SOMETIMES IT IS BETTER TO LET THE TIDES TO COME AND GO....A TRIBUTE TO BEVERLY OSU!

I  just read an interview granted by Beverly Ada Osu, our controversial representative at the just concluded 2013 Big Brother Africa show tagged 'The Chase', to one of Nigeria's reputable online social media platform.
Much as her revelations were interesting, but more interesting were the almost 100 comments that trailed the post. A quick analysis of the contributors who were mostly anonymous proved beyond reasonable doubt that we, Nigerians, are a people with a shifting conscience on principles.
Only few weeks ago, comments that trailed the young adventuress' escapade at the 91 days show of immorality and crass debauchery in far away South Africa on that social media platform and many others run by Nigerians, was inundated with curses, invectives and unsavoury write-ups that gave the world an impression that our dear Beverly had done the unforgivable by 'simulating' sex with another housemate and thereby bringing our nation's sense of piety to scorn and disrepute.
The general take was like the young woman's life was going to be snuffed out if she ever set her feet on the soils of Nigeria.

Now, barely a month after her arrival and granting an interview, the generality of those who posted comments were all praises for our great ambassador who had showed 'courage' and 'sophistry' by searing our sensibilities with her lewd stunts.
So whatever remorse Beverly should have felt for such affront committed towards our national pride as a nation of people with decorum has been washed away with the near wholesale endorsement of her delivery at the Big Brother house.
So I guess the lesson I take home after all is said and done is that I am free to misbehave and wait for the judgemental Nigerian crowd to fall over themselves with their self righteous cries of 'hullabaloo' and once they tire out (which is usually sooner than later) I can come back to take back my space in the community as one of their own.
Yeah, I guess it is okay to let the tides of criticism come and go, no matter the level of wrong I do because in the end 'we all are sinners'!

  1. People underestimate the power of the media and their corporate liberal sponsors, who have an agenda to direct human consciousness to further their goal of world domination. These are mere test projects by western puppeteers to enlist Africa into mainstream liberalism. They lure impressionable and gullible young people who equate fame with greatness into going against accepted values. Their alternative lifestyle is an opium that brings with it a false sense of fulfilment, but once hooked, there is hardly a return ticket.

    These are the idols created for the propagation, and indoctrination of the next generations of Africans who will drive the total destruction of our communal common sense. And as we continue watch, and promote these kind of shows, then we have already sign our own signature in the petition to brainwash and corrupt whatever is left of our moral values. Those of you who think Nigeria will not one day legalized same-sex marriage, I am sorry to say, the recruitment and training of those ambassadors has already begun.
