BBA winner Dillish Matthews and her Namibian best friend who also contested in BBA Maria Nepembe (pictured below )
are currently in Nigeria. They came in quietly into the country a few days ago and went straight to Benin were they were hosted by Governor Adams Oshiomhole. You will recall that while in
the BBA house, Dillish used to call on Gov Oshiomhole and other Nigerian rich men like Dangote to bless her with money and change her life. Well, God changed her life by making her the winner of the 2013 Big Brother Africa competition and Governor Oshiomhole, I hear, made her richer after her courtesy visit. BBA contestants Elikem and Selly are also
In town. Dillish and Maria are currently in Abuja for another Selly’s birthday party which will hold today October 19th at Sofa Lounge.

BBA: I’m Sorry For Embarrassing Nigerians – Beverly
Nigeria's representatives in the just
concluded Big Brother Africa reality
TV show, Beverly Osu and Melvin
Oduah were presented to the media at the Protea Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos last Thursday after their triumphant return to the country.
The two ex-housemates recounted their personal experiences in the Big Brother House.
Beverly was the first to put the record straight , as she denied having sex in the House with her South African counterpart, Angelo. She however, confirmed that her relationship with Angelo was real.
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 cameramade 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 anything 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 we hat 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.
