‘I made Nigeria Proud’ – Beverly Osu.

Beverly Osu made history by becoming the first BBA contestant that was never nominated for eviction since the inception of the African franchise of the television series in 2003
24 hours after she arrived Nigeria, BBA The Chase finalist Beverly Osu was rushed to Faith City Hospital, Oju Olobun Close, off Bishop Oluwole Street, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The BBA star was admitted for treatment due to a sprain ankle she suffered in the BBA house, a day to the finale.
For 91 days, the video vixen entertained Africa with so many tales of her life experiences and of course, the widely condemned sexual encounter that resulted from an in-house love affair between her and another housemate, Angelo Collins
The one question everybody wanted to know was why she succumbed to her sexual urges and having sex with the South African while the entire continent watched.
‘I did not have sex in the house, I never had sex in the house. I had a relationship with Angelo Collins but we didn’t have sex. Nothing happened between me and Angelo. Though there were awkward moments, we never had sex. I know what happened then between us but we never got down to have sex’, she insists.
Rumour has it that Angelo has a girlfriend, but Beverly doesn’t seem to care. ‘I don’t want to talk about his so called girlfriend because I don’t know anything about her’.
Does she see a future in the relationship, she says, ‘We talk every day. He loves me and I still love him. I would get married to him if I had the chance.’
Of course on the issue of nudity she says, ‘all of us take our baths naked. So I shouldn’t be different because I went for a reality show. I shouldn’t be different from every other person, because I didn’t bring out my videos, Big Brother did so I should not be judged, and I represented Nigeria well’.
Particularly known for her fabulous stories: from abortion to rape to sleeping with men for money and dating musicians, she seems not to regret her actions at all.‘I’m a very open person. Melvin knows, he stayed with me for 91 days. I say what’s on my mind, and for me to reveal myself to the world, it didn’t look like I was revealing myself to the world’, she said, ‘I was talking too much, maybe, but I’m on a reality show. I don’t regret saying the things that I said about me and my family, because if I have to be on this platform, people have to know the real me and what I’ve been through.’

Forgive Me, Osu Appeals To Nigerians

BEVERLY OSU, one of the two Nigerian housemates at the just-concluded Big Brother Africa — The Chase edition has begged Nigerians to forgive her for the embarrassment she caused the country at the competition. The video vixen who caused quite a stir when she had sex with another housemate Angelo from South Africa finished in the top five of the reality show after surviving nomination for the entire season.

Speaking with Vanguard after the show, Beverly disclosed the controversies that surrounded her in the house weren’t intentional.
“I don’t feel happy about it (the embarrassment) because this was 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 cellphone 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.”

During her stay, the 21-year-old model revealed to her fellow housemates that she plans on getting married next year, saying: “I am ripe for marriage.”

When asked by her fellow housemates what she would do if South African Angelo was not interested in tying the knot next year, she replied: “There are lots of other fish in the sea.”

Beverly went into the house single but got into a relationship with South African housemate Angelo who actually had a strong relationship with Candice Arends outside the house.

Pokello sex tape is ‘nice’ – Former Big Brother Africa star Elikem

Elikem, the man who became the first Ghanaian to appear at the Big Brother Africa finals confirmed that co-housemate Pokello has a sex tape.
During a media session last Friday in Accra, Elikem said his newly found love Pokello discussed the sex tape issue with him. “She told me about the sex tape, she told me about it in the get-go and how it went”.
Elikem said he has also seen Pokello’s sex tape and that it isn’t really a big deal to him. “I don’t want to say I like it, but its nice”.
Elikem finished third at the just ended BBA, (The Chase). He was also voted the show’s romantic housemate of the season and awarded a cash prize of USD 10,000 for his efforts.

The Chase: No Regrets From Beverly

Like or hate it, the 2013 edition of the Big Brother Africa reality show tagged The Chase got its desired attention and it’s no gainsaying that our own Beverly Osu, the only contestant who was never up for eviction throughout the duration of the show and of course Melvin, contributed to making the reality show a mind-blowing experience for viewers. Just back into the country, Beverly and Melvin shared their ordeal.
Did they feel bad that they came, saw but never conquered? This is what they both had to say: “Well, we were not cheated. It is the votes. In the Big Brother House we were very united. The winner deserved to win. Melvin is on One Campaign and I broke record. Fair enough, we didn’t come out winners, but we came out with something.”
One of the things that made this year’s BBA tick was the ‘Nigerian factor’ and Beverly brought it on in full glare. But that apart, the X-factor as most viewers have stated, was the amount of nudity on display. Beverly notes: “I took my bath naked. We all did and I couldn’t be different. I did not bring out the video, Big Brother did, so I should not be judged, I represented Nigeria well.”
Refuting the general opinion, Beverly says that she did represent Nigeria well. She also cleared the air on having sex with her Angolan lover, Angelo. “I would say I did not have sex in the house and I never had sex in the house. I had a relationship, and we didn’t have sex.”
To cap it all, Beverly revealed she doesn’t have any regrets as far as the show is concerned. “I’m a very open person. I say what is on my mind. And for me to reveal myself to the world, it didn’t feel like I was revealing myself to the world. I was talking to my housemates. I don’t regret the things I said about myself and my family. Because if I am on this platform, people have to know the real me and what I have been through.” Now that BBA is over and she’s back home, just what’s next for Beverly? The undergraduate student at the National Open University where she’s studying Mass Communication said, “Before going into the house, I was into entertainment. Before I left I had a show called Beverly… I am pushing it. And if you watch Big Brother, you would have seen that I can act. So I am going into movies. And I have to finish school, because I am just in 200L at the National Open University studying Mass Communication.

Aftermath Of BBA8: Beverly, Melvin Talk Success, Stardom, Sex

Yesterday, MultiChoice, organiser of Big Brother Africa reality TV competition and sponsor Airtel hosted, Beverly Osu and Melvin Oduah, Nigeria’s representative and finalists at the just-concluded show to a media reception in Lagos.
The finalists continue to receive praise for sailing through to the last hour of the 90-day competition. The housemates arrived in Lagos form South Africa on Tuesday, August 27, not without a truckload of controversy trailing their participation at the eight season of the reality TV show which viewership and budget is unmatched by any other reality show on African soil.
Twenty eight housemates from 14 countries sequestered for 90 days in the House and cut off from communication with the outside world; they were left to their own devices guided by House rules and standards.

What Dillish's Fiance had to "SAY"

Speaking to The Namibian right
after his girlfriend was
announced as the winner of the
reality show, Gaeseb said even
though he does have intentions
of marrying Dillish one day, it won't be any time soon.

"Yes. We have been together for
a long time and I do plan on
marrying her one day but not
now.

Maybe from next year or
so," he said. The record label owner and
businessman also said he was
not all that surprised by Dillish's
conduct throughout the game,
saying that that is how he
knows her.

"It isn't really surprising to me
that she managed to be faithful
throughout the 91 days as she
has been faithful to me
throughout the five years we
have been together." Dillish surely made Gaeseb proud
by going three months without
falling prey to all the advances
from the male housemates.

BBA: The Chase Hottest Talking Points

For 91 days, the Big Brother The Chase housemates entertained Africa. They made us sad and sentimental, they made us laugh out loud, they did things that made us cringe and they braved relationships that had us rooting for happy-ever-afters.
But on a more superficial level, it was their sense of style, the way they moved, and the things they said that got everyone’s attention.
We take a look at the signature quotes, quirks and cool fashion popularised by Season 8′s housemates that had us talking way before the show reached the finish line.
Kenya’s Huddah and Uganda’s Denzel
Huddah and Denzel only managed seven days in the Big Brother house before they were evicted, but they sure made a lasting impression.
Denzel Mwiyeretsi @DenzelUG: With huddahmonroe at #bbathechase #bugbroafrica finale!!!! http://instagram.com/p/dcjlxhBQ9_/ 
 Huddah made everyone gasp as she did morning exercises in her swimwear and Denzel, oh Denzel! Known for walking around in his boxer shorts all day, Biggie had to step in and tell the Ugandan to start wearing clothes.
Botswana’s Oneal
Besides being one half of The Chase’s most popular couple Oneza, Oneal had fans across the continent talking about his catch phrase: “At this particular juncture”.
He’s made this phrase so popular, that after he was evicted from the Ruby House, fans adopted this one-liner in every day conversation.

No Wedding Bells Just Yet for Dillish- Says BF


Despite a report in a local weekly, Steve Gaeseb, also known as Izinyoka, has dispelled any notions that he was going to pop the question upon Dillish’s Big Brother Africa exit. Although some may have even expected Gaeseb to get down on one knee and pop the question as he got up on the BBA live stage, all he brought out was a diamond encrusted tiara.
Speaking to The Namibian right after his girlfriend was announced as the winner of the reality show, Gaeseb said even though he does have intentions of marrying Dillish one day, it won’t be any time soon.
“Yes. We have been together for a long time and I do plan on marrying her one day but not now. Maybe from next year or so,” he said.
The record label owner and businessman also said he was not all that surprised by Dillish’s conduct throughout the game, saying that that is how he knows her.
“It isn’t really surprising to me that she managed to be faithful throughout the 91 days as she has been faithful to me throughout the five years we have been together.”
Dillish surely made Gaeseb proud by going three months without falling prey to all the advances from the male housemates. Apart from that, she also avoided any serious confrontations and scandalous behaviour during her stay.
Regarding various negative rumours that have plagued the couple and will surely not go away with Dillish’s new-found continental stardom, Gaeseb is unfazed by it all. “I am a very humble man who has been through a lot in my life. I deal with people all the time so I don’t get angry easily,” said Gaeseb who added that the fact that he studied psychology also helps him deal with all of this.

Sammy B slams Big Brother Critics


Former Ghanaian Big Brother housemate Sammy B has slammed critics of the Big Brother Africa Programme. He believes many of those who criticize the Programme are hypocrites.

Samuel Kwame Bampoe as he is known outside showbiz explained the essence of the Big Brother Programme to Ultimate Radio’s Bernard Buachi prior to this year’s finale which saw Ghana’s Elikem place third on Sunday.

He says the programme is all about how people of different cultures and backgrounds co-exist and manage stress as well as boredom.

The entertainer vehemently denied that the Big Brother Programme promotes nudity and immorality.

“You should know how immoral a lot of the people who promote Big Brother are. Check what is going on in the country, check what is happening to our young ladies, check our universities, check our hostels, would you like to compare that to big brother?”

He also draws attention to the fact that the programme is appropriately rated for a certain age bracket.

Sammy B says being locked up for ninety days without TV, clocks or other sources of entertainment, brings up various ways of “killing” stress and surviving in the house.

He says being a mate in the Big Brother House is a lifetime opportunity Ghanaians should not hesitate to grab.

Arena: The Final Showdown


This afternoon, the Housemates faced off in their final Airtel Arena Showdown.
They were kitted out in full diving gear, including a wetsuit, flippers and goggles. Each Housemate had to pick a t-shirt that matches the colour of one of the baskets that were decked out in the Airtel Arena.
The aim of the game was to have the Housemates fill up their baskets with the colourful plastic that were in a big basket at the end of their obstacle course but the catch was that each one of them could only could only carry three balls to their basket at a time.
Due to a ankle injury, Beverly had to watch the fun from the side-lines as Cleo,Dillish,Elikem and Melvin that made their way through the wet and slippery obstacle course.
The Nigerian did make her own contribution to the group by playing cheerleader to her fellow Chasemates and providing colourful commentary from the side-lines. Her fellow Rubies did not seem to mind her though and everyone looks to have had a blast.

Maria Nepembe has declares Loving Elikem

Namibian Star and Big Brother evicted housemates, Maria Nepembe has declared she loves Ghana’s representative, Elikem Kumordzi who is highly-tipped to make history as the first Ghanaian to win Big Brother Africa.

“I love him. He is really a good person…Elikem and I were pretty close. We were extremely close. I love him; he is really a good person,” Maria told ‘News-One’ in an exclusive interview on Monday evening.
