#BBNaija: Alex suffers nip slip during Live show (photo)

Alex suffers nip slip

Alex suffers nip slip

The live eviction show tonight saw housemate, Alex suffer a wardrobe malfunction after we got to see a sneak peek of her nip.ples when it subtly found its way outta her dress.

Whether it was deliberate or the low odds that it was by mistake, Alex suffered a nip slip while she was engaged in talks with Ebuka earlier this evening.

The lovely who has an unusual personality is one of the finalists of the Big Brother Naija: Double Wahala game which will meet its end in the following week.

See her nip slip photo below:

 

In a related post, Alex during the live show had declared that there’s nothing more between Tobi and her and she doesn’t see their relationship going to the next level but Tobi, when he was asked the question akin to that of Alex, he said precisely that he would actually date Alex if given the chance.

As Ebuka engages the housemates, the following dialogue ensued:

Ebuka: Did you have a problem with Tobi and Alex getting closer?

Cee-C: Well I feel like Alex was throwing herself at all the guys in the house. Showing boobs and ass everywhere.

Ebuka: Tobi will you date Alex, if she wanted to date you.

Tobi: I won’t lie. Yes.

Alex: Ha!

*Cee-C rolls eyes.*

#BBNaija: Meet the top five finalists of “Double Wahala”.

BBNaija Top 5

BBNaija Top 5

After all said and done, the end is near for the Big Brother Naija: Double Wahala reality TV show and only five housemates are going head to head to emerge as the winner of the grand prize.

In light of this, the five housemates who are potential winners of the Big Brother show are Alex, Cee-C, Miracle, Nina and Tobi – two gentlemen and three ladies vying for the number one spot in the Big Brother Naija game.

The last eviction show earlier tonight saw Anto, Khloe and Lolu leave the big brother game leaving five housemates remaining in the Big Brother game and just one more week to go.

After their eviction, we saw the voting results and in the usual Fashion, Miracle topped the voting results with a whooping 44.33 percentage of votes, while Cee-C followed suit with a 27.88% votes, Lolu followed closely with 22.23% votes, Anto had 3.67% votes and Khloe came last with a 1.89% vote.

With the high percentage of votes on Miracle’s part, it’s obvious that the pilot has a high chance of winning the game but we’ll have to find come next week Sunday.

With this, who do you think will be winning the Big Brother game?!

Cee-C makes it to the FINAL
Alex makes it to the FINAL
Tobi makes it to the FINAL
Miracle makes it to the FINAL
Nina makes it to the FINAL

#BBNaija: How viewers voted last week.. Miracle had the highest vote

bbnaija viewers vote

The Semi-Finals of the Big Brother Naija show went down today, 15th of April, and we saw Khloe, Anto and Lolu leave the show.

The voting results are in, and in the usual Fashion, Miracle topped the voting results with a whooping 44.33 percentage of votes, while Cee-C followed suit with a 27.88% votes, Lolu followed closely with 22.23% votes, Anto had 3.67% votes and Khloe came last with a 1.89% vote.

The Top 5 FINALISTS of the show are Miracle, Tobi, Alex, CeeC and Nina.

Recall Alex won the head of house last week, and she saved Tobi. Nina also who came 4th during a “Game of chance” was also saved.

The BBNaija Finals will go down next week, April 22nd 2018, and Davido & Tekno will be performing Live at the show.

#BBNaija: Lolu, Khloe & Anto evicted from the Big Brother Naija House

BBNaija eviction show

BBNaija eviction show

Following over 20 weeks in the Big Brother house, eluding evictions and making their marks in the big brother house, Anto Khloe and Lolua have finally been evicted from the Big Brother house missing the chances of winning the Big Brother game.

It’s quite ironic as two out of them were the ones who were reinstated back into the Big Brother after their eviction from the show weeks ago.

Anto, Cee-C, Khloe, Lolu and Miracle were the housemates up for eviction in the penultimate week before the climax of the big brother game and tonight has seen Anto, Khloe and Lolu losing their chances of staying through to the finals.

We certainly hate to see them go and we certainly know that we’ll miss their stay in the house but everything must come to an end and someone has to win, it’s just quite sad that it’s not Anto, Khloe or Lolu.

With one week left in the Big brother game, it’s finally the time we’d see who’d emerge as the winner of this year’s season.

Alex, Tobi, Nina, Miracle and Cee-C have the chances of winning the game… so let’s wait another week and see what their fates will be…

 

#BBNaija: “Alex throws herself at guys in the house, shows off her bo.obs, ass” – Cee-C shades Alex

Cee-c shades Alex

Without mincing words or beating around the bush, controversial BBNaija house, Cee-C has thrown a direct jab at fellow housemate, Alex.

During the live show moments ago, Ebuka confronted both Alex and Tobi over their new found BFF relationship in the house and asked Alex specifically, if she feels the relationship could go the next level and she precisely objected and said no it won’t.

She explained that she feels that Tobi behaves the way he does towards her probably because he’s trying to spite Cee-C – recall that Tobi and Cee-C were sort of a thing during the first few weeks of the house but things didn’t go too well for both of them.

Tobi was also asked by Ebuka if he feels their relationship could be taken to the next level and he admitted that if there were the chance, he actually would.

Cee-C was then asked about the whole thingy between Tobi and Alex and according to her, she’s less concerned but is quite amused that Alex has that kinda notion towards her – she said she’s okay with it before she went on to say that she’s not surprised as Alex is the type who throws herself at the guys in the house, so it’s probably just the way it is with Tobi.

She then went on to shade Alex, saying she always displays her endowment and putting it in the faces of the guys, indirectly dubbing a th*t – we don’t know what the outcome of this shade will be but we certainly see another feud brewing between the both of them.

Fingers are crossed… arms are folded, let’s wait and see….

#BBnaija: Nigerian Man slams Nina, says ‘Cheating is a hobby for Igbo Girls’

Nigerian man slams Nina

A twitter user identified as Jeffery has taken to the micro-blogging site to slam a housemate of the ongoing reality TV show, Nina.

Jeffery cited Nina and her Igbo roots, claiming that Igbo girls are the best at being infidel.

Jeffery via his twitter handle @Villageparrot wrote; “Nina is an encapsulation of what Igbo girls are: unfaithful. No tribe beats Igbo girls at cheating. It’s a hobby. #BBNaija”

Recall that Nina had a boyfriend named collins, before she got into the big brother naija house, that did not stop her from engaging in a romantic relationship with her fellow housemate – Miracle.

Nina was also recently dragged online after she tried to set Miracle apart from her Boyfriend, She had said; “Collins is my Boyfriend, Miracle is my everything.”

#BBNaija: Lolu suffers an embarrassing boner while in bed with Anto

Lolu suffers

Lolu suffers embarrassing boner

Well after spending 77 days in the house, you cannot really blame a brother.

One of the contenders in the On-going Big Brother Naija show, Omololu Shomuyiwa, fondly called Lolu has reportedly suffered an uncontrollable boner in the house.

This was seen when one of the cameras in the house captured the moment as Lolu made to walk away from his bed owing to the uncomfortable situation as the well endowed housemate had his egg plant live on camera.

Some fans are showing him their support especially as Lolu who has been in the house for a period of three months is one of the housemates that has since abstained from sex.

Though Lolu had a one minute kiss with Anto after she returned to the house, upset that he had led her on informing her of his girlfriend outside the house, Lolu has maintained being a gentle man.

Ugandan Tribe allows Bride’s aunt to test Groom before Marriage

Ugandan tribe

Ugandan Tribe

Africa is a large continent, blessed with many tribes and cultures, from the zulu’s, to the xhosas, to the himbas, to the Igbos, Hausas and Yorubas, the diverse black continent can rightly boast of about three thousand African Tribes.

A tribe in Uganda has come under the radar, due to its way of preparing its women for marriage differs completely from other African tribes.

In many African cultures, aunties provide counselling to their young nieces as they age from adolescence to adulthood. When it comes to marriage, these aunties prepare their nieces for the challenges that lie ahead.

The question now is ‘How much influence should aunties have on their nieces?

Well, for the Banyankole people in Southwestern Uganda, the aunt does more than the above, especially during the marriage.

When a couple wants to get married, the primary responsibility of the bride’s aunt is to carry out a sexual check on both her niece and her nephew-in-law. Essentially, the aunt does this by having sex with the groom to check his potency and virility.

She also has to “test” if the bride is still a virgin before they are allowed to consummate their marriage.

In other traditions, the aunt is said to go as far as listening in or watching as the bride and groom have sex in order to prove the couple’s potency.

Inasmuch as this practice may sound weird, it shows how the people of Banyankole hold virginity in high esteem.

As soon as a Banyankole girl is eight, she goes through a lot of restrictions to prepare her for marriage.

When other children her age in other cultures are out having fun and playing, a girl in this part of Uganda is mostly kept indoors, where she is fed beef and millet porridge and forced to drink milk in large quantities so that she becomes fat.

Being fat is synonymous with beauty among the Banyankoles.

When she starts developing breasts, she is also asked by her parents to abstain from sexual activities.

It is the duty of a Banyankole father to find a wife for his son as he pays the bridewealth as well. This consists of some cows, goats and pots of beer, depending on how rich a person is.

Once the bride price is paid, the marriage preparations begin. On the wedding day, there is a lot of feasting at the bride’s home, where the father is expected to slaughter a bull.

At the bridegroom’s home, there is another feast where the marriage is consummated. This is after the bride’s aunt has “tested” her niece’s purity and slept with the groom to also check his potency.

What Do you think, Cool or Nah ?

Why I criticised my husband’s government – Aisha Buhari

Aisha Buhari explains

Aisha Buhari explains why she criticized APC

Aisha Buhari has explained that her 2016 interview which was considered to be critical of her husband’s administration was based on her sense of justice.

She made the clarification in a message she sent to the 2017 Vanguard Awards where she was honoured as Vanguard Personality of the Year 2017.

She said ; “I wish to thank the management of Vanguard Media Limited for this unexpected award, in recognition of my humanitarian efforts towards improving the health and welfare of Nigerians particularly women, children and less privileged.

One of the reasons adduced for honouring me was the interview I granted which some people saw as criticism to a government that I am part of. I need to state that my position was a result of my sense of justice and not confrontation or disrespect.

I was brought up to stand by the truth and this is how I have always been. As we are all aware, Nigerians elected this administration based on the trust and confidence they have on my husband; I, therefore, feel that we are here to serve Nigeria to the best of our ability. .

Let me use this opportunity to state that I support my husband in this call to service and will continue to do so. On this note, I hereby dedicate this award to the people of Nigeria, especially women. Thank you sincerely for this award.” .

Mrs. Aisha Buhari had in the 2016 interview with BBC, warned her husband that she might not back him at the 2019 election unless he shakes up his government. She claimed that the President did not know most of the top officials he appointed.

Pastor Adeboye is a fraud — RCCG member says

RCCG member

A RCCG member has declared the General Overseer of his Church, Pastor Adeboye, a fraud..

This is coming after a video of Adeboye saying those who don’t pay their tithes are not going to heaven.

Watch the video below:

In reaction, a twitter user, @VillageParrot has called Adeboye a fraud.. Below is what he wrote;

 

Pastor Adeboye tells pastors to tell their church members they won’t make heaven unless they pay their tithe.

One word for him: fraud!

We need to put an end to pastors blackmailing the hopeless and poor into giving what they don’t have.

Pastor Adeboye even disappoints me the most primarily because I expected more; secondarily because he’s my pastor.

This is not how Jesus Christ instructed us to live in the Bible. He taught us so much more.

What would it take Pastor Adeboye on one night to ask congregation to donate a total of N500m to build hospitals, skills development centers, sports centers, schools for IDP camps?

What would it cost Pastor Adeboye to have a special outreach to help residents of IDP Camps?

What much better way to preach the love of Christ is there than to do something for the less privileged?

The other day Pastor Adeboye announced 2 million people should be fed every Sunday. There’s a difference between feeding 2 million people and feeding 2 million HUNGRY people.

But barest minimum Twitter said that was enough.

Only thing Pastor Adeboye knows how to do is stand on that pulpit to ask people to donate billions of Naira to build more church branches.

Please, how is this any different from a business model?

Of course you’ll be right to say “taking care of IDP Camps is government’s responsibility”

…but, the Bible didn’t teach that we should leave kindness and humanity to government, so…

I read my Bible properly, through and through. I attend RCCG and I am telling you that Pastor Adeboye declaring non-payment of tithe as the ticket to hell is FRAUD!

I know many of you will come and say “How do you know Pastor Adeboye is not doing this already?”

My answer is NO! In furtherance, don’t be a fool to defend a pastor that doesn’t even know your name.

It’s time everybody came to full appreciation that churches in Nigeria are business establishments set up to extort the poor and hopeless.

“If you give your tithe, the windows of heaven will open to you…”

IT IS A SCAM!

How many rich men of this world give tithes? Dangote dey pay tithes?

Okay, I know you’ll say devil gave them that money. Shut up!

If Jesus Christ was in Nigeria, would he ignore the IDP Camps and not bring good tidings to them? Aren’t they our brothers, sisters and neighbors?

Why can’t Pastor Adeboye say “okay this month, we are raising N500m for our kinsmen in IDP Camps”?

Pastors acquiring private jets, building mansions, amassing stupendous wealth, but they’re teaching the poor masses “Heaven is your goal and home, this world is a journey”

Isn’t that fraudulent?

Look at what Sam Adeyemi, for example, has done with DayStar. See how he tries to reach as many people as he can. He teaches. He nurtures. That’s what pastors are meant to do. Not arm-twisting people into giving what they barely can get by with.

But yes, pastors have managed to cage a lot of people by “touch not my anointed” and they’ve lied to you that “touch” includes talking.

Well, all the ‘big’ pastors in this country are frauds and that’s that!

Touch not my anointed my black ass.

Pastors that take money from the same politicians that have impoverished their congregation, is that a pastor one should respect?

Pastors that take money from politicians, then are the first to call judges (a member of their church) when such politicians face charges in their court.

Nah, not today Satan.

Typical Nigerian church: – Preach prosperity – Ask for donations – Do thanksgiving – Ask for donation – Preach about tithe – Ask for donation. Money, money, money, money.

Guru Maharaji will make heaven ahead of some of your “anointed” pastors. It’ll shock you.

All the tithe RCCG has been receiving, what have they done with it?

They successfully built a school that members of their church can’t afford. School built with their hard-earned money.

If he hits you once, don’t marry him — Nigerian Lady

nigerian lady speaks

Nigerian lady speaks against domestic violence

A Nigerian motivational speaker identified as Olajumoke Rhoda has spoken up against the menace domestic violence, growing rampant country.

According to her, ladies should not marry an man who hits them during dating.

Speaking with Potpourri, Olajumoke said;

“Domestic violence against women would reduce drastically if young women would stop getting married to any man who hits them while in a relationship.”

“Ladies, please be watchful before marrying any man, because no marriage is worth your lives. I know love makes us take foolish decisions. But for me, when I see the signs I don’t wait to be proven right. My sister lost her life with her 5-month pregnancy because she kept quiet”, she said.

“I advise women going through abuse, physical or sexual assaults in marriage or relationship to come out. Speak up and seek help before it gets too late. Every woman deserves to be respected and loved by her spouse.”

“If you’re independent, its easier to walk away and start afresh, don’t make yourself an invalid in your relationship or marriage”, .

Understand that this is very difficult for me to do.

There have been multiple rumors some with evidence floating around in ALL SORTS of media in regards to Diamond’s constant cheating and sadly I have decided to end my relationship with Diamond, as my RESPECT, INTEGRITY, DIGNITY & WELL BEING cannot be compromised.

We are separating as partners but not as parents.

This doesn’t reduce me as a self-made individual, and as a caring mother, and the boss lady you have all come to know.

I will continue to build as a mogul, i will inspire the world of women to become boss ladies too.

I will teach my four sons to always respect women, and teach my daughter what self-respect means.

Unlike many, I’ve been in the entertainment industry for 12 years, and through all my challenges I came out a victor because I am a winner, and so are all of you Zari supporters.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S

All the best to them

#BBnaija : Khloe is not my fiancee – Unlimited LA

Unlimited LA

Video director, Olalekan Buhari, professionally known as Unlimited LA, raised a lot of eyebrows sometime ago when he declared that Big Brother Naija 2018 contestant, Khloe, is his girlfriend and that he is planning to get married to her soon.

Unlimited LA made the pronouncement on social media days after the competition kicked off in January.

However, in a chat with Sunday Scoop, the video director said something entirely different.

“Khloe is not my girlfriend, I was just joking when I made that post. She is just my friend. The whole thing was a publicity stunt. It isn’t her nude pictures or the bad reports about her that have made me to say she is no longer my fiancée. We have never dated. I don’t have any girlfriend; so, my post did not offend anybody close to me. “As for my taste in women, I like someone who is smart and hard-working. She also has to have a pretty face. That is what would attract me in the first place.” he said.

The funny thing is that I don’t watch Big Brother. I don’t have any interest in it and I am always very busy. It was even on Instagram that I got to know that Khloe was a contestant,” he added.

K. Michelle has revealed the trauma she is going through all because of a butt reduction surgery she had.

Michelle, via an Instagram post, spoke of how she has been in and out of the hospital because the silicone had spread all over her body.

The singer wrote;

”Jan 12 I started a journey to correct a mistake I did over 6 years ago. The first surgery went well so we thought until my body started to shut down while I was on tour. For 26 cities I was on steroids to walk and keep down infection causing me to get off stage and be rushed to ER over 4 times and then the next day back on stage.

I later found out the silicone had spread and I would be rushed back into surgery. Last Wednesday I entered surgery barely functioning with my legs and an infection. The surgery to remove all of this from me lasted a long 6 hours. The following days were spent with paramedics until i they realized my blood count was severely low and I was rushed into ER where I was admitted. 2 blood transfusions later I’ve been released and started therapy today heal and walk.

I have the most skilled and amazing reconstructive surgeon in Beverly Hills and I’m blessed to be here. It hurts my heart to know there are girls out here who can’t afford to have the best and are just sitting around in pain and infection. I thought I was strong but this changed my life. I saw my life flash right in front of me. So many so called friends and family where no where to be found in this dark hour. People I’ve given my last 2. NO WHERE.?Only a few where there like @moniece_slaughter @erndukes@akbar__v, @richardlomaxbeauty, Ken, Myisha, @iam_whatshername_,management, my nurse Denita and my MOM by my bed every night. People had to work and were to busy be there for me. Please don’t try to call me now.

I have no hate in my heart but I have no room for you. To those people who have lied on me and still continue to hurt me, I forgive you. I gotta be here for a reason now and fighting with you isn’t it. Slowing my life down now taking my time with my new music there are songs and truths 2 b told. I will sing them. But in my own time and way. My son needs me. Oh and those twins I want can FINALLY come This year because I’ll be able to actually pick them up. The small things matter most now”.

#BBNaija: The dress Cee-C wore that has tongues wagging! (Photos)

Cee-C pink dress

Cee-C pink dress

Cee-C definitely turned heads earlier today after she was spotted rocking figure-hugging pink dress.

A braless Cee-C showed off her banging curves in the sexy short dress which her fans call iconic.

It’s no doubt that despite her many behavioural flaws, she’s close to flawless when it comes to her body as she’s said to be one of the hottest females in the house.

She dauntlessly walked around and related with other housemates while in her really kinky pink dress…

See photos below:

Cee-C somewhat gushed over Tobi earlier during a task where the housemates were told to tell one another what they liked about the other person.

Cee-C on her part said;

“First, I will start from the obvious. I like the fact that you are talented. You have so many talents that I find it amazing that you come out well in all the tasks.

“You are ambitious and cool. You gave me the reason to love myself. Of course, a lot of issues I had in the House were because of you; but in the midst of it all, I found strength in who I am.

“I like the fact that you don’t give up who you are for anything. There is a part of you that wants to get better and I like that about you.”

“Biafra is a fraud, it was in the mortuary, but now in cemetery” – Igbo monarch

Igbo monarch

Igbo monarch

A traditional ruler from Mbaise in Imo State, Eze Nwabueze Soronnadi Ezewiro, has dissociated himself from the struggle for Biafra, an agitation he described as fraud.

The Igbo Monarch who spoke in Calabar yesterday, further stated that the truth is the only institutional body that represents Igbo people all over the world is Ohaneze Ndigbo, not Biafra.

“I am His Imperial Majesty Eze Nwabueze Soronnadi Ezewiro from Mbaise in Imo State as well as the Lord Mayor of the Igbo Nation and in Diaspora, Eze Agaba-Idu 1 of Igbo kingdom.

Biafra is a fraud. Whichever way they take it but the truth has to be said anyway, the only institutional body that represents Igbo people all over the world is Ohaneze Ndigbo, not Biafra.

Let me ask you one thing, when Odumegwu Ojukwu died, he was a General, he was given a state burial during the time of Jonathan, you saw in Nnewi that day that we, the Ohaneze Ndigbo were making our own preparation but the Presidency was doing the burial.

His body was carried by Nigerian soldiers, so where are the Biafran soldiers to carry the body? “When they’re talking about Biafra, is Biafra only Imo, Abia, Anambra Enugu and Ebonyi states? No.

It should be South-South, South-East all incorporated because these are the old eastern region excluding Edo. Have you seen anybody from those South-South states supporting Biafra?

We will put this thing on the table, get the Presidency, put our heads together and discuss this thing. But you can’t get it by force as if you are inciting to segregate from Nigeria federation.

The Biafran thing as much as I am concerned is dead gone. It was in the mortuary, it has gone to the cemetery. Its dead, there’s nothing and there would not be anything like Biafra” he said.

#BBNaija: CeeC is a virgin – Khloe confirms

Khloe

Khloe confirms Cee-C is a virgin

Big Brother Naija Housemate, Khloe who got disqualified form the show, and later returned has explained to fellow housemates that she believes CeeC is indeed a virgin.

Khloe went further to explain that ‘Cee-c has not felt the kind of emotion we feel’. Khloe also revealed that she has a younger sister who is a virgin at 23.

Watch the video conversation between the housemates;

 

Meanwhile, The National Film and Video Censors Board has said Nigeria has what it takes to host Big Brother Naija in the country.

Executive Director of the Censors Board, Adedayo Thomas, made this known in an interview with Punch.

Thomas complained that the show makes “a lot of money” from Nigerians yet complained of lack of infrastructure in the country.

He said: “If it is Big Brother Africa, they can host that anywhere; but the one for Nigeria should be hosted in Nigeria.

“Nigeria has what it takes to host the show; after all, there are many multinational/telecommunication companies hitherto operating hitch-free in the country.

“If the organisers are talking about lack of available infrastructure as an excuse, then how is MTN operating successfully 24/7 in this same country?

“If MTN, a similar South African company, has been surviving in this country, then I don’t think anybody has an excuse for not hosting BBNaija in Nigeria.

“They are making a lot of money from Nigerians here, so, we want them to host it here.”

He further spoke on the airing of adult content on the show.

He added: “A couple of the scenes are adult content and that is where parental guidance comes in.

“Parents can always block the watching of some scenes within a particular period or in totality.

“It is not government’s responsibility to assume the parental roles of moral upbringing of children in their homes.”

Rapper CDQ didn’t rape me – #BBNaija Ifu Ennada

Ifu Ennada had a scuffle with Rapper CDQ while in the house.

Recall she revealed while having a conversation with other housemates that Rapper CDQ Used and dumped her, after he used her to attain fame.

CDQ of course responded to her claims, and called her unprintable names, one of which he claimed she was just “a one night stand”.

Later, after she got evicted from the house, Ifu revealed that she was raped by a certain “Nigerian entertainer”.

Many folks on social media believed she was referring to CDQ, due to the previous controversy between them.

But the Nollywood actress has come out to vindicate the rapper and also mentioned that the real culprit will be exposed soon.

When Sunday Scoop asked her to identify the rapist, Ifu Ennada refused but stated that it was not CDQ.

“I was the one who was raped and I didn’t talk about it until recently. When I am ready to reveal the rapist’s identity, I will do so. For now, it is no one’s business. I don’t know what gave people the impression that it was CDQ. I didn’t mention CDQ’s name. I don’t understand people,” she added.

On claims that she shared her rape story to gain sympathy or popularity, she said:

“Do I look like one who needs the sympathy of people? Only foolish people would think I put out my story for publicity. Right from the first day I came back to Nigeria, I said I wanted to release a short film, Broken Virgin. Then, Big Brother was yet to announce that two people would return to the reality show. I had already started doing graphics; posters for my short film. People who have been following me know the truth; people who don’t know me can say rubbish. Why should anyone use her rape story as a joke or play?”

She however opened up that she would have loved to go back to the Big Brother Naija house when the door was opened for evicted housemates to come back

“It has not been very smooth since leaving BBNaija, but it has been good. I miss the house; sometimes I miss the diary session with Big Brother and I miss the Saturday night parties.

I wished I was one of the two persons who returned to the house. I even campaigned for people to vote for me and my people tried for me, but I didn’t make it. I had the third highest vote. Though I am aware that people felt the voting process was tampered with, I don’t believe that. I feel they showed us how the people truly voted.” She said

Photos of her new ride below:

The actress walked out of a marriage fans thought she was enjoying despite carrying the man’s baby – weeks ago, she revealed that she’d moved on from what ought not to set her back.

In an interview with LANRE ODUKOYA, she speaks motherhood, passion and legacy. Excerpts…

What was life like while growing up?

While growing up, I cherished friendship and I was part of every social activity in school. I was not the quiet type. Till now, I love life and I love expressing myself.

How about your education, where did you school?

After my primary and secondary education, I went to Caritas University in Enugu where I studied business administration. I have always been a business person as well. I love money and I like to do things that bring in money. At a very young age, I bought a car for myself. I started acting when I became a beauty queen. But ordinarily, I would have loved to be a lawyer but it didn’t happen.

You’re a single parent at the moment, how do you find motherhood?

Being a mother is the best gift a woman could ever get from God. It makes you discover yourself and it makes you think of another person. Since you really love your baby, you would want to protect him or her. Last year was beautiful for me because I had my baby girl. It was like a new beginning in my life; I became a mum and everything changed. I had to stop being the Mimi who loved travelling in order to take care of my baby. When my baby turned out to be a girl, I never worried. I just wished for a beautiful child. My daughter is like a little version of me.

What are you doing to keep fit and remain radiant?

Right now, I am struggling to trim down. I put on weight when I had my baby because I had to breastfeed her for a long time, but I was slim when I was pregnant. I work out every morning and I am dieting. Though I knew I would get fat and my tummy would get big, the joy of being a mother supersedes all that. You can always fix your body and it is worth sacrificing your body to have a child.

You’ve obviously had a break from the movie set, how do you plan to return?
I was on set in December. The producer told me he knew I had a baby but he didn’t mind if I could make myself available. I didn’t think I would able to do it, but I went there with my baby and we did it.

What are the things that fascinate you about life?

I love life, I love to be everywhere. I don’t like being in the office from morning till night. I don’t like to read too much, but it doesn’t mean I am not intelligent. I have always been into modelling or pageant. After winning Miss Africa Beauty Pageant in 2009, I met a director who introduced me to Nollywood and I found acting interesting. I didn’t go through the stress of looking for roles. None of my family members is in Nollywood, but I was told my grandmother was involved in drama. She was part of the drama group in the church and village square. I also have a cousin who sings. My father is not a creative person; he is a doctor while my mother is businesswoman.

Did you get express approval from your parents to become an actor?

When I wanted to venture into acting, I didn’t have much trouble convincing my father because I am the only daughter and his favourite. My father also knew that anything I wanted, I would get it. It was not the case of me forfeiting my education for acting; he wouldn’t have supported that. He became proud of me when people starting telling him that they saw me on screen acting.
