According to Punch, there is hardly a Nollywood
actress who has not tasted the sting of a scandal at one time or
another in her
career. While it appears some of them go courting controversies, others have
had controversies tossed their way either by some overzealous press guys who
dig up stuffs about them and mixed it with a little bit of dirt or by some
circumstantial happenings that caught them right in the middle.
While some of these actresses have ignored many
scandals trailing their career, others have simply laughed them off. Like, in
every movie industry, there are practitioners who crave for attention and thus,
go the extra mile to expose certain aspects of their lives to make the
headlines.
Here are the top ten actresses who have been
severally scandalised. Interestingly, these scandals, true or false, have never
dented their careers; instead, they have come out of them stronger, bigger and
more popular:
Tonto Dikeh
Tonto is arguably the most scandalised actress in
Nollywood. Every time her name comes up in the papers it seems to be about one
controversy or the other. Some have said she found her way to stardom riding on
the wings of controversies and it seems much of it is true as Tonto seems to
take up roles most of her colleagues wouldn't dare. The daring actress has
played all kinds of roles, most of which bothered on near nudity and soft porn.
She astounded the movie world not too long ago when
she revealed that it was Jimmy Jatt who deflowered her. Such is the boldness of
the Rivers State born actress. There have also been rumours of her sexual
involvements with several artistes including Tuface, KC Presh, Wizkid and even
Iyanya.
When she veered into music, like some of her peers
have done, it was controversy galore again as many critics took her to teh
cleaners, hinting the actress has nothing of a singer in her. And just recently
she posted a near naked picture of herself on Twitter with large tattoos on her
back.
Nuella Njubigbo
'Ella' as she is fondly called by her many fans has
been linked to series of romance tales within and outside the industry. The
first tale that went viral was the romantic involvement with Yul Edochie and it
appeared there was an element of truth in that. At least, the dashing actor
once owned up to the relationship and asserted it happened long before he met
his wife.
Though Nuella has come out to deny all these series
of romances, however the echoes still linger. The one about her and the director,
Tchidi Chikere was particularly poignant to her as her PR person had to come
out and release a statement on the matter. She has also been alleged to be in a
relationship with a state governor from the South-South region, which
reportedly earned her a SUV. Others who have been linked with her in the past
include footballer Emmanuel Emenike and a few others.
Cossy Orjiakor
Cossy has said she is one of the most misjudged
persons in the entertainment industry but that does not excuse her image of
'high octane sensuality'. Her boobs have become the label through which people
identify her and she doesn't help matters as she flaunts these at every
occasion.
The most popular scandal about her is that of her
sleeping with a dog for a fee but Cossy has denied this at every turn. If she
is truly misjudged it cannot be about her excesses in exposing her sexy body.
Recently she tweeted near-naked pictures of herself just to show off her new
panties and also posted in the social media a picture of herself in 'orgasmic
bliss', possibly giving her fans the picture of herself at the height of a
sexual act. But with all her excesses, Cossy is down-to earth and focused.
Lola Alao
Lola was recently thrown into a controversy
involving her good friend, Bisi Ibidapo-Obe and a member of the House of Representatives,
Hon. Dino Melaye. It was a messy affair and Lola, who said she was wrongly
accused and implicated in the matter, was at the centre of it all.
Before the Lola-Bisi-Dino saga, there was the issue
of her husband, who labelled her on the pages of newspaper as
"diabolical" but Lola said in a recent interview that she doesn't
bear grudges against anyone. In spite of her former husband's campaign in the
media to drag her name in the mud Lola has never once spoken ill of the man and
even saying "I liked the guy. He was a nice guy. It just didn't work
out"
Bisi Ibidapo Obe
Bisi Ibidapo-Obe is not new to controversies in
fact this beautiful actress has always had one controversy or the other
trailing her. Her alleged relationships with Timaya, K1 and several others made
headlines not too long ago. And recently her controversial personality took a
dive after she announced that Dino Melaye was responsible for her pregnancy.
The tabloid again was filled with tales of Bisi and
Melaye's alleged romance-which the ex-honour bale member denied. Seven months
after she claimed she met the father of her child, she was delivered of a baby
girl and she was once again in the news when she named the child after Dino
Melaye.
Foluke Daramola
Before her blissful marriage to her heart-throb,
Kayode Salako of Change Agent of Nigeria Network, Foluke was fingered in the
break-up of Kayode Salako and his estranged wife, Pastor (Mrs.) Bukola Salako.
Before then there was also a controversy that
Foluke was evicted from her home by her landlord for inability to pay her rent.
But most of the scandals about her have been put to rest as the actress has
been vindicated.
Tayo Odueke (Sikiratu Sindodo)
Popularly known as Sikiratu Sindodo, a name she got
from the movie that launched her into stardom, her romance with National Union
of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Oshodi, Lagos, Musiliu Akinsanya also
known as MC Oluomo which ended prematurely rocked the movie world. The said MC
Oluomo bought a Murano car and a duplex in Maryland for her.
She was also rumoured to have dated actor and
producer, Kunle Afod. Just few months ago, the gist went round town that she
was having an affair with younger brother of Kunle Afolayan, Aremu which she
has profusely denied. She is presently rumoured to be in a sizzling romance
with top Fuji artiste, Malaika.
In my book, they re all husband snatchers and home breakers. Tonto Dikeh is crazy but certainly not a homebreaker.
ReplyDeleteCossy should not not be on the list, all she does is expose her own personal body no scandal.
