Yesterday African music sensation 2Face Idibia visited the Big Brother Africa House as the housemates stood in solidarity with the hundreds of millions of Africans who go hungry every day.
Watch his message here:
Speaking at the house 2Face said:
“My brothers and sisters, we might live in different countries but we are united in the belief that that no one in Africa should go hungry, much lesssuffer famine. Not in 2012, and not in a continent as rich in natural resources, human capacity and ingenuity as Africa. Housemates, you are the future of Africa. And what you do could inspire a new generation of young Africans who, with you,will be the change we want to see. Stay strong, stay committed, stay hungry for change.”
Throughout the week 2Face and others will encourage us all to be hungry for change and support of ONEs Thrive campaign, boldly calling for progress in the fight against hunger, poverty and malnutrition on the continent. They will present the Big Brother housemates with creative challenges to promote this vital issue for the continent throughout this much-watched week.
You can join them by signing our pledge here.
This is just the start of a series of ONE activities that the Big Brother housemates will be involved in this week, so keep an eye on the ONE Africa Blog for more news.

Was glued to the screen with tears running. So humbling – 2Face, your presence and your message was LOUD & CLEAR. Fellow Africans, especially the new generation, my appeal to you is that – please, before you go on a spending spree – for whatever your needs or luxuries – use even 1$ EACH TIME and donate it to ONE. I am committed to also give as much as I can possibly afford to ONE, starting this very minute. ONE LOVE, AFRICA, ONE PURPOSE – LET’S KILL POVERTY.
