If you haven't already downloaded the BBM for Android and iOS (and Techno too), it is already available in the Google Play Store and the iTunes Store. For those that say that it is restricted to only non-African region, sorry I'm in Naija and I'm using it.

I was, like every other person in this continent, put on the waiting list for the app, but here's how I managed to bypass the waiting list

Download BBM for either Android or iOS
http://echo.com.ng/2013/finally-bbm-for-android-and-ios-now-available/
Run the app, fill in your email address as per normal, click next
Once your email is registered, force close the app. On iOS, this can be done by tapping your home button twice and swiping the app away. On Android, you can go to Settings, Apps, BBM and stop the app from running.
After the app has been closed, go ahead and reopen it. From there, you should be able to create an account or login.

UPDATE: The next few steps work better than the first.
1. At the verification page, use a three letter gmail address e.g. xux@gmail.com
