Actress Caroline Johnson, who was down with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (Cancer of the blood), and received overwhelming support before, during and after her operation in India, has died.

The mother of three, who acted as Uju in popular Christian soap ‘Heaven’s Gate’, passed on at 5:30PM yesterday (Wednesday December 16), after suffering a relapse.

Her husband Tony told www.nigeriafilms.com early this morning that his wife was ‘very okay’ until last Saturday when she ’suddenly took ill’.

”It started again on Saturday. By Sunday she was unconscious. We had taken her to the hospital (St Mary’s hospital in Omole, Lagos) where she was transfused and revived”

”She was bleeding from her mouth and nose and under the skin” Mr Johnson told www.nigeriafilms.com.

Caroline was placed on artificial Oxygen.

By Tuesday she got really better, her husband says. ”They were planning to discharge her on Thursday (today), and i even told her i’ll get her a wheelchair so we can go to the Redemption Camp”.

”Unfortunately, she broke down again on Wednesday morning”.

”She was tired”, Tony says, telling www.nigeriafilms.com that her last statement was: ”I have finished the Book”.

Before leaving for India, Caroline Johnson went through endless chemotherapy and blood transfusions at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).

Her illness was diagnosed in October 2008 – she was at the time, five months pregnant with her third child (whom she gave birth to, prematurely, on December 17, 2008).

She is survived by her husband Tony (they were married for seven years), and their three kids: Omolayo, Imisioluwa and Oluwatise (who clocks 1 today)

The late Caroline attended Ifako International Secondary School in Lagos and studied Mass Communication at Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Ogun State.

This kind of relationship is one that requires extra caution if we must get it right. A good number of Nigerian men don’t value relationships. To our men, it’s all about how much you have in your pocket. But I don’t really blame you because my fellow ladies have made you believe there is no relationship without a fat bank account.

Men now believe a girl can be treated anyhow and be pacified later by a fat cheque, exotic ride, holiday to the Caribbean. Maybe it has been working for you simply because you have always met the greedy ones. But a time will come when you will fall head-over-heels in love with a girl only to have her walk out of your life. Then you will come to agree with me that there are dos and don’ts in every relationship.

So many relationships in Nigeria are in trouble because our dear men have refused to see women as partners. To them, she is just another piece of furniture and should be treated as one. Men still believe a woman should be seen and not heard. I still wonder when I see men beat their wives and girlfriends. This has led to the break up of so many relationships, as the lady would rather live outside the relationship than die in the relationship.

I so much agree in a man being the head of every relationship. I still believe in the African culture. But guys, I still see so many African men who treat their wives like partners and not slaves. Treating a woman well has nothing to do with wealth. Yes, a woman deserves some level of comfort but that shouldn’t take the place of companionship.

Be it for a date or marriage, every decent girl wants a man who will always respect and treat her like a lady. To help you succeed in your relationship with the woman of your dream, try these few tips:

APPRECIATE HER:
It takes just a little effort to win a woman’s heart. A woman wants to be appreciated always. No matter how much you spend on your woman, she will never be satisfied until you give her that which her heart longs for. Look at her every morning before you step out of the house and tell her how beautiful she is. Even if you think she is not, I know there is one particular attribute she has that won your heart.

Yours may be a long distance relationship, thank God for GSM. She wants to hear your voice last thing at night, she wants you to talk her to sleep and wake her up the next morning to sweet words. This is the easiest way to win a woman’s heart and have her go the extra mile for you. Don’t let familiarity quench the fire and don’t be deceived into believing she doesn’t care.

SPEND TIME WITH HER:
Give her time. I understand things are getting tougher. Men go through a lot of pressure to make ends meet. Traffic situation in Lagos is getting worse by the day but guys, all these are not good enough reason for your failure to spend time with the woman you love. She needs your time not just the goodies.

GIVE:
Be generous with the woman you claim to love. Most guys believe in just words. Guys, love gives. For you to be a good lover, you must be able to give according to your capability. Make that woman the envy of her friends. I am not saying you should go beyond your capability just to make her happy. She is your woman and knows your worth. Love gives.

REMEMBER:
Don’t forget her birthday, marriage anniversary and other important dates. Close early from work on that day and take her to a place she has never been before. Make it a memorable one, after all, she remembers yours. You can get friends for a surprising party for her.

Boy, stop coming up with the excuse of leaving town on an official assignment during Valentine season. Some guys make sure the official assignment starts a week before Valentine simply because they want to cheat on their wives and girlfriends. If you don’t like her look, get her to change it. This has led a lot of women into unfaithfulness.

RESPECT HER:
Make her feel on top among friends. We know you are the man but please don’t put it on her face. Don’t shout at her in public, that hurts a woman deeply. Guys, it is wrong discussing your woman with friends and relations. If you must, sing her praise. It is wrong gathering in that beer parlour to talk about her.

CORRECT HER IN LOVE:
Women are weaker vessels, so says the Holy Bible. Learn to treat her as one. She is bound to make grievous mistakes, pardon her and put her on the right track. She may be the nagging type, love her. According to the Holy Bible, Christ loved us unconditionally and Apostle Paul in Ephesians 6 tells men to love their wives so.

ACCEPT HER:
I have seen a lot of men dating a girl without wanting to have anything to do with her job, friends and family. Guys, you must make that girl you claim to love dearly feel accepted. You must be ready to discuss her job, accept her friends and if there are ones you don’t like, gradually make her see reason. But her family, you must accept. Why would any responsible man or woman stop the partner’s family from visiting?

Don’t try to make her change her job against her wish. I have seen men try to force a lady out of her job due to selfish reasons. Ninety-nine percent of the motive behind it is complex and insecurity. You may try to make her feel the job is too stressful for her but boy, we know why you did that. Inasmuch as you have to protect your own (girlfriend or wife), you don’t have to let your emotions rule all the time.

TRUST HER:
So many men have lost the woman they cherish so much simply because they chose to believe their friends rather than her. When you love a woman, you are bound to be jealous but please, keep it under control. Don’t allow the discussions or experiences of your friends ruin your relationship. Trust your woman, believe her. Some girls have had to walk out of relationships just because their man refused to believe them.

AVOID BATTERING:
Never raise your hands against her. Cowards beat women. If you want to show us how strong you are, please find men like you in the stadium. Some men even go to the point of hitting their girlfriends and wives in public. That is just a proof of your level of irresponsibility. No matter how much a woman provokes you, never raise a hand on her. Yes, I agree with you, women can get you to the point where you lose control of yourself. But there are men like you handling it the right way. There are better ways to make a woman sober.

INVOLVE HER:
Involve her in your decision making. Don’t rule out her ideas as irrelevant. Women are most times more intelligent than men and if you are blessed to have an intelligent woman around you, please use her. Let the woman in your life know you and what you are worth. Refuse to believe people when they say she will kill you and take your properties.

Most Nigerian widows suffer at the death of their husbands simply because the man trusted his brothers and parents more than his wife and children. Oga, why would you leave your wife and children to make your brother the administrator of your will? No matter how much you trust him, your children and wife will suffer should anything happen.

FLAUNT HER:
Guys, don’t make your girl feel you are not proud of her. Introduce her to friends and relations, don’t walk far behind her in public. Volunteer to drive her to the spa or supermarket. If you are proud of your woman, let us know you are.

GIVE HER A BREAK:
Allow her to travel or sometimes have a time-out with friends far away from you. Don’t make her lose her individuality because she is with you. Don’t try to force her to become what she is not. A lot of women turn to zombies when they have their man around but when you see them with friends, you see the lively part of them. Let that girl go, if she is yours she will remain yours. Love isn’t about bondage. Don’t let low self-esteem ruin your relationship.

If Nigerian men can decide to start treating women as individuals and adults, things will get better in the society. This issue of freedom is a very important one. I have seen that the women that find it difficult surviving as widows are those who were never allowed by their husbands to be themselves.
WORD!!

That's absurd . .

Eeya!. .But its not food that u have to eat 3x daily. NO?

Ujujoan:
Ms Diva you are right to an extent, some ladies can be really silly and sentimental when it comes to handling infidelity from their Spouse. Some prefer to pour out the anger and frustration on the girl instead of their man. As for me, I dont know no girl, amma fry him dry if I catch him!    

I'd for once agree wit u here.

Venting your anger on the poor girl is akin to 'knocking the head while the a.n.u.s polluted'.


@Topic

I think low Self esteem play a big role on the part of such women.

Thats absolutely fine (Its your choice) and No wahala, IMO.

For the record, I'm Efik and engaged to someone from Akwa Ibom.

Sums up now! and which tradition are u talking about as though u pple had one there?

agathamari:
WRONG! there is no scientific evidence for your claim, there is scientific evidence actully to the contrary.  durring or/gasm in BOTH men and women release oxytocin (yes same chemical relased to help mother child bonding).  when it is released during or/gasm, it begins creating an emotional bond -- the more sex, the greater the bond.  BOTH also relase vasopressin, an antidiuretic hormone.  it is another chemical that has been associated with the formation of long-term, monogamous relationships.  not to mention the endorphins relased.   the more contact with a specific partner the higher levels of these chemicals are release.

DAMN! Wat an Scientific analogy.

Screen diva Mercy Johnson has finally quit being a spinster. And this is authoritative. This is because the black, hot and sexy actress has tied the knots with her Edo-born Prince charming, Odiabosen Okojie. www.nigeriafilms.com can authoritative inform that the formal introduction between the busty actress and her heartthrob who is from Uromi in Edo State, took place two weekends back at Mercy’s family residence, Okokomaiko.

The introduction was strictly between the two immediate families, where they also fixed a date for the proper wedding which is kept secret until the invitation cards are released into the market. She is a toast of many movie producers, and her exotic roles in movies have earned her loads of Awards, such as AMAA best Actress in supporting role. Mercy’s fame came with bad press, as those who saw her a threat had to engineer negative stories to dent her fast rising image but she developed a thick skin to all that.

Sources revealed that both love birds dated for a year before tieing the knot. How Mercy managed to keep the affair a secret has puzzled many but it is also lend credence to her strong character in the face of very many negative reports about her. www.nigeriafilms.com gathered that immediately some of Mercy’s colleagues who strongly believe she is a threat to them and has taken their space in the industry got to know of her romance with Prince Odinaosen, they started speculating the unthinkable, just to get the guy distracted. But because of the love and trust he has for her, their love waxed stronger, he even went as far buying her a brand new jeep to prove the depth of his love to the sultry actress. No doubt, this Kogi born actress has so much to thank God for this year aside bagging so many awards home and abroad, she also launched her foundation called Mercy foundation.

"No, I am not yet married, I am just engaged" That was actress Mercy Johnson's reaction when Encomuim Mag called her last week to confirm the story making the rounds that she secretly got married weeks back. "We are not going to rush into marriage because it is a serious institution. We are taking our time, bonding."

The actress admitted that there was indeed an engagement ceremony involving her family and her fiance's here in Lagos but she said there was no wedding date agreed.

"I love everything about him" she gushed "You can't push him. He does not bend. I have always wanted a man that can control me. My fiance is quiet. He is nice, good looking and above all, a staunch Christian. There are the qualities I have always wanted in my man. And now I have found them in this man. It is God, I never knew that a man will still believe in me after all the bad press."

Aondoakaa also said that the probe into the $180m Halliburton scandal was stalled because witnesses gave evidence in French and [size=15pt]it had been difficult translating the information to English in Nigeria.

Sella Damasus was absent at her deceased husband, Jaiye Aboderin’s fourth burial remembrance party that took place on the 5th of December at The Oriental Hotel, Lekki Lagos. She claimed to be at her mother's side, who's recovering from eye surgery. The Aboderin family reacted saying ‘they didn’t as a family feel bad about her not being there. The reason being that she no longer bears their name. She has swapped Aboderin with Nzeribe‘. Stella was said to have been invited and she even requested for extra invitations.

Late 2008, she was sighted at Club 868 with Emeka Nzeribe where they tried as much they could to prevent being photographed together by paparazzis and in March 2009, they got married – Emeka Nzeribe became her second husband. Reports reaching nigeriafilms.com claim the marriage is not going easy, as sources say incompatibility between them is due to Emeka's is frequent trips to Abuja. Stella , the mother of two from her previous marriage, reportedly insisted that Emeka’s frequent trips to Abuja have been for business. She denied rumors of sending Emeka out of their matrimonial home. The reports have also been fueled by the absence of her wedding band [ring] . Sources close to them maintain and divulge that Emeka got fed up because she became stubborn, insisting on having her way and she wouldn’t submit to Emeka.
