SCANDAL: NOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES WHO 'CRASHED' OTHERS' MARRIAGES (3)

The show must go on, Nollywood stars behaves exactly like the roles they play in the movies..Ini Edo, Oby Edozien,Lola Alao, Nkiru Sylvanus , Foluke Daramola, Stella Damasus etc. are 10 and 10pence.. birds of the same feather, when it comes to men issues .(Read morehere andhere )

Ini Edo

An Akwa Ibom State-born screen goddess has made her mark in the Nigerian movie industry and is among the foremost actresses who have become the nightmare of many married couples.Ini, is said to be a lady who would get any man she desired. She settled for Philips Ehiagwina, an America-based Nigerian. This resulted in Philips divorcing his wife, Ruth Okoro who had sacrificed so much for him. Philips marriage to Ini means Ruth’s once happy home got destroyed. The said marriage is now history. Ini Edo’s marriage crashed like a pack of cards on alleged infidelity accusations!!! Read what Ini Edo’s husband family members are saying about her:

“Ini Edo should shut up about the marriage crash because with the way she is going by trying to paint Phillip as the wrong party, we may be forced to open her can of worms and it will not be palatable to her and her career. I can tell you that Ini Edo is a serial cheat who played the field behind her husband’s back for the duration of their marriage. Is she going to deny she was dating one Island big boy whose girlfriend organized her friends to beat her up and injured her? 

I can tell you that Ini Edo is not as innocent as she is trying to make people believe or think. We caught her on more than three occasion with three different men and she always begged us to forgive her. We can even mention some of the men she had affairs with including a South-South governor whose wife embarrassed her and ordered her security to send her out of the governor’s guest house in the state capital. She should dare us and we will mention the name of the governor on the pages of newspapers.

Did she tell you how Phillip embarrassed her in front of her people when he went to collect his bride price? He told her people the kind of adulterous daughter they have and how she had been cheating on him right from the first day they were married. In fact, he did not want to collect the bride price but her people begged him to collect it as that would free her to get married to another man in the future.”

Oby Edozien

Newly married Oby has had her share of being responsible for destroying relationships. It was revealed that Alex was married to Fathima Abubarkar, a South African lady of Asian background years back. The story is that Alex met Fathima in Singapore more than 10 years ago when he was still struggling to make ends meet and she not only stood by him then, but also assisted him. This moved him to walk her down the aisle in 2001.

The union was blessed with a child. Oby, however, when Alex travelled on a business trip to Nigeria, he met the actress who hooked him....... Months later, a secret wedding was organised for the two and that eventually exposed the plot and she came out to express her side of the story.

Lola Alao

Apart from joining and separating lovers which Lola is known for, she has also got herself into playing lead role in the business of breaking homes. She was at a time said to be pregnant for one Biodun Bodunrin, a Holland-based Nigerian who is married with kids, something that nearly tore apart his marriage. Another of such was her relationship with Gbenga Bankole, popularly called Gbenga Astoria, of the Astoria Catering World.

Gbenga who is happily married tried his best to keep the affair secret but was forced to pull out of it when he realised Lola wanted more than a secret relationship and this was about to cause crisis in his marriage. She was also at a time said to be having it good with a tall producer in the movie industry  by the name Ameen, . Quite interestingly, Lola plays the lead character when a script is on dating married men.

Nkiru Sylvanus

Nkiru, , has had more than a fair share of controversies, which climaxed recently in her closeness to Rochas Okorocha. She was suspected to be dating the businessman who later became the governor of Imo State.

Nkiru who has remained single even when her peers are either married or living as single parents, we were told some time ago that Nkiru Sylvanus is set to marry former Oge Okoye ex and father of her two lovely kids, Stanley Duru!  According to Linda Ikeji’s blog, ‘Stanley was first Nkiru's boyfriend but while they were having issues he met Oge, she got pregnant and they did some kind of introduction. They broke up and now he's back in Nkiru's life. They were supposed to get married this past Saturday Dec. 27th but sources close to Nkiru say it didn't happen and that they will likely marry early 2015.’

Foluke Daramola

 Busty Nollywood Actress Foluke Daramola moves in with married lover, Kayode Salako

Kayode was then still legally married to wife of 13 years, with three lovely children, said that God set him free from ’13 years of marital bondage, confusion, frustration and regrets.’

When asked why he abandoned his wife and three kids, Kayode replied:

I didn’t abandon my wife and kids; they abandoned me. My wife abandoned me for Foluke to take over. In my family, it’s an abomination for a woman to pack her things and leave her husband’s house, if it’s not the man that sent her out. What she did has confirmed she’s not my destined wife. Foluke now lives with me in Omole Phase 1. The rest is now history..Foluke in an interview of recent said:

‘The fact that I have feelings for someone and the person feels the same way about me and we both have a past that we are moving beyond does not make us bad people. The way they made it seem to the outside world was like I was a bitch that just wanted to be wicked. I was trying to be happy. My husband and I felt bad but he had to be bold and brave for both of us. He had to be a man and he handled it very well. He helped me overcome it and I thank God that it is over,”

 “Everybody is fine now. Everything is cool with our ex because we believe that we disagree to agree. Just because it did not work with one person does not mean it would not work with another person. All parties involved are mature about it and so far, everybody is happy.” she said.

Stella Damasus

That Stella Damasus dated Daniel Ademinokan is an understatement.  Both are now husband and wife living together in USA. This is a case of dog eating dog, because Doris Simeon and Stella Damasus are both Nollywood stars.........fast forward, the rest is now history.

A MUST READ: HOW & WHY JONATHAN LOST THE ELECTION

Goodluck Jonathan has earned the dubious distinction of being the first president in Nigerian history to lose an election. In many ways, Jonathan was the architect of his own downfall. He made critical mistakes that turned the public and allies against him, and led them to gravitate towards the opposition. Here’s where it all went wrong: Continue...

1. Don’t cross the boss

When Nigeria emerged from 15 years of military rule in 1999, Jonathan’s Peoples Democratic party (PDP) was formed by wealthy retired generals to inherit power from the military. One of the godfathers was General Olusegun Obasanjo, who has governed Nigeria twice (between 1976-1979 and 1999-2007). Jonathan made the mistake of alienating Obasanjo; leading the general to write a public 18-page letter containing lacerating criticism of the president in December 2013. A party member likened Obasanjo’s hectoring of Jonathan to a father’s disappointment with his son. 

Rather than make peace with the 77-year-old, Jonathan’s office retaliated. 
Getting on the wrong side of Obasanjo is the political equivalent of crossing a mafia don. You will pay. Obasanjo’s attacks on Jonathan intensified. In February, an irate Obasanjo quit the PDP and dramatically ripped up his party membership card on television. 
Jonathan was naïve to think he could remain president without the support of PDP godfathers like Obasanjo. Although Nigeria is no longer under military rule, many retired millionaire generals call the shots from behind the scenes.

2. Playing fair

Previous Nigerian presidents were too cynical to expose themselves to the unpredictable risk of a fair election. The election victories of PDP presidents during the past 16 years have been partially “assisted” by electoral malpractice. That changed when Jonathan nominated Professor Attahiru Jega as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in 2010. Jega vowed to reform Nigeria’s electoral process to ensure free and fair elections. 

The former university lecturer exuded calm authority and integrity. He has painstakingly prepared for the task over the past four years by studying the rigging methods used in previous elections, implementing an elaborate system of voter registration, training thousands of electoral staff, and introducing biometric readers to identify voters by reading their thumbprint.
Jonathan created the environment for the emergence of these changes and gave Jega the freedom and authority to conduct reforms that led to a credible election. But by giving Jega a free hand to play fair, he allowed Jega to craft the weapons that were used to oust him from power.  

3. Boko Haram and the Chibok kidnaps

When Boko Haram kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls from the town of Chibok in northern Nigeria, Jonathan failed to realise how much this would capture the public’s attention, both locally and internationally. His failure to speak about the kidnap for several weeks made him appear uncaring. These shortcomings were exacerbated by the behaviour of his wife, Patience, when she met the mothers of the kidnapped girls. Her ostentatious display and over-the-top emotions were mercilessly parodied
.
Jonathan’s perceived casual indifference to the suffering of his people was compounded when he was photographed celebrating his niece’s lavish wedding just a few days after Boko Haram had killed 2,000 people in the town of Baga. 

4. Bad management

Jonathan’s relations with party members at times resembled a football coach antagonising his star players into leaving for rival teams. His tendency to fall out with colleagues simultaneously weakened his party and strengthened the opposition. He quarrelled with one after another; leading several of them to leave the party in frustration and join the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC). The alliance between these and the opposition shoved Jonathan out of power. 

5. Corruption and cronyism

Nigerians refer to their country’s resources as the “national cake” which must be shared by its citizens. There was a perception that Jonathan gave slices of the cake largely to members of his own community. Many powerful members of his government were from Jonathan’s region in the deep south of the country. Even Jonathan’s wife was appointed as a senior civil servant in his home state of Bayelsa.

Under Jonathan’s presidency many militant leaders from the oil producing Niger Delta area in the south have become very rich from government patronage and contracts. Some of them have been awarded security contracts to guard the oil installations they once protested against and attacked. 
Jonathan has also pardoned a former ally accused of fraud and money laundering, increasing the cloud of suspicion hanging over his government.

These events caused deep resentment in other parts of Nigeria and created the impression that Jonathan ran a government that benefits those from his part of the country, the south, but not many others.

Jonathan even managed to get into a public feud with the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, the respected Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. In February 2014 Sanusi alleged that $20bn of Nigerian oil revenue was unaccounted for. Rather than investigating the claims Jonathan fired Sanusi for his impertinence at publicly hinting of government fraud.

Buhari’s victory is historic and unprecedented. However Jonathan was responsible almost as much as Buhari was.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has replied PDP chieftain, Olabode George on his threat before the general election to relocate from the country if General Buhari emerges as the President-elect of the country.

Hear (Olabode George) him, “What will I be doing here? I can decide to go and live anywhere. Look at everyone surrounding him (Buhari).

”So, I am not joking about it, what will I be doing here? At 70, what will I be doing here? All we have been doing to restructure the country has been lost. We have been trying to ensure balance in the polity but all that has gone. What else will I be doing here?”said George.

Responding to Bode’s threat, Tinubu asked him to be fast with his decision, saying that he doesn’t care if he chose to relocate to the mountain.

He said, “He can decide to go now if he wants. Who cares? He had relocated temporarily before and came back. So it is not a new thing. If he likes, let him relocate to Bayelsa or Rivers, who cares. I myself will relocate very soon.

HOSANNA TODAY KILL HIM TOMORROW...GANI ADAMS CONGRATULATES BUHARI

Hosanna today, kill him tomorrow!!! Gani Adams on Wednesday sent a congratulatory message to President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, over his election victory. Mr. Adams commended the President-elect for his resilience and tenacity over the years.

“I wish to send my congratulations to the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, on his success in the recently-concluded presidential election. By his resounding success in the election across the country, General Buhari has proved that he is the choice of the people,” Mr. Adams stated.

“I commend his resilience and tenacity over the years which have seen him equal the record of great leaders like Abraham Lincoln of the USA. His victory is a lesson to all of us that we can be what we want to be if we are patient and persistent in our legitimate pursuits in life”.

“His speeches before, during and after the election are also commendable because they went a long way in dousing the tension in the country.

This actually shows that the ‘Peoples General’ as he is fondly called is indeed a statesman’.

 “However, having won the election, I want the president-elect to begin to see himself as the president-elect of all Nigerians and not just that of the All Progressives Congress (APC). For him, it is time to mend whatever differences that may have arisen as a result of the election.

“It is time for all Nigerians, irrespective of political affiliation, to come together to continue to build our nation in a positive way, which of course, should be the focus of the president-elect himself and every other political leader across the various political parties in the country”, Mr. Adams said.

“And for all of us, it is a new dawn in the annals of the country for an opposition party to win in a popular election.

It is important to note that shortly before the election ,Gani Adams organised a pro-Jonathan rally in Lagos which turned violent.

ASARI DOKUBO THREATEN TO GO BACK TO CREEKS....CAN SOMEONE ADVISE THIS GUY B4 ITS TOO LATE!!!

Asari Dokubo says the emergence of Gen Buhari as the President of Nigeria in last Saturday's presidential election may signify "The conditions that advanced the need to embrace the creeks have been sadly re-energised. It is clear that a vicious government who may maim and murder the voice of the so-called minorities may have just been birthed. Indeed integration is non-existent as regional gang-ups and supremacy is symbolic with this victory" the statement read.

According to Asari, "While President Jonathan enjoys his moments and basks in the euphoria of a new world-renowned statesman having congratulated Muhammadu Buhari, we must quickly be reminded that our struggle was never about Jonathan or about the presidency. President Jonathan is an establishment beneficiary of our struggle, our sweat and blood that many bled and died for. He was never in the struggle and he can never wish away our collective march for statesmanship. Yes indeed, to an extent, he was a mitigating factor in self-determination pursuit as we went on sabbatical. This mitigation he seems to have willingly repudiated. The days coming will be critical. We shall study all the conditions and consult widely before determining the way forward for our collective existence and survival as a people. The days coming shall either drive the quest of integration or further separate us.”the statement read

NB: Although Asari Dokubo as a Nigerian, has his fundamental right to say whatever he likes, however, to instigate or clamour for war should not be taking lightly. The Ijaw leaders need to call him to order as soon as practicable

IJAW YOUTH LEADER CONGRATULATES BUHARI ...TELLS THE YOUTHS THAT IF YOU DESTROY ANYTHING YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN !!!

Udengs Eradiri, President of the Ijaw Youth Council, has congratulated General Buhari on his victory at the just concluded presidential polls. In a statement released on behalf of all the youths in Ijaw land yesterday April 1st, Mr Eradiri told the Niger Delta youths to support the President-elect and warned them that  ‘If you go and protest, you are on your own. If you go and destroy anything, you are on your own.’ He said they should not complain as "we are the architects of our own problems". The statement after the cut...

"I want to use this opportunity to congratulate Gen. Buhari who has emerged the winner of the presidential election. And so as IYC, when we had our own as President, the Igbo, the Yoruba, the Hausa were loyal to him. We will be loyal to the President-elect, Gen. Buhari, who from May 29, 2015 would become the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We will accept it (the results of the election). We had our own knife and yam; we were not able to cut it the way we wanted.

 We have no other person to blame. It is in this part of the country that people ask for money to go and vote. However, the northerners were paying for their own transportation to go and exercise their rights and to go and pick their PVCs. Our people were expecting that they would be paid to collect PVCs and the results reflected so. We have no other choice; we are the architect of our own problem. So, we should be able to live with it. If you go and protest, you are on your own. If you go and destroy anything, you are on your own. I, as the leader of youths in this region, have reached out to other ethnic nationalities to canvass support.

 Maybe, we started late. Maybe the attention was not given that should have started with the political class. History has already recorded it. So, the best we can do is to key into his (Buhari’s) administration, just as the Yoruba and Hausa key into the administration. It is time for us to also key into the administration. So, I called on our people to steer clear of all those political manipulations.” he said
