I'm Not A Bad Girl, I Pray 5 Times A Day - Halima Abubakar

Aside her knack for intelligently interpreting movie roles, Halima Abubakar, has over the years been dubbed one of Nollywood's bad girls because of her flare to stay fashionable by wearing revealing clothes.
The actress cum producer wants to correct that impression, arguing that she's a good girl, prays 5 times a day but likes to stay stylish.

" People tend to misunderstand me a lot. Most people I have encountered in my life do not know me but they judge me based on my outward appearance. When they get to know the real me, they are shocked. People are quick to judge and assume. I believe people should actually be patient enough to know me before they begin to judge me.

Some people say I am not as bad as I am being portrayed. I am not a bad girl. I pray five times a day even though my Muslim brothers and sisters don’t believe I do. They come on my instagram page and rant. When they should be focusing on how to move Nigeria forward, they come on my instagram page and begin to bash me. I am human, so I react sometimes but most times, my fans reply them."

Halima was also fond of committing lots of fashion errors and she defends herself thus,
"I was a young girl experimenting with fashion and I stopped when I got tired. I did not change my style because of anybody. I wasn’t doing anything extraordinary; it was just a short dress or bum shorts. When you look at my age at that time, it was a normal thing that a teenager does. I grew out of it but in movies, I wear skimpy clothes sometimes. I don’t wear them off set any more. I need to be responsible to my fans and my family.

My parents do not like me wearing short things. My mother says if I want to wear such, I should cover my hair. She says if I want to wear miniskirt, I should cover my hair but it cannot be covered in every movie. The funny thing is that at home, I do not wear skimpy dresses. I don’t know how people were able to single me out of the crowd. I was just a teenager having fun," she told Punch.

Well, on how she has been able to keep her home front amidst tight schedule on set, Mide disclosed to Ynaija that she uses various s3x positions to hold her husband to herself.

In responding to the viral claim by a UK based Nigerian pastor, Olugbenga Oladejo, who warned all married couples against unholy sexual acts and immoral positions claiming the only position that is holy in God’s sight is the face-to-face (missionary style) position with the husband on top, the actress stated that if she had not practiced other s3x positions, she would have lost her husband to other ladies.

According to her, “One style what? If it is only one style that I have been doing with my husband, I would have lost him to all these skinny girls out there. If any wife decides to stick the missionary style she will lose him to the girls out there who are ready to go the extra mile and do lots of crazy stuff of bed to make the man happy.”

“Me I do the doggi3 style, spice it up, everything. I do all the styles please. I will advise women not to let anybody mislead them, women, please always have good sex with your husband so he won’t have any cause to go outside,” she added.

I Had My First Tattoo At 15 On My Boobs - Halima Abubakar

Since Halima Abubakar became a household name in the film industry, she has remained on the lips of many movie buffs for a long time. For some time, she was controversial, but lately, the Kogi State-born actress turned producer has been on a low profile. 

But recently, she disclosed that after starting her acting career at 13, she got her first tattoo on her on one of her boobs at 15.

“Tattoos are addictive a bit although it’s painful, but I just have a few. The ones I have are not too common or exposed for everyone to see. It is the tattoo on my breast that everybody knows because I have had it since I was young. I had that tattoo at age 15 and I started acting when I was 13," she said in a recent interview.

“I don’t have a boyfriend. I used to have what my ideal kind of man should be but not anymore as long as we can tolerate each other, I think that is it. Marriage is not an easy thing and I’m sure those in it can attest to this.

“I don’t want to say too much so that they will not say I’m trying to discourage those who are married because I am not. But do I want to get married? That is another question. I see a lot of people’s marriages and it’s not something that I want to be in,” she also said.

I want someone that will understand what a relationship entails, someone that will know it’s not just about having someone you call your girlfriend, never cheat on you, all those things,” she gushed.

Upcoming Actresses Always Want To Feel Among Easily - Grace Amah

Nollywood actress, Grace Amah, says the new crop of actresses in the industry are truly favoured because they never went through what some of their senior colleagues in the industry went through before getting movie roles.

According to her, nowadays, an actress can get a movie role just by getting the attention of a filmmaker, and at the end of the day, sees herself as a star.

The mother of one said even though she does not have any issue with such, Grace expressed her dissatisfaction at the attitudes put up by these up-and-coming actresses.

“I think I’ll just say that they are favoured in the sense that the things we went through are certainly not the things they are going through right now.

“Someone could now just walk in or a producer could just see someone on the road and call the person to do a role. Before you know what’s happening, the person is being seen everywhere as a star,” Grace said in an interview.

“I don’t have an issue with people being stars but it’s really unbecoming for someone who just came in yesterday to begin to rub shoulders with people who have been there. Some don’t have respect for elders.
“When they see their senior colleagues, they expect them to say ‘Hello’ to them and even when the senior colleague goes the extra mile to say ‘Hello’, they snub them. That’s rubbish. It’s just so bad that we don’t have ethics in Nollywood,” she added.

Angela Okorie And Prince Ekeh Back Again After The South Africa Scandal

Ex- Delta soap beauty model cum actress, Angela Okorie has declared she has willingly forgiven Muma Gee’s husband, Prince Ekeh over the role he played in the scandal involving her and a South-African based Nigerian, Prosper, in 2014.

According to the controversial light skinned actress, Prince Ekeh ate the humble and begged for forgiveness before she took him back as a 'dear colleague'.

“I have forgiven Prince Ekeh because he came to apologise to me that he’s sorry for all that happened. If he hadn’t come to beg me, I wouldn’t have let it go. However, as far as taking him out of the country again is concerned, my brother, that one is out of the question. If someone tries to shoot you the first time, and you survive, would you want the person to shoot you again?” she asked rhetorically.

“If there’s a producer that wants us to do a job together, yes, its okay, I’ll do it. But for me to take him out of the country and get into this kind of mess again…for someone to start blackmailing me over what I did not do, no! I wouldn’t want that to repeat itself. Do you know what that incident could have caused in my life? If my husband isn’t somebody who understands me, trusts me, my marriage would have been over by now.”

Speaking further, she said, “Don’t get me wrong…I can still suggest him for movies like I’ve been doing before. As a matter of fact, I’m the one who suggested him for a job he went to do in the US sometime ago.

It was my connection he used in getting visa to the US, do you understand? I can still be doing that for him based on the kind of person I am, and the type of heart I have," she told Vanguard.

Good sex turns me on – Actress Paschaline Alex

 Budding Nollywood actress, Pascaline Alex doesn’t mince words when it comes to our feelings about sex. The sexy actress has said one of the things that turn her on is sex. “Let me skip the ‘Holier than thou’ stuff, sex sometimes turn me on too. But good sex follows when your man is good” she says.

“I think it is between two matured people, sex should not be a forceful act. I think it’s something that comes out from the mind, you want to do it and this person wants to do it, it’s a neutral thing. I tell people sometimes that you don’t have to force a lady or force a guy to have sex with you, it’s just an attraction. It’s just what the heart speaks and what you want to do at that moment. I see sex as a neutral thing; it’s not a forceful act. I feel sad when I hear of rape in this our generation, it’s not good. Sex is not rape; you don’t have to put it in a rape kind of way so I think sex is a very neutral thing, it’s a thing of the mind” she added.
When wave-making Yoruba actress, Seyi Edun expressed her preference for pre-marital sex in a chat with Potpourri a couple of months ago, the story went viral because when the actress talks many listen. As much as Seyi didn’t so much fancy how people made a meal of the story, her view still echoes and continues to serve as a good word of wisdom to many youngsters.

“Sex is a good thing, we are all sexual beings. Our sexuality is linked with the rest of our lives. It’s a sort of bond between two people, a form of expression that goes beyond the ordinary intimacy shared. It’s a good thing” she says

“Once you are an adult and you think you are ready, go for it. Personally, I think sex before marriage is good. Because it will make you know your partner well before going into marriage. So, if there is anything you are not comfortable with, you have an ample time to correct it before actually going into the lifetime contract of marriage. Doing it before marriage also reduces adultery and fornication. It is also a good way of studying your partner before you get committed to him or her” she added.
