You have been in Nollywood for a long time, how do you re-invent yourself to be always relevant?

Life is all about growth. The day you stopped growing, you start dying. The ability of not been satisfied, the thought of failure, scares me. It makes me to want to do for myself everyday.

How has life been generally for you as a Nigerian actress?

I started acting since 2005. I knew there was a world I could conquer back then beyond my father’s bakery wall at Ikotun- Egbe area of Lagos State.

It has been 11 years has been very rewarding.

Firstly, I tap into AY’s blessing, (laughs). Honestly, I want to get to higher places in life, but we all know that no matter how far and wide you project, you can only get there by the grace of God.

From my recent experiences, I know it’s all about God and his plans for me. I know he would crown my efforts and hard work with great success.

Would ever go under the knife to correct or enhance any part of your body?

No! I won’t. I’m comfortable in my skin and looks but that doesn’t mean I am against those that did or want to go through plastic surgeries.

I’m beautifully made by God, so there’s no need to go under the knife to tamper with any part of my body.

After what you went through in your first marriage, do you still want to give love and marriage a second chance?

Marriage is a beautiful institution. I will never talk down on marriage because it’s something I still look forward to. It’s what every average woman hopes for. But the thing is, right now, i’m focused on my career.

But do you have a special someone in your life?

Yes I do (blushes..). I have a very special person in my life right now.

Is he from the movie industry?

Well, that’s all I can say about my relationship; I have a special someone. His profile doesn’t matter to you right now.

On social media, especially Instagram, how do you react to critics that trail your posts?

Some years back, it bothered me a lot. But right now, I have learnt to develop thick skin for such negative comments and critics. I don’t waste my time responding to them. I just sieve; the good, bad and ugly ones.

I take note of the good ones, do what I need to do with them and discard the rest.

Your mum was a pastor before she passed on some months ago, how did she influence your life?

My mum was a very strong woman. There’s something she always says, don’t let anyone intimidate you; be confident. So, she’s the kind of mum that won’t you fail. She preached the gospel all over the world; American, London, everywhere. She was like a role model to me. She shaped me into the woman I am today.

How is this present bad economy tagged ‘recession affecting you?

To be honest, it’s affecting everyone. Businesses are folding up everyday. We just have to go through all these for a reason. Americans too went through recession. But it’s the ability to survive after the recession that matter.

I have strategy; I tell myself that I must survive till the recession ends. I just have to look for ways to survive.

Was that why you went into Real Estate business?

Well, i’m a business woman as whole. I love doing business and I like generating funds for myself, so I can give out. I like to help people a lot. That’s my basic thing.

I do acting, I have a beauty store, and ventured into Real Estate, 5 years ago.

The Real Estate business is on the down low because of the recession.

Photos: 12 Year Old Egyptian Boy Nasser Hassan Set To Marry His 11 Year Old Cousin After Receiving His Father’s Blessings (Must See)

An 12-year-old boy will marry his cousin, 11, after the groom-to-be’s father gave the couple’s engagement his blessing.

While family and friends celebrated Nasser Hassan’s eldest son’s lavish wedding, the father decided to ‘double the joy’ in Egypt by announcing the engagement.

Egyptian law prohibits marriages for anyone under 18 and the decision for Omar, 12, and Gharam, 11, to marry has sparked outrage among activists.

According to Daily Mail, the father told Egypt’s Al Watan newspaper there was ‘nothing inappropriate’ about the couple, adding that it was only ‘an engagement, not a marriage’.

The wedding of the older brother was held 75 miles north of Cairo, and when the announcement was made, guests didn’t bat an eyelid, according to the Washington Post.

But photos of the young couple were published in local media which were met with anger.

Reda Eldanbouki, the head of the Women’s Center for Legal Aid and Counseling, reported the incident to government agency the National Center for Childhood and Motherhood.

He also filed a complaint with the attorney general to investigate the incident and hold the parents accountable for this ‘crime,’

Omar’s father brushed off any criticism, and said he ‘is a free man and did nothing wrong’.

‘Omar has always loved Gharam so much that he used to say he will marry her when they grow up before any other man asks for her hand in marriage when she is older,’ he added.
‘They will get married when they reach the legal age.’

He said both children acted ‘beyond their years’ and had ‘strong feelings for each other’ through Facebook and other social media and ‘wanted to get engaged’

Muslim Man With 86 Wives Says He Has Not Completed The Mission Allah Sent Him To Do On Earth

The Bida, Niger State-based cleric famed for his controversial marriage to 86 wives, Alhaji Bello Masaba, has declared that he has a “divine” assignment which he must finish before his death.

He made the declaration in an interview with Saturday Tribune in reaction to a death rumour about him, said to have started last Saturday and which sparked several reactions on social media.

“I am alive; I am not dead. Allah’s assignment must be carried out. Although death is the ultimate end of all, I will fulfil my days and divine assignment.“What I am doing is divine. It is an assignment and I will keep doing it till the end of my time. I want to advise those fighting against me to stop because they are waging war against God, their Creator,” he said.

Masaba had stirred controversy in the state for violating the Islamic injunction which forbids a Muslim man to marry more than four wives. He has over 100 children
Last Sunday, it was gathered, several people in the town visited the man’s three-storey house located at Kota Woro, Masaba Ward to know if he truly was dead.
The sympathisers were, however, said to have been shocked to meet the 92-year-old man sitting on the ground floor of the house receiving visitors and assuring them that he was hale and hearty.
Alhaji Masaba described the news of his death as imaginary, emphasising that he would only die at God’s appointed time.

“I Would Have Become A Prostitute” – Actress Hilda Dokubo confesses

Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo was in Lagos recently where she ministered as a Pastor at the Fresh Oil International Church. During her sermon, she revealed some part of her past that may be unknown to many. While speaking, she said, “I was born with a silver spoon, but death turned me poverty-stricken after my father died when I was just nine. I turned away from God at that point, because I felt disappointed that despite how much my father loved and served God, he still died.”…

She continued, “After my dad died, my mother completely lost her mind. If she were living in the US, I’m sure she would have been diagnosed as a mental case. You know, in Nigeria, we don’t consider people mad until they have started eating from dustbins. I rebelled against God at that point, and I stopped going to church at the age of nine.

“However, I was a very brilliant girl, and I got admission into the university at the age of 16. I became rascally and did what girls like that do. I slept with a man, and I became pregnant. It wasn’t the Holy-Spirit that impregnated me.

My mom was devastated and disappointed in me because of that. I was also angry with her because ‘her God’ killed my father, and we stopped speaking to each other. One day, a man came to me and said he needed a barge. I didn’t know what it was, and he told me it was used to store oil.

I then recalled that I had once seen a barge in the compound opposite ours. I went to the neighbour and told him I needed the barge. He asked me what I needed it for, but I told him not to worry. I told them to put the barge in front of my mother’s house. At that point, the man who told me he needed the barge came back, and dropped sacks of money containing N2m with my mom because I was in school at that time.

Two weeks later, he returned with N500,000, and I was dumbfounded. Before then, I had never seen N100,000 together, but there I was as a millionaire at 17, not knowing what to do with the money. I would have become a prostitute, but I became restless and challenged destiny. Your life cannot change for the better if you don’t challenge destiny. Even God challenged destiny.”
