According to gist scooped by us, his new house is not too far from his old abode. In fact, both are tucked inside the posh area of Lagos.

But what is causing problem at the moment is the ownership of the new house the Fuji maestro packed into. While his manager, Afolabi Oyekoya, gave an impression that Pasuma built the mansion, rumour mongers claim the house was rented by the musician and not his.

They further alleged that Pasuma was forced out his former house, which they claimed made him to quickly rent another place inside the estate to avoid embarrassment.

WHAT TRULY WENT WRONG BETWEEN MYSELF AND RITA DOMINIC - MONALISA CHINDA

Monalisa China and Rita Dominic are two heavyweights in the Nigerian movie industry fondly called Nollywood.

Though they never really competed in the industry like Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo are doing in the world of football at the moment, but they were stars in the industry that had a lot to fight for.

Both actresses were active in Nollywood when there were several talents fighting for prominence and it was natural to have friction.

There was a time Mona, as Monalisa Chinda is fondly, and Rita Dominic were rumoured to be at loggerheads.

But in a recent interview with Punch, Monalisa explained why she is no longer closer to Rita as many people have suggested.

Explaining, she said, “Rita Dominic and I are not at loggerheads. We just drifted apart and she is still my sister. We went to the same school.

I CAN ACT AS GAY, WOMAN IN MOVIES - ACTOR BLOSSOM CHUKWUJEKWU

Often times, some actors have had reasons to reject scripts based on their depth or characters. In some cases, actors, no matter the amount of money dangled before them, will not agree to take part in films they are not comfortable with.

For Nollywood actor, Blossom Chukwujekwu, accepting scripts that come his way is another avenue for him to explore and display his talent and the story-line behind such roles.

Blossom explained to Naij in a recent interview that there is no role he cannot play as far as he can interpret it and make it look believable. He further said he can also reject scripts when he is not ready to explore.

When asked if he can play g@y in a film, the actor said, “I am an actor and we are interpreters of truth. There’s no role I can’t play, even a woman.

"It just depends on when I am ready to explore that creative depth. If I decide to turn down any role, it will be because I don’t agree with the message of the story or the producers aren’t doing it for the right reasons or I am simply not ready to explore that depth.”

SEGUN ARINZE IS AN ILLITERATE AND SHOULD BE SENT TO JAIL - EMEKA IKE

Embattled Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike, is just not ready to take things cool with anyone that crosses his part in any form as words abound in his stomach for such fellow that dares his personality.

The actors has just been awaken to the report made by fellow actor, Segun Arinze, in a recent interview, where he said Emeka should grow up and stop parading himself as the President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria.

Emeka who does not seem cool by the remark made by Arinze, has noted that the actor should be locked up in jail for speaking about issue that is still in court.

“I heard Segun Arinze was interviewed and he said so many things about me and nobody asked me for my own side. I don’t think it was a balanced report. Segun Arinze did not say anything meaningful, he was just cursing himself. That is not how to handle legal matters. In legal matters, we take things from the law’s point of view. Segun that is talking to the journalist is supposed to be behind bars because he committed a crime that should have sent him to jail. There was an order that he violated by bringing in Ibinabo as the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria. I have been saying this since. That is why Ibinabo’s tenure was called ‘contentious.’

While driving home his point with Punch, he stressed that trading words with the actor is a waste of time since he has been unable to read and understand the legal terms of the court order.

“Why should we the educated people allow market people to talk? I am a very cerebral person and I don’t deal with men who cannot read and do not understand the legalities of the paper they have in their hand. I cannot be trading words with a common street boy because if you did not go to school, you cannot understand some legal issues. So, he cannot assess the judgement of the court of law.”

HOW UTI SPENT HIS BBA N30 MILLION PRIZE

Former BBA star and Nollywood actor, Uti Nwachukwu, says he does not pray for his level to reduce but rather he should continue to soar high after winning the N30 million cash price from the competition.

The actor explained that he has been able to stay relevant because he has been hard working and not like other people who will get some certain amount of money and then spend it unwisely.

Uti explained that he cannot allow the thirty million naira to get into his head rather it will be better he invest it well so it can give him an amount like N300 million to fall back on.

“I have always been a hard worker. I have not stopped working. It is not like I will just sit around and be lazy all day because my account is fat. I have been working and I am not even thinking of the millions (I got from the BBA) right now. I mean, it’s just N30 million – not like it’s N300 million.

So, I am thinking of constantly working hard to make sure I can turn the N30 million to N300 million within a short period of time,” he told Thisday newspaper.

He noted that he has spent part of the money into some business ventures which have been yielding returns gradually and would continue to work like a mad man.

“I have one or two things I’m doing with the money presently – small investments here and there – which I’d rather not disclose now. But trust me, I’m not one of those people that got the money and squandered it. It made me work harder because the responsibilities increased, and you don’t want to lose that. That’s why I work like a mad man,” he noted.

I love it because it compliments and completes even the simplest look. I hardly wear make-up, so, my sunglasses serve as a protection of some sort for my face.
