Beverly Osu: How I joined convent, got expelled after acting lucifer on stage

Beverly Osu, the actress, says she joined a convent as a reverend sister and got expelled.

On the Tea With Tay podcast, Osu said her family asked her to join the convent in a secondary school.

She said it was their way of sending her away because she was perceived as a stubborn child.

Osu said that she agreed but later found herself expelled from the school.

Reflecting on the expulsion, Osu said that it was a result of her involvement in activities such as playing secular music and participating in stage plays, especially one where she played Lucifer.

Osu added that although the school authorities did not explicitly use the term expulsion, they asked her to continue God’s work elsewhere and never return.

“Family first said this girl is very stubborn, let us throw her in there and I just said okay,” the actress said.

“It is a secondary school ‘Daughters of Divine Love’ but you register, being a sister or not.

“Na reverend sister they picked for me so I had to follow the path but they expelled me.

“Till today, I still have small resentment like, ‘why una expel me?’ But then, I used to play secular music, I was the drum prefect and I used to do stage plays.

“Some girls woke up and said after the stage play, they were seeing me in their dreams and I am a witch because I played Lucifer.

“They expelled me because they said I was doing the most with the band, with the stage play, with not sleeping on my bed.

“They asked me to go and continue God’s work somewhere else. They did not want to say it is expulsion but they gave me a letter never to come back.”
