We don’t abandon ailing actors, Ibinabo opens up

Ibinabo Fiberesima has lashed out at all those who blamed the AGN for abandoning late actor, Muna Obiekwe to his fate. Speaking during the candlelight service held in honour of the actor in Lagos, she revealed that she was shocked at reports going round that the AGN dumped Muna.Hear her: “Think first before you write. The man was married, he had a wife and children. When you go about writing rubbish about the dead, it will haunt you. If you don’t know the truth about something, don’t spread it. It’s even worse if you are an AGN member. Everyone is sad because of his death. If I had known, being the kind of person I am, I would die to save Muna. I didn’t know, most of us never knew and Muna begged the few people who knew not to tell anyone. He had his reasons and let us respect it. Let’s stop writing rubbish – He drank alcohol, does that make you better than him? Let us respect Muna, he’s no longer with us. Mind your business”

Actress Bisi Ibidapo Obe says women who use sex toys are more decent than prostitutes

 Actress Bisi Ibidapo Obe says women who use sex toys are more decent than prostitutes who give their bodies to different men and in the end come down with all kinds of sexually transmitted diseases. Bisi, who sells sex toys in her lingerie shop in Lagos, says there is no big deal in using sex toys 

"It's not a big deal. It is only our mentality here in Nigeria that is somehow. In the western world, they don't see it as anything big. Left to me, anybody using sex toys is even decent compared to a prostitute. If you are using sex toy, you are better than a woman jumping from one bed to the other. Before such a person realizes, she has contracted sexually transmitted diseases. She can even be infected with HIV/AIDS. But with the use of sex toys, nothing like that can happen to you."she told encomium magazine...

Annie Idibia's statement on the pics of her husband 2face and baby mama Pero

Annie Idibia's statement on the pics of her husband 2face and baby mama Pero. 

Some reports claim she was at the club when the pics were taken and there was a confrontation. 

I am aware of the photo's circulating the internet with my husband and Pero Adeniyi. I want to state officially that I was not in that space at that time and therefore there was no confrontation between myself and Pero Adeniyi.

Pero Adeniyi and this momentary indiscretion poses no threat whatsoever to my relationship with my husband. 

As a matter of fact for all of our children's' sake, I do encourage cordial relationships with parties involved.

This year, my focus is solely on God, Family and my Career which doesn't give me the luxury of paying attention to any distractions.

I thank you for your respect in this matter.

I will act nude under the right circumstances – Chelsea Edogun

Please tell us about yourself

My name is Chelsea  Edogun. I’m from Edo State, Benin City to be precise. I’m the first child of a family of six girls. I studied Biochemistry in Delta State University.  After I 

I pursued my longtime passion which is acting and I don’t regret it. I’m proud to be an actress.

How did you get into the movie industry and what influenced you to join Nollywood?

Actually, there isn’t any special way I joined Nollywood neither did something or someone influenced me to join Nollywood. Being in the movie industry has always been my passion from childhood, so I just pursued my passion and here I am.

What turns you on?

Hmm! I know what you are thinking but you are wrong, because right now the only thing that turns me on as an actress is a movie role that challenges me, a movie that’s out of the ordinary. A movie with a difference!

What part of your body do you cherish the most and why?

I cherish every part of my body because all are important to me as a woman. For example, I need my legs to be able to walk elegantly. I need my hands to be able to flaunt my hair stylishly, and so do other parts equally have their uses, but most important of all is my brain, because I’m always in need of it every second.

Aside acting, what else do you do?

Apart from acting, I’m also into the fashion business. I import and sell ladies and men’s wears such as: clothes, shoes, belts, bags, and others under “KlassyKrushKollection “ which is owned by me.

Do you have any plan to produce your own movie?

Yes, I do plan to produce my own movie in the future, but acting still remains my priority.\
