Nigerian actress Beverly Osu has expressed her gratitude for not winning Big Brother Africa during her time as a housemate in 2013.
In a recent interview with HIPTV, Osu reflected on her childhood and career journey, particularly her experience on Big Brother Africa, which significantly raised her profile.
When asked by the host if she believed her lack of eviction was unfair, Osu shared that she now views her failure to win as a hidden blessing. She humorously mentioned that her mother had reservations about her winning the cash prize, fearing it might lead her down the wrong path.
Osu stated, “I’m happy I didn’t win now because there was nothing I was going to do then that was going to make me win. If the fans were praying for me to win, the woman who birthed me was praying to God that ‘If this child is going to win this money and go astray, because she has gone astray before,. If she is going to win this money and go astray, God please don’t give it to her.“
She acknowledged the positive changes in her life and career since then, admitting that she may not have had the maturity to responsibly manage the prize money at that stage in her life.
“God’s timing is the best and we are happy that now we have made more than that money. If I had the money then, I probably would not have known what to do with it then. I didn’t have the experience to make it impactful in my life so yeah, so far I’m winning in life now,” she explained.
