I Left Nollywood To Start A Family – Nollywood Actress, Rita Nzelu

After about eight years break, Nollywood actress, Rita Nzelu, speaks on her come-back plans.

At a time when Nigeria’s bubbly movie industry was picking up for what it has become today, several of its pioneers left the terrain. One of such is Rita Nzelu, who ‘disappeared’ almost a decade ago.
Nzelu was one of the popular actresses in those days, giving people the impression that she would be around for a while. It however came as surprise to many when she was no longer appearing in movies on a regular basis and nobody knew where she was.
But unlike some others, who left the industry in search of the proverbial Golden Fleece, Nzelu – who left for the United Kingdom – says hers was to raise a family.
“My leaving,  when I did, was not intentional. I got married and needed to move, to stay with my husband and have a family once and for all. Everything happened so fast, but the good thing is that I have been up-to-date with happenings in the industry,” she says.
The industry has over time seen some of its practitioners leaving for other professions. Talented actress, Regina Askia, for instance, is said to have gone into the medical profession, serving as a nurse in the US. But Nzelu, who in her early days,played roles in blockbuster movies such as Living in Bondage and Nneka the Pretty Serpent, says she gave herself eight years to raise a family and return to the industry.
She explains, “God created the world with a spoken word, so when people speak, it does come into existence. I said I’m going for an eight-year break. It came to reality, because when it was close to eight years, I started putting things together. My coming back was something I planned for before leaving,” she says.
Nzelu, who notes that she also runs a beauty salon in London, is returning to the industry that brought her fame, this time, not just as an actress but a movie producer. The actress, who is ecstatic about her new movie, International Games, says she is happy to be back.
She missed Nollywood, she says with nostalgia. According to her, anyone who had passion for acting and has left the industry for any reason will miss a lot; from the experience on set to working with different people and learning from them in the process. She adds that she is also happy with the progress of the industry.
“When I was in Nollywood, it was good. Today, it is growing and we are becoming important in the world. In the next few years, a new generation will bring new styles to improve the industry more. But so far so good, Nollywood has done so well,” she notes.
Talking about her new ‘come back’ movie, International Games – with cast such as Ghanaian star actress, Jackie Appiah and British actor, Gareth McChlery – Nzelu says it is difficult for her to describe it but will rather term it as “amazing”.
“I thought I should do a good movie that would be good for Africans home and abroad. The story talks about everything that happens day-to-day abroad but most importantly about African culture,” she states.
She explains that International Games tells the story of Mma, a Nigerian illegal immigrant whom she uses to tell tales of Africans and what happens when two cultures meet.
 Having produced International Games in London, Nzelu says she is also looking forward to coming back home, where it all started to produce more movies.
But having left the industry for a long time, enough for a new crop of artistes to emerge on the scene, would Nzelu cope with the competition and retain her status in the industry?
She notes, “Entertainment is about proving yourself and doing what you know how to do. You can imagine Elizabeth Taylor having to act alongside the younger generation despite her experience and fame. I will not feel funny acting with the new artistes at all.”

Ten Ways To Know If A Woman Likes You


Here are the top ten ways women flirt with men that they don’t notice. After all, some men can be a little clueless.

1. Body Language
Body language is difficult for some men to understand. One would think that ‘crossing and uncrossing your legs’ is a pretty obvious flirting method, especially if you’re wearing a pair of really high heels. It’s a very sexy approach, but some men are too insensitive to realize its considered flirting! If you flirt using body language, you should think of a different approach that all men pick up on. Try a method that involves body contact, like brushing his arm if he makes a funny joke.

2. Twisting Your Hair
Men are usually in their own world. If they see a pretty girl, they notice her, but they don’t always pay attention to all the details. Using your hair to be flirtatious is something that men usually aren’t aware of. This can come across as a nervous twitchy habit, instead of something that’s sexy. You don’t need to constantly run your fingers through your hair to get a man’s attention just smile.



3. Freshening Up
Not many men notice every little detail about a woman. If they did, we wouldn’t love them as much as we do. If you go to the bathroom to brush your hair halfway into a conversation, they won’t notice. Put as much effort into your appearance as you want before you meet them but it’s better to focus your energy on making great conversations. Save the hair brushing for when you get home.

4. Winking
If you wink at a man, he might think you have a tick. It will get his attention but it won’t leave him thinking you are a sultry seductress. Winking isn’t something that a woman should do. Friends can wink at ladies, but if you want to flirt with a man, don’t wink at him.

5. Laughing At Everything He Says
Laughing can be a great way to flirt – who doesn’t love that ego boost of meeting somebody that finally “gets it.” But if you are speaking to a man and you laugh at everything he says, you’ll only confuse him aside from coming off just plain silly. He’s going to wonder what’s actually so funny.

6. Trying To Make Him Jealous
One terrible way to flirt with someone is to try to make them jealous. Immature men or drama kings may pick up on this, but the mature ones will see right through it. Besides, most guys are too stupid to realize you’re trying to make them jealous. So step up your game and act your age. Using jealousy as a flirting tactic is for children.

7. Keep The Compliments To Yourself
Compliments are like alcohol. They are good in moderation but disastrous in excess. You can compliment a guy on his outfit but you don’t need to tell him how hot he is 10 times. Plus, chances are if you compliment someone as a way of flirting, they will most likely just think you are just being nice. Come up with a more obvious way of flirting that even clueless men will notice.

8. Facebook Flirting
In today’s day and age, Facebook has become a way to meet people. Its a sad fact, but true. If you send someone a flirty message on Facebook, they most likely wont realize that you are flirting with them. Some people don’t check their messages or they don’t always respond. Don’t send flirty messages like you’re scared. Save the flirting for real life.

9. Chomping on Your Gum
Chewing gum isn’t sexy. If you try to be s*xual with your gum to pick up a guy, he will most likely think something is wrong with you. Gum chewing should be saved for your guy friends not to impress a man you like.

10. The Goodnight Text
Sending someone you are casually dating a goodnight text isn’t flirting, its just needy. They will view you as a typical girl instead of thinking you are flirting with them. Save your flirting for in person meet-ups, it’ll be much more effective than a text message.

Okay ladies, now you are clued into some techniques that men don’t consider flirting. So, don’t waste your time sending out the wrong signals. Men don’t notice them. Get out there and get your flirt on with that man you admire!

NDLEA: Baba Suwe Goes To Supreme Court

Ace Nigerian actor, Mr Babatunde Omidina, a.k.a. Baba Suwe has filed an appeal at the Supreme Court against the decision of the Court of Appeal to quash the N25 million awarded as damages to him against the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.
Baba Suwe’s counsel, Bamidele Aturu filed the appeal at the Supreme Court on Friday.
Aturu is seeking an order from the Supreme Court setting aside the decision of the Court of Appeal and affirming the decision of the lower court.

The High Court of Lagos had ordered the NDLEA to pay Baba Suwe N25 million as damages after he was incarcerated for many days for alleged possession of hard drugs, but the Appeal Court set aside the High Court’s judgment in the matter.
In the appeal filed, Baba Suwe contended that the Court of Appeal ought to have affirmed the High Court judgement since the NDLEA has no power under the Constitution or under any law to keep a person in detention without bringing him to court within the period provided for in section 35 of the Constitution.
He argued that the fact that the respondent claimed to be investigating the allegation of commission of crime against the Appellant is not a warrant for breaching the unambiguous provision of section 35 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended, saying that the evidence that another person who was arrested three days after the arrest of the Appellant excreted on the second and third day 60 wraps of drugs.
“That the Appellant did not excrete any banned substance ought to have led the Court of Appeal to conclude that the detention of the Appellant for 19 days was unreasonable.
“There was no legally admissible basis to justify the detention of the Applicant beyond the period stipulated in section 35 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended.
The safeguard provided by law against a suspect absconding is bail and not indefinite detention without trial as suggested by the Court of Appeal,” he stated. ~ PM News

"My Husband Gets Jealous When Other Guys Kiss Me" - Omotola Reveals

It is no doubt that not many men would allow their wives to take up acting as profession and the reason is not far-fetched. With the jealous nature of men, it is very rare to see a man accepting another man cuddling or touching his wife all in the name of acting or practising a profession she likes.
That is why it is very common in this part of the world to see actresses dumping acting shortly after getting married. Most of the men they marry tend to kick against the profession after they must have said ‘I do’.
Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, who is married to a pilot, Capt Mathew Ekeinde is one of the sexiest screen divas in the movie industry in Nigeria, and most men would like to do anything to have for keeps.
When in front of the camera, the mother of four delivers and interprets her role to the letter. When it comes to romantic scenes, she gives her all in making her character looks real, which surprises most of her fans, who wonder how her husband takes such scenes when he stumbles on them.

How Life Has Turned For Pastor Chris Okotie's Estranged Wife


This ravishingly beautiful lady, Stephanie Henshaw, seemed to have struck gold when she married Pastor Chris Okotie at an elaborate twin ceremonies a few years ago. So in love were the duo that many thought it was too real to be true. He showered her with attention and gifts.
This remained the state of things of their love until things turned ugly...
Following their controversial break up, Pastor Okotie not only retrieved the car gifts he bought for her when the going was good, he stripped her of all other privileges she used to enjoy as his wife, since then, life has not been easy for Stephanie as she now struggle to get the least of things,
you just can't believe even if I mention them. Sadly, the mother of three is almost a shadow of her old self.

And according to a Punch report, Stephanie, who is said to reside with her sister in Lagos, was sighted in a "not-so-posh" part of town recently riding in a taxi.

I wish her husband can take her back and end her 'stress'. Is this possible?

I dare not mess up; my husband is an army officer—Nollywood actress Keji Yusuf


Popularly called Aunty Keji by her fans, friends and colleagues, crossover actress Keji Yusuf has spanned over two decades in the Nigeria movie industry and still in high demand. As wife of a retired Colonel, cutting her acting tooth under the tutelage of veteran actor Lai Ashadele is the best thing to happen to her. In this interview with
MERCY MICHAEL, Aunty Keji speaks passionately about Nollywood marriages, her staying power among other things:

YOU are still relevant after over two decades. How does it make you feel knowing that some of your contemporaries are no longer in the game?

It’s just the grace of God, nothing else but the grace of God.

Tell us about your foray into the industry?

It’s been over twenty years ago I started acting. I started with the English genre. I was mentored by Uncle Lai Ashadele. Then, we used to do TV series on NTA2 Channel 5. The series were mostly centered on Child abuse. We tried to educate parents on the menace of child abuse. But as time went by I thought of going to be part of the Yoruba genre. It was at that point that I joined Odunfa Caucus. That was where I met Yinka Quadri.

In recent times, you’ve been featuring in a lot of English soaps, any particular reason for this?

Not at all, I’m an actress and I can interpret my role in both English and Yoruba language. Most of our counterpart in the English side of Nollywood, most of them think we don’t understand English and that’s why we stick to just Yoruba movies but that is so not true. And that why some of us participate in English soaps to prove to them that we understand English, yes we do. I can’t stop acting Yoruba movies. I’ll keep doing both of them.

You play the role of a rich woman most of the time. Why?

(Laughs) won ti ri mi, won ti ri irawo mi (they’ve seen my glory that royalty is what I deserve) But that is not to say I’ve not act a wretch sometime. In those days when we started acting we used to go to thick remote areas, wear tattered Ankara; I still have some of those pictures at home. If you see them you will be shocked that I have acted those kinds of roles before. I have played many of such roles. In those days there was no money in acting, nothing but we kept doing it for the passion.

You’ve spent over two decades in this industry. What is your take on Nollywood?

Hmmm, well we are learning everyday and our prayers is that God should crown our efforts with glory so that we can get to the Promise Land because we are not there yet. However, there is being lot of improvement. So many as a matter of fact but we can only beg God for more wisdom to take us to the Promise Land, where will do just one movie or two movie and will be able to afford the good things of life. When you are well paid, you can buy a car, change your car and do other things. I pray that God will take us there and I know He will.

Why do you think we have a lot of marriage crash in the industry?

Acting as a profession is not a problem. People think it is the job that is corrupting our ladies but, no rather some of them are the ones who allow the job to corrupt them. And they are not patient enough. A man can be as small as a midget, he’s still a man. And he will demand his respect. And once you’re not ready to give him he will snap back at you.

So you must be extremely patient to be in the theatre world and at the same time be married or have a husband. Patient is of great importance. And they must take this into cognizant or else homes will continue to break but God forbid. There is no time they will not settle down. If you have a child and you leave your husband, you have another one, you leave, where are you going to? If you think you are young now and you don’t care, in your old age, you need a man. I’m telling you from experience, my husband is a retired colonel.

When he wakes up in the morning to go to his office, after his retirement he went into private practice, when he wakes in the morning to go to his office, he wakes me up and says, “My dear come let’s take tea together”. He would have brought out cucumber, slice bread, butter and everything. While I’m spreading butter over the bread, he is cutting the cucumber. That is the truth. It’s very interesting.

So marriage can be that interesting?

Yes, it can be that interesting. Marriage can be interesting but it takes a lot of patience to get to that stage. This is my first son standing beside you, so where am I going? All I look forward to now is for him to settle down and give me grand children. But if I wasn’t patient I wouldn’t be able to tell this story.

You quarrel today, you leave, you quarrel tomorrow the husband leaves, the child will be the one to suffer it but if you are patient, at the end it is joyful. But you need to be patient with your husband, afterall; you met each other and loved each other that’s was why you came together.

There are situations where a man will ask his actress wife to quit her job. If she leaves in that situation do you blame her?

Some men do that and it is not go because it was in the cause of doing her job that you met her. It was in her acting professional that you saw and admired her and that was why you married her. Truth is, if acting is your passion it gives you happiness. So why would any man ask his actress wife to quit her job? That is bad. In fact it is wicked. But if at any point, you find yourself in that situation; it is your home first before your career. There is a way to handle such situation.

Talk to him nicely and he will relax. He will give you conditions though, you just abide by it. Later he will relax especially if he sees you are behaving well. You have to make sure you keep him abreast of what is going on as regards your job. And if he sees you are behaving well and if he doesn’t hear any dirty rumour about you, he will relax with time and give you the free hand.

Talking about dirty rumour, it’s not only the younger actresses that have been fingered to mess up even elderly ones we hear do too…

Well, sometime too it’s true but sometime too it’s not true. But I don’t fall in that league. I have never had any sure scandal because I know whom am married to, Ologun ko gbo come, go lo gbo (Soldier no dey here come, na go dem understand). So if you go and misbehave and he finds out it is problem for you. I dare not.

What are some of things being a celebrity has deprived you?

Sometime you stumble on an Amala joint, where corporate people go do and queue up to eat but as a known figure, it is impossible for you to walk in there and eat like every other person that’s one of the pains of being a celebrity. The best you can is to ask someone to go and buy for you in a plate but for you to eat it the way it is being serve there you can’t. But no matter how you want to look at it the gain is more than the pain. Stardom opens doors if you know your way.
Would you say you are fulfilled?

Yes, acting for me is fulfilling.

BIG BROTHER AFRICA SEASON 8-The Chase: Will Nando And Selly Last?


What’s the point of attempting a relationship when two people want different things? Are the attempts made merely to send a certain point across or are there genuine feelings that could possibly develop into something real? And if it’s real, is the hook up going to last? These are the questions any doubtful person pursuing a relationship would ask themselves.
First of all, we haven’t discovered whether Selly and Nando’s hook up
is for real, let alone whether it will last. So the pair spent time before they slept talking about what they both expect from each other. Selly wasn’t entirely sure what she wanted from Nando as the lines were a bit blurry. Being the girl that she is, she was a tad unsure of where she stood with Nando, knowing fully well that the Tanzanian simply wanted to get laid and the rest would sort itself out. For any woman, this can get frustrating especially when you’ve put your game aside and gone all the way with a guy.
So now Selly decided she wanted to go back to the Ruby House, so she told Sulu this at the Channel O Party. Sulu was all nonchalant about her decision and thus told her that she should stay with the Diamonds. Poor Selly might have felt displaced there for a second. On the one hand, you have a guy who doesn’t really care whether you stay or go because he’s fulfilled his mission and on the other you have a friend who no longer cares about what you do. Talk about making your bed.

Home Destroyers: 16 Nollywood Actresses Who Have Ruined Other People’s Marriages

Home Destroyers: 16 Nollywood Actresses Who Have Ruined Other People’s Marriages

This dark-skinned Akwa Ibom-born screen goddess has made her mark in the Nigerian movie industry and is among the foremost actresses who have become the nightmare of many married couples. Though she is now married, many women are still skeptical of her repentance, as they still see her as a threat. When she was still single she was reported to have got herself entangled with married men but the biggest of them all was when she entered into a relationship

with a married man which eventually led to the dissolution of the marriage and the man deciding to marry her instead.

Ini, as her friends call her, is said to be a lady who would get any man she desired. She settled for Philips Ehiagwina, an America-based Nigerian. This resulted in Philips divorcing his wife, Ruth Okoro who had sacrificed so much for him. Philips marriage to Ini means Ruth’s once happy home has been destroyed.

Oby Edozien

Newly married Oby has had her share of being responsible for destroying relationships. The most recent is that of Nigerian musician Alex Ohas, who was popularly called Alex O during his heyday in the Nigerian music industry. She eventually tied the knot with Alex recently. It was revealed that Alex was married to Fathima Aboobaker, a South African lady of Asian background, years back. The story is that Alex met Fathima in Singapore more than 10 years ago when he was still struggling to make ends meet and she not only stood by him then, but also assisted him and this moved him to walk her down the aisle in 2001.

The union was blessed with a child. Oby, however, stepped into the scene when Alex travelled on what appeared to be a sincere business trip to Nigeria, where he met the actress who hooked him, to the detriment of his family in South Africa. Months later, a secret wedding was organized for the two and that eventually exposed the plot and she came out to express her side of the story.

Though many would want to absolve Oby Edozen of any wrong doing as some of her associates claim she was totally in the dark about the whole thing, it is certain she knew that Alex was married but would rather marry him out of her desperation. Oby, it could be recalled, had a quarrel with her closest pal Tricia Esiegbe at a time. Sources close to the two claim the disagreement was because Tricia was suspecting her pal of making advances at her man and the ensuing melee made headlines then.

Though the two reconciled after Tricia’s wedding to her man, the pain suffered by Oby made her desperate, which was the reason she stuck to her guns to go ahead with her wedding to Alex, even when it became obvious she would be breaking a once happy woman’s home.


 Benita Nzeribe

She might have gone out of circulation in the make-believe industry as she hardly features in movies of late, but beautiful Benita will have her name written in gold in the book of those who have dated married men and may still be doing it. Just like her colleagues in the movie industry, many men will do anything to have her, and to compound matters for her, she is as beautiful naturally as she is onscreen, which must have been the reason her name comes up from time to time as one of the actresses men would do anything to go out with. And many of her suitors, we are informed, are married men.

Though she has not been particularly linked to any home that has been broken, she came close to doing that when the wife of a guy she was dating at a time got wind of the affair. This forced the wife to confront her husband, who quickly denied knowing Benita aside watching her on screen. She had to hurriedly quit the affair.

 
Lola Alao

Many see this actress as the leader of Yoruba actresses in the industry. Lola Alao it was who linked other actresses to Oshodi big boy and treasurer of the Lagos branch of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), MC Oluomo, who was at a time linked with another actress, Tayo Odueke, popularly called Sikiratu Sindodo.

In fact it was Lola who influenced their separation. Apart from joining and separating lovers which Lola is known for, she has also got herself into playing lead role in the business of breaking homes. She was at a time said to be pregnant for one Biodun Bodunrin, a Holland-based Nigerian who is married with kids.

Though she came out to refute the claim, industry watchers say she actually had something with the man that nearly tore apart his marriage. Another of such was her relationship with Gbenga Bankole, popularly called Gbenga Astoria, of the Astoria Catering World.

Gbenga who is happily married tried his best to keep the affair secret but was forced to pull out of the affair when he realized Lola wanted more than a secret relationship and this was about to cause crisis in his marriage. She was also at a time said to be having it good with a tall dark-skinned producer in the industry who goes by the name Ameen, even when she was aware that he was married. Quite interestingly, Lola plays the lead character when the script is on dating married men.

 Anita Joseph

This beautiful actress may have parted ways with her former lifestyle of controversy, but as the saying goes, “If a sculptor decides he’s not carving again, the ones he had carved will remain forever”, aptly fits this sexy actress who may not have been privileged to destroy marriages but has played her part in tearing apart some relationships.

Anita was said to have played a part in the break-up of the relationship of another sultry actress, Empress Njamah with her then music star boyfriend Timaya. Anita, in an interview at that time said that she was having an affair with the musician and this statement might have been the beginning of the end of the whole thing. She also played a prominent role in the separation of another actress, Ebube Nwagbo from yet another musician, KC of the KC Presh fame.

Despite her knowledge that Ebube was having an affair with KC, Anita decided to join the party as she also began a relationship with the music act. Though she later opted out of the relationship, the affair has been responsible for the disaffection between the two actresses up till now.

 
Grace Amah


Petit but beautiful best describes this cross-over actress, who acts in both English and Yoruba films. Grace is a good interpreter of movie scripts and if information at our disposal is anything to go by, she also knows how to interpret the script of putting spanner in the wheels of married families in real life.

Her major issue started when she became pregnant and she could not disclose the identity of the father of her child. Information, however, was that the light-skinned actress might have been plotting her way to breaking a happy home when she chose to conceive and have a baby for a man who is already married with four kids, against her claim that the man is in London.

Those in the know argue that the man is actually working with the National Assembly in the country’s capital city of Abuja and that she chose to hide his identity because she had not perfected her skills of winning over the man to the extent that he would divorce his wife for her. This revelation has finally initiated the innocent looking Grace to the league actresses who are skilled in wreaking havoc on marriages.

Nkiru Sylvanus

Against all odds, she has been winning contracts and endorsements she may after all not be deserving of. Light-skinned Nkiru, we can say, has had more than a fair share of controversies, which climaxed recently with her closeness to Rochas Okorocha. She was suspected to be dating the businessman who later became the governor of Imo State.

The suspicion got to a peak when she decided to relocate from her Enugu base to Abuja where Rochas was living in order to make him accessible to her at short notice; and when he later became the governor of his state she expectedly moved to the East. Nkiru was later appointed as a special adviser to the governor, a decision which nearly caused crisis between the governor and his wife but for the intervention of some elders who prevailed on her to reject the appointment.

Nkiru who has remained single even when her peers are either married or living as single parents, we were told, has been using her affair with the governor to win many things and she may be dreaming of one day becoming the wife of the man with the title of “Owelle” at the expense of his immediate family.

Bisi Komolafe

She took the Yoruba movie industry by storm. Coming from Odunfa Caucus, a group headed by Yinka Quadri and Taiwo Hassan popularly called Ogogo, it took little or no time for Bisi to shoot to limelight, and her emergence brought about her association with controversies.

She was first said to be warming the bed of Yinka Quardri. This relationship went on for some time even with her full knowledge that the man is married with kids almost her age before she finally she decided to end it and switch to another married man, Olasco, who is one of the Yoruba film marketers. Recently Bisi, who had previously not been successful in perfecting the art of destroying marriages, may at last have.

It was in the news that she got engaged last December to one Babatunde Ijaodola, a father of two – a boy and a girl. Bisi was said have been dating the guy who got married to his heartthrob Niniola in 2007 and relocated to Canada with their two kids. Problem started when Tunde met Bisi on the pretext of friendship only for him to decide years after to end his marriage to his wife and in place take Bisi as wife.

A close source said he has started divorce proceedings against his wife and the once happy home is now on the verge of collapse. And it is known that the whole issue started after Tunde met Bisi.

 
Uche Iwuji

It is no news that this light-skinned graduate of creative arts from the University of Lagos may be one actress that is wayward. Her nude picture while a student at the University of Lagos speaks volume, and her lifestyle in the make-believe industry is also nothing but controversial. It is therefore no surprise that Uche has been fingered in many reports as one who sees nothing bad in having relationships with married men. News was rife recently that Uche may have terminated a 19-week pregnancy only for her to come out to clear the air over the issue, stating that it was meant to be a surprise to all as she was pregnant for her lover and that she had a miscarriage rather than abortion.

It was however confirmed that Uche was actually pregnant for one Raphael, a Nigerian based in Spain who incidentally is married to another woman over there. The plan, according to a close source, was for Raphael to find a way of divorcing his wife who is a European citizen, and marry Uche who met the guy sometime in 2010 and has always been in his company anytime he’s around, not minding that he was married since she was aware of the plan to divorce the first wife for her.

 
Iyabo Ojo

Many would want to say she is fashionable but it is a fact that she’s fashion crazy. Iyabo was among the first set of Yoruba actresses to use contact lens and artificial eye lashes. She is known for her exploits and role interpretation in the industry, which means she gets roles frequently. Although she already has kids from a previous marriage, she is still desired by many men and that may have informed why both married and single men within and outside the movie circle are always gunning for her. Iyabo has also had her fair share of people who would dump their wives for her.

There was an incident where an actor in the industry whom Iyabo left for another was bitter and was said to have shed tears over his lost love. The actor who has two other brothers in the make-believe industry was even said to have walked up to Iyabo to declare that he would chase his wife out of their home only if she would agree to move in. But Iyabo, who has since accepted him back, would not do that. She said she would rather live outside so the wives would not be looking at her as a threat to their happy marriages

Nadia Buhari

Though she is not of Nigerian descent, mullato and beautiful Nadia cut her teeth in the Nigerian movie industry popularly called Nollywood. Many men, we were informed, have been smitten by the beauty of this Ghana-born actress whose role interpretation complements her beauty. Just like Delilah, Nadia has from time been involved with different married men one of which is the owner of Orange Drugs, makers of Delta Soap which Nadia was at a time modeling for.

It was while with the company that she met ex-Miss Delta Soap, Steph-Nora Anusionwu and in the process got to know her husband Joseph Tomowu, a politician and oil and gas mogul and before one could say “Nadia”, she was in his bed, and they’ve been enjoying each other’s company.

Steph-Nora was said to have got wind of the affair and reported it to Tony Ezenna, the owner of the company that brought the two together. It is still unknown if the company acted based on Nadia snatching the husband of Steph-Nora or for cheating on their boss –who she was also dating – but her contract with the company was terminated.

One of the talented thespians in Nollywood, Bukky Wright has created so many controversies both in the entertainment circle and the real world. She is one of the most beautiful faces in Nollywood. Busybodies say she has even caused commotion among men who wanted to date her, through diabolical means. Recently the media was agog over her dating more than four men. She has created havoc in several marriages as most of the men she has dated in her entire life are married men.

A couple of years ago, there was a controversy between light-skinned Bukky Wright and another Nollywood actress, Fathia Balogun over a movie marketer, Alhaji Abdulrazak Abdullahi, the Corporate Pictures boss. This we learnt created friction between these two actresses which is still subsisting. Following that was the affair she had with one of her colleagues in the movie world who is now member of the House of Representatives, Rotimi Makinde. We learnt she created disarray in his marriage of many years.

She also succeeded in breaking Bolaji Basia’s home. With the intention of securing a green card through him, she used all the available means within her reach and at last she succeeded in tying him down.

FUNKE AKINDELE

Talented thespian cum producer Funke Akindele, popularly called “Jennifer”, is one of the most sought after babes in the movie world. A couple of years ago the “Omo Ghetto” producer was alleged to have brought havoc to the home of fellow Nollywood actor whose father’s name is also synonymous with acting. Though we can’t picture where it all started from, we gathered that both thespians were on various occasions sighted at odd hours at different hotels. But Funke denied it.

No sooner had the affair started than we learnt she conceived for the barrister-turned-actor, and we gathered the wife who bore three lovely kids for this dark-skinned movie producer had to move out of their home so Funke could have easy access to Femi’s heart.

The scenario generated a whole lot of controversy and different people had diverse things to say about the affair. While some friends suggested they should go on with the affair since they were in love with each other, others had contrary opinion. But what we can grab in this whole issue is that the dark-skinned actress succeeded in ousting the wife from home.

Former Association of Nigerian Theatre Act Practitioners (ANTP) president, who happens to be the father of the actor, was said to have settled the matter and nothing was heard about the two lovebirds again. Busybodies also said she has also dated one of the Super Eagles defenders who is a left footer, though it crashed no sooner than it started. She is still very single at the moment but she has not let this to weigh her down.

 
Mercy Johnson

Her wedding was one of the most talked about in year 2011, not because of the way it was planned or the amount of money she spent towards making the ceremony a huge success but the controversy it generated.

It all started like a dream. In the heat of the preparation for her white wedding, a lady, Lovely Okojie surfaced to declare that Mercy was planning to get married to her husband of many years. In the face of the controversy, Mercy and Prince Odionese, the groom, quickly secured a divorce and all the wedding proceedings went ahead as planned. She got married on the 27th of August 2011 but amid tight security. Several people were prevented from coming to the venue because Lovely threatened to disrupt the ceremony.

Prior to the wedding scandal, this sexy thespian had been labeled with different allegations. Rumour has it that Mercy is in love with traditional juju medicine, that she uses it for men that come her way, most especially the married ones. She was alleged to have aborted a pregnancy for a man called Obi, and had a sizzling romance with Ibrahim Damuje who people believe has many skeletons in his closet. She was also accused of destroying the marriage of a movie marketer named Victor, who abandoned his wife so Mercy could have easy access to his heart.

Whilst she was staying with fellow Nollywood actress cum presenter, Trisia Asiegbe, another controversy ensued between them because Mercy was alleged to have collected a huge amount of money from Tunde Akinyera, personal assistant to the chairman of telecommunication giants in Nigeria, Globacom, Dr. Mike Adenuga. This got Trishia infuriated because she was at the same time warming another man’s bed in Park View Estate.

 Tayo Odueke (Sikiratu Sindodo)

Popular skin-toning Nollywood actress, Tayo Odueke (popularly called Sikiratu Sindodo – a name she got from one of the movies she featured in), was one of the most sought-after actresses in Nollywood before the sickness that almost claimed her life. Though she is back on her feet now and doing good, that is not the news for today.

This University of Lagos alumnus was alleged to have dated popular Nollywood actor cum producer, Kunle Afod when he just got married, though the affair crumbled like a pack of badly arranged cards because she was not all that dedicated to it. No sooner had the illicit relationship crashed than popular National Union of Road Transport Worker (NURTW) big boy, Musiliu Akinsanya popularly called MC Oluomo swept her off her feet. She was bought a Murano Jeep and this caused a lot of hullabaloo between Sikiratu and the man’s wives, who were scared because she was being over-pampered even as a concubine. Because of her closeness to MC Oluomo, other wives were ignored and this got them infuriated. It was rumoured she had more than two miscarriages; MC Oluomo’s wives tried to use this as a reason to force her to leave their hubby, but she refused. However, those in the know believe this could have been part of her reason for leaving the NURTW big shot as she couldn’t conceive

Ex-beauty queen cum actress, Ibinabo Fiberisima is the mother of five kids for different men. The light-skinned lady who was once arrested and jailed for killing a medical doctor while driving, bore a daughter for Nollywood actor and producer Fred Amata, though the relationship collapsed soon after it started. What still remains a puzzle to many is how and when the relationship started in the first place as they were rarely together. They were so discreet about it until the divorce between Fred and Agatha Amata came to the open..

We recall the marriage between Fred and the “Inside-out” presenter Agatha collapsed due to irreconcilable differences after she bore him two lovely kids. And Ibinabo claims the affair started after the break-up. Busybodies are however claiming the sizzling relationship had been on between these two lovebirds before the separation between husband and wife.

After separating from estranged hubby, Saheed Balogun, beautiful mother of two, Faithia Balogun was rumoured to have dated several men, in the bid to sustain her career in the movie world. After the break-up many thought she would quit acting because she came into the entertainment industry through Walata – Saheed Balogun. She was alleged to be sleeping with movie marketer and Corporate Pictures boss, Alhaji Razak Abdullahi and had on several occasions fought with other actresses because the man spent on her with reckless abandon. The fact that this man was legally married aided the affair because she wasn’t ready to settle down with another man after her break-up.

Couple of weeks back she was sighted with another Nollywood actor cum producer, Goriola Hassan, the estranged husband of big-eyed actress, Ayo Adesanya in an odd location and rumour mongers went to town with different stories regarding this alliance. Recall the relationship between Goriola and Ayo crashed after she accused Goriola of battering her, and many say Faithia has not missed the beating she received from her erstwhile husband, because Goriola also has passion for battering women.

Her relationship with her husband of many years actually collapsed because of the allegation of acts of infidelity leveled against her. She succeeded in dating baritone-voiced Nollywood actor, Funsho Adeolu who is legally married to his Akwa-Ibom wife and tall and good-looking Globacom ambassador, Odunlade Adekola while she was married.

She is one of the newest faces in Nollywood and she has carved a niche for herself in the entertainment industry, being the hottest face in the Abeokuta movie setting. But the fact that she is new in the movie world has not been a hindrance to her. Taiwo Aromokun who has featured in several Nollywood flicks was allegedly warming Odunlade Adekola’s bed, which explains why she is so favoured with roles from him.

She is also said to be enjoying the attention of National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) big shot, Musiliu Akinsanya popularly called MC Oluomo.
