee
omg! I am so happy for both of u… hopefully u guys will make it to the altar….KELIZ
mwuah! xoxox
Thats life Cassie,I remember telling my now future fiance that I can never date a Man like him.Today I am planning my wedding to the Best thing that has ever happened to me.God knows us best.We should all know never 2 take words 2 seriously.Big up yourself Kevin and Elizabeth.Knew there was something there from the get go.
I knew dey were in luv…liz was jst tryin not to get used in d house…u culd c d luv in her eyes…am so happy 4 dem rite now..with or without d moni tink dey wuld av still gotten ere…wateva wil b wil b..*wink*
They are ordained to be together, cant u see that. First, they got attracted 2 each other. second, they played d role together in MJ’s Thriller professing their love. third, coincidentally, they became comrade in arms. God is really at work here. Wish u a 1daful married life.
The ring Kevin gave 2 Eliz wen he engaged her in MJ’s Thriller Video task presentation has just come to pass. Luv this union. Kevin only listened to the voice of God.
kevo u really acted as a real man.God bless ur marriage
i knew it from d beginning this will happen,but i thank GODit came to pass.wish u all d best in life
Liz, please shame the devil and stay married to him – He loves you dearly – i could see by the patience he had on you. congratulations! Please make him proud!
its unfortunate am sure kevin neva got to hear everything elizabeth said but hey who cares its hes life so congratttttts kev way to go!
why should they get engaged? can’t it just be dating for a while? why the hurry? or is it for tv another show? i know some who never want to say “dating” (unchristianly) but the truth is marriage is hard work even when you find the one you love. i do wish them the best.
pls leave elizabeth alone.
kevin and eliz are blessed, simple short and clear.
am so happy for the two lovebirds.we should only pray that the relationship last and not criticizing them.i wish both Lizzy and Kevin the best in their lives together.Happy for the two
KELIS I REALLY HAPPY FOR U BOTH.I WISH U BOTH HAPPY MARRIAGE LIFE.
MAY DE LORD BLESS UR MARRIAGE WIT CHILDREN.
Keliz…. wishing u guyz d best. jare its all abt love haters!!!!!!!!!!
i wish u happy marriage life
I’m so so hapi.wishin keliz & lizzy best of luck.
I knew Elizabeth was in love with Kevin right from when they were in the house. You know we women like to pretend at times and play hard to get. She is not after the money just following her heart. Congratulations.
Kevin Pam, I will want you to read and adhere to the advice of Cassie which is number 2 on the list. My brother be careful and open your brain.
exactly-if only all the things women say about their future husbands were caught on tape!!!!! we all will be guilty in a way
i hope this gurl is not dating him bcuz of the money oh,any way be careful women are not to be truted in a case like this,gud luck
hongera zao kelv na liz tumepata shem wa kinaijeria
nawatakia maisha mema mungu awabariki ndoa idumu ameni
Please lets jus pray for them…am ha fellow Tz used to hate her so much for not bein nice to ma Kevin..I hope an pray She respects an love him in return….otherwise i will hunt her an spit on her face….KELIZ 4 lyf
Kevin and Eliz am happy for you guys and please Eliz dont hurt Kevin as he is real about his feelings and we are not certain if you are.
Kevin keep praying like you did it boy
..wish them love endurance and happiness, i personally find Liz’s fiery temper very unforgettable, but i know Kevin is one guy that God has blessed with some wisdom and i expect he will have grace to manage that ., apart from this there are the Good and lovely sides to Lovely Liz., this is not about Kevin’s money, i dare to posit she’s not like that., let’s get positive
naijarians! una go kill me wit una words…no be small thing KELIZ..congrats
congrats Keliz as usual i really admire you 2
She says Kevin is short, with the pics i see above; is she any taller, she is not even close to height with Kevin.
hi kelvin nd lizzy,wish u happiness in ur home.
Money answereth all things & it just answered lizzy’s prayer since BBA.here the money is Kevin.she sees Kevin she sees money,ego, owo;na waa for girls o!
Yeah,i even notice that,while they’re still acting in big brother africa,this two people are always so nice to themselve.it’s no big deal they struck up together after BBA
