    Nigerians Blame Denrele for Beverly’s BBA Escapades

    The public outrage ignited by the behaviour of Nigeria’s female representative in the ongoing Big Brother Africa reality show, Beverly Osu, is far from being over.
    Beverly has been severely criticised for allegedly having sex with South Africa housemate, Angelo Collins, in a bathtub on Friday.
    There were widespread reactions on social media as a three-minute video clip showing a naked Beverly lying atop Angelo in the bathtub went viral on the Internet.
    Nigerian viewers of the reality show, who are still sore with the young woman for her role in the sordid drama, however, seem to have transferred their anger to popular on-air personality, Denrele Edun.
    Denrele has come under intense criticism for allegedly using his position as a presenter on Channel O to get Beverly on the BBA Chase rather than giving better qualified and decent Nigerian girls the opportunity.

    To this end, the aggrieved followers of the show have pelted Denrele with messages on Twitter, blaming him for Beverly’s behaviour, which they insisted, had wrongly portrayed Nigerian women as immoral.
    Those who argued that Beverly emerged the first Nigerian BBA housemate to openly indulge in sexual intercourse, since the inception of the show, have also alleged that Denrele’s  special interest in choosing the female representatives of Nigeria in the MNET-sponsored  show had resulted in a huge embarrassment  for the entire country.
    One MZ Fab in a tweet to Denrele said, “Denrele Edun! What has Nigeria done to you that you sent your god-daughter to disgrace us? So, you didn’t teach her morals.’’
    Some users of the micro-Blogging service pointed out that Denrele should have carried out a proper check on the background of Beverly before throwing his weight behind her.

    Also, Nyoh Eddy tweeted, “I’m really disappointed in you, Denrele Edun. You knew Beverly, but you went ahead to recommend her to represent your own country, Nigeria.’’
    Another Twitter user, tweeting via @defiwa, encouraged other aggrieved Nigerians on the social network to hold Denrele accountable for Beverly’s actions. “I wouldn’t really blame anyone for insulting Denrele Edun because of Bevrely’s obnoxious actions. He has been forming voltron for her all this while. So he should enjoy the shitty side.’’
    An enraged Kazeem Musa tweeted, “You (Denrele) had better call your friend and tell her to stop embarrassing the nation.’’

    Accusing Denrele of bringing ridicule upon Nigerians, Atta Abraham pleaded with him not to give anybody whose behaviour is similar to that of Beverly a chance to participate in BBA in the future.
    But in spite of the bombardment on his Twitter handle, Denrele has refrained from responding to his critics. Instead, he has simply restricted himself to re-tweeting the same messages.
    Meanwhile, some of his friends have risen in support of him and vowed to confront those attacking him on the social network. According to them, it is pointless blaming him for Beverly’s actions since she is an adult herself and capable of making independent decisions.
    They argued that even if  Denrele had influenced Beverly’s participation in the BBA reality show, it doesn’t mean that he should be held  responsible for  her actions.
    “Nigerians should blame Beverly for her actions and leave Denrele out of it. Come to think of it, Beverly is an adult and has the right to live her life!’’  Beautiful Onyinye wrote on her Twitter handle.


    Another fellow, Josh Obi, rose in defence of Denrele. He said, “The fact that he helped Beverly fill out her form doesn’t mean he sent her to mess up. Come on people the guy just did a good deed.”
    For Zubbie Osuigwe, Denrele is blameless in the matter because giving assistance to “someone looking for job to secure an interview does not make one liable for the person’s future actions.’’
    Commenting on lailasblog.com, Oluyomi Odukoya said, “Denrele isn’t Beverly’s parents. Why should he be held responsible? Karen Igho and Goldie attended the show, did they disgrace us? No! Beverly is on her own abeg.’’
