In February, 2012, two brothers, okay two former enemies came together and founded the fastest growing Entertainment Website in East Africa and the fastest growing Website in Uganda. As we began off the month of October, BigEye.ug was nominated for the Best Entertainment Website in the Social Media Awards. In case you are wondering why you should vote for BigEye.ug as the best Entertainment website, here are 10 reasons to convince you.
1. We do it for the Passion
It was never about the money. People think it was about the money, but unlike most websites, BigEye.ug’s sole aim was to put a smile of people’s faces, to go to bed every day knowing we have done something wonderful. We are the only website in Uganda that does it for the passion, and the best way to reward that passion is to vote for us in the Social Media Awards.
2. We are a family
Some websites tend to think of themselves as separate from their fans. It’s all different at BigEye.ug, this is a community of fun-loving people, this is a great movement, a family that is held close by superior unbreakable bonds and if you believe in being part of that family then you should vote for us. We burn the bridges; we go out there and give it our best. We have no plan B at BigEye.ug, we only have Plan A and that’s offering the best Entertainment, period!
3. We are Hungry
We are hungry in the sense that we never stop breaking the records we set for ourselves. We set these big goals that make people laugh at us then go right ahead and achieve those goals. We are the first website that embraced the East African Community Ideology, BigEye Rwanda is proof to this. We never get satisfied; we are always yearning for more, for better. First they ignore us, then they laugh at us, then they try to fight us and finally we win. Be part of the win.
4. We are Foolish
We are foolish in the sense that we think different. We are crazy, we try out things others have never tried before. We break the news, we set the trends. We don’t care whether it has never been done before, we are so foolish that we always go out and do things that have never been seen in Uganda. We are the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently – we’re not fond of rules… You can quote us, disagree with us, glorify or vilify us, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore us because we change things… we push the human race forward, and while some may see us as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
5. We have the Most Beautiful and Handsome Website Visitors
It’s a whole class of different people that visit BigEye.ug. These are people who have beauty and brains. We are the first website to have fans that have both. And if you are one of those fans, then you have to vote for us. We have the most beautiful and most handsome website visitors. Unless you are not one of them, then don’t vote for us. At first we wanted to be the CNN of Uganda, but on second thought, we just want to be the BigEye.ug of Uganda.
6. We have the Nicest Web Design
BigEye.ug is the only website you can focus on for the rest of your life and not get bored let alone miss out anything. It’s a skin deep design. A website that took 10 years to design to give you that maximum satisfaction when you are on it, if you believe in quality, if you believe in the best, then you should vote for us. We create and deliver value, we don’t know about other websites. We are the light that shines in the era of darkness; we illuminate your dark world.
7. Our Facebook Page Never Goes to Sleep
We are the only Ugandan Facebook page that watches over you as you go to sleep. We smell you, think you, feel you, see you and adore you. You are like a god to us, and unless you don’t want such celebrity status, then don’t vote for us. The reasons we never go to sleep is because we have to make sure those with insomnia are entertained. We do it, because we love it, we enjoy it.
8. We have the sweetest Name
Just like Pinkeye, many people took long to figure out the correct pronunciation of BigEye. We are glad to announce that we have the sweetest website name in Uganda. It is one name that gets you thinking, gets you on the radar and gets you laughing out loud, unless you believe in ugly things, then don’t vote for us, otherwise go to the Social Media Awards website and vote in hourly intervals for us as the best Entertainment Website in Uganda.
9. We Simplify Lives
It’s only at BigEye.ug where a toddler can understand and figure their way out on our website and social media pages. We believe simplicity is the true expression of a genius. While others make complicated websites, we keep simplifying. Any fool can make a complicated website, only a true Genius can make a BigEye.ug website.
10. We have a Lawyer and an Engineer
One of the two founders is a lawyer, the other is an Engineer. If you don’t vote for us, the Lawyer will sue you, if you win the battle, the Engineer will screw you. You don’t want to be sued and screwed at the same time. So better vote for us. The other reason you should vote for us as the best Entertainment website is because we have a team that does it for the passion, a team that thinks different, a team that writes stories no one had thought about, it’s a team of geniuses, the amazing Edwin, the splendid Hood Lighta, the fantabulous Stuart and the massive Isaac.
Our lives are ending one minute at a time, we never have much time on us to do great things and get rewarded for them. It’s time to appreciate the team as it still lives on. It’s time to vote BigEye.ug for the best Entertainment Website in the inaugural Social Media Awards. The time is now, and after every hour. Be part of the revolution, be part of the generation that changed things and saw them differently with big eyes, be part of class, be part of BigEye.ug, the best Entertainment website in Uganda.
