Oge Okoye and her Hollywood experience - Exclusive Interview

When success stories are written in the annals of Nollywood, Oge Okoye’s name cannot be overlooked. Gorgeous and gifted, Okoye, who hugged the klieg light in 2001 with the movies, “Caesar to Caesar” and “Spanner”, not only conquered Nollywood, she captivated and wowed her fans with blistering and daring acting, so much that her memory continues to linger in the minds of movie buffs.
Today, after two kids, the star of numerous blockbusters remains evergreen. She is not only relevant in the industry after about 11 years, but has also broadened her horizon to become multifaceted and a sought-after diva.
In this encounter, the soft spoken entertainer went gaga and revealed her other side when Entertainment Express asked an innocent question about her sexual appetite.
“What kind of question are you asking me?...How I make love…that is my personal life and I think personal things should remain personal,” she fumes.
Okoye who was recently honoured with a Doctorate degree by Wisconsin International University, USA, further bared her mind on other germane issues and sketched a broad outline of her real self. We present the riveting interview, raw and uncut.

“About my marriage, it has been going through crisis which I prefer not to talk about that is why I have kept it away from the public to wave off controversies.

Ini Edo speaks on divorce rumour, and N600m largesse

Top Nollywood actress, Ini Edo-Ehiagwina, is currently enmeshed in controversies about her marriage and an alleged largesse from the Akwa Ibom State governor Godswill Akpabio.

Not mincing words and obviously angry, the actress spat fire at those paddling untrue stories about her.

She said, “As a rule, I don’t reply every talk or report about me, but these recent ones are crazy and baseless. I don’t know where they got their information that my state governor offered me N600m to build an art or film academy in Uyo.

“This is just another work of mischief makers, who keep troubling celebrities. To put the records straight, my state governor has not offered me such money to build a film academy in Uyo (the Akwa Ibom State capital), as was falsely reported.

“As for the other wicked rumours that I’ve been divorced by my United States–based husband, Phillip Ehiagwina, that is just another lie that can only come from professional happy home breakers. No fight or separation ever happened. We are still together, doing great things as husband and wife.”

Exclusive Interview: The truth about Jennifer Eliogu's marriage

                                       

Jennifer Eliogu is a delectable actress that sparkles on and off the screen.  Busty, gorgeous and gifted, multi-talented Eliogu, who experienced a stellar rise to stardom via acting, is one actress who has remained relevant in the make-believe world for over 16 years and still counting.
Today, her tentacles cut across acting, producing, script writing, singing, motivational speaking, events anchoring alongside her Non Governmental Organisation’s activities. However, despite wearing an ever-cheerful mien, Eliogu is a woman with ‘a lot’ on her heart. The Anambra State-born mother of two, is sad and sulking for being perpetually made a subject of wicked gossips and unfounded rumours.
In fact, her alleged troubled marriage is just one of the many scars that have consistently made her a hot subject on pages of newspapers and social media platforms. In a recent enthralling encounter, the star actress of numerous hit flicks, pours out her emotion and bottled up anger to Entertainment Express.
“The truth is that when I got married, I didn’t call anybody; I didn’t tell the world. I only invited a few friends who came to witness the wedding. I will not dignify people by running to press to respond to all that are said about me. A lot of things are being said about me- some true, some false. If I haven’t been in the habit of debunking everything said about me, why now? People are free to insinuate and speculate, but the truth remains the truth, while lies remain lies”, she fumes.
Eliogu painstakingly speaks for the first time- on the many falsehoods woven around her person, especially the trending marriage break up, among other hot issues. Enjoy it.

Recently, you celebrated your birthday with the less privileged members of the society; how did it go and why the choice of the less privileged?
It went well. I’ve been doing this for the past three years, that’s since 2009.  It’s part of what my NGO-Initiative for Development, Empowerment and Absolute Stability-does. I felt that rather than have a party and pop Champagnes, giving to those who already have, why don’t I reach out to the less privileged ones. So every year, my NGO comes up with something different. Last year, we took the party to the prison-Kirikiri Maximum Prisons-where we fed about 200 female inmates. The essence is to interact with them and make them feel that the worst has not happened. So this year, we decided to parley with the beggars and physically challenged people on the streets, including motherless babies’ homes. It was a beautiful experience; I feel fulfilled doing that. I’m not doing it because NGOs are in vogue or because I need to make a name for myself- of course I already have a name.

Timi Dakolo's "Great Nation" - Fantastic video

11

If you have not listened to Timi Dakolo's "Great Nation" you just won't understand what i am talking about here. I was moved to tears the first time I heard the song. The lyrics of the song is so touching and inspirational.

‘We believe In Nigeria and the promise she holds’… The video was directed by Clarence peters, and it's a must watch.

Exclusive Interview with Ayo, Project fame west Africa season 5 winner

He won a music contest at the biggest stage: The MTN Project Fame Season Five. Suddenly Ayobami Ayoola Ayolola popularly known as A-Why-Oh becomes a household name, what with the talent he demonstrated and the enviable prizes he clinched as the winner of the first-rate reality music show. However, not many people are aware that this same music champ has a backstory of four failed attempts (at getting on this MTN-sponsored reality music competition that he eventually won), in fact, five failures, if you count his short-lived foray into another topnotch music talent hunt, The Nigerian Idol, where he was successful to be among the finalists only to become the first evictee.
In this encounter, the 25-year-old made a clean breast of how his talent was nurtured by his father; he talked about his musical coming of age and he also dropped a hint about his in-the-making songs which he promised would be a delightful surprise for his growing fans. Excerpts.

Tell us about yourself?
My name is Ayobami Ayoola Ayolola. People call me AYO (A-Why-Oh). I’m a Biochemistry graduate of Covenant University; the first child of five children from a Christian home. Our father is a Pastor.

"I think I’m the best husband in the world" - Mr. Ibu

In this no-holds-barred and exclusive encounter, Mr. Ibu, for the first time revealed the agonies he went through in the hands of his ex wife, whom he alleged made several attempts on his life and that of his immediate family.
“My ex wife and her cohorts planned and kidnapped my wife and child; they were later released after 10 days... That child later died a year after through poisoning. The fact later came out, but I don’t want to act on it now; I don’t want to massacre anybody…”, he told Entertainment Express.
The humour merchant and star of numerous blockbusters in this riveting chat also spoke extensively on other germane issues, including his battle with poverty, encounter with homosexuals, women and more. The interview, refreshing and fascinating, is a bird’s eye view and also a close up on Mr. Ibu’s world.

Let’s start with your recent trip to the US, what took you there?
Over the period, I was busy with a preparation for my American trip. I went there (US) for a movie which is a collaboration between Nollywood and Hollywood production. It’s a production that belongs to Nollywood. Basically, I’m the man at the helm of the production; I’ll play the lead role for the work. For the first time some celebrated Hollywood actors will be coming to Nigeria to make a movie. The title of the movie is Ibu Runs Mad in America. All through the movie I will be playing the role of a mad man- both the Nigerian and American parts of it.
You are used to playing the roles of an imbecile and sometimes a mad man; what efforts do you always make to fit into such characters.
The issue is that once you are a good actor, you can go ahead and interpret any character no matter how tedious. The role of an imbecile which I have played in the past in a movie entitled Agony is far different from the role of a mad man. Apart from bringing in my ingenuity as an actor to interpret any role, I also ask God for idea=s to creatively interpret it beyond the ordinary.
