<div style="text-align: justify;">
Claudio Ranieri says his table-topping Leicester City team are enjoying a "magical season" and can handle the pressure of the title run-in.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Foxes moved seven points clear of Tottenham with six games remaining thanks to a 1-0 win over Southampton.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I am very calm," said Ranieri. "We believe in what we are doing."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said "everybody" was waiting to see how they would react to Tottenham's 1-1 draw with Liverpool, adding: "We gave a very good answer."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leicester need 12 points from their final six games to become champions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ranieri said his squad know they may not get another shot at glory.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We try to do our best. Other teams can win 3-0, 4-0. We have to fight to win 1-0. We must be focused in our way."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On this day a year ago, Leicester were bottom of the Premier League and seven points from safety, having lost 4-3 at Tottenham.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Striker Jamie Vardy had scored only once in six months and the Foxes has lost 18 out of 29 league games.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leicester have played 41 Premier League games since - winning 27, drawing 10 and losing just four to complete a remarkable turnaround in fortune.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leicester owner and chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha travelled from his native Thailand to watch the win over Southampton on the eve of his birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To celebrate his big day and thank Leicester's fans for their support, the club gave away a free doughnut and bottle of beer to every ticket holder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We sung 'Happy Birthday' to him in the dressing room before the match and I asked the players to give him a good present, three points," said Ranieri.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Srivaddhanaprabha and his party flew off the King Power Stadium in a helicopter after the final whistle - but not before making sure a box of doughnuts was on board.</div>

With season 10 of popular reality TV game show <i style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Big Brother Africa</i> not yet officially confirmed, it leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to the show's producers and 'Biggie' in particular about ardent followers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20.8px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

Surely, last year was an understandable excuse since during 2014, there was a misfortune which led to fire gutting the studio and house. The show went on for a month less (it's always 3 months) and 2015 seems to have paid the price for the loss.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20.8px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

However, after a year on the shelf, followers are anticipating that this year something comes up some how and indeed, there are lots of unconfirmed rumors doing rounds.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20.8px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

Though auditions are yet to be called, we should exercise a little more patience since the year is still young and who knows, anything is still possible.</div>

Remember when it comes to Biggie, you can most definitely expect anything!</div>

Is 'Polikem' the best BBA couple of all time?

We've had nine seasons of <i style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Big Brother Africa</i> so far since the reality show's inception over a decade ago (2003).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20.8px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

And in each season, we've without a doubt had a number of couples, there are those that have stayed in the lime light long after their respective seasons ended.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 20.8px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

However, in as much as the above and many more of such couples have been popular over the years, it surely seems that of Elikem and Pokello fondly known as 'Polikem' is succeeding in unseating other BBA couples.</div>

The power pair who recently welcomed their first child (a girl) together are the talk of town and people's favourite.</div>

Everywhere they go across Africa, they are received like Royalty. While Pokello is from Southern Africa (Zimbabwe), Elikem hails from West Africa (Ghana) but the distance hasn't deterred them from chasing their dreams of staying together as a couple.</div>

It's from here that we ask, do you concur with the notion that 'Polikem' is the most popular BBA couple of all time?</div>
