With the numerous admirers, and women wanting more than platonic relationships, it becomes a long road to marriage for these actors.

Chidi who is in his mid thirties was the anchorman for Gulder Ultimate Search one and two.

Chidi was so sure then that both of them were alter bound.

Jim Iyke

With or without acting I am a fine man, women appreciate me - Clem Ohameze
It was so brazen of star actor Clem Ohameze who has featured in most of the Nigeria movies to admit he is a fine man and appreciated by women. But he does not see this virtue loudly flaunted by him as an excuse to sleep with his fans. " I am a fine man with or without acting, I get appreciated by women but first and fore- most I respect my marriage, and I don't sleep with my fans", he said.

Fans
Although he is handsome, tall and with a pointed nose, the Nollywood actor says to anybody who is willing to listen that he respects his marriage so well and will not lay down his reputation and mess around with other women, no matter how much they woo or appreciate his looks. Ohameze is conservative and says he does not like being called a star, although admitting that movie watchers like to see his face and most times buy films because he featured. "Everybody is a star and it depends on the way you look at it, it' s only natural that you get attracted to the opposite sex". Giving a peep into his world of admirations to the opposite sex, he informed that most of his fans are women. "If I am not exaggerating, about 92 per cent of my fans are women and I still believe that it is only natural that you get attracted to the opposite sex. But that notwithstanding, I respect my marriage, I don't engage in any inordinate relationship with them because that will make me cheap". To drive home his reservation about such relationships, Ohameze insists " it can debase a man. Although I really appreciate girls, appreciation should not go skin-deep. One should not capitalise on the fact that many people call you a superstar and then take that as an advantage on people".
Not just acting
The Nollywood actor with diploma in Mass Communication, and a degree in Sociology from the University of Port-Harcourt said before he joined the movie industry in 1996 that he was a businessman. "Outside acting, I still do other businesses. I was a contractor before I went into the industry, my entry into acting was through happenstance because it was a friend who introduced me to the movie industry. 'The friend was a schoolmate of mine, and he believed I would do better in the industry. So when he was going to direct and produce for Hint Magazine, he invited me for audition which I attended and surprisingly, I took the lead role, it was blissful and God has been very wonderful." He added that although he was nervous his first time, especially working with big stars in the industry as time went on he was able to overcome.
Embarrassing moment
Speaking with Saturday Sun, the Imo State-born actor who calls his fans attitude towards him as something a little away from outright embarrassment caused by excessive excitement said " the way they behave towards me is out of much excitement, in the sense that most times they don't know how to contain their feelings when they see you. They act like people forced to do one stupid thing or the other, but if you understand them, you will know the reason. That understanding I have developed over time makes me understand that they are not actually out to embarrass".

Immuned to criticism
"Every role is challenging and no story is small because I give myself into every movie, and I believe that I've created a standard which people look up to". To underscore his resolve to always strive higher, he has also concluded that criticisms would never take him aback. "Instead of allowing critics to have the better of me, especially those that don't actually point out the errors to correct or build but to bring down, I would rather take seriously every movie I take part in. "Because of my liberal approach to my roles in all acts, I cannot pinpoint particularly a film that has been more challenging than others. But talking about stress, some movies are more stressful than others. There are stories where you relax and take your lines, but there are some you go to the field and into the bush like Price of Sacrifices, which left me all soured but when the film came out it was worth the trouble, no pain no gain".
Playing real
You might not guess accurately why Ohameze seems to emerge the best and most natural in his roles until you listen to him say "I always come out with the best because I imagine my self to be the real person in that character. "I don't follow what is in the script most times. What I do is to go through the story and imagine if I found myself in that situation, what I would do. By putting myself as the real person in that character I get natural in movies and it has really helped me to interpret my roles".
I can act nude
Talking about romance in films, Ohameze said he could go any length just to do his job, " once the script says so. I have no limits, it's my career after all, I will act nude if the need be, it does not actually matter, especially with a wife who understands my career. I am fortunate to be married to a very exposed and educated woman. She has been abroad for almost 18 years, and knows what my kind of job entails. She knows my career is a make-believe, and so my wife understands, knowing full well that everything ends where it starts".
Happiest moment
Ohameze who is married and has a child, recalled that his happiest moment was when his wife was delivered of his daughter. "She was on her way to London to have our baby when her water broke in the air. That was ten minutes to her arrival in London, so she was rushed from the plane to the hospital. When I got the call, I prayed that everything should be alright, and fortunately, at the second call was the great news that she had been delivered of my daughter".
No sexual harassment here
Those that allege sexual harassment in the movie industry are liars, so says Ohameze. He challenges them that " the best way to prove the allegation is for one of them to identify herself a victim. We have been waiting for the opportunity when a person will come out to tell us that she has been harassed and who harassed her. But all we hear everyday is that I can't go into the film industry because there is so much sexual harassment. Apart from these unsubstantiated claims, we all know nobody can force you to sleep with you, otherwise it will be rape and it is criminal. You can only sleep with a man you want to. All I know is that these things are rumours. I remember sometime in the past when a rumour hit the streets that Nkiru Syvanus was dead, Nkem Owoh, dead and Clem Ohameze, dead. That rumour started somewhere. So anybody that is sexually harassed should come out and say it, because I have not heard that any artiste or director was arrested for rape and subsequently prosecuted and jailed when found guilty"

Her beauty and sexiness coupled with her acting prowess are  outstanding qualities that have endeared her to many.  Nollywood star actress Ini Edo  is unarguably, the  hottest star in Nollywood today. Since her debut few years ago, Ini’ who has starred in over a hundred movies, made a big comeback   to  Nollywood after the one-year ban order slammed on her by the leadership of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), was lifted. The Eket,  Akwa-Ibom indigene here, opens up on her meteoric rise to stardom, the controversial “ban,” which lasted for four months, her relationship, life as an actress and more.

A lot of people have argued that your meteoric rise to stardom was sudden. Do you agree with them?
That is not true, I started years ago with auditions and minor roles, like six years. My first audition was for Child of Destiny, in Aba, Abia State. In fact, that was my first movie by Ndubuisi Okoh, from Zelex Productions. I did not plan where I am today and it is not because I am so good. For some reasons, I just have the favour of God and He made it happen. But, I don’t like to admit I came from nowhere, I have paid a few dues. I may not have had it as rough as others, but, in my own little way, I didn’t have it so smooth like that. I had a divine enlistment at the end of the day.

So, what were the major challenges you encountered on your way to the top?
When you come into an industry like Nollywood, it takes time for you to convince people to believe in you and also stake their money on you. Especially if you consider the fact that you are not known. I had to work harder in order to be given a chance to get to where I am today.

When did you get your first big break in Nollywood?
World’s Apart, from the stable of Great Movies Production, was a major break for me, even though I had done other movies before then. It actually brought me to the limelight. I was already a diploma student of Theatre Arts at University of Uyo when I traveled to Aba for my first movie. A course mate of mine invited us, so my coming into Nollywood was never by accident. But, unfortunately, I never wanted to be an actress, I dreamt of becoming a lawyer or a newscaster. I was an actress in my school days; I was at New Era Nursery School, Eket, my town in Akwa-Ibom State. I eventually graduated with a degree in English and Literary Studies from University of Calabar. I will be going for NYSC soon.

What happens to your acting career when you leave?
My career will still be there. Just for one year, definitely, I will try and cope.

How many  movies have you starred in since your arrival?
Let’s say, I have done over 100 and I do not have my best yet. But Only Love, by O.J Production truly and really touched my soul.

A lot of people, especially your fans, do not know why you were banned. What really happened?
sincerely speaking, I also really don’t know why I was banned. In fact, there were so many insinuations on the cause of the ban. And I could not really pinpoint any, but, whatever it was, I don’t want to go into the details.

It was alleged then that you were fond of abandoning sets?
Well, nobody has the proof for that kind of heavy allegations. Besides, it has never happened with me. I don’t think I have ever left anybody’s set for any other job. The only time I left a set, I was very ill and I also made it clear, besides I left in the middle of the night, in fact, it was almost daybreak when I left, around 3a.m.
    
While the ban lasted, what were you doing and how did you cope?
It was really a break taking period for me, after all the years of hard work. The basic thing was that I rested a lot and also took out time to do my own personal things. Like visiting motherless babies homes and other things that I had wanted to do but didn’t have the time to do them because of my busy schedule as an actress. Soon, I will be starting my NGO; we are still working out the modalities. The break gave me the opportunity to do the research and gather all the necessary materials needed for the take-off. Aside visiting my parents and all the people I hadn’t seen in a long while, I also took out time to reflect on all that had happened to me in the past, both positive and negative.

People are of the view that you are very controversial and rude. How true is that?
I really do not know, better still, ask those who think I’m controversial. But deep down, I don’t think I am. Most times, some people can’t just seem to comprehend what you do and who you are. And I am not rude. Again, people confuse or misconstrue confidence with arrogance. I am somebody who does not like to be intimidated.

And now that you are fully back, what should your fans expect from you?
Even though I have several scripts waiting for me, I still want to take my time before hitting locations. I’m aware I have missed work but I won’t jump on any location. I want to take my time and come out differently. I also want to take a look at those things that were so “bad” that they said I did and see how I will make them better. So, currently. I’m still going through all the scripts before me to choose the best among them. I don’t want to be on every movie anymore. I want to strive and see how I can be very selective in all the scripts coming my way now.

What major lessons would you say you learnt from your ban?
The major lesson for me is that you should not take or judge people from what they look like. I trust very easily and that was one of my major problems. I also figured that, most times, some friends get closer in order to bring you down or get you out of your position. Another thing I learnt from the ban is the kind of responsibility God has put on me as a celebrity. I may not have reache the position or height God has taken me to. It is, generally, an eye opener from God to me.

Who are the showbiz personalities that have the greatest influence on your career?
Liz Benson used to really make me feel like I want to act. Edith Jane-Azu and a couple of others also influenced me. On the foreign scene, I like Julia Roberts and Chalize Theron.

What would you say stands you out and probably gives you an edge over your contemporaries?
I don’t know but I always strive to be myself at all times. I like myself the way I am.

So, how are you coping with stardom?
I still try to be myself.

And how do you keep away male admirers?
I just try to be polite in telling them I’m not available because I’m hooked. The stubborn ones get stubbornness from me as well.

Sometime ago, there were stories about your romance with D’banj?
He is a good friend, we never dated and that’s the truth.

Who is your ideal man?
My dream or ideal man is that man that is going to be good for me in all ramifications. He has to be God-fearing. I can’t compromise that. He has to be neat and decent too.

Are you still searching?
No! I’m not searching. I have found a soul mate and when the time comes, everything will  fall into place.

What are your hobbies?
I like to swim, watch movies a lot, especially foreign. I try to watch Nollywood sometimes.

What weighs you down?
Anything very bad breaks me down and also weighs me down. I’m quite emotional and do not like hearing sad news. Disappointment is another thing that weighs me down.

What is the next level for Ini Edo?
Well, I hope to do a lot more for myself by developing more as a total artiste. I also hope to launch my NGO and start a family.

These actress are not only beautiful, they have what it takes to be the best in their chosen profession. Most of them would have made good wives but not all of them are so lucky to keep their homes. Any time they get into relationships with the hope of consummating the affairs, disappointment usually keep them still searching for "Mr Right." Although some of them have love children as a result of such unions, they prefer to keep these children out of public knowledge for their own interest. Kunle Rasheed reveals some actresses who have child or children outside wedlock.

Shan George:

This light-skin actress came out hot when she started out in the movie industry. Before her entry into the industry, Shan George was living in her home town. There, she had a forced marriage at a much younger age of 17. The marriage did not last. That marriage produced two grown up boys who are now schooling abroad. After that she tried to go into two other relationships, which did not last

.Ann Njamanze:

Before the fatal accident that almost claimed her life, Ann was a prominent actress in the movie industry. She lost her visible presence due to the accident, which restricted her to the sick bed for a long time.

Then her celebrated relationship with fellow actor Segun Arinze was cemented with the birth of her daughter Morenike. The union didn’t however survive the test of time. Today Ann Njaminze has moved on with her life. It was even heard that she had another baby not too long ago for the new man in her life

Ibinabo Fiberesima:

The beautiful actress has her own share of failed relationship. Her affairs with Phillip Trimnell and top singer Daniel Wilson were widely celebrated.

Not too long ago she got into trouble when her car rammed into a doctor’s car, killing him in the process. Today, it was reported that Ibinabo and fellow actor Fred Amata are planning to hook each other in wedlock.

But time will tell if Ibinabo, who already has two children from two different fathers, would be lucky this time.

Alex Lopex:

Unlike most actresses who find it hard to openly identify with their children, Alex Lopex’s case is different. At any given time, she’s ready to tell anyone that she has a son, Joshua, whom she had for her lover. Although, the relationship did not last, however, Lopex is ever grateful for the joy of motherhood that the relationship afforded her.

Fathia Balogun:

Just like Fathia Balogun’s relationship with her first husband, Tunde Anchor, the marriage between the Edo State born actress and fellow actor Saheed Balogun is said to be over. Before meeting Saheed Balogun, Fathia has a son in London for her former husband Tunde. The son lives with the father in London.

Genevieve Nnaji:

Before the sanction imposed on some foremost artistes including Genevieve, she was one of the most sought-after actresses in the country. Genevieve, a gifted model and beautiful actress attained an enviable height in the industry.

At the age of 16, she was put into the family way by one of her boyfriends who lived around her former Egbeda residence in Lagos. That pregnancy resulted in the birth of her baby girl who is about nine years old now.

Regina Askia:

These days, Regina has faded out of reckoning in the movie world. She was every producer’s delight. Producers and marketers can’t afford not to feature her pictures in their jackets and posters. And the reason was because she is an ex-beauty queen. Regina’s relationship with a French businessman produced her daughter, Stephanie, who is now into modelling in the United States.

After the relationship with the Frenchman collapsed, Regina went into another marriage with an American identified simply as Ruby, which produced children. But just like the Frenchman’s, the relationship has packed up.

Elfreda Rowland:

Elfreda Rowland is a very daring actress, who could act naughty roles in movies. A happy-go-lucky lady who likes to catch her fun, that’s why if she’s not on location, she’s rocking around town. Elfreda has a girl from a relationship she had in the past; the father of the girl lives abroad.

Ronke Ojo (Oshodi Oke):

Ronke, a busty actress, who got the nickname Oshodi Oke from the title of a movie she starred in as a lead actress, is one of the hottest Yoruba actresses in the movie industry. About three years ago, she got pregnant and no body seems to know who was responsible for it. The pregnancy was linked to many people including a marketer and a London based socialite Wale. But Ronke came out to tell the world that the father of her daughter lives in Canada and that put paid to the controversy.

Mariam Apollo:

Pretty Apollo was widely believed would become the better-half of fine boy actor Ramsey Nouah because both of them were very close then. But Ramsey left her for his wife when the marriage issue came up. Before her celebrated relationship with Ramsey Nouah, Mariam Apollo had a baby for her former lover.

Iyabo Ojo:

Pretty Iyabo Ojo, one of the top Yoruba actresses in the country, also has two kids, a boy and a girl from a marriage she went into when she could hardly differentiate her right from her left. Today, she has been linked to another Yoruba actor Muka Ray and also to Kunle Afolayan.

Clarion Chukwurah:

Clarion Chukwurah is one of the veterans in the movie industry. This University of Ife Theatre Arts graduate started acting in the early 80s. While on the set of the movie Owolagba in the 80s, Clarion had a fling with juju star Sir Shina Peters (SSP) that resulted in a baby. Today, the god of love has not been fair to the beautiful lady, just like her marriage to Mike, Abiola’s brother, she recently lost another marriage she had with a London big boy Femi Egyptian

Bimbo Oshin:

It all started like a rumour that Yoruba actress Bimbo Oshin was involved in a love relationship with the boss of Dudu Heritage, Ola Ibinronke. It eventually came out to be the truth when she got pregnant for the American-based promoter. The relationship went through turbulence because of the wife of the American promoter. The relationship produced a boy named Michael.

Bose Joseph

:This crossover actress had a baby out of wedlock. The baby girl, Opemipo, is now a toast of many movie producers both in English and Yoruba. Opemipo’s father rejected her pregnancy and took off for the UK. Now that this child has become a star, he now wants to claim her paternity. Just like the first pregnancy, Bose had another man who refused to take responsibility for her second pregnancy. And now she has two kids for different fathers out of wedlock.

Obot Etuk:

Obot Etuk is one of the most respected in interpreting movie roles but this is not the same with her life style. She was celebrated for her love affairs with younger colleague Ernest Azuzu. Despite the age difference, several times, the actor would beat her to the surprise of most people. Today, Obot has three kids out of wedlock

Babara Udoh:

Babara Udoh came into prominence through her role in the famous movie The Glamour girls. Although before that time she was a regular face in most soap then. Babara has not been too frequent in movie production these days and people have been wondering what the problem might be. Babara Udoh is one of the actresses that have babies out of wedlock.

Sandra Achum:
Sandra Achum today has two children from two fathers. The first came and the father was unknown so also is the case with her second child. The reason for keeping her relationship from the pages of paper may be due to the loss of her proposed marriage years back, which most soft sell magazines feasted on.

Edith Jane Azu:

Today, she has given her life to Christ but only that she is happily married, but as long as she lives she will never forget how she became a baby mother at the age of 16.

Toyin Raji:

Toyin Raji is an ex-beauty queen that also got into the movie world. But before she could exhibit her God-given talent for a long time in the movie world, she left when she became pregnant. She solely nurtured the baby on her own.

Ndidi Obi:

she is better known as Nneka the pretty serpent because of her role in that movie. Ndidi left the movie industry when she was put in the family way by a business man. And ever since, little or nothing has been heard about the lady who once held her fans spell bound with the way she interpreted roles.
