Why I Do not Talk About My Father – Actress Yvonne Nelson Reveals

Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson, is actually not scared of anybody as she continues to step on toes at every given opportunity.

The actress recently opened up to Genevieve magazine that many would be wondering why she keeps talking about her mother without mentioning her father at some point which is because he had no value to contribute to her life.

She disclosed that her mother single-handedly raised her up and getting her all she wanted while her father kept disappointing her at every request she makes.

“Because my mum is the one I know. It’s not as if I don’t know my dad, my father is there of course, but he wasn’t really a part of my life and there’s really nothing to say about him. He didn’t make any impact in my life. My mum single-handedly raised me. Big ups to all the single mums out there,” She stated.

Yvonne added that her father right from when she was given birth to, her father had never been there for her and makes her feel sad about it despite having a caring stepfather.

According to her, “When I was born, I guess, my father was not happy about my birth, so he wasn’t there for me. He chose not to be a part of my life; a single mother raised me. She trained me from kindergarten to University. My father was never there. Even though I have an amazing stepfather, I always wished I could have had him in my life. That created a vacuum in my childhood. But I’m grateful that I had my mum and she did all she could to make sure that I lacked nothing.”

Nollywood actor, Paul Obazele, is not a new name in the Nigerian movie industry as he could be said to be as old as the industry having featured in many outstanding and award winning movies in the money spinning industry.

The actor speaking about his wife in a recent interview with Sun newspaper, confessed that his initial plan was to have an affair with her and walk away for turning down his check in bank which was post dated.

Paul explained that on the faithful day he went to the bank, what got him angry despite the fact that she turned down the payment because of the date was that he felt bad when she offered to lend him money while smiling at him then he had to ask her out but his plans was dashed afterwards.

In his words, “My wife is a banker. I met her on one of the days I was hard up; I went to the bank with a cheque given to me by Chico Ejiro. I got to the bank with a post-dated cheque that I didn’t know it was post-dated, but I thought I could swing it with my star status. And my friends who accompanied me said: ‘that girl wey dey there no dey hear word; she is a very stubborn girl’. But I accosted her and she told me ‘no’, even while saying that, she was laughing. Then she told me that if I wouldn’t mind, she would lend me some money. At that point, I stood up angrily and stormed out of the bank. As I left, I said to myself: ‘I’ll teach you what stars do. I will sleep with you and scram’. So I came back, toasted her and lured her in. But she said ‘if your plan is to sleep with me then you won’t’. (Laughs) Like joke, we became friends and today we are married!”

Upcoming Actors & Actresses Are Now Paying Movie Producers Heavily To Get Roles Hence Making It Hard For Popular Stars To Get Roles

The hitherto lucrative business that was thriving for Nollywood stars in Nigeria is now being threatened by some upcoming actors and actresses, that are desirous to have roles assigned to them and willing to even pay producers and marketers in the industry.

Accordingly, the quality of films in the market have dropped drastically as producers and marketers are now more interested in enlisting and engaging the new actors and actresses that are believed to be quacks, who are too willing to pay producers for staring in films and video.

Per Second News gathered that mostly affected are female actress that are now being under-priced by producers and marketers who are now of the view that they can make more money from the new Nollywood crop of actresses that are ever willing to pay to appear in videos and films.

One of the ‘A’ list actresses from the South West told our correspondent that; “It is a serious and dangerous dimension in the movie industry. The experienced professionals are being ‘chased’ away by upcoming actresses as marketers and producers in the industry have resorted to giving lead roles meant for us to the upcoming actresses.”

The star actress, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, told our correspondent that most of the upcoming actresses bribe marketers and producers to get lead roles in movies, adding that “this accounts for the abundance of low quality movies being produced in Nollywood in recent times.”

The actress further said that most of the upcoming actresses bribe marketers and producers with as high as N500,000, adding that those who do not have such amount of money to pay the marketers have to pay in ‘kind’ to get lead roles.

She also said; “Some of these ladies are prostitutes from brothels who want to become high-end prostitutes, by making themselves popular for very rich men to see.

“Marketers now offer us peanuts for lead roles and once you decline their offer they give the role to the next available upcoming actress who pays them either in cash, kind or even both.

“They don’t care to know whether she is good or not. Imagine offering to pay an ‘A’ list actor N150,000 for a lead role in a movie. The actress is expected to stay at location for more than a week or two and most times at the expence of the actress as some of the accommodation provided are far below standard.”

An A list actor from the South East confirmed the new trend, ” I came across an upcoming actress who told me in confidence that she paid the sum of N650,000 to get a lead role in a movie produced early this year in Awka”.

” She saw nothing wrong in paying the marketers, according to her she feels she will recoup the funds in a very short time”.

Last year, star actress Genevieve Nnaji, said that she is not ready anymore to come back to an industry that is characterized by blandness and mediocrity. Genny as she is fondly called said that the Nollywood industry now churn out bland, dull, uninteresting, predictable and unexciting movies by producers, marketers and ill-trained actors and actresses.

The implication of this development is that very soon, the movie industry will soon fall completely into the hands of quacks whose sole objective is having a platform to show off with a view to launching themselves to other areas of life without consideration for the growth and development of the industry. This could spell doom for the future of the industry in Nigeria.

Shocker! 48year Old Man Rapes 8year Old Girl Then Offers Her Family N25,000

An eight-year-old girl has narrated how she was allegedly raped by their 48-year-old neighbour, Mr. Peter Christopher, one afternoon in the

building her family shared with another tenant.

The girl, Blessing (not real name), explained to Saturday PUNCH that on Thursday, June 18, 2015, she was about to enter her parent’s apartment when, Christopher, a carpenter, whose lives just two doors away from their apartment, dragged her into his room, locked the door and defiled her.

Blessing was a jovial girl, she smiled a lot. But when it was time to tell the story of what she went through. Her face creased into a frown as tears streamed down her face.

Her elder sister urged her on to tell everything that happened.

Blessing said,

 “His (Christopher’s) wife had gone for a wedding programme that day. He was alone in the house.“I was playing outside before but as I came in and was about to open our door, he moved near me and dragged me by hand into their room.

“He locked the door and pulled down my panties. He then put his ‘thing’ inside me. That was the only time he did it.”

Blessing’s mother explained how she found out able the defilement of her daughter.

She said,

 “I did not know anything until the night when she told me that her private part was hurting her. I did not suspect anything and she did not tell me anything.

“I rubbed Vaseline on her to ease the pain but the following day when I wanted to bathe her, I realised that she was bleeding. I then suspected that somebody had been touching my daughter.

“As soon as I asked who had been touching her, she told me that it was our neighbour. He is even older than my husband!”

Christopher has a daughter of his own, who is in the same age group as Blessing.

He was arrested and detained at the Agbado Police Division, while the girl was taken for test and treatment.

While Christopher was in detention, he continued to deny that he ever touched the girl. But Blessing said he had no reason to lie while her parents said they believed their daughter.

However, after the pressure of numerous pleas from pastors and landlords in the area became too much, the girl’s parents were forced to write a letter to withdraw their case.

In order to douse the tension generated on the case, their landlady also signed an undertaken on Christopher’s behalf, and agreed to pay the sum of N25,000 in five instalments to Blessing’s parents.

“I just don’t know what that money is for because I have refused to take it. Is it for my daughter’s treatment or compensation? If it is for treatment, what I spent on her treatment, tests and drugs is even more than that,” the girl’s 41-year-old father said.

Our correspondent went in search of Christopher on Wednesday to get his side of the story. The fair complexioned man courteously offered our correspondent a chair but his attitude changed instantly when asked if he indeed raped the girl.

He demanded to know who notified our correspondent about the case. But when asked how that affected the allegations brought against, he refused to say anything further.

“If you cannot tell me the name of the person who made the allegations against me, I cannot say anything further,” he said.
