Nollywood actress, Praise Sam Ogan is a damsel who is quite open about her convictions. She is an embodiment of intelligence, beauty and sex appeal.
She is not one who hides her opinions, she says it as it is. In a new interview, the quite busty actress talks about her passion for acting, most challenging movie role, sex before marriage, among other issues.
Read below:
Have you always wanted to be an actress?
Yes I have always wanted to be an actress. I mean from childhood. I am just an outspoken person so growing up, I was always called to lead kids in church. We act, sing and present. This happened in my childhood. So my love for the camera and the audience came from there.
When did you finally decide that acting was going to be your career?
Some years back I took that decision. I started acting three years back and stopped. I started again in January 2016 with a movie titled Wife for rent.
Have you ever found it difficult to come out of a character you played?
I have never found it difficult to come out of a character.
What will you regard as your most challenging role so far?
A role I acted as an Interior decorator is my challenging role so far. In the movie titled My Prophecy, my makeup was heavy in order to portray the role I played. It was challenging for me because I hate makeup so much. So I wasn’t myself at all .I acted directly with two actors, Yul Edochie and Ken Erics as an upcoming actress
What was it like acting with Yul and Ken?
They made it easy for me. I enjoyed every bit.
Why do you hate makeup?
I don’t know oh, I just don’t like it.
How has your journalism background helped you in your acting career?
Being bold works hand in hand with these two. So facing the camera comes with so much.Journalism has made acting easy for me.
What part of your body gets you the most attention?
My smile and my deep dimples gets me the most attention.
What is that one thing people hardly know about you?
The fact that I sing than I can do any other thing is one thing people hardly know about me. In addition, my marital status is very rare to know.
What is your opinion about pre-marital sex?
I am not holy or perfect but let us face the truth, as a Christian premarital sex is known as fornication, which the holy bible is against. It is wrong. Whatever good you do, you do it for yourself. You do bad? You do it for yourself. It’s a personal race. God would still have mercy on whom he would have mercy.
How far can you go when it comes to playing a romantic role?
I won’t go nude not just because of what people will say, but because I have a family who are more important to me than the world at large. I can only caress. I am even scared of kissing these days because of hepatitis B and so on which kills faster than HIV. A lot of people don’t even know. I am on point with my 3 course vaccine.
Is it possible to do without premarital sex in this generation?
It’s a personal race like I said, I can’t speak for anyone. Celibacy is normal. There are people who are seen as spoilt and wild, but they are celibate.
Can you have sex with your love interest or husband in a movie?
Nobody will do that. I have not seen or heard of that. Even real hubby and wife won’t go having sex in front of a director, DOP, PAs and so on. It’s not possible. You people believe and imagine too much. All we do is just make believe. That’s why it’s a movie. Nothing goes down biko! I have not seen that before. That is why we are good at what we do .If we our acting isn’t genuine, viewers will complain. Now we are trying to make you believe it’s real. Happy imagination to you guys.
Do you intentionally flaunt your boobs on social media?
Very funny, it’s showing by itself. That’s why God kept it at that position. Even if I tie wrapper, it would pop out.
Who are the individuals who inspire you in the movie industry?
Mercy Johnson and Joseph Benjamin inspire me. The passion they put into whatsoever they do inspires me, in the movie world and outside the movie world. The fact that they are down to earth is everything to me.
Have you ever been heartbroken?
Yes, you need to be heartbroken at some point so as to appreciate love when it finally comes your way.
How did you come out of that phase?
I am not the first.There is always a way out. Everybody has his way, I can’t share my way.
Who is Praise behind the cameras?
I can’t even say who I am. I have multiple personalities. But people say am a very bold and outspoken girl. I know am a shy girl. This life is just complicated. If you meet me personally you will find out.
When you are at home, what’s your favorite outfit to wear?
I don’t wear cloths at home to be sincere.
What new projects are you working on?
I call this year, big 2017. I am very sorry to say, all plans and projects are top secrets.
What’s your definition of a sexy woman?
My definition of a sexy woman is a God fearing, clean, confident and cheerful woman.
How has the ongoing recession affected Nollywood?
Recession is now a normal thing .It’s affecting everyone even individuals not just Nollywood. I don’t know much because I am not a movie marketer or a movie producer. I am sure they feel the heat more .I am sure the recession would be dealing with the movie marketers.
How has it affected you?
On a personal level, the recession is not affecting me in any way. No difference. I am still balling in grace.

Following the claims by his estranged wife that she had to be a housewife for six years just to save her marriage, Prince Eke, has in a new social media post, fired back at her.
Muma Gee had said to HipTV, that being an housewife for a whooping six years was enough to show her dedication to her marriage. She said:
“I gave the marriage all my life, all my time, but if the persons involved are restless a bit, you can’t be in control,” she said.
In response Prince Eke, in an explosive post on Instagram, said:
“If infidelity ,adultery and certain fetish activities does NOT make you RESTLESS ..then prepare to REST IN PEACE.”
Ogbolu Louis (Captain), Izuazu Anayo (Chief Engineer), Solomon Agbanoma (Able Seaman) and a depot manager, Olajide Kabir, are now cooling off in police net, after being apprehended weith 800,000 litres of adulterated diesel in Lagos, they were transporting with a marine vessel, Jazzi.
Police Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood, who confirmed the incident, disclosed that the men were arrested by IGP’S Task Force on Illegal Petroleum Bunkering, at a location in Kirikiri area of Lagos State.
“On February 6, 2017 at about 0217hrs, after a sustained surveillance and monitoring of MT Jazzi vessel and crew members sailing from the creeks of Port Harcourt in Rivers State, the IGP Task Force on Illegal Petroleum Bunkering unexpectedly swooped on the vessel and its crew members at a location in Kirikiri Area of Lagos State, arrested the vessel and the three crew members and the Manager of the Nakem depot where the illegally refined AGO (Diesel) was discharged.”
He also said the men would be prosecuted in court after investigation have been concluded.
However, when interviewed, Louis said he wasn’t allowed to get the necessary documents, showing the diesel was legally lifted, and that the product they were transporting wasn’t adulterated.
He also disclosed he was beaten with a machete during interrogation and forced to admit to committing the said crime.
“I have all the documents to prove that the product was legitimately lifted but the police did not allow me to get them. They beat me with machete and I had to sign a confessional statement that I lifted the AGO from Abonema creeks in order to save my life.”
Nigerian transvestite, Bobrisky, who is known to not only be a bleaching cream expert, but also a marketer, recently came for a bleaching cream seller, Grerivian Cosmetics and also blasted one of their follower, who asked him to show off his skin as white as the one placed on an advert.
The crossdresser then left a comment as a reply on the page, which reads, “everybody now wants to sell cream, (Shading the seller directly) “go and buy yours now fool” (blasting one of their follower).
See Below:
Bobrisky has his own bleaching cream product, which he calls “Bob Whitening Cream” and it is sold for ₦100,000.00.
Media personality, Uti Nwachukwu has disclosed that he’s all set for marriage – he spoke to The Sun, where he opened up on his new girlfriend, valentine and marriage.
“I like the way she makes me feel. I blush every time I talk about her. Whenever I
display my madness she knows how to calm me down. I don’t feel chocked in our relationship. Even when I feel choked, it doesn’t make want to run away from the relationship” he said.
He disclosed that his girlfriend doesn’t stay in Nigeria, so he didn’t spend valentine with her, but however he did something romantic for her;
“I sent her a very romantic text message in the morning to spice up her day and the text got her real good. She was just blushing. Well, she is not in Nigeria so we didn’t spend it together. For me here, it was work and more work. As an entertainer, we don’t really celebrate festive periods because that’s when our work gets serious.”
And then he drops the bombshell on marriage;
“Marriage doesn’t have to do with age but maturity. African mothers have to accept change and stop putting pressures on their children to give them grandchildren. Women of nowadays want more; they just don’t want to bear that title ‘wife’ alone. They also want to take charge and contribute immensely to the home. Who wants a woman that only paints nails and crosses her legs at home. I believe in ‘flex well’ and then ‘calm down’. For me, I have ‘flexed well’ now I am ‘calming down’ and getting ready to settle down.”

We sure can’t wait for the reactions of Nigerians over this!
An advert by a Chinese drink company, has caused lots of criticism, as it claims that its drink can enlarge the breasts.
In the advert, well endowed models can be seen running on the beach with their breast almost popping out from what they
were wearing, with the said drink in one hand, which had the slogan ‘A can a day and you’ll be white, tender and busty‘, while the model says: ‘A can of Coconut Palm a day will give you a graceful figure.‘
It is now expected that the country’s Consumer Protection Bureau as well as the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will investigate claims made in the controversial advert, as no company, that doesn’t produce nutritional products, is allowed to make such claims under the Chinese regulations.
The company might also be sanctioned for sexualized imagery, and vulgar language used in the advert.

Nigerian singer, Sexy Steel who is in a “long-distance” marriage, disclosed what he does anytime he feels horny, in a new chat with Saturday Beats.
He says:
“If I am moved sexually, all I need to do is travel to Dublin to meet my wife” he said.
The singer, a proud father of two boys, who doesn’t like wearing his wedding bands, also said:
“As a person, I do not believe in wedding bands. We are not perfect but as a married man, there are some things that you should not be caught doing.
As an entertainer, wearing a wedding band translates to chasing my female fans away. If they think that someday they might get married to Sexy Steel, that is fine. It is what they think and it would help me enlarge my female fan base.
We are not bankers or doctors, we are in the entertainment business and there can be temptations at times but just keep your marriage away from social media and prying eyes.
Ladies love married men and if they want to have anything to do with you, they do not care if you are wearing a wedding ring or not. In fact, the wedding ring is an invitation for them.
These ladies believe that married men are so caring and they know how to take care of women. They know how to treat women right. I don’t bring my family to the social media or even the entertainment industry.
My family do not even live in Nigeria, they are based in Dublin. I am in Nigeria focused on my work. I am a disciplined person and I can never get carried away by any woman.
It is never going to happen. I am focused on the entertainment business and it does not mean that I should lose focus or forget the fact that my family is somewhere. Nobody can put my marriage asunder.”
In a quite unusual event that will be holding by midnight on March 26, April 24 and May 23, witches, Wiccans, shamans, heremeticists, cunning folk, sorcerers and sorceresses, hoodooists, occultists, magicians, ceremonialists and ritualists will be gathering to cast a spell on America’s President, Donald Trump, as the first ritual has been held on February 24.
This is coming after President Trump’s proposed plan of tracking down witches.
Ingredients needed to cast the spell on Donald Trump and his supporters include; an unflattering photo of Trump, a tiny orange candle, a Tower tarot card, bowls of water and salt, a pin which is used to carve Trump’s name on the candle.
Once these have been gathered, they will then be arranged in a pleasing position along with a feather, a white candle and an ashtray or dish filled with sand.
The witches are also expected to chant:
‘I call upon you / To bind / Donald J. Trump / So that he may fail utterly / That he may do no harm/To any human soul.’
The second verse tackles a different issues, with the lines: ‘Bind him so that he shall not break our polity / Usurp our liberty / Or fill our minds with hate, confusion, fear, or despair.’
Here’s the chant for the spell for Donald Trump’s supporters;
‘Bind them in chains / Bind their tongues / Bind their works / Bind their wickedness,’ sing the women and men, who at this point are told to take the orange candle and light President Trump’s photo on fire.
To close things out the phrase ‘So mote it be!’ is repeated three times and the candle blown out.
It is important that while blowing out the person is ‘visualizing Trump blowing apart into dust or ash.’
Witches are also directed to ground themselves after the ritual before disposing of the candle. It is expected the spell will stop Donald Trump from doing more harm than good and also banish him.
However, some witches are growing concerned as the event draws near, and taking issue with whether or not the binding spell is appropriate, because they do not believe it comes from a place of love.
The United States President is yet to respond to this.
Gov. Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State, who was on his back from the swearing in ceremony of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu in Akure, stopped his convoy to save accident victims.
The accident victims who sustained injuries on their head, which came as a result of the collision between a volkswagen car with registration number; Ondo BDR-223XA, painted in the taxi colour of Ondo State and a MAN Diesel truck along Akure-Ondo Road, were first taken to General Hospital in Ondo town, where they were rejected because the workers were on strike, before being taken to a private hospital were they are currently being treated.
Here’s the official press statement and photos;
“Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, on Friday, stopped to personally coordinate the rescue of three accident victims along the ever busy, Akure-Ondo Road in Ondo State.
Governor Amosun who came across the accident scene while returning from the swearing in ceremony of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu in Akure, stopped his convoy and personally led efforts to retrieve the accident victims from the bush.
The accident involved a Volkswagen car with registration number, Ondo BDR-223XA, painted in the taxi colour of Ondo State and a MAN Diesel truck, which apparently ran the taxi off the road.
The three female victims of the accident appeared to have sustained injuries on the head and this prompted the Ogun State governor to direct his security team to immediately take them to the General Hospital in Ondo town.
Although the accident victims were rejected at the public health facility because the workers were said to be on strike, Governor Amosun then directed that they should be taken to a private hospital in Ondo town where they were admitted and treated.”

A Facebook post that showed pupils of a private nursery and primary school, Early Dew Montessori Academy, Enugu, aged between four and seven years, in a police van, purportedly arrested for failing to do their assignments, and also for wearing dirty uniforms, caused outrage on Social media during the week.
The incident, according to reports, took place in the school on February 16.
The picture, which was said to have been posted on Facebook by a parent of one of the pupils in the school, was reportedly captioned ‘Enugu State Government police in conjunction with Early Dew Montessori Primary School, GRA Enugu, arresting 4 to 7 year-olds and putting them behind a Hilux – the same place they put dead bodies, and where they could have jumped out from fearfully, for not doing their assignments’.
The caption gave the impression that the Enugu State Government was involved in the affair, a development which drew the ire of the Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi-led administration.
The government immediately moved to correct the impression, and on Monday, February 20, suspended the operations of the school. The school is currently being threatened with permanent closure.
Commissioner for Education, Professor Uche Eze, who announced sanctions against the school, described the development as ‘an embarrassment to the state government and a serious psychological abuse of the concerned children’.
Besides the suspension, the school management was also ordered to apologise, in writing, to the state government, parents of the ‘abused’ children, and the entire people of Enugu State. These measures have to be carried out before the suspension could be lifted. Failure to do so, the school will be closed, permanently.
The commissioner said the measures would serve as a warning to other private schools in the state who adopt ‘unethical practices’ in the name of corporal punishment.
But the woman in the eye of the storm, the proprietress of the school, also known as ‘school mummy’, Mrs Ify Okonkwo, has blamed the entire episode on misunderstanding.
According to her, the ‘invitation’ of the police, the ‘arrest’ of the erring pupils, and their placement in the police van, were all part of an arranged ‘stunt’ that was meant to discourage indiscipline, and also instill hardwork and good conduct among pupils in the school.
Okonkwo said she collaborated with some parents to execute the stunt, adding that she was the one that shared pictures of the incident on a Whatsap forum she created for parents of pupils in the school.
Addressing journalists, Okonkwo, who was in company with parents of some of the pupils in the school, said the incident was stage, managed, as the pupils were merely told to get on the back of the van, where they were made to pledge to be of better behaviour.
The proprietress said,
“Being an educationist, what happened in the school on February 16 was to encourage the children to be focused. I brought the police to come and talk to the children and to motivate them to read on their own without being pushed.
“In my mind, I thought I was doing it to bring the children up in a way that they will be attached to their studies. No child was manhandled neither did they point a gun at any of the children.
“I was the person that took the pictures and we have a group chat I opened for parents as one family to brief them on the school’s activities.
“When I took this action, I posted it (pictures) on the platform, with the caption ‘Some children were arrested today for not doing their homework, for not reading their books, for not behaving well, but they promised to change’.
“I didn’t mean any harm; I meant well for the kids. If not, I wouldn’t have made it public – it would have been between me and the teachers.”
Okonkwo said the parents commended her when she posted pictures of the incident on the Whatsapp forum.
“When I uploaded it on the platform, parents were commending me,” she said, although she added that the particular parent who in turn posted the pictures on Facebook with the ‘mischievous’ caption, has issues with the school management.
Insisting that the pupils were not actually arrested, the proprietress said,
“I am aware that those children are still minors and no offence they committed would warrant an arrest. So how do you think that those children were arrested? Who will have that kind of heart to arrest these little children?”
One of the parents, Mrs Jessica Nnamani, corroborated the proprietress’ claims.
Nnamani said she was at the school on the day of the incident, and played a role in the ‘drama’.
She said,
“I am one of the parents in the school. On that day, I came to the school to give my son who is not well his hourly drug. When I got to the school I saw some kids that morning who were looking very dirty. When I saw that, I wasn’t happy, as a mother who would want her kids to look clean and I turned to the school mummy and asked, ‘Where are those children coming from? Did their parents bring them here this morning looking this way?’
“I was disappointed.
“She told me that she had a plan on how to deal with people that come to the school looking dirty, the stubborn ones and those that are not doing their homework.
“She then told me the drama she wanted to do, that I should help to stage manage it very well.
“She invited police and when they came, all the children that were dirty, those that were stubborn and those that weren’t doing their home assignments were brought out at around 9:00 am and they were told that the police were going to take them to Abuja, unless they promised to be coming to school clean, to be obedient, and also ready to do their home assignment.
“I played the intercessory role by begging the ‘school mummy’ to tamper justice with mercy, promising that they would change. I said, “School mummy’ please don’t take them away, they will change”. I then asked them, ‘Okay, are you people promising school mummy that you will do well from now on?’ They all said yes.”
Continuing, she said, “They (pupils) were rather laughing. They (police) now took them behind the van – it was then they started begging.
“If I should say, she (proprietress) didn’t mean any harm. As a parent, I supported what she did. She did it in the interest of the pupils.”
The woman said she uses a similar approach to discipline her kids.
Nnamani added,
“When my child proves stubborn and I drive them to a police checkpoint, I will bring that one out and ask police to take him and punish him because he is stubborn, and you will see him dragging my clothes begging that he will not do such a thing again, that he will change, and police will tell him “Make sure that your mum doesn’t bring you here again”.
Be that as it may, the school remains closed, until further notice.
Meanwhile, the school management has apologised to Enugu State government. The apology was conveyed in a letter addressed to the commissioner fovr education.
“We promise and undertake that such will never happen again, and appeal mostv humbly that the closure of the school be lifted so that our children are not affected negatively by the continued closure of the school,’’ parts of the letter said.
