The idea that Big Brother 9 UK is coming to an end soon maybe terrifying to some die -hard fans.
Well for me it has been an amazing journey, i have watch nearly each episode with an open mind to each personality of every single individual that walks in an out of the house. Its been a crazy house we must all admit. However i wonder how many of us learnt a lesson or two while watching the show. Being a culturally mixed house, each individual brought his/her culture into the house conciously and unconciously. I cant even begin to list or explain all the cultural differences that exist between all the housemates as it might take all day. This differences in most cases where seen by the house mates as irritation or annoyance instead of trying to UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES which will then give room to peace and harmony within the house or better yet in the words of Kathreya..... "Happy! Happy!! House...."
This is the case of Mohammed Mohammed. A fellow born in Somalia, who then moved to kenya, from there he moved to Yemen, to Eritrea, Ethiopia, back to Kenya again then to Dubai and finally landed in the UK where he got into the house. In his defend to why he will like to win the show, he declays that he will be very much glad to use the money to glue his families a** to one place, (you will definately agree with me on this one, wont ya?
What then has culture got to do with this you might ask? Well being an African that has travelled miles across the African continent where eating is done in most of these countries in large portions and eating large often times translate to wealthiness/ living health, this however is different when being compare to a country where the reverse is the case when meals are served in small rations.

Therefore you should see and know that there is no greediness or harm done by Mohammed, rather his upbringing as a result of culture was viewed as bad instead of trying to recognise the difference.
