Beverly Ada Osu
Nigeria’s representative at the last Big Brother Africa show, Beverly Ada Osu, still remains a news maker months after her infamous sex romp with South African counterpart, Angelo Collins, in the house. The lewd but down to earth star reflects on life outside BBA in this interview with LANRE ODUKOYA
LIFE OUTSIDE BBA…
THE PAINS AND GAINS…
Well, I’m usually a very busy person, but it’s just that right now, I’ve been a very unstable person. Sometimes, I can’t even stay here in Lagos for a week without traveling here and there. I think that’s a good thing because good things are coming out of it. And apparently, there’s always the negative side and that is mostly things that are not true that you hear about yourself; how people see you and so on. Some people don’t really bother about perception, but if you’re somebody like me, you will think about it and sometimes it will affect your work. But I thank God that my life has been good.
REACTION TO NEGATIVE STORIES …
I just keep praying about it. And I also have it at the back of my mind that there’s no way this thing can just go away. It affects my relationship with people sometimes because I won’t just want to have any conversation with anybody. I just try to continue to be who I am and obviously when you have something to do, you channel your efforts into that. I rid myself of all the negative feelings when they creep in.
HOW I FEEL AFTER THE SEX SCENE AT THE BBA…
Apparently, I don’t feel sorry because I was being myself. So, I can’t say sorry to anyone who feels disappointed. They’re living their lives and I’m living mine. The only difference is that I was in a house where I had to make the platform work for me; the platform everybody enjoyed seeing me make. If you guys stuck to your television for 91 days only to see my faults, then you should check yourself because people have their faults and it’s only people with faults that quickly notice that in other persons. I don’t criticise people and I don’t think people should critisice me because no matter how you look at it, I’m still a youth.
ABOUT THE PORNOGRAPHY VIDEO MAKING THE ROUNDS ABOUT ME…
Well, when I saw it, I just told myself, this thing didn’t start today. Looking at the picture of the girl in the video, obviously, she looks like me and I cannot even deny that. When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ And I cannot say that’s from photoshop because that’s not a photoshop picture. The girl is someone who really looks like me and I don’t know where she came from. But anybody who really knows me well enough will know that is not me. We have differences in our faces, but people can do what they want to do, it can sometimes break me inside. I’ll still be strong. It’s only here in Nigeria that people don’t appreciate their own, it doesn’t happen like that outside here. I traveled to Tanzania and I saw how they appreciated their country man.
WHAT I’M PRESENTLY UP TO…
I lost my grand mother before I left the BBA house. My mom and I are trying to bury her and you know how communal Africans are. I’m still trying to get balance with my family. I still have appearances to do and things to work on.
ABOUT MAKING FATHERLAND PROUD…
If people don’t believe I made Nigeria proud, I think next year everybody should try to be in a reality show even if it’s a beauty pageant. Then we will all know how it feels. As for me, I forget about the cameras and if I’m still on their lips till next year when the next season of BBA is on, then I’ll know that I’m so much relevant. But if it fades away, that’s how I will know that Nigerians are just hypocrites.
BETWEEN ME AND ANGELO..
Angelo and I are now an item and that’s how I want to answer the question. No more, no less.
MY ALTER EGO…
I’m a very free-spirited person, calculated and reserved in a funny way. I have up to 17 characters and many sides to me. I have the very religious side, the crazy side, very stubborn side, romantic side and so on.
WHEN I PIERCED MY TONGUE…
I pierced my tongue since I was 17 years old here in Nigeria.
