Beverly Osu Apologizes For Disgracing Nigeria,Blames Big Brother for her Videos [FULL GIST]
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.
Ese Walter Says Evidence Of COZA Affair Has Been Given To ‘Respected Man Of God’
According to Ese Walter’s latest blog post, the evidence of her sexual affair with Pastor Biodun has been deposited with a respected man of God.
The post:
About six months ago, I was watching a lot of Apple ads on YouTube and heard something that has never left me. You should watch the YouTube video, it’s truly inspiring. Here’s what I heard:
“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in square holes, the ones who see things differently, they are not fond of rules and have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them but the only
thing you can’t do, is ignore them because they change things.
They push the human race forward and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius because the people, who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
When I sat with my MacBook to type my last blog, I never imagined it would generate the kind of attention it did and continues to. I have one last thing to say on this issue
before I lay it to rest and move on. (I also hope others can move on too, we
have too much going on in this Country to continue to peddle one for longer
than necessary.)
A very big thank you to everyone that has felt it necessary to talk about this issue and spread it throughout Nigeria and the foreign scene. I read every email sent to me with awe that people would take the time out to reach a total stranger like me. Some were cursing, calling me a witch from the pit of hell sent to destroy the church as though one individual/church is bigger than the body of Christ. As though God is mere man and would cringe in heaven saying, “Ese don did it this time.” Or as if
the good Book didn’t state clearly that ALL things work out for good for those
that love God.
Do you love God? If yes, trust that it will ALL turn around for good.
Some people say, ‘I support you, you are brave and courageous’ and I wonder if those terms really define me. I do not think I am brave or courageous. I do know, however that after decades of sleepwalking through life, I am now becoming aware not just of myself but also of my environment, my world, and the universe.
Some say, put out the evidence and we will believe you. Hmmm, the morning I sat to write that post, I really didn’t expect anyone to believe me. Well, apart from those involved. And my motive was simple, let one more woman be spared. Let one more minister of the gospel be mindful and let the church rise up to its responsibilities as God’s legal representatives here in the earth realm.
A copy of the ‘evidence’ is with a respected minister of the gospel should the christian body decide to deal with this issue now and that becomes needful. I am not looking to have a ‘me against them’ case where I need to prove I’m right and someone is wrong. I am far from right, but I have used the only means available to me to free myself of the bondage I put myself in.
Lastly, to all the media people seeking interviews and whatever else mailing me, I have nothing more to say on this issue. I cannot reply every email as reading them is beginning to seem like a new job.
I remember asking a friend once while reading the book of Acts, “Why do we no longer operate in the power the disciples did in Jesus day?” What has changed? How do we ‘unchange’ it?
God is not mocked, if we serve Him, let’s serve Him. We cannot continue to grow as a Nation by oppressing, delaying justice, hating, having the ME ME ME mentality. As Martin Luther King Jr said, ‘no one is free until we are all free.’
Things have got to change and it begins with us. It begins with each and every one of us borrowing courage to stand for what we believe in. Fela Durotoye once said, ‘that thing that annoys you most in society is a sign that you carry its solution.’ (I’m
paraphrasing)
Nothing has called out to me more than people, especially women, suffering in some way and hiding the pain. Whatever we cover doesn’t go away. It grows and it finds different outlets to rear its ugly head until we deal with it.
I am not perfect, I will never be, but I am enough to try what I feel might work. I don’t know what the entire bible says but I am learning and applying the little I find out
daily. And I think everyone owes it to himself or herself to figure it out for
themselves.
At the end of the day, we agree that ‘men of God’ are firstly men, right? This means it’s needless expecting them to help you in your growth with God. I fell into that trap of thinking a ‘man of God’ is equated to God and it is not new to find people fall in that hole.
How do you begin to learn to serve a God you have never seen? It takes another level of faith to do that but we live in a generation/Country where people don’t want to study for themselves. They don’t want to read the Scriptures. Well, they don’t want to read, period. They want to pursue things instead and have somebody do the praying and studying for them. If you fall in that category, you need to repent.
I learnt that when the veil was torn, we all were given equal access to the Father. No matter how long you may have been in church, if you don’t know what that means you better ask somebody. And seek a real relationship with the God you claim to serve.
That is what I am spending most of my time doing these days. Praying, studying, seeking, knocking. The peace I have felt despite all the hate mails and tantrums shows that God is not angry with me and I did what I needed to do to the best of my
understanding.
My apologies to everyone this has affected in one way or another.
Firstly, my family: I don’t know how you guys aren’t sick of me yet
Secondly, ‘the body of Christ,’ my intention was never to cause trouble but to stop a rot I felt might spread and become worse if nobody spoke up about it.
Lastly, to those who said I shouldn’t blog again, I respect and understand your concerns but the truth is, writing is not just my gift, it is also my ‘curse’. I cannot ‘NOT’ write but I PROMISE, this is the last I will say on this issue except the christian body needs to see me.
God is building His church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. No sin is too big to wreck anyone’s faith. If it does, then it means it’s working out a greater good for you. You will definitely come out stronger and better in the end. Like my best friend says “in the end, it will be all right and if it ain’t alright, it’s not
the end.”
“…forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Paul.
Cheers to the weekend people
Another pastor in Abuja accuses COZA's pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of adultery
On the pastor's words...
For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.”
Isaiah 9:16 . Let them alone: they be leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Matt 15:14
I was going to be silent on this sad, pathetic but true (in many shades) allegation against Pastor B and his popular and trendy ministry. My silence was borne out of respect for the kingdom of God and things that pertain to God. But all this changed when I heard the horrific tales of people who had been through the mess of this blind man, and the fact that he had no moral motivation to deny or accept the allegation; all he showed on Sunday was a demented swagger and perverse talk.
My sole purpose in writing this piece is to open the eyes of the world and believers to the hypocrisy and nonsense behind the pulpit, and to plea that these wolves and blind men stop deflating the faith of people who Christ died for. I am a Pastor, a full time minister at that, and I shall not sit back while
the name of my God, the ministry, and the works of other shepherds is brought to disrepute by the activities, action and inaction of a few blind men behind the pulpit.
I am tired of the nonsense of religion crying out, “touch not my anointed”; does this mean we cannot rebuke ourselves when we err, this much Paul did to Peter when he erred in Galatians 2:11 “But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed”. It is therefore pertinent that I rebuke the wolves in shepherd’s clothing’s. It is time to set the record straight, and please don’t sell me the bullocks of judge not, I haven’t said anyone is going to hell, but of course if they don’t change, they have only one path.
It is high time we told the truth, which is plain, simple and without coloration. The stories of Franca and Ese is not only true but they are just a few tales of the tantalizing sex escapades of this clergy. This has been a recurring decimal in the ministry of the clergyman. This wasn’t the first time these stories will come forth, for those old COZA members, for those who were there when he was in Ilorin, when the church moved to Pipeline Road, Ilorin, having left Kwara Hotel, they will remember there was a time when the Pastor was suspended from ministering by his Father in the Lord, Rev Oset of Canaan Ministries. Rev. Oset sent guest ministers to the church every Sunday after that, but still Pastor B in his deceit will still minister in the pretence of introducing the guest minister, while he exhorts for minutes. I therefore laugh in mockery when He says his wife loves him, the woman has no choice. His core circle of Pastor Wole (Ilorin Chapter, the only man who maybe clean), and Pastor Flo (COZA, Lagos) knows of this fact, little wonder Ese said Pastor Flo said he knows about their adventures in that hotel room in London.
This is not the story of a hater; I don’t want or envy anything he has. He cannot ever have what I have and carry; neither do I crave for what he has. I am sure no one in the city of Ilorin, where this man started is bemused by these stories, no one who finished from the University of Ilorin during the period of 2003-2008, and was not a blinded COZA member can be mightily shocked at these revelations. I have heard tales of many more victims, I even heard from a woman who knows five friends who were victims, I saw it online the other day of a guy who said he formally works for him and he knows up to 130 people, outrageous as it may sound that too is true. Rev Oset in true conscience cannot deny the knowledge of these negatives. But we are a nation of hypocrites and religious folks; we ask no questions of leaders, so they can hide under the canopy of religion, even when they are filthy. Anyone who asks is rebuked by those who say, the bible says pray. It is sad that those who say pray themselves have not prayed. But Pastor B is just a decimal in an ever mounting number of wolves in the Church of Christ.
Someone told me yesterday that this can’t be the end of him and his tyranny, because even in Ilorin in those days, the allegation was rolled under the rug. On Sunday, August 25, 2013, the man leading certain blind men under the veil of religion and ‘spiritism’ said God told him not to say anything, he then said they are preparing a robust response. Who is fooling who? We must not keep quiet and watch the bride of Christ, the church, rubbed and undignified in mud and slime by a filthily rich pastor who thinks he can do anything and get away with it.
It is a pity that we run sensational press and media outfit in this country, and that our press is blinded by religion. If this were to be ‘saner’ climes the press would by now be researching, there would by now be investigative journalism. The truth would be dogged up and resurrected to life. For this is not about a mistake that a Pastor made, it is about a filthy man’s way of life.
And then about, “teaching a new level of grace’; please be reminded that Grace is not a license to sin, rather it empowers us to live above sin. Romans 6:1-2 says, “What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?” In my years of being a Christian, studying God’s word, preaching the gospel, listening to sound teachers, I have not heard of a grace that gives permission to sin. Stop being deceived, grace is the new dispensation, according to Hebrew 8:6-12, and under grace we do not follow any written code, law or traditions. That is done away with. The tablet of Moses is over with. But we are not reckless sinners; we are under a new covenant based on better promises. God’s law is written in our minds and hearts. We live according to His dictates. The Holy Spirit and our conscience convicts and judges us respectively. This is the only way we live a holy life. God’s strength and empowerment is the grace to do according to that written by God in our hearts and minds.
I write this with a heavy heart, though I wish I never had to write this, but I pray this madness stops. I know many who have stopped going to church, many whose faith has been derailed by the act of madness of this man, and many blind men like him. If they are not going to heaven, let them stop taking men out of the straight and narrow. No one understands the pain in meeting a man, whose faith has been derailed by a man who was supposed to help establish him. For such a man, words can’t bring him back, the best we can do is to pray and hope. I indulge the clergy to be of a higher moral standard.
My candid advice to the church at this end time is that the church must grow in knowledge; it’s high time we stopped bamboozling you. You must stop making idols of men. You must stop making men such as I, substitute for the Holy Ghost. Honour us; revere us… but that is where it ends. Without the Call, the Oil, and the Holy Spirit; we are mere mortal. But know for sure that this too shall pass; only the truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom abides forever.
For Pastor B and his sense making COZA people, remember the word of Christ in Matthew 15:14. How many of you even live life bearing the fruit of righteousness. Stop being blind, the ditch is close by. Look into this case, ask your pastor questions, seek genuine answers and not emotional rhetorics, hold him responsible, and do not forget the word of God, “then shall they know if they follow to know…” I am sure evidence abound. Seek to know from some key PCU members (who may need to be deposited in Gods ICU). Its time you hear not only about grace, but HOLINESS without which no one will see the Lord.
Finally don’t bother praying against me, I can say like Paul, “For me to die is gain, to live is Christ”, but I cannot even go now, because I am yet to fully finish the task set before me. Don’t waste your time using misguided scriptural interpretation. This I write is true, and I am sorry if you don’t like it. Your Pastor, and every other wolf whose conscience is not seared knows it is the complete true.
God bless you.
God bless His Church.
God bless Nigeria

Dear MB Readers.......
I am so happy to read this, people blinded by their pastors, people who worship their pastors, this Coza scandal must not and should not be shoved away. When I heard this last week I was in great shock, buh when he climbed the pulpit Sunday morning then i realised that this man has no shame, and guilt was written all over him. I was disgusted at all he had said and how the crowd applauded him, said to myself this Coza members are just blind. Anyway if i keep talking it won't finish. I just have a message for Pastor Biodun, you shame every pastor now and you should accept your wrong and apologize and beg God for your sins ( restitution) first step to forgiveness.

Jonathan's Female Minister lavish ₦2billion On Private Jet
“We are of the view that Mr. President is not aware of all these atrocious and reckless spending of the minister. Usually, we understand that smaller presidential jets are usually assigned to ministers on official assignments abroad whenever there is need for such trips.
“Mr. Chairman, we make bold to ask in good conscience whether Nigeria’s fragile economy can afford to carry this financial burden any longer and that is why we are calling on you to act and provide the new lease of life for the Nigerian economy.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is being urged to probe how she blew the cash on chartered jets. The Minister was reported to EFCC Chairman, Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde, by a whistle-blowing group, Crusaders for Good Governance (CGG), on August 13.
In the petition, signed by its representative, Okechukwu Obiorah Nnamdi, the group said its alarm against the Minister was as a result of thorough investigation.
The group told EFCC Chairman that “We are calling your attention to a monumental act of corruption, abuse of office and reckless application of public funds by a minister.
“Our investigation has revealed that the minister has not only become a liability Nigeria cannot bear at this time, she has also become a huge source through which our nation is gradually bleeding to a slow and painful death.
“Unlike other cabinet ministers, who travel on commercial (and presidential where applicable) jets for official assignments, the minister has taken it upon herself to travel by private jets to all assignments.
“When the President visited China, she was on the trip but travelled in a private jet at the cost of $300,000. The same thing happened during Mr. President’s trip to South Africa; she also travelled in a private jet at the cost of $300,000.
Details of her other activities and unwholesome spending are listed below:
•During Easter break, she flew a private jet to Dubai with members of her family at the cost of $300,000.
•A parastatal maintains a private jet, Challenger 850 Visa Jet, at $500,000 monthly for the minister.
•She has never attended any meeting outside the country in commercial or presidential jets in the last two years and she has spent over N2billion on maintaining aircraft in the last two years.
•She is the only minister, who attends events when the President is travelling, in private jets. Unlike other ministers, she flies private jets even when the President is travelling to the same location.
•She does official jobs in her house; she hardly goes to office.
•Information from FAAN, NCAA, and NAMA confirmed that she has never flown commercial aircraft in the last two years.
•When the President went to China but she did not go on the presidential jet, she went in a private jet, further bleeding the national purse.
The group said its allegations could be verified through the records of aviation agencies, such as FAAN, NAMA and NCAA.
The petition added: “We demand that you carry out thorough investigation of all the above which are easily verifiable through the aviation agencies, FAAN, NAMA and NCAA.
“We want to count on you to save the national purse of the excessive bleeding, which we believe is the main reason for the establishment of your agency.
“We want to however state that our commitment to this cause will not waiver. We are still compiling and investigating further details of her financial dealings and at the right time, we will organise a world press conference to express these and other details we are working on.”
This woman is very close to Jonathan, hence I doubt if any action will be taken at all.

Beverly Osu Rejects Afrocandy’s Explicit Movie Offer, Talks About $ex With Angelo + Her Intentions To Marry Him
Beverly Osu was on radio yesterday morning where she spoke about her BBA experience and other things. Read excerpt from the interview:
How do you feel about Angelo’s supposed girlfriend Candice?
I don’t want to talk about his so called girlfriend because I don’t know anything about her.
Did you have sex with Angelo?
I did not have sex with Angelo. I loved him and I still love him. I would get married to Angelo if I had the chance!
And the bathtub scene…
I’ll still say….Nothing happened between me and Angelo!
Did you use any strategy?
I talk a lot. My strategy was nothing. I just went with the flow…
Your take on Afrocandy’s movie offer
Afrocandy nibo? No oooo…..Thanks for the offer but NO!
On her plans for the future
I’ll continue with my online reality show “Beverly Says” and I’ll finish school. That’s what is important now.

NDLEA Nabs student with hard drugs at Lagos Airport - Rome
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, said that it foiled an attempt by a 27 years old student, Chukwu Ramseyn Onyekaozuru, to smuggle 5.300kg of cannabis and 660 gramnmes of heroin to Rome, Italy.
Continue After The Break.
NDLEA yesterday stated that the drugs were detected during the outward screening of Alitalia passengers at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, MMIA, Lagos. A media statement signed by the Head, Public Affairs, NDLEA, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, stated that the parcels of cannabis were covered with dried bitter leaf vegetables inside a bag while the heroin was ingested by the suspect.
According to him, the suspect claimed to be a Philosophy student at Ebonyi State University. He allegedly confessed, “I studied Philosophy at Ebonyi State University where I graduated in 2009 with three referrals. I later travelled to Italy and came to write the three courses. As a result of my long stay in the country, I was broke and needed money to buy my ticket to Italy and settle other family expenses.
“In the process of looking for money, I was introduced to the drug baron who bought my ticket and gave me One Thousand Euros. I accepted the money because I was practically stranded after my exams.” Commenting on the arrest, the Airport Commander, NDLEA, Mr. Hamza Umar, said that the arrest was one of the few cases of poly-drug trafficking made by the command in recent time.
He said, “Most traffickers smuggle only one drug at a time. This case is one of the few poly-drug trafficking cases recorded by the command since January. The suspect had 5.300kg of cannabis packed in vegetables and other food ingredients. “He also ingested 660 grammes of heroin. It is an interesting case and we have made significant progress in our investigations.”
