Mercy Johnson’s Wedding Not Cancelled!

Contrary to stories circulating online which has it that Nollywood Actress Mercy Johnson’s up-coming wedding is cancelled as a result of issues surrounding the marital status of his soon to be husband ‘Prince Odi’, the actress’ PR has stated categorically on radio that, the wedding is GONNA come on… Walahi so Mercy is ready to marry someone’s husband? What kind of desperation be this?

So I decided not to post anything on the on-going Mercy Johnson’s ‘husband’ snatching saga for several personal reasons. However, I got into a conversation with an industry friend today and for some reason, we landed on the issue of Mercy Johnson and Prince Odi.

I could not understand why she cannot simply call off the wedding. After all, it is more than obvious that her soon to be husband- Prince Odi has been lying or been hiding a lot from her.

How can Mercy Johnson proceed to marry a man who failed to tell her the truth about his children, a man who lied about his marital status among others? My friend said something along the lines that, a Gossipa whispered to her that, Mercy Johnson is probably pregnant and that is the reason why she cannot just call off the wedding… I am also told that, Mercy Johnson’s family has washed their hands out of the decision making on whether the wedding should come on or be called off. The family surely prefers the latter but then it seems the pregnancy and the lot that Mercy Johnson has invested into the whole relationship-wedding planning, publicity and crap is eating into her head so she cannot even make a decision… Hmmm! So Mercy Johnson is pregnant huh? Source: gossipa/nigeriashowbiz.com

Nigerian Pastor: Ghanaian Actors Are Bewitching Nollywood Actors & Actresses And Killing Them

Following the controversial death of another prolific thespian in the Nigeria movie industry, Nollywood, the General Overseer of Consuming Fire Prayer Ministry, Ogba, Lagos, Pastor Sebastine Ndu, has claimed that rivalry is the cause of recurrent deaths in the Nollywood. The clergyman, who reiterated that Nigerian actors need total deliverance against the scourge, said that the actors are being attacked by their counterparts in Ghana and South Africa. “Nigerian actors have been outshining these people for many years and they (the foreigners) are desperate to take over. So Nollywood actors need total deliverance against all forces that may be coming from outside or within. The deaths are beyond ordinary,” Ndu stated. In a chat with NollywoodReel, the man of God stressed that “in Hollywood and other movie sectors of the world, actors hardly die predominantly unlike it is in Nigeria and that calls for serious concern.” The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, had earlier told members of the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood and entertainers at large, that for them to be fulfilled in their chosen career, they need something supernatural. Pastor Adeboye, made this statement on Sunday, 5 June, 2011, during a special prayer service organised for practitioners of the Nigerian entertainment industry at the Throne of Grace, Ebute-Meta, Lagos, headquarters of the church. The programme was organised in a bid to pray against sudden deaths and negative occurrences that seem to have engulfed the entertainment industry, Nollywood in particular, for some years now. Some of the movie personalities that attended the programme include Mike Bamiloye of Mount Zion Ministry and his wife, National President of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, Segun Arinze, Prince Jide Kosoko and his wife, Henrietta, Wale Adenuga, Pa James, Justus Esiri, Rachael Oniga, Hakeem Rahman, Yetunde Wunmi and Esther Idowu Philips, a.k.a. Iya Rainbow. Others were Femi Ogedengbe, Kelvin Ikeduba, Ajala Jalingo, Madam Saje, Ayo Adesanya and Bimbo Oshin, to mention a few. During his brief sermon and prayer session for the entertainers, Pastor Adeboye acknowledged that an average actor in Nigeria is extremely talented, but hinted that without supernatural connections, they cannot have a fulfilled career. The popular clergyman explained that “success in life requires something supernatural. Talent alone is not enough,” adding that if success is being measured by hard work, labourers in Wharf should be the most successful. “Entertainers in Nigeria are hard working and talented, but there is something missing. David would have died unknown but for divine intervention, but unfortunately, most people turn to the devil for help,” Adeboye said. He therefore urged Nigerian entertainers to move closer to God, stressing that He is the only one who can crown their efforts and protect them from terrible occurrences. Adeboye added that a lot of entertainers have even died unknown with their talents simply because they could not connect with the supernatural power that can make their aspirations come true. While citing King David in the Bible as an example, he said “David was a talented singer, but for years, he was only singing for the sheep. But when the king was in trouble, he needed a good singer to pacify him and that was how someone recommended David. He later became the king despite rumblings from other people. That is the supernatural connection I am talking about.” So far, this year alone, notable thespians like Alasari, Ashley Nwosu and Yemisi Eleto have died, the latest addition being Sam Loco Efe.  Source:

Aki and Pawpaw Weep For Sam Loco

If only tears could bring back the dead, then the famous duo of Aki and Pawpaw (Chinedu Ikedieze and Osita Iheme), would have done that for their departed on-screen dad, Sam Loco-Efe, who died in Owerri, Imo State, on August 7. Aki and Pawpaw have not stopped weeping and lamenting since the painful death of the iconic entertainer, who starred severally as their screen dad in numerous Nollywood flicks, was made public. While reacting with tears in his eyes, stunned Aki, who still finds it very difficult to believe that the veteran actor is dead, said he would continue to relish the memories of their on-screen encounters. “Sincerely speaking, it’s still very hard to believe that Marshall is dead. He was someone I learnt a lot from when it comes to script analysis, interpretation and delivery. Marshall was a masterpiece. I will miss him dearly, especially his humour and intelligence. His sense of humour was out of this world, I will miss him dearly,” he weeps. Also lamenting, Aki’s twin-brother in Nollywood, Pawpaw in a quaky voice declared that Sam Loco’s death was a monumental loss, not only to Nollywood, but the entire entertainment industry globally. “I’m deeply pained over the death of Marshall. He was a hard working and very nice man. He was somebody that constantly keeps you lively and entertained if you are with him. He inspired me right from the first time we met on the set of my first movie, which I luckily did with him. Marshall will greatly be missed by me because he had no duplicate in the entire acting world. Rest in peace my Marshall,” he cries. In his tempestuous life time, Sam Loco and the Nollywood dynamites thrilled and tantalized movie buffs in many comic blockbusters. In fact, it is believed that Sam Loco’s impact on their careers was one of the things that accelerated their rapid growth in Nollywood.

Actress: Agya Koo Can’t Bonk Me

Linda Abbey, actress and wife of celebrated actor comedian Augustine Abbey popularly called Idikoko, is mad over reports that she is having a clandestine love affair with top Ghanaian actor Agya Koo.

She has threatened to drag to court all the media houses that carried the story, including News-one.

“How can I be chasing him for love? Agya Koo cannot sleep with me because I am a responsible, married woman and I do not cheat on Idikoko. What you saw was just a movie and I was only being professional but it does not mean I want him to have sex with him,” Linda Abbey added.

News-one carried a story last week that after Linda Abbey and Agya Koo who were paired as secret lovers in a new movie had fallen head over heels in love with the actor. I don’t know who your sources were but I will say they lied to you and that is why I want to take you guys on. It takes time to build a reputation and somebody just gets up to dent it like that.” “They say in every rumour, there is some iota of truth in it but this is so fake and annoying. Do you really believe I will be chasing Agya Koo and he will be chasing me as well? I have a good working relationship with Agya Koo and that is all. I know he is a responsible man with a wife, so why would we do that? You guys must be careful…really hurt my feelings but my husband has been cooling me down. Idikoko is the only man I decided to be with and that is final,” she explained.

Kareen Explains Her Fake Boobs

Kareen Igho, co-winner of the Big Brother Africa Amplified pan-African contest, has explained why she has artificial breasts.

“People are quick to judge you. People just think I got the boobs just because I wanted to. But I’m sitting here and still wishing I had my real boobs.

I miss having my real boobs. I got these implants at a very young age.

There was a reason for it. I had lumps. I had to take the lumps out. The doctor told me the lumps might come back again.

I had to ask him what we should do. I asked him if the lumps would come back if I put silicone.

And my breast had become flatter after they removed the lumps. I think he said it would remove the risk and I would have my nice breast back again.

So I decided to put the silicone. I did this without telling my mother….My mother was going through her marital problems.

My sister who was just 18 had the same issue. She had lumps as well.

I didn’t tell my mum until I told the whole world on TV,” she was quoted by news2onlinenigeria.
