    My Most Painful Heartbreak – Nollywood Actress, Nazareth Jesse Opens Up

    The movie star, during a chat with Inside Nollywood revealed how she had to face several painful heartbreaks and the worse was when she discovered the person she loved dearly was already married.

    “Virginity is a wedding present to your husband and not a Valentine’s Day gift to boyfriends; don’t enter your matrimonial home perforated. Don’t make the mistake I made; I thought Val was a sign of love and commitment forever.

    “To the young girls, I will like them to know that love is not all about sex, don’t be deceived by gifts and sugar-coated tongues. This happens everyday; men deceiving young girls with fake love. The person that loves you will not demand sex on Valentine’s Day; get to know him and his plans for you before taking any step further.” She said.

    “I have suffered several heartbreaks. The worse was when I discovered the person I loved was already married. I got to know when I saw the text message on his phone, and it all ended just like that because of a lie. But I have not given up on love. It is new everyday, especially when I remember God’s word; they are new every morning.” She explained further.

    How I had to wait for seven years before becoming pregnant – Etinosa Idemudia

    Five days to the end of 2020, popular actress, Etinosa Idemudia, surprised many of her fans when she unveiled her daughter.

    The proud new mum revealed how she has been trying to get pregnant for seven years, even though she had yet to reveal her marital status.

    In an interview with Sunday Scoop, Idemudia said, “Nigeria is filled with very toxic people so one needs to protect one’s loved ones.

    “I have never revealed the identity of my parents or any siblings and I don’t intend to reveal the identity of my husband and children, except they opt for that themselves.

    “I signed up for a public life when I switched careers to join the entertainment industry. I am the public person, not my family members, so I have to respect and guard their privacy. Besides, what does the public need such information for? Did my fans conclude that I am not married? I would rather they are curious about my career plans which is what directly affects them.

    “I did not keep my pregnancy a secret, it was just a private affair, because my true friends, employers and family were very aware that I was pregnant.

    “It was a high-risk pregnancy but God saw me through. I was two months gone before I knew I was pregnant. I would not even have known until much later if not that my long-time doctor and friend forced me to do a pregnancy test when I was busy treating ‘stubborn malaria’.”

    Speaking on the effects of breastfeeding on her boobs, the actress said, “I am breastfeeding heavily and I am already seeing the sagging effects but I don’t care. To me, the breasts were made for this purpose, so why hoard it from my own child.

    “Motherhood is the highest sense of responsibility and it requires changes, especially with one’s first child.

    “I waited for about seven years (before having this child). My advice to awaiting mothers is that they should take their minds off the issue and relax. “It is a tough advice that almost sounds crazy but that was the advice I got from my sister-in-law years ago. She is also a polycystic ovary syndrome conqueror. It worked back then but I lost the pregnancies.

    “Then, I threw away her advice and naturally became anxious. Anxiety turned to desperation and I did take in again, even with the drugs I was taking then. It was not until last year that I finally learnt to relax. Let go and let God.”

  • Actress Ovi James calls out her mother; accuses her of abandonment and a host of other things

    Actress Ovi James calls out her mother; accuses her of abandonment and a host of other things

    Actress, Ovi James has blasted her mother who she accused of abandonment, brutality and a number of other shocking things.

    The disability advocate said her mother, who is a medical doctor and pastor, is a fake mother.

    She accused her mom of maltreatment, and abandoning her when she became sick with cancer, body-shaming her and forcing her to eat only one green apple a day to lose weight.

    She also accused her mother of giving her bleaching cream to make her skin lighter.

    She told her mother she has disowned her and she can now take her younger sibling as her second child.

    She also claimed that her mother “got rid” of her cousin Blessing then “happily delivered the news of her demise”.

    She further claimed that her mother indoctrinated them to believe that their grandmother is a witch and used to pray for the old woman to “fall down and die.”

    She went on to make other accusations and vowed to “never” respect her mother.

    She began in the three-part open letter:

    OPEN LETTER TO MY FAKE MOTHER

    As I under go chemotherapy to flush out all the cells in my body that make me sick. I strongly need to also do an emotional detox.

    Why did you ask God for a child and abandon it? Of course it’s you. You will always find a way to justify ur mess.

    I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, fibromyalgia and endometriosis. I told you about my diagnosis. You said I should come to Nigeria. As a medical doctor, you are a huge disgrace to the medical feild. You igonored all my early symptoms, you blamed me every single time I got sick, you demonized me so much all you could say to me was, “Ovi, you need deliverance”. From you? Most definitely.

    You got mad at me when I went to the doctor. Several times you told me I was wasting my money. IMAGINE

    I am currently under going chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. When I told you I had Multiple Sclerosis, your response was, “So what do you expect me to do? You preach love and forgiveness but you are the most toxic person I have ever encountered.

    Remember when you took my son from me and promised me that I will have him when I was ready. How did that go? You told me I was not good enough to raise a man. I am doing way better than you. At least I didn’t abandon my child. You didn’t finish taking care of your children. It is my son you want.

    Then you changed your name to James without telling me. Your husband on top of that STOLE my name. Ovbioise. I have dumped it for you. But I will always be Ovi. There nothing, absolutely nothing you can do about it. If you want fast and pray na you sabi. Hug transformer hey it’s not like you wish me well. Unlike you I will not hide my disgust for you. I will sing songs of your works.

    I was homeless for 4 years. You abandoned me but have some nerve to still preach the gospel. And then wonder why I don’t believe in your God. You forgot that the year before I got sick I watched you spend $30,000 on your church people then you came to my city and claimed to be broke. I had to pay for your hotel stay while you trashed talked me the entire time.

    Mother…

    “Mother, you

    “Mother, you

    The part 2 of her letter reads:

    OPEN LETTER TO MY FAKE MOTHER Part 2

    Mother, you are a very wicked woman. You will definitely reap what you sow. You left me here to die not knowing the dragon that’s on the inside of me. If you want, call it a demon. As you can see I don’t care cos you act more like the demons you claim to bind and cast.

    If this is what christianity is I don’t want to have ANYTHING to do with it. You and your God will sort yourselves.

    Your church members called me all kinds of names for telling my truth. I don’t care if you send all your members for me. It still won’t break me. You have clearly indoctrinated them and you think I can’t see through it.

    Don’t ever call me your daughter. Don’t . Your second child is now your first born. They wished me dead. Take my name off your publications and my picture of your WhatsApp. Stop lying to the people. You, your husband and children blocked me since 2018 right after my horrible car accident so why are you lying to your church members. Tell the truth. Crop my face out cos you have already “cropped” me from your life.

    Fake mother. You are an abusive woman. Let me tell you how. You indoctrinated us to believe our grandmother was a witch, you will conduct prayers saying she should fall down and die. You also got rid of Blessing (my cousin) for the same reason (I still can’t believe your husband accepted that rubbish from you). I remember you and my sister happily delivering the news of her demise to me. That broke me. I couldn’t talk for days.

    You will tell me I am too fat and how I need to look like my skinny friends. Or how about when you starved me the first time you came to the US because according to you I was fat. I had only one apple a day. A green apple. Took me years to be able to eat a green apple again. I will never forget that. Remember when you gave me bleaching cream? I still remember that purple bottle. You called it toning because of the sun smh. Common.

    I will NEVER respect you. Mark my words. You have lost every ounce of respect that I ever had for you even though you lied to your people saying I was disrespectful. You haven’t seen disrespect yet. I was too good for you. Too good.

    “Mother, you

    “Mother, you

    Concluding, she wrote:

    people who love me and are my family. They value me, cherish me. Plus I love myself too. Something I know you can’t say.

    Remember when you treated me like house girl/slave. Even when I was sick. I almost lost my mind because of you. I almost committed suicide because of you. Until I realized what you really are. I have seen your true colors and eww very disturbing and disgusting.

    El-Shaddians we are officially broken, divorced, ended, whatever you wanna call it. I have unfriended you all on Facebook and if I missed anyone please unfriend. I’m so glad for this dark part of my life to be over.

    I’m so excited for what is ahead of me.

    P.S. Your value does not decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth.

    Watch me crush MS.

    “Mother, you

    How I went blind for six months — Maryann Apollo

    Nollywood actress, Maryann Apollo, has opened up on why she became a born again Christian.

    Speaking during an interview session tagged the ‘Four Fs— film, finance, friendship and faith, Apollo gave details of how she was struck by an unknown ailment that made her blind and frail until she met a man of God in Abuja who prayed for her.

    She said, “My journey to Christ was not a good one. I don’t pray for people to go through what I went through to find God. Before I gave my life to Jesus Christ, I had been told everywhere I went that I had to dedicate my life to Him.

    “However, something happened. I fell so ill and they took me from one hospital to the other but there was no solution. I started selling properties but the money was still not enough. This is actually the first time I am telling this story.

    “My family turned upside down until I was operated on. My stomach was opened and they (doctors) said it was fibroid. But, it turned out not to be fibroid. They did not understand what they brought out from my body.

    “One minute, I was dead, and the next minute, I was back to life. I ‘died’ three times and later went blind for six months.

    “My son almost took his life because he kept on shouting that I was the only one he had. At that point, I did not even know what was going on.

    “If you had seen me then, you wouldn’t have recognised me. I looked like an 80-year-old woman— frail, wrinkled and rumpled.

    “Later on, someone told me to go and see Bishop Okwudili Eze in Abuja. When I got to the church, the man was preaching but as soon as I got inside, he said there was a celebrity there that had been ‘finished’ with charms.

    “He went on to say that those who did that to me would call me within the 24 hours to apologise. He said two people were involved— one in the industry and another one in my family. He prayed for me and I went back to my hotel room.

    “That night, I woke up around 2am to pee and realised I could see. Bishop Eze then told me I had to give my life to Christ. He said I had to leave the ‘world’ and remain celibate till I met my husband. God revived and transformed me.

    “And now, I mentor young girls and pray for them. I have also preached on the streets and shared did evangelism materials.”

    The actress also stated that she now sells food ingredients.
