“Many ladies don’t wear bras anymore” – OAP Nedu (Video)

Media personality, Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, popularly known as Nedu, has expressed his concern about the current trend of women going to public places without bras.

Speaking on the latest episode of his Honest Bunch podcast, Nedu said he had noticed many ladies in malls without bras.

“Most of the ladies that go to Ebeano to buy stuff do not wear bras, and it’s a public place,” he said.

His co-host, actress Ezinne Jane Ugorji, added that women who claim they don’t wear bras because they are uncomfortable in them should at least wear them in public places out of consideration for others.

She said, “If you want to be comfortable, be comfortable in your own home because other people come to public places with their husbands.”

Just recently, Nedu opined that having a side-chick can bring peace of mind to married men.

According to him, most men who have nagging wives are able to tolerate their marriage because of the peace of mind their side-chicks give them.

In his words,

“God bless every side-chick out there. Side-chicks give peace of mind to men. Sometimes, before the man reaches home, he will visit his side-chick’s place to cool off.

“So, when he arrives home and his wife starts shouting, ‘Papa Nkechi, where did you go?’, he will take it because he has already cooled off at his side-chick’s place.”

Speaking from her experience with her ex-boyfriend, the reality TV star stated that it is possible to be platonic friends with one’s ex.

She wrote,

“Currently helping an Ex choose his “Wife”.
• He has all these girls around him, but can’t decide on whom to date and ultimately marry. My job is to evaluate and give my unbiased opinion on each of the girls he presents me with.

The final decision is his alone to make.

I know it sounds crazy – helping an ex choose his bride, but the truth is; we had no business dating 7yrs ago. We were great at being friends and obviously still are.

Also, we had no form of intimacy back then.

Using my case as an example, believe that some people can truly be friends with their Ex and not have any feeling outside of genuine friendship.”

Joke Silva underlined the value of Nollywood having studios and sound stages that would give appropriate settings for filmmaking.

In her words;

“We shoot in apartments these days. But, I won’t allow movies to be shot in my home; it won’t happen.

I know the number of people that are brought into a shoot. There may be two people in a scene, but to shoot it, there will probably be about 20 people there. That means 20 people will put their hands on my wall, block the loo, and do other things.

We need to build our studios and sound stages, just like American filmmaker, Tyler Perry, has done. He built one of the biggest sound stages in the world.

The thing with sound stages is that there are usually facades. I once shot a movie in France, but all the interior shots were taken in London, United Kingdom.

All we did in France were the exteriors shots to give the ambience of that country. Sound stages give one control. It allows one to make movies at one’s desired pace.” She said.

In other news, veteran Nollywood actress, Joke Silva has stated the reason why she would never allow a movie to be filmed in her home.

She revealed this during “The Roundtable Lekki,” a conference for youth development. The actress claims that making movies involves a lot of people, many of whom she wouldn’t want in her personal space.

Joke Silva underlined the value of Nollywood having studios and sound stages that would give appropriate settings for filmmaking.

In her words;

“We shoot in apartments these days. But, I won’t allow movies to be shot in my home; it won’t happen.

I know the number of people that are brought into a shoot. There may be two people in a scene, but to shoot it, there will probably be about 20 people there. That means 20 people will put their hands on my wall, block the loo, and do other things.

We need to build our studios and sound stages, just like American filmmaker, Tyler Perry, has done. He built one of the biggest sound stages in the world.

The thing with sound stages is that there are usually facades. I once shot a movie in France, but all the interior shots were taken in London, United Kingdom.

All we did in France were the exteriors shots to give the ambience of that country. Sound stages give one control. It allows one to make movies at one’s desired pace.” She said.
