“Have you heard?” “Heard what?” “Actress and movie producer, AfroCandy will give Anita Joseph a pornographic role in an upcoming movie.” The news is agog in Gossip Villa. Trust Nollywood lovers, they can hardly wait to see the movie. Anita’s earlier explanation (on the contrary) obviously fell on deaf ears. “Afrocandy and I are friends. She did an audition; I went to help out in the casting. I am part of the movie too. It is an African epic movie, not a porn movie.” The self-styled Sexyllency had explained. For the records, Anita is so passionate about acting that she is reported to have turned down a ‘been to’s marriage proposal on reluctance to quit acting. Next time, you see Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie, know that you are seeing a virtuous wife. That is, going by her scintillating interpretation of a longsuffering housewife in a Nollywood movie,  Tomorrow Never Comes.  Angela’s only crime in the movie is that her mother-in-law did not attend her marriage cere...

In a piece titled "The Chameleon in Theodore Orji", former Abia state Governor, Orji Uzor Kalu bared his thoughts about his successor and one time friend, Theodore Orji, calling him a chameleon.

I doubt if he still carries himself with the same simplicity and can­dour, for which I have known him, now he has tested power as governor. I say so, because power has a way of intoxicating some people, especially those who never dreamed of getting it. I must openly sub­mit that I was taken in by his facial ap­pearance, not knowing that deep inside he was a different person all together – a chameleon. Subsequent events...

Article written by Charly Boy. Enjoy below... A soulmate marriage does not at all mean that you have found someone you match up with on all the cards – on all the issues, on everything. That would be the most deadly dull thing to even imagine. Instead, it means you've found someone and they don't ever want to blow out that little light inside you. And you feel the same way about them.  Growing up, seeing my Dad and Mum play the happy couple,  holding hands, stealing kisses, made marriage look so easy and beautiful. Hummmm for where?  Continue.. Don't get it twisted, I saw them argue and quarrel as if they couldn't stand each other, but the next minute, they were back to their normal routine of holding hands and stealing kisses, even till my father passed at 97. Parents shouldn't really worry that children never listen to them, they should worry that they are always watching them. I always had my reservations about 'happily ever after' especial...
