Two days ago, Beverly Osu and Melvin Oduah (Nigerian
housemates at the just concluded #BBATheChase) had
a press conference at Protea Hotel, Victoria Island,
Lagos.
Beverly Osu on recounting her personal experiences in
the Big Brother House disclosed thus:
“In BBA House, the experience was awesome.
Though it was challenging, God really saw
me through. It is something everybody
should look forward to participating in.
I don’t believe I was cheated during the
grand finale. Housemates from West Africa
were not only united but, we dominated the
House. Whoever won the show really
deserved to win. For me and Melvin, having
made it to the finals, we are equally
winners in our own rights. At least, we
brought something home to show for our
efforts.
Having
sex with
South
Africa’s
Angelo!
I did not have sex in the House. I had a
relationship with Angelo Collins but we did
not have sex. I loved him and I still love
him. I am a blunt person and very
real. People that knew me before BBA know
that I don’t pretend to be who I am. If it
happens, you fall in love, you can’t fake it.
I did not have sex with Angelo.
I was under the bathtube, but we never had
sex. Maybe, the camera made it look so.
Everybody gets naked to have their bath,
so I don’t think it is wrong for me to be
naked when I have my bath too. There was
no way. I couldn’t be different because I
went for a reality show. So, I should not be
judged by what people saw during the show
since I didn’t intentionally bring out my
video for all to see. .Big brother did that.
Winning
strategy
I am a very blunt person. Melvin can testify
to this claim because he stayed with me for
ninety one days in the House. I was only
talking to my fellow Housemates. And I
don’t regret anythin I said about myself
and my family. This is because if I have to
be on this platform, people have to know the
real me and what I have been through.
On her plans for the future
I’ll continue with my online reality show
“Beverly Says” and I’ll complete my
education. I also intend to go into
acting. I’m a 200 level student of the
National Open University of Nigeria, where
I am studying Mass Communication.
My mum’s reaction
My mum has
tutored me very well. Even if the whole
world rejects me today, my mum can’t
reject me. I love my mum so much. I’m her
only daughter and the last child in the
family. I have always been there for her,
just as she has always been there for me. I
will not disappoint my mum intentionally by
saying she this or she’s that…
Embarrassing Nigerians
I don’t feel happy about it because this is
the first time, I represented the country in
any continental competition. But the fact
remains that if you didn’t go for it, you
wouldn’t know how it’s in the House. I
wasn’t there with my cell phone to be able
to communicate with the outside world. I
was just there alone.
I’m sorry for embarrassing my country. I
didn’t do it intentionally. My participation in
the show was not to embarrass my country.
I am a proud Nigerian.
On featuring in a porn production by
Afrocandy
I heard about it. Thanks for the offer but
no. I participated in BBA to be myself –
Melvin on the other hand had this to say:
On the experience
Considering that I and Beverly were chosen to
represent the country and the fact that we were in
the House from the beginning to the end, made our
participation in the show remarkable. There are a lot of
people who don’t know anything about Big Brother. For
me, I learned a lot of things while in the House.
My journey
I contested for 2009 Gulder Ultimate Search, and I
emerged the first runner up.
I contested for Mr Nigeria in 2011 and again, I
finished as the first runner up.
Now, I contested for Big Brother Africa-The Chase
and also finished in the fourth position. But I am not
The Chase.
I think we can also take time to look at the positive
side of the show. It is not easy to participate in these
major competitions and making to the finals. So, I
think I should be given some credit.
It is also painful when you have worked so hard to
make it to the finals, only to miss winning the ultimate
price.
His future plans
I’m taking my acting career to the next level.
Winning strategy
Before I was chosen to represent my country, I was
regularly asked what winning strategy I would adopt
while in the House. I kept repeating the same thing “I
was going to be myself and nothing else. The Melvin
you meet in real life was the same Melvin you watched
in the Big Brother House. Nothing about me was unreal
or done to make people like me or hate me. I thank
Nigerians for voting for me . I will always be a proud
ambassador of the country.
