I stumbled on this picture on facebook and decided to ask fellow nairalanders, pls describe this in just a word or sentence.

People have been passing it round on BB all day. Fortunately this one clearly shows the face of the rapist...

The girl in the video was just screaming while being raped 'aye mi ti baje (my life is ruined), while the rapist and his two accomplices filmed and laughed at her.
Here are some screen shots from the rape video, hopefully someone who knows him will identify him and get him arrested. Animals like this should be punished.

Exactly......

kramer: Hmm... I guess its just me then

aadetoyin: A zillion times.

Did also use remote control as ur microphone and pretend like u re performing on stage.
Childhood was FUN

Yesso, nd I felt like a celebrity doing dat *blushing*

Childhood was really fun......

chaircover: The truth is that anyone can do anything, but it is restraint, our religious views and our morals, the price of being caught etc that stops us from doing them.

Its not the predatory instinct that makes a man, but being able to show restraint in the face of temptation.

They are both wrong . . .lets just not focus on and blame only the woman.

So on point jawe

[quote author=Okiki_Oluwa]Too much sh*ts in Nollywood. Phuck a producer, pay him 4 sex! That's ridiculous.[/quote]I'm telling you

By Ayo Onikoyi
Colette Orji came into the industry a few years ago but
already she has a profile that would bedazzle any
producer. Beautiful, talented and sexy but most people
who have met Colette keep talking about her magnetic
backside which tends to sing a song many could not
help but follow. She has several claims to stardom and
they include “Strength of a Woman”, “Blue Blood”,
“Raindrop”, “Two Can Play That Game”, “Amaka
Mustapha” and a host of others. In this interview with
Showtime, the Enugu and Abuja based Thespian talked
about growing up in Cameroon, her career and opened
a can of worms on the happenings in the movie
industry. Enjoy:
Who’s Colette Orji and where is she coming from?
I am Colette Nkem Orji. Precisely from Orumba North
Local Government in AnambraState. I was born in
Cameroon, based in Cameroon, studied in Cameroon.
Colette is a focused kind of person, very intelligent and
very respectful.
What do you remember most about your childhood in
Cameroon?
It wasn’t even childhood, I was in Cameroon till I was
20 years old. I think I had it all in Cameroon.
What was it like growing up there and your childhood
fantasies?
Well, growing up, I was always thinking I was going to
become a pilot. We are six in my family: five boys and I
am the last and the only girl. So my childhood revolved
around them and I always thought I was one of them.
Whatever they did I did. When they wore blue jeans I
wore my own too. When they rolled up their trousers I
rolled up my own too. I think I was a boy for so long in
my life. It’s not more than eight years ago I became a
girl.
My parents relocated
back to Nigeria. At the
time I was doing my
final year in school. My
dad was in Cameroon
for close to 30 years but
sometimes we came
down to Nigeria once or
twice a year. When we
moved down, my
brothers moved to the
United Kingdom. So, I
was the only one down
here. I came for holiday
in Nigeria in 2002 and I
moved down
permanently in 2003
and got direct admission
into UNN.
Being in Nigeria, what
are you missing about
living in Cameroon?
I missed a lot. I missed
that place I really knew
with all the people I
knew around me. That
early childhood thing
that comes with you. And at the same time, I might say I
am not missing much because all my friends back then
have all left the city we were.
Most of them have also moved on. 80% of my friends
are now in Europe. 5% is even here in Nigeria and
other percentage are spread across other cities of the
world. So, even if I go back to Cameroon it can never be
the same again.
How did you find your way into acting?
Let me say I was a star of a sort in Cameroon because I
was always on top of everything I did back then. As a
child, from Primary school, I represented the school in
handball. When there was a quiz, I was the one to
present the school as well. In swimming and virtually
everything, it was Colette Orji that led the way. When I
moved to Secondary school the same trend continued.
In church I did a drama series where I played the role of
a Reverend Sister, that was like one of the biggest
church activities for a very long time and everyone took
to calling me ‘Colette, the Reverend Sister because I
interpreted the role so well.
There in Cameroon we would pick up Nigerian films,
the few ones we could get, and gathered in our
numbers to watch the films and with so much
excitements. We knew all the Nigerian actors by either
their names or their stage names. Like Pete Edochie, we
knew him as Don Pedro. So, you could imagine the
whole of Cameroon calling him ‘Don Pedro’. So it
became a burning desire in me that when I get to
Nigeria I must act.
Fortunately, when I got to Nigeria I went to Enugu in my
aunt’s place and there she was, having dinner with an
actress, Aunty Stella Oku Egbu. When I saw her I was
so overjoyed and could not contained myself. I shouted
and screamed even my aunt was taken aback with my
show of emotion. Before she left I made her promise to
take me where they were having an audition.
Fortunately too, it just happened they were having one
the next day and she invited me to come along.
Before 6am I was in her house and she said “Colette, it
is by 8am” and I said she should not worry that I would
wait.
She took me to the audition ground and had me
registered. That same day, I was given a character to
play. They just gave me a role to read and when you
give someone like Colette Orji a chance like that I take
over. I simply took over the stage. By the time I was
done reading my script everyone was clapping and they
gave me the role just like that. The next day I was on set
filming.
Though it was a bit role of four scenes in “Two Aside”
but that gave me the confidence I needed. The movie
was directed by Afam Okereke and produced by Great
Movies. I guess I was so impressive they gave me a
script for another role immediately.
When was your first major role?
My first major role took time. My first film was in 2004
and I didn’t get my major role until 2008 but that was
partly due to my going back to school full time. So,
when I came back to the industry in 2008 immediately I
got my first major role. In fact I got 3 scripts because the
films I had done spoke for me. My first major role was in
“Hidden Treasures” and since then I think I have done
16 or more major roles.
So, how would you compare taking up the small roles to
taking up the major roles?
You are so sure you are ready but despite all the
trainings and the groomings you still find out you are
not ready for the big ones. Fortunately for me, there was
a film I did, an OJ Production “Bad Blood” directed by
Tchidi Tchikere. In that movie two characters were
involved. Ini Edo, who was playing the lead role was
supposed to be a twin: Juliet and Colette. So, they said
they needed someone to play backstage, so when she
was playing Juliet the other person would be playing
Colette. Because the character’s name was my name
they called me from school to come and pick up the role.
That was the biggest training I ever had in Nollywood
because I was playing a major character, I was doing
everything but I was behind the camera but I had to act
like I was actually the person in the movie. That movie
brought Ini and I together. It was a great movie and it
opened doors for me.
Since 2008 till now, would you say acting has been
good to you?
Oh, it has been so wonderful and sweet. It’s something
you are actually enjoying. It’s something that brings
fame and creates some pathways for you. Like now, I
own a fashion shop and I am about to launch my own
magazine and NGO.
Since I am not a type of person who works and have to
settle anyone back home in my family, all I have to do is
reach out to the society to help the needy. I have got
cars from acting, so, I can say it has been good.
So, at what point did
you realise you have
arrived as an actress?
I think it was that same
2008, that was when I
came out of school,
Enugu, IST, where I read
Chemical Engineering.
When I finished school,
movies have moved
from Enugu to Asaba. I
was never in Asaba and
it occurred to me that
now that I am out of
school if I have to go to
Asaba it means I have to
get a place in Asaba.
Fortunately, I called
Tchidi and he said there
was a character he needed me to fill up and I had to
travel to Asaba. He put me in a hotel but after I finished
that film the owner of the next film I got said he could
not put me in a hotel because they could not pay the
hotel bills.
Immediately, I called my mum and brothers and told
them I needed to rent a house in Asaba. They sent me
like N150,000 and right away I got a house.
Immediately I got the house, everybody was just giving
me one script to the next because they realised they
would not pay hotel bills for me. That’s the industry for
you. The industry takes advantage of you. Since I had
the house, the jobs were coming. I moved to Asaba in
September of 2008 and in 3 months I knew I was taking
over. Guys and girls coming to Asaba would call me on
phone and asked to stay in my house. Sometimes, we
got to about 18 in number in the house and nobody
minded where anybody slept. Then in the morning
everybody was going to shot one film or the other. My
house was like a hostel. It was fun.
There’s always this issue of sexual harassment in the
industry. Have you ever encountered such?
I think the answer to that is yes. If somebody tells you
they have never faced sexual harassment in the
industry, it is either they are lying or they don’t want to
open up to the press because you guys may blow it out
of proportion. You just can’t go through the industry
without being sexually harassed.
Nobody really comes to you to harass you but there are
things you would realise you are not getting because
you are not willing to play some balls. Like me, nobody
pushed me around but you know this thing would be
like this if you do like that. So, if you are like, I don’t
want to do like this, take it and go or you are like, lets
do it and see how it goes.
I’m telling you the truth. It is there. Right now as I am
speaking to you, I’m praying for those coming into the
industry. It’s five times worse than what it was. The
industry is in a chaotic situation. I cannot even discuss
some of the things going on now. It’s sinful, it’s sin at its
highest order.
Just how chaotic is it?
What is happening now is that marketers don’t even
pay them any more. What you have to do now is
probably go and screw some rich guys to get money to
come and pay the marketer to feature in their films.
During that time, you feed yourself, pay your own hotel
bills and even costume yourself.
Before I came to Nollywood I wasn’t aware of all these
things. I was very young, I didn’t know that kind of
thing could be happening. But now the girls coming in
know that shit happens and they are prepared for shit
before coming in. Already they have the mindset for it
and maybe that’s cool but for me I didn’t know.
So, have you dated anyone in the industry?
Yes, I have had a relationship within the industry
Can we know the person?
No. I can’t tell you the name of the person but he is not
an actor. He is a person who works behind the cameras.
So, what happened to the relationship?
Colette Orji
He is a really big producer and at a time I thought I
couldn’t stand the competition any more. Everybody
wanted him for different reasons. Sometimes we would
be together and his phone would beep and it was an
alert that so and so have paid money into his account
for a role in his upcoming movie. The girls were really
doing everything to get his attention. If he said he
needed a Blackberry phone like 5 would just appear in
no time.
It was too much for me. He would bring someone into a
film we were about to shot and I knew for a fact that
person paid him. It was too much and these people
knew you knew and they would be fighting and
attacking you at every chance they got. I had to let him
go because everybody wanted him and they were ready
to do anything to get him.
So, what would attract you to a man?
I love a man that respects a woman. When I say a man
that respects a woman I mean a man who isn’t too
proud and too big to say simple things like “sorry”,
“thank you” and “please”. It doesn’t really matter if he’s
old, young, Black or White, Igbo or Yoruba. It’s like
respect for women is gone these days, so if I can get a
man that respect a woman, that’s okay for me.
Which role would you say has been your most
challenging yet?
It was a movie by Mega Movie “War Against Tradition”
it was sequel to “End of the War”. The movie took
everything from me. The job started like 3 days before I
came into it and it was during the period Nigerians and
Ghanaians were having problems. I was in Abuja and
the movie was in Asaba. The crew decamped from the
job due to the problem. When they needed to continue
most of the people originally cast were not there.
First, it was suppose to be Ini Edo it became me. Then
from Van Vicker to Emeka Ike. Nonso Diobi and Olu
Jacobs. There were so much problems with the film.
Did you ever have a crush on anybody before joining
Nollywood?
I can’t call it a crush but I loved people like Empress
Njamah, Kate Henshaw, you know those were the films
we could get back in Cameroon. Then, I love Liz Benson,
Omotola, Sandra Achums. We were growing up and I
thought one day I would join these people.
What’s your idea of sex generally?
You know what the Bible and our parents taught us and
also what actually is happening out there. If you want to
listen to your parents or your Bible, you can wait till you
get married. As for me, I don’t want to wait (laughing).
Sex is something normal. If you know you are matured
and ready and you can handle it then go ahead.
There was a time you and some friends visited an
orphanage to donate some things. What was that all
about and was it a project?
No, it wasn’t. I was in Abuja, early in the year, and I
called up some friends and said we should do something
for the less privileged people. Some said we should visit
the sick in the hospital and some said we should visit a
home, so, I said why don’t we do it in an organised
manner. With some friends we organised tee-shirt and
visited the homes.
Just two weeks ago I auctioned all my clothes I haven’t
worn in 5 months and gave the proceeds all out on
charity. Some of the girls who work with in my fashion
house took it to a hospital and I didn’t even follow them
instead I went for shooting of a movie. That’s me, I am
always doing something for someone somewhere.
What do you think should improve about Nollywood?
I like what Uche Jombo and Stephanie Okereke are
doing now. I think more people should embrace it. They
are working on producing better films. Our President
once said the movie industry is one of our biggest
export and if this reflects the image of the country I
think more investment should be driven into it.
I also believe Nollywood should do more films that are
message-driven to improve the image of the country. It
should not all be about money, movie production should
be about quality, the message and the image of the
country.

As award-winning, singer Tuface Idibia, exits the singles club, the world is watching the lips of some other 'eligible' artistes, writes CHUX OHAI Singer Innocent Idibia, aka Tuface, will happily tie the nuptial knots with his heartthrob of many years, Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay in Dubai on Saturday (tomorrow). For the couple, who are both stars in their own rights, the much-vaunted wedding is the climax of a relationship that has somewhat managed to survive many storms and crises.

Before Tuface made the all-important decision to walk down the aisle with Annie, many music fans had literally concluded that he was not marriageable. With about five children from three women, most single ladies had stopped dreaming of grabbing him for keeps. For a while, the talented singer was the butt of many jokes rolling down the lips of every stand-up comedian in
the country. Some of them even referred to him by funny pseudonyms. They called him 'Father Abraham'. But all that now belongs to the past. As the hour draws near, Tuface and his bride will be counting their blessings and looking forward to a future filled with marital bliss. Unfortunately the same cannot yet be said about his colleagues who have yet to summon the courage to quit bachelorhood.

Interestingly some of these artistes are currently walking the same path that Tuface has just abandoned. It is no longer news that the likes of Timaya, Terry G, Ice Prince, Wizkid and MayD have been weaving in and out of relationships with women. They seem to have many things going for them: they are young, famous, rich and enjoy lots of goodwill from music fans across the country. The only snag is that they seem to be contented with making babies without getting married to their mothers. A few months after Timaya's romance with Empress Njamah packed up, the dreadlocked dancehall star found happiness again when his girlfriend, Barbara, was delivered of a baby girl. The new baby came as a huge relief to the singer who had been clearly worn out by the emotional stress that followed the breakup of his affair with Empress. He was so overjoyed that he sent a message to his fans on Twitter, announcing the birth of the child. But Timaya surprised many music fans who had expected him to marry the mother of his daughter. In an interview with E-Punch last year, he made it clear that marriage was not in his agenda.

"I wanted to have a baby by Barbara because she is my kind of woman; the kind of woman I'd like to spend the rest of my life with and this was why I decided from the outset that I'd go the whole hog with her. But she knows that marriage is not something we will dabble into now. "Marriage comes with a lot of responsibilities which are beyond financial or material things. God has blessed me with everything a man needs to have a successful married life and you can bet that Emmanuella and Barbara will get the best of everything money can buy but, personally, I
don't feel ready for it," he had said.

Also in November, 2012, Terry G's fiancée, Mimi, put to bed a baby boy in London. It was a double blessing for the baby daddy who had just moved into his own house at the Iju-Ishaga area of Lagos. But, while Terry G had taken the first step towards solemnising his relationship with his lover, Chocolate City rapper Ice Prince and Wizkid appeared to be too busy trying to weave their way through a maze of starry-eyed female admirers. One starry-eyed girl named Bimbo Babatunde was eventually delivered of a baby boy in March, 2012 and Ice Prince (real name Panshak Zamani) is said to be the father of the child. Although he kept denying it, Wizkid was rumoured to have fathered a baby girl. Sources said the evidence that he might have joined the league of 'baby daddies' lay in a picture of himself and a cute baby girl that he hung in the living room of his new home in Lagos. But the artiste is reluctant to tell.

Apart from that, Wizkid was at one time said to be deeply involved with controversial actress, Tonto Dike. Now that Tuface is finally calling it quits with a stormy bachelorhood, the question is: will the others now waiting in the wings follow in his footsteps? Only time will tell.

jmoore: Dating is not mating so I will not demand nor indulge in sex until marriage.

really?? Hmmm....

[quote author=190-the-clown]Uhmmm like say 2hrs [/quote]U̶̲̥̅̊ badt gann oo

Some guys love big booty, round and big breasts......but I luv babes with curves( proportionally)

Ignatio: Can't stop laughing. That guy they woke up with knockouts got me rolling on the floor.

what wud U̶̲̥̅̊ do 2 d person if U̶̲̥̅̊ were d one woken up dat way?

Crown Prince: Between the man and the woman who pays the BRIDE price?

So because U̶̲̥̅̊ paid d bride price U̶̲̥̅̊ r allowed to cheat D woman in question doesn't av her feelings or emotions anymore Tell me, did U̶̲̥̅̊ buy her emotions as well?? Mtcheww

nobniger: Again, find our if the kids are even yours (DNA) and please, make good arrangements 4 them and then let her go. I wouldn't even trust her with d kids but more importantely,get her out of your site, seeing her everyday is like eating and sleeping in one of those Niger public toilets. Women like that, and you smell them everywhere in this forum, will never stop cheating once they start. You're lucky you found out this, what of others you don't know? What you're seeing is a life style, a culture. The kids will be more than ok. She's nothing but a bad luck around you.

He'll gladly do dat, but pls promise U̶̲̥̅̊'ll sponsor it.

Adaeze003: Nope!! The anger there is that men don't see cheating as wrong when they cheat! it is wrong!!! Be you male or female!!! The fact that he cheated is no excuse for her to cheat but she did it anyway so what now? I'm sure he felt like a king after cheating and now, he can't even see his wife as a human!

I'm not in support of cheating but I'm glad he got a taste of his own medicine! Guys get this: [size=15pt]it 4kn hurts[/size] to find out that your partner(male or female) cheated!

For the one that asked who pays the bride price. I ask, Why would you go through all that trouble to get married to a girl if you aint ready to be faithful? It makes no sense!
And uhm women aint nobody's property. Paying bride price is just tradition.

For the one that said men are polygamous by nature, do you mean that women are attracted to only one man? Men only take advantage of this 'superiority' thing given to them by this 'not-so-meaningful' african culture! If we all decide to be stwpid eh, this world would be down side up!

For the one that said he can't imagine a married woman with kids cheating, so you can imagine a married man with kids cheat and its completely ok by you abi? All these myopic peeps sef! You all forget that its a two way street. SMH

I say he should forgive her but I can't tell him what to do about his marriage, that's completely his decision! But to all these dudes typing trash here "do unto others what you want them to do unto you"... Nuff said jor (make I no too fex)

seconded

mejai: Hmmn! Excess anger! More damage than good. Pls u can dissipate ur anger by huggin a transformer! Why d beef? U cheated too. Abeg, next story.

Nt dat I'm supporting or justifying her act bt both of U̶̲̥̅̊ r guilty of dis, so y don't U̶̲̥̅̊ quit cheating(cos I knw U̶̲̥̅̊ r stil cheating since U̶̲̥̅̊ claimed U̶̲̥̅̊'ve nt touched her ever since, U̶̲̥̅̊ can't tell me U̶̲̥̅̊'ve bn practising celibacy now), sit her down nd talk abt d way(s) 2 make d marriage work nd get sweeter dan b4?
