Iyabo Ojo Talks About Her Fashion Weakness & Mistake
In an exclusive interview with
Punch, Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo revealed her fashion weakness and her
infamous ‘she-devil make-up’ she now admits is a mistake. Here’s what she told
the newspaper;
What is your weakness when it
comes to fashion?
I would say perfumes and shoes. I
have over 50 bottles of perfumes and they are all designers while I have about
200 pairs of shoes; I have actually lost count of how many shoes I own. I know
how it sounds but I am a shoe freak, it could be high or low, it could be
slippers, sandals or sneakers depending on what I am wearing. I love shoes
generally and I just can’t stop buying them. I also love my perfumes.
What is the most laughable fashion
mistake you have ever made?
There was a period that I used to
wear what was referred to as the ‘she-devil make-up’, it is when you have to
draw a very long line on your eyebrow and you draw it up at the end. I used to
do that type of make-up but now when I see my old pictures where I was on that
make-up, I just laugh. I ask myself if I actually did that. I think things like
that change with age and time.

ordinary person.
Confessions Of An Entertainer By Etcetera
Bless me father for I have sinned.
My last confession was two days ago. Father, I am an entertainer and I have
been lying to my fans for many years. Really? Tell me about these lies my son.
Father, where do I start from? The lies are so many that I don’t know where to
start. Go ahead son, you start from anywhere, the Lord is listening.
Father, I lied that I was signed
by a foreign record label. I also lied that I am a brand ambassador of one of
the telecommunication firms. Whereas I was only paid to make the jingle and
later feature on the TV commercial. I also lied to the public that my album
sold six million copies. My son, why all these lies? Father, I am not the only
liar in the industry. We are all liars. Lying is part of the job’s description.
Are you serious? Yes father, I am being very frank with you. My lies are even
mild compared to some of my colleagues.

no two ways to it and the only reason for their venture into their new found interest has something to do with money.

embracing partisan politics is purely monetary. Let us call a spade a spade. If
you tell me that you want to go into politics to serve the people, I would want
to look at your record first.
“I want to see what you have done
to better the lives of the people in your immediate community. How many
boreholes have you sunk in the community? How many hours of community service
have you given for free over the last four or five years? How well are you
known as somebody who yearns for improvement in social development?” she told

Alamieyeseigha’s Son’s Death, FG Biased- Keyamo
Lagos Lawyer Festus Keyamo has
condemned the swift response the Federal Government gave to the former Governor
of Bayelsa, when he lost his son last weekend in Dubai. According to Keyamo,
the Federal Government has paid little or no attention to the call of Mrs
Falode, who urged the Government to please intervene in the killing of her
young son, who was pushed to his death from a high-rise apartment in Dubai.
“Up till this minute, the Federal
Government has not issued a single statement calling on the U.A.E authorities
to fish out the killers of Toba Falode. The Federal Government has played the
ostrich in the case of Toba, leaving the mother and family grieving alone. The
question is, with the swift response in the case of Oyamuyefa Alamieyeseigha,
does the Federal Government value the lives of some of its citizens more than
others?”, Festus Keyamo asked in a statement released by him today.
He however urged the Government to
still look into the killing of Toba Falode, a young Nigerian schooling in Dubai
who was murdered on February 15th in the country.

Take Back Your Power- Regina Askia Writes
“There are people around us who
will not stop trying #ish. You call a tete a tete and ask really what the
problem is and they swear by all heavens they have no issues with you and try
to tell you it’s in your mind, but at every turn you all but fall into a ditch
they dug or a set up they spurn. You then apologize for whatever it is that
causing them the annoyance and inducing such a reaction towards you but they
keep coming at you relentlessly with new improved bull *ish. You avoid them,
stop all interactions but they mistake your silence for weakness.
Who are these people? They are
those who spin tales to color you bad at your job, those who carry falsehood to
the paparazzi, those who blinded by jealousy and the “who she think say she be
syndrome” make it a priority on their agenda to put you in a poor light. Those
that keep coming at you , coming at your family (the relentless side chick) or
coming at your children (big mistake on their part) and all the constant
annoyances that keep digging at your heels.
