Last Thursday, at Protea Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, Beverly Osu and
Melvin Oduah were presented to the media after a heroic welcome
back home.
The two ex-housemates recounted their personal experiences in the Big
Brother House. And here's what Beverly said:
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 said:
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.
