In this special report, we bring you the authentic list of ten most
controversial Yoruba actresses and why they enjoy swimming in controversies and
scandals.
Funke Akindele
Nollywood femme fatale and producer
of award winning movie, Jenifa, Funke Akindele is no doubt one of the
most controversial actresses in the industry. The actress whose nine months old
marriage to Kenny Oloyede crashed within a twinkle of an eye had the media
awash with the news of the alleged marriage break-up between her and her
husband. It was alleged that the man sacked her via his Facebook page where he
posted it. It was also rumoured that she had secret affairs with some notable
men, while still being married to the Oshodi big boy. Truly, Miss Akindele may
be rich, famous and widely celebrated, but it seems she enjoys swimming in
controversies.
Foluke Daramola
Foluke Daramola was fingered in the
crisis leading to the breakup of Kayode Salako and his estranged wife, Pastor
Bukola before it finally crashed. Surprisingly, she eventually moved in and
later married Salako in an elaborate wedding, despite the many controversies
trailing their whirlwind affair.
Before this latest controversy,
there was also a story that Daramola was evicted from home by the landlord due
to her inability to pay accumulated rent. With all these negative news, the
busty entertainer keeps attracting headlines, mostly for the wrong reasons.
Bisi Ibidapo-Obe
Bisi Ibidapo-Obe is not new to
controversies. In fact, this beautiful actress has always had one controversy
or the other trailing her. Her alleged relationships with Timaya, K1 and
several others made headlines not too long ago. And recently her controversial
personality took a dive after she announced that Dino Melaye was responsible
for her pregnancy.
The tabloid again was filled with tales
of Obe and Melaye’s alleged romance-which the ex-federal lawmaker denied. Seven
months after she claimed she met the father of her child, she was delivered of
a baby girl and was once again in the news when she named the child after
Melaye, who till date has refused the paternity of the innocent child.
Tayo Odueke (Sikiratu Sindodo)
Popularly known as Sikiratu Sindodo,
a name she got from the movie that launched her into stardom. Her romance with
Musiliu Akinsanya also known as MC Oluomo, one of the top shots at the National
Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Oshodi, Lagos, which ended
prematurely, was well celebrated. While the affair lasted, Oluomo was alleged
to have bought a Murano SUV for her and also rented a duplex in Maryland for
the light-skin actress.
She was also rumoured to have dated
actor and producer, Kunle Afod. Just few months ago, the gist went round town
that she was having an affair with the younger brother of Kunle Afolayan, Aremu
which she has vehemently denied. She is currently rumoured to be in a sizzling
romance with top Fuji artiste, Malaika.
Fathia Balogun
Fathia, the estranged wife of top
Nollywood actor, Saidi Balogun, is surely not free from scandals in the
industry. The story of her crashed marriage is still generating headlines
within and outside Nollywood. She was once rumoured to have fought a female
colleague in the movie industry over a young Ibadan politician, Rotimi Ajanaku,
whom she accused of snatching her man.
She was once reported to be in
sizzling romance with the boss of Corporate Pictures, Abdulrasaq. The affair
almost destroyed the marriage of the top marketer.
Lola Alao
Alao’s name was severally mentioned
in the ugly drama involving her ex good friend, Bisi Ibidapo-Obe and former
member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Dino Melaye, during the Melaye/Obe
paternity war. Unapologetic Alao, while reacting said she was wrongly accused
and implicated in the matter.
Before the paternity dance of shame,
there was the issue of her estranged husband, who painted her bad and said she
was diabolical on the pages of newspapers. But the controversial thespian in a
recent interview said she doesn’t bear grudges against anyone. She also denied
being controversial and troublesome.
Laide Bakare
Laide Bakare’s story is more like a
movie. The recent news of Bakare’s child delivery for the new man in her life
publicly pitched her against her ex. In fact, the very bitter estranged hubby
told the world that the actress cheated on him severally while they were still
married. It was a news many of her fans were not expecting at the time it came.
The reason for that was because only few weeks before then, precisely in early
May 2013, the actress announced, through her publicist, that her marriage to
US-based Olumide Okunfulire was over. It was then reported that she had
travelled to the US with her new husband, Tunde Oriowo, for their honeymoon.
But within the same month of her marriage crash announcement, the news of her child birth came and she named her baby after the new hubby, thus fuelling speculations.
But within the same month of her marriage crash announcement, the news of her child birth came and she named her baby after the new hubby, thus fuelling speculations.
Not too long after that happened,
the story of her famous Range Rover SUV came into the scene. The SUV was said
to have been initially bought for another Yoruba actress by her lover but
things went wrong between them and he started dating Bakare. The dude was
alleged to have later collected the car from his ex-lover and handed it over to
Bakare. Bakare immediately customized it for fear of being whipped with the
same cane that was used to whip the former.
Biodun Okeowo
Sexy
actress, Biodun Okeowo of 'Tolani Oshinrin' fame, is unarguably one of the
actresses swiftly expanding in both profile and controversy in Nollywood.
The
Communications Arts graduate of the Lagos State University first hit headline
for the wrong reason when she arrested and detained a movie marketer for
failing to remit what he made from her self-produced flick, Omo Butty. The
marketer, Native Pictures was dragged to the police station at Lion Building on
Lagos Island, but was later released when his colleagues in the movie marketing
business intervened and begged Okeowo, but not after the marketer had already
spent a night behind bars. Her recent fight with a journalist working with a
soft sell magazine also made headline. The fight which started at a popular fun
spot in Ikeja, was settled at the police station in that same area.
Lizzy Anjorin
That petite and light-complexion
Yoruba movie star, Elizabeth Anjorin, popularly known as Lizzy Anjorin is not
new to scandals is an understatement. According to insiders, she does not court
controversy, rather it courts her.
Fans and keen followers of events in
the industry won’t forget in a hurry, her messy fight with former lover, Ade
Dollar. Also, her roforofo media war with estranged colleague, Iyabo Ojo over
seniority issues made headlines while it lasted.
Anjorin, recently visited Mecca and
converted to Islam with Aisha as her new name. She was unconcerned about the
furore generated by her new move in the media.
Iyabo Ojo
Adore her or detest her, Iyabo Ojo
is not an actress that you can easily ignore. Her acting career has been full
of success, scandals and controversies. The actress, who came into the industry
about 15 years ago, has waded through many scandals and controversies to last
her a life time. Ojo recently had a seniority fight with Lizzy Anjorin and
Fathia Balogun. She was also in the news for allegedly dating popular
politician Hon. Musiliu Obanikoro. Even her newly opened beauty parlour and spa
made headline news with many asking where she got the millions she splashed on
the place.
