Having seen the latest sexcapade of Beverly Osu in the Big Brother Africa house,i would not want to judge her actions as i believe she is an adult who can jolly well do whatever she wants to do with her body. While her candour in admitting to sleeping with men for money to help her siblings is commendable,i am pretty sure she has set herself up for a potential backlash from the viewers.
All those in support of her actions should pause for a moment and imagine if she was their sister or child. Beverly and Angelo are adults, but having sex openly on television will get you a lot of viewers but in the long term,it may potential harm your image or brand if your are hoping to cash in on that after Big Brother Africa is over. The reason for this is not far fetched,our culture believe that it is not right for a well brought up man/woman to engage in sexual encounters openly. We have not evolved to the level of sexual notoriety that the developed world has gotten to. The line is quite blurred between BBA sex scenes/ showers and porn movies. This BBA has expanded the frontiers of what housemates are willing to do in order to achieve the elusive aim of winning the prize money, infact some folks in Africa believe that the show is demeaning to the African youth. Public Sex, drunkenness, backstabbing etc aren't what most African parents would wish for their kids. In the quest for money and fame, Beverly must always remember there is life after BBA. Exposing all her feminine goods to be imprinted forever on the world wide web is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Imagine in 20 years time and Beverly is married with a son and her son's friend are chuckling over watching her nude on in the internet?
I can't speak for everyone, but I will weep if she was my relative, and so will my parents if I or any of my siblings was involved in such an act. I guess it has to do with upbringing though, "train up a child in the he/she should grow, and they'll never forget when they're old". From what I've gathered, from her public confessions of abortion and prostitution etc, Beverly seems to have a rather turbulent past. I reckon Karen Igho won the money without having to disgrace her linage publicly. Despite Karen's weired ways she never bathed nude while in the house and did not engage in any sexual encounters while there.We're Africans, this isn't us. I'm no judge, but before you take a stand, imagine if she was a loved one or a family member. I'm sure she might be voted out very soon.

Beverly confessed to Angelo that she was into prostitution when her Mum was away in the US in order to cater for her siblings that speaks volumes about her outlook to life.
