Benita Nzeribe |
Though she has not been particularly linked to
any home that has been broken, she came close to doing that when the wife of a
guy she was dating at a time got wind of the affair. This forced the wife to
confront her husband, who quickly denied knowing Benita aside watching her on
screen. She had to hurriedly quit the affair.
Lola Alao |
She was at a time said to be pregnant for one
Biodun Bodunrin, a Holland-based Nigerian who is married with kids. Though she
came out to refute the claim, industry watchers say she actually had something
with the man 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 the affair when he realized 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
dark-skinned producer in the industry who
goes by the name Ameen, even when she was aware that he was married. Quite
interestingly, Lola plays the lead character when the script is on dating
married men.
Oby Edozien |
Oby, it could be recalled, had a quarrel with
her closest pal Tricia Esiegbe at a time. Sources close to the two claim the
disagreement was because Tricia was suspecting her pal of making advances at her
man and the ensuing melee made headlines then. Though the two reconciled after
Tricia’s wedding to her man, the pain suffered by Oby made her desperate, which
was the reason she stuck to her guns to go ahead with her wedding to Alex, even
when it became obvious she would be breaking a once happy woman’s home.
Anita Joseph |
Anita, in an interview at that time said that she was having an affair
with the musician and this statement might have been the beginning of the end of
the whole thing. She also played a prominent role in the separation of another
actress, Ebube Nwagbo from yet another musician, KC of the KC Presh fame.
Despite her knowledge that Ebube was having an affair with KC, Anita decided to
join the party as she also began a relationship with the music act. Though she
later opted out of the relationship, the affair has been responsible for the
disaffection between the two actresses up till now.
Ini Edo |
Ini, as her friends call her, 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 has been destroyed.
Grace Amah |
Information, however, was that the
light-skinned actress might have been plotting her way to breaking a happy home
when she chose to conceive and have a baby for a man who is already married with
four kids, against her claim that the man is in London. Those in the know argue that the man is actually
working with the National Assembly in the country’s capital city of Abuja and
that she chose to hide his identity because she had not perfected her skills of
winning over the man to the extent that he would divorce his wife for her. This
revelation has finally initiated the innocent looking Grace to the league
actresses who are skilled in wreaking havoc on marriages.
Nkiru Sylvanus |
Nkiru who has remained single even when her
peers are either married or living as single parents, we were told, has been
using her affair with the governor to win many things and she may be dreaming of
one day becoming the wife of the man with the title of “Owelle” at the expense
of his immediate family.
Bisi Komolafe |
Recently Bisi, who had previously not been
successful in perfecting the art of destroying marriages, may at last have. It
was in the news that she got engaged last December to one Babatunde Ijaodola, a
father of two – a boy and a girl. Bisi was said have been dating the guy who got
married to his heartthrob Niniola in 2007 and relocated to Canada with their two
kids. Problem started when Tunde met Bisi on the pretext of friendship only for
him to decide years after to end his marriage to his wife and in place take Bisi
as wife. A close source said he has started divorce proceedings against his wife
and the once happy home is now on the verge of collapse. And it is known that
the whole issue started after Tunde met Bisi.
It is no news that this
light-skinned graduate of creative arts from the University of Lagos may be one
actress that is wayward. Her nude picture while a student at the University of
Lagos speaks volume, and her lifestyle in the make-believe industry is also
nothing but controversial. It is therefore no surprise that Uche has been
fingered in many reports as one who sees nothing bad in having relationships
with married men.Uche Iwuji |
Iyabo Ojo |
There was an incident where an actor in the
industry whom Iyabo left for another was bitter and was said to have shed tears
over his lost love. The actor who has two other brothers in the make-believe
industry was even said to have walked up to Iyabo to declare that he would chase
his wife out of their home only if she would agree to move in. But Iyabo, who
has since accepted him back, would not do that. She said she would rather live
outside so the wives would not be looking at her as a threat to their happy
marriages.
Though she is not of Nigerian descent, mullato and beautiful
Nadia cut her teeth in the Nigerian movie industry popularly called Nollywood.
Many men, we were informed, have been smitten by the beauty of this Ghana-born
actress whose role interpretation complements her beauty.Nadia Buhari |

She also succeeded in breaking Bolaji Basia’s
home. With the intention of securing a green card through him, she used all the
available means within her reach and at last she succeeded in tying him down.
Even as her first aim of securing the green card was defeated, the marriage
didn’t stand the test of time; it crumbled. Early this year she succeeded in
tying the marital knot with another London big boy, Wale Onitiri, which she kept
away from the media.
Talented thespian cum producer Funke Akindele,
popularly called “Jennifer”, is one of the most sought after babes in the movie
world. A couple of years ago the “Omo Ghetto” producer was alleged to have
brought havoc to the home of fellow Nollywood actor whose father’s name is also
synonymous with acting. Though we can’t picture where it all started from, we
gathered that both thespians were on various occasions sighted at odd hours at
different hotels. But Funke denied it.Funke Akindele |
The scenario generated a whole lot of
controversy and different people had diverse things to say about the affair.
While some friends suggested they should go on with the affair since they were
in love with each other, others had contrary opinion. But what we can grab in
this whole issue is that the dark-skinned actress succeeded in ousting the wife
from home.
Former Association of Nigerian Theatre Act
Practitioners (ANTP) president, who happens to be the father of the actor, was
said to have settled the matter and nothing was heard about the two lovebirds
again. Busybodies also said she has also dated one of the Super Eagles defenders
who is a left footer, though it crashed no sooner than it started. She is still
very single at the moment but she has not let this to weigh her down.
Her
wedding was one of the most talked about in year 2011, not because of the way it
was planned or the amount of money she spent towards making the ceremony a huge
success but the controversy it generated.
It all started like a dream. In the heat of the
preparation for her white wedding, a lady, Lovely Okojie surfaced to declare
that Mercy was planning to get married to her husband of many years. In the face
of the controversy, Mercy and Prince Odionese, the groom, quickly secured a
divorce and all the wedding proceedings went ahead as planned. She got married
on the 27th of August 2011 but amid tight security. Several people were
prevented from coming to the venue because Lovely threatened to disrupt the
ceremony.
Prior to the wedding scandal, this sexy
thespian had been labeled with different allegations. Rumour has it that Mercy
is in love with traditional juju medicine, that she uses it for men that come
her way, most especially the married ones. She was alleged to have aborted a
pregnancy for a man called Obi, and had a sizzling romance with Ibrahim Damuje
who people believe has many skeletons in his closet. She was also accused of
destroying the marriage of a movie marketer named Victor, who abandoned his wife
so Mercy could have easy access to his heart.
Mercy Johnson |
Popular skin-toning Nollywood actress, Tayo
Odueke (popularly called Sikiratu Sindodo – a name she got from one of the
movies she featured in), was one of the most sought-after actresses in Nollywood
before the sickness that almost claimed her life. Though she is back on her feet
now and doing good, that is not the news for today.
This University
of Lagos alumnus was alleged to have dated popular Nollywood actor cum producer,
Kunle Afod when he just got married, though the affair crumbled like a pack of
badly arranged cards because she was not all that dedicated to it. No sooner had
the illicit relationship crashed than popular National Union of Road Transport
Worker (NURTW) big boy, Musiliu Akinsanya popularly called MC Oluomo swept her
off her feet. She was bought a Murano Jeep and this caused a lot of hullabaloo
between Sikiratu and the man’s wives, who were scared because she was being
over-pampered even as a concubine. Because of her closeness to MC Oluomo, other
wives were ignored and this got them infuriated. It was rumoured she had more
than two miscarriages; MC Oluomo’s wives tried to use this as a reason to force
her to leave their hubby, but she refused. However, those in the know believe
this could have been part of her reason for leaving the NURTW big shot as she
couldn’t conceive.

Faithia Balogun |
Couple of weeks back she was sighted with
another Nollywood actor cum producer, Goriola Hassan, the estranged husband of
big-eyed actress, Ayo Adesanya in an odd location and rumour mongers went to
town with different stories regarding this alliance. Recall the relationship
between Goriola and Ayo crashed after she accused Goriola of battering her, and
many say Faithia has not missed the beating she received from her erstwhile
husband, because Goriola also has passion for battering women.
Her relationship with her husband of many years
actually collapsed because of the allegation of acts of infidelity leveled
against her. She succeeded in dating baritone-voiced Nollywood actor, Funsho
Adeolu who is legally married to his Akwa-Ibom wife and tall and good-looking
Globacom ambassador, Odunlade Adekola while she was married.

even though Banky had another woman who bore him children.Ireti Osayemi |
Funke Adesiyan |
She was also sighted with former governor of
Kano State who also contested for the presidential post, Ibrahim Shekarau though
she refuted the tale of a relationship with him. Dark-skinned Funke is also
rumoured to have dated Sati Rahmon.
Mosun Filani |
Before tying the knot a couple of weeks back,
she was accused to have dated Nollywood actor, producer and director Muyiwa
Ademola, whose marriage was still very fresh, Globacom ambassador Odunlade
Adekola was not left out. She caused a strain between these good actors because
she was simultaneously dating them, and when they got wind of it, they asked her
to choose between them. She was said to have chosen the producer of Iyo Aye
(Salt of the World), Muyiwa and all movie roles from Abeokuta ceased
coming.
After this she relocated to Ibadan for movie
roles but Muyiwa’s wife got wind of the illicit affair and it became a mess
between her and Muyiwa’s wife. She eventually left Ibadan with shame. She is
rarely seen in movies now.
She is one of the newest faces in Nollywood and
she has carved a niche for herself in the entertainment industry, being the
hottest face in the Abeokuta movie setting. But the fact that she is new in the
movie world has not been a hindrance to her. Taiwo Aromokun who has featured in
several Nollywood flicks was allegedly warming Odunlade Adekola’s bed, which
explains why she is so favoured with roles from him.
