permanent interests as we can tell from the rate of
conflicts among celebrities.

celebrated friendships in Nigeria’s entertainment
industry and why it crumbled.

4. Lola Alao And Bisi-Ibidapo Obe

These popular yoruba actresses have been on a war path since late 2012 when news broke out that Ibidapo-Obe was impregnated by former House of Representatives member-turned-Senator, Dino Melaye. Bisi Ibidapo-Obe stated in an exclusive interview that she was introduced to Melaye by Lola as she needed some help at the time.
But in a swift reaction, Lola Alao denied the claim saying; Bisi should leave me out of her pregnancy mess. How can an adult like her not know who impregnated her? Is Bisi a small girl, that I Lola, will now carry and give Hon Dino to date? It is sad that she has dragged him into this mess. Is she the first actor or actress that Dino will help? Why is she making a deal out of meeting Dino? Dino has been my friend for years and was even at my movie premiere several month back where he donated N10million. I wish to state categorically that I have never dated Dino, I am not dating him and can never date him because he’s like a brother from another mother.

1. Genevieve Nnaji and Kate Henshaw
Saying these two actresses rank among the best in their industry is stating the obvious. Apart from A-list, they are the most sought after and their wide range of endorsements tell their success story.But unknown to their fans , they do not see eye-to-eye as a no love lost situation exists between the duo. Though not much is known about the cause of the bad blood between them, sources whisper that it may not be far-fetched as a result of the comparison between the two as to who’s better in their chosen profession. When they meet at events, the two do not greet nor acknowledge each other; even when they sit on the same table; they act like the other doesn’t exist.
