What really happened in your previous marriage?
I cannot tell what exactly happened but you see I remember when I was still in secondary school, I use to gather my friends in Gboko Benue State telling them that my bed will be made of iron and look like the ones we see in magazines and what have you. I had a queen thing in my head. But my ex was a lot older. He did not really give me all those sweet things that I fantasized about. I left my ex-lover because of the differences we had, at a time I found out I could not continue with the relationship so I had to opt out.
Your husband seems so young and fresh, he’s younger than you are obviously?
Ah, yes he is, with few years. My husband and I do not share up to 5 years difference and he is not bothered about it.
Has he ever been married before?
No, he’s never been married, no way. This is his last marriage in Jesus name. He is the only son of his parents too from Edo State.
Do you regret your first marriage?
Regret it? My daughter is taller and finer than I am. She is the headgirl of her school. In less than 2 weeks, she is going for a photo shoot. At 16, she has started earning money. She is writing for a magazine and you ask if I regret it? I thank him (Segun Arinze)!! Without him I would not have met my Silver.
Are you not afraid that your marriage might crash again?
No! I reject it. We have our differences, just like other couples do, but it is not enough to say, we no do again. Before we got married, we told our

''Jim Iyke’s Deliverance Is A Fraud, He Was Paid To Do It” – Segun Arinze And Charles Novia Claim
Nollywood celebrities are now giving a piece of their mind after the video of Jim Iyke’s deliverance at Pastor TB Joshua’s church surfaced.
Some of Jim Iyke's colleagues in the Nigerian movie industry claim he was paid by the alleged false prophet to act up the whole deliverance episode.
Segun Arinze who claims Nollywood is now entering church said this via his blackberry phone. Read his statement below;
“This Jim Iyke’s deliverance video at the Synagogue trending looks too contrived. It’s a big embarrassment. Has anyone ever seen demons come out live and speak? Una fit stand demons? Una carry Nollywood enter Church, abi? How much did he get paid? I’m just wondering. Make una stop all these nonsense play. Haba. Stranger than fiction!”
Another Nollywood movie producer, Charles Novia has spoken. The popular Nollywood critic said deliverance issue should be made personal and not as televised by TB Joshua.
Check out his opinion below;
“So, Jim Iyke got ‘delivered’ of an evil demon in a popular church recently? Mmmmm. Chai! Strange things happen. And after Jim Iyke’s deliverance, the ‘new’ Jim Iyke barked out at his PA about his shoes off his legs? Hmmmm. #GTFOH. All I can say is that ‘whatever floats your boat, brother’. Better send those poor women you have dated to same church for same #GTFOH. These Nollywood stars and the rush for ‘deliverance’. Dem need am sef. God save us Producers from some of the demons we cast. #GTFOH.”
“I’m not insulting anyone. I just feel that ‘deliverance’ issues are personal. Not with cameras and klieg lights. De demon na star?#GTFOH. I know I am treading dangerous grounds here esp when it comes to spiritual stuff and celebs but I have a right to comment since it’s public. My moonlighting as a critic makes analytical cynicism a part of my job. We are afraid too much of speaking our minds#GTFOH…I do think though that Jim was brave to go for deliverance. It is a first step to a total recovery. I wish him well. Honestly, I do.
“For those sending me hateful tweets over this deliverance issue, you know the way to the church for yours. I’m unfazed.My tweets are my personal opinions on a topic, if you twist them or it offends you, na you sabi. No skin off my nose.Like I said, Jim has my best wishes. Good actor, he is. We go through a mid-life crisis one time or the other. Genuine God discovery helps.”
‘SEGUN ARINZE IMPREGNATED AND ABANDONED ME’
Nollywood actor and out-going Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), president, Segun Arinze is currently embroiled in a paternity case that has left more questions than answers in its wake.
The popular actor is the subject of a vehement claim by a certain lady, Amara Obiefuna, who is in her late twenties. She insists the married actor is the father of her 9/10 year old child.
The actor was described as, ‘a very mean person’, by the lady, who then went on to say that, ‘he switched off the phone he gave me after our first meeting and I’ve also met him where we discussed the issue of the pregnancy’.
The pair allegedly met and had a brief fling during the filming of a movie in the city of Calabar in 2002.
The product of that liaison ten years ago is what is now the bone of contention.
However, when called for comments and a chance to ascertain the validity or otherwise of the claims, the ebullient actor, apparently finding the issue distasteful, shut the question down.
‘Please, please, please… Abeg, eh? Over and out‘, he said, before abruptly ending the call.
In the absence of a DNA test, it remains to be seen how this one will pan out for the actor, who is, at the moment, in the midst of an ongoing controversy in the actors’ guild elections
SUBSIDY REMOVAL:HOW RITA DOMINIC,MONALISA CHINDA,SEGUN ARINZE,OTHERS SOLD THEIR CONSCIENCE FOR N200,000
It is no longer news that concerned masses of Nigerian nation are fighting back with everything left in them to ensure that President Goodluck Jonathan will not remove fuel subsidy,which has automatically inflated the price of petroleum products from N65 to N141 per liter.
Little do the citizens of this nation know that while they are crying and gnashing their teeth over the subsidy issue,the Federal Government has been busy doling out millions of naira to buy over the conscience of famous and prestigious citizens of this country.
On Friday December 30,2011 at Eko Hotel and Suites,Victoria Island,Lagos,it became the turn of Nigeria movie industry to collect their own share of the “Ghana-must-go” loads of naira notes that have changed hands over the fuel subsidy removal.
At the very moment when Nigerian “suffering masses” have not forgiven Nollywood stars for campaigning and voting Mr. President into office as a result of all the millions they got,they have done yet another grievous offense by accepting his bags of money to support fuel subsidy removal and keep mute while the poor masses are crying.
The closed door meeting took place during the Nollywood Forum entitled,”Understanding Deregulation”.Mr. Oronto Douglas,who represented Mr. President,outlined various promises and millions that will be allocated to various sectors of economy, states and local governments when fuel fuel subsidy removal comes to existence,concluding that economic development will take off through all the billions that will be realized from subsidy.
After throwing questions on what all the money that will definitely come to the fat pocket of federal government through fuel subsidy removal will be used for,stakeholders of Nollywood who came en mass promised to support removal on the grounds that President Jonathan will fulfill all his promises to allocate all the money that will be realized to various areas of the economy,states and local governments or Nollywood will be the very first industry that will rise up and revolt against him.
We are begging Mr. President because all of us in Nollywood went out of our way to campaign and vote him into office,since he assumed office we have seen ourselves being asked by people to go and meet Jonathan anytime we complain about the situation of things in the country,because they are aware of the things we did during the campaign period.
So, Mr. Jonathan should come to our aide and look into the $200 million grant that he promised entertainment industry.Stakeholders stated
Even though he answered all the questions,comments and motions as he could,Mr. Douglas did not visit Nollywood film makers empty handed as bundles of money packed in “Ghana-must-go” bags exchanged hands in the venue.
We reliably gathered that these Nollywood stars got N200,000 each for supporting fuel subsidy removal.Those present at this close door meeting between federal government of Nigeria and Nollywood stakeholders include;President of Association of Movie Producers,Zik Zulu Okafor,President of Actors’ Guild of Nigeria,Segun Arinze,Zeb Ejiro,Chico Ejiro,Frank Dallas,Mathias Obahiagbon,Peace Anyiam Osigwe,Paul Obazele,Fidelis Duker,Chike Bryan,Sunny Mcdon,Abubakar Yakubu,Rita Dominic,Monalisa Chinda,Florence Onuma,Charles Novia,Fred Amata,Zack Orji,Chairman Actors’ Guild of Nigeria Board of Trustees,Ifeanyi dike,Emma Ogugua,and many others.
