My father died of AIDS – BBA winner, Karen Igho

When asked what she would do with her $200, 000 BBA cash prize, Karen replied
The money is still hot. I want it to cool down first. Later, I would think of what to do with it. I will follow the adage that says ‘charity’ begins at home. Like you all heard, my father died of AIDS, so I want to use part of the money to pursue that cause. I will start in Nigeria before I go to other countries.

  8. thank God you won, thou not really a fan of BBA but i got infected with the virus at work(we didnt have post exposure prophylaxis then) and since then my life has never been the same. I just hope this ur vision would not die and i also would want pple to know that u dont have to be a womanizer to contract the disease.

  14. @anon 7.54, probably medical work. Access to PEP in the UK can also be incredibly stressful.

    I'm not the commenter with the Virus, but a lot of medical professions with patient interaction can cause exposure to the virus. I think these fields offer post exposure prophylaxis as one precautionary measure but I'm not too sure.

  24. @alicia
    pls educate us
    whats her story?
    ******kanye shrug*****

  25. if you saw the show, she made a suggestion of sharing, but obviously most people in the house-if not all of em were two faced and would back-stab you without a notice. She probably left the house to tales of what others really said and did behind her back. If i were her too, i would hug the money...btw wetin concern you if she decides to spend it all alone, Is it your money ni? hahahahahah ole Anon 9:41am
