    Why I don’t eat, drink at other Nollywood stars home – Veteran actress, Ngozi opens up

    Veteran Nollywood actress Ngozi Nwosu has opened up on her relationship amongst Nollywood entertainers in recent times.

    The 60-year-old actress in an interview with Pulse, spoke about the lack of trust amongst celebrities which makes it hard to relate well within themselves.

    She said, “We no longer relate as we used to anymore. We used to go to our fellow actors’ houses and drink water, but you can’t do that anymore because you don’t know who to trust. All leaves are lying down, but you don’t know the one with a stomach ache.

    The veteran also stated that the films in Nollywood have become very predictable in nature. According to her, people who are incompetent to be producers are now producing movies.

    She maintained that the movies of today are not relatable as they are wishy-washy, due to the lack of research and proper work missed in the process of making the movie.

    She noted how, back then, everyone used to be careful with how they represented themselves, but now, everybody does whatever they want. She added that one can dress naked without caring what people would think.

    She said, “A lot of people who are not supposed to be producers are now producers. Wishy-washy stories every day. There are some stories you read, and you know immediately this is from foreign movies. They are not relatable. People have become lazy. They don’t want to research again because they are after the money.

    “People in our time were more careful with how they represented themselves, but now everybody does whatever they want. Today, if you like, be naked, no one cares”

    Speaking on what has changed between the old Nollywood and new Nollywood, she stated that a lot has changed as now there is a tremendous improvement as in the past, they made use of VHS.

    However, there is still a problem in Nollywood which has to do with time management, rehearsal and script writing.

    She continued saying, “A lot. You see, we started with VHS. So when you talk of improvement, there’s been a lot. The movie industry has improved tremendously. But, the problem is that before we used to work with time, we used to rehearse and discuss. When a writer brings a script, we put it on the table for people to discuss. But today, it’s not like that”.

    Agents of Acrimony – Hilda Dokubo reacts to her ‘suspension’ from Labour Party

    Nollywood actress and chairperson of the Labour Party in Rivers State Hilda Dokubo has dismissed reports about her suspension from the party.

    TheNewsGuru.com(TNG) reported that Dokunbo was suspended by executives of her ward in Asari Toru Local Government Area (LGA) of Rivers over the allegations of financial misconduct, abuse of office and breach of party regulations among others.

    According to the reports, the letter of suspension was addressed to the LP chairman of Asari Toru LGA and signed by some persons who claimed to be the ward executives.

    However, on Friday, Dokubo said that the reports are false, and published letters written by the actual ward executives and Asari Toru LGA executives of LP stating their confidence in her leadership.

    One of the letters described those who announced the false suspension as “agents of acrimony”.

    Dokubo said she had no dealings with the party’s finances at the ward and even at state level.

    “So the world may know that there is no truth in the news making the rounds that I have been suspended by my ward for financial mishandling.

    “Let me start by stating unequivocally that even at the state level I have no dealings with the financials of our dear party, the Labour Party of Nigeria, let alone at the ward level where I am only a member. The party at both levels have financial secretaries and treasurers and I am neither,” she wrote on social media.

    “I am however not ignorant of the cheap attempt to distract the unsuspecting public, and lovers of the Labour Party from the battles we have had to deal with,” Dokubo added.

    In March 2023, LP national chairman Julius Abure announced Dokubo as head of a three-member steering committee for the Rivers State chapter of the party for one month.

    The decision to appoint Dokubo-led team was sequel to the dissolution of a caretaker committee headed by Deinye Pepple.

    Trouble for Toyin Abraham as Nigerians report actress to Netflix; Wikipedia tags actress a bully

    The battle between Nollywood actress, Toyin Abraham and her bullies has taken a new turn as the actress faces heavy backlash from Nigerians for reporting trolls who cursed her for supporting President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 general election to the police for cyberbullying.

    Quick check from TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) shows that Wikipedia had tagged the actress, a bully in her bio on their page. Angry Nigerians have also taken to the video streaming platform, Netflix to demand her movies to be taken down.

    An X-user had shared a screenshot of his letter to Netflix, urging everyone to follow in his footsteps. In the letter that surfaced on social media, the user pleaded with the streaming platform to boycott her movies, citing her ‘oppressive and bullying’ behaviour as reason.

    TNG reports that the an X user had earlier called the actress out  stating that she had arrested his mother.

    Addressing that, Toyin said, “I never arrested your mum. Your friend Ayo was arrested for cyberbullying and cursing and defaming my family, and your mum went there saying she won’t leave without him.”

    In 2023, Abraham had publicly endorsed Tinubu by sharing pictures of her meeting with the then-presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, alongside the governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

    In her post, she expressed renewed hope and confidence in Tinubu’s vision and strategies for addressing the nation’s challenges.

    She wrote, “For the first time, I met the incoming president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and he shared some of his ideas visions and strategies to solve the challenges before us as a nation. Listening to him renewed my hope and reaffirmed why he is my choice.”

    However, ever since the country’s economy nosedived due to Bola Tinubu- led administration’ decisions to remove subsidy which has induced hardship, pushing many Nigerians below the poverty level, netizens have singled out and criticised Abraham for endorsing and defending her political choice.
