I DON’T SUPPORT JOBLESS WOMEN - OGE OKOYE

Nollywood star, Oge Okoye, has kicked against women who prefer to be full housewives, saying it is not proper.

The actress said she likes women taking up jobs to cater for their family and said she is used to such lifestyle.

Oge Okoye told City People that, “I am used to it and I am a hard working girl. I don’t believe in women just sitting down there and doing nothing. I do my movie and take care of my kids as well. You don’t let your business image to interfere with your home.”

Recalling her struggling days in the acting world, Oge Okoye disclosed that her late father never supported her because of his views about actors.

“They (parents) didn’t really let me go, especially for my father. He said acting was for the never do well but that was what I really wanted. But when I lost my dad in 2000, I decided to go ahead with it and my mum was in support of it and that was it,” she said.

Is Oge Okoye’s Marriage Still Intact?

One of the questions on the lips of some ‘busy bodies’ in Nollywood is ‘if the marriage of sultry actress, Oge Okoye is still intact or has already crashed like a badly arranged pack of cards, just like some marriages in the industry?’

It would be recalled that the Anambra State-born screen goddess got married to one Stanley Duru some years ago, but both of them have not been seen together for some time now.
While the man is based abroad, Oge Okoye is in Nigeria and some have asked if they are running a distant marriage.

The actress recently took to social media to show off her adorable children; a boy and a girl. The talented script-interpreter did not mention or give credits to any man for the wellbeing of the kids; instead, she sent her 'kisses' to God for being her 'best daddy and soul provider'.

She captioned the photograph, "High above the sky....into the clouds/to the moon then back...that's how much Mum loves these two lovely bunnies...right about time...Thank you my best Daddy/my Very own Best Friend/ my Soul Provider / Giver of Peace/that's you GOD.muahhhhhhhh!!"

Those who claimed to know hinted that the marriage of the fair and pretty actress has hit the rock. They further alleged that Oge Okoye has been responsible for the upkeep of the children. The rumour-mongers also claimed that both parties have separated and have kept this away from the media.

I Once Made Oge Okoye Cry In Public - Fresh

An except from a Fast-rising Nigerian artiste, Ngwoke Samuel better known as Samzy Fresh in  interview with Nigeriafilms.com, explains that up and coming artistes in Nigeria have piracy and exuberant fees charged by on-air-personalities to battle with.

What do you think are the challenges being faced by up and coming artistes in Nigeria? 

One of the challenges we face as up and coming artistes is getting our songs on air for airplay on radio and television stations. For someone who is not under any management, the bills are not encouraging at all but we must not give up.

Who charges this money and what is the price range?

The presenters, they charge from N100,000 upwards. That's if you want your song to gain good air play. I am not saying they should talk about you and play your songs for free, but they should also consider good music as well.

After making such payment, how long does song stay on air?

For about two to three months, but I think a good management solves the problems. That's why I am hoping for one.

Why do artistes now sing about booty and females rather than passing a message with their songs? 

There are different kinds of people in the world and they all see the need to do different genres of music, but I try to pass a message with my music. There was a time I performed my song ‘Tonight’ recently at Sheraton hotel in Ikeja and popular Nollywood actress, Oge Okoye, was crying on stage. I actually dedicated the song to her, and she couldn't hold her feelings, the next was for her to start crying.
