•What they were and where they are

Long before them, we had Funmilayo Ranco, Ogunde’s wives and the likes, but the emergence of the Nigerian movie industry otherwise known as Nollywood ushered in this new set of actresses who ruled the screen, sold millions of movies with their acts and got us all glued to the TV screen.

They were the stars long before the Omotolas and Genevieves of Nigeria. Some of them have continued to feature in movies since with present days stars and some simply stepped aside. Others took to other interests. Here is Sunday Sun’s 10 Nollywood actresses of yester years.

Barbara Soky
In her days, Barbara was like Omotola and Genevieve rolled into one. She was young, hot, savvy, and had an aura which made her the toast of viewers. She dined with the rich and famous and was always in gossip columns. She started acting in the ‘80s after getting a role in Inside Out and went on to team up with Lola Fani- Kayode in Mirror in the Sun and then much later Zeb Ejiro’s Ripples. Her acting was not the only thing making headlines. Her relationship with Danladi Bako, her daughter Maxine were also subjects of news. She took a break when fame became a burden for several years and sought the limelight again in early 2000 with Amaka Igwe’s Solitaire but by then, her magnetic aura had vanished and the new generation knew no Barbie, the new stars were the in-thing.

Liz Benson
She could best be described as the altar ego of Regina Askia and until they both bowed out of the ambience of stardom , their rivalry was on the front burner of news. Liz Benson made us look forward to movies and her face sold millions of movies. The 44 years old Liz started acting in 1993 featuring in Fortunes and remained the postal girl for many years before stepping aside to answer God’s calling into the vineyard. Yeah, you read it right, Liz Benson is now a pastor based in Port Harcourt. She remarried last year after being a widow for several years. For years to come, those old enough will still continue to talk about her role in Glamour Girls, True Confession and Izaga.

Regina Askia
Regina had many things working for her and the world was practically at her feet. She was beautiful, suave, and brainy. With a degree from University of Lagos (UNILAG) and her crown as Miss UNILAG, Askia had her path charted for her before graduation. She was meant for the showbiz world and that was where she headed. After emerging Miss Nigeria in 1989 (following the resignation of Bianca Onoh, the then queen) Askia followed-up with a role in Mega Fortunes and was the lead act in several movies. She left the world of showbiz and went to America in the early 2000s and settled with her husband, Radolph Rudy Williams and had since given birth to two children. She is currently a practicing nurse in America.

Sandra Achums
Call her the movie bad girl and you won’t be wrong. Sandra had her cup of fun filled to the brim and never give a hoot about what you thought. She was the leader of Team B after the likes of Liz Benson and Regina Askia. Once married, Sandra made the soft sell thrive in her days because many wanted to know what was happening in the life of their star who was set to take over from Liz and Regina. It never happened because Sandra relocated to Germany where she now resides and is raising a family with her husband.

Victoria Inyama
Not particularly the best when it comes to acting, Victoria Inyama made up for it with hard work and off the stage gossips for celebrity writers. She was the alternative for Sandra Achums and sometimes held her own like in Rejected Son. She never made the A-list but she made a lasting impression. She left Nigeria in early 2000 for UK where she now resides with her husband.

Hilda Dokubo
Hilda did not travel out . She isn’t ill , but she just seems tired of Nollywood. She was one of the front runners in the early days of Nollywood, with stellar performance in Evil Passion, Total Desire, and Goodbye Tomorrow and others. Hilda warmed her way into the hearts of many and she has made an enduring impression. She left the scene to take up activism and an unspecified contract job with Rivers State government. Hilda was one of those that made the industry tick but she now prefers life outside the limelight where there is more peace and perhaps more money.

Omoladun Kenkelewu
She was Baba Suwe’s wife and made many laugh with her sharp humour. In her days, no movie was complete without Omoladun’s face adoring the jacket. Her best came to the fore when she acted alongside her husband. She died last year from a complication arising from high blood pressure.

Ameze Imariagbe
Many still believe that Ameze should not have left the scene when she did because that was when her star was just blossoming. She left in the ‘90s when her career was just taking off. She later granted an interview saying she had other priorities in her life. Now residing in Europe, pretty Ameze was known then as the teary Ameze because she cried so easily in movies.

Ego Boyo
From Checkmate, Violated to Keeping Fate, Ego Boyo rocked our world. She was the fine girl with sexy eyes that made most husbands receive knocks from their wives whenever she is on TV. Her performance was so timeless that we thought she would be on forever but Ego had other thoughts. She wanted a world where she would be the one to call the shots. She is doing that right now with Temple Production , the production company that has been doing great producing movies, documentaries and commercials for corporate bodies.

Funmi Martins
Funmi Martins was the rave of the Yoruba genre of the movie industry. Without her , your movies might flop in the market. With her, you are sure of a sell-out as Funmi acted so well that she became a standard for good acting. She died in the late 90s but her daughter Made had since taken over from where she stopped.

Adeyemi Ademola, a fake policeman who dressed in Nigeria Police uniform with full inspector’s rank, was once a Supernumerary police corporal attached to the Ikeja Local Government. He spoke to OLUWOLE ADEBOYE after his arrest.

Q: You were once a Supernumerary Police Corporal. How long were you at this job?
A: I was at the job for 10 years. Later, I was sacked and told to go away.

Q: What was your offence?
A: It’s personal, not for your own consumption.

Q: How long have you been parading yourself as a police inspector ?
A: Just three years ago.

Q: Why?
A: Because I want to make money, of course.

Q: What do you mean?
A: What most people do not know is that as a policeman, it is easier to make quick money.

Q: Can you tell us how to make money?
A: There are many different ways one can implicate innocent souls. As for me, I put on the uniform to smuggle goods through the border in Ogun State and I also use the uniform to defraud people. It does not pay when you tell the truth.

Q: But do you believe that if you tell the truth always, one day fortune will smile on you and you will become great?
A: I can’t wait for that day.

Who knows how many more Fake cops we have in Naija that use their uniform and supposed authority to oppress the innocent.

There's something i've just understood from your write-up. Instead of dwelling within the context of the act, you are busy castigating men. Castigation proceeds! _ stolen waters are the sweetest. Did the boyfriend force the sister into the act? Oh! No. She widely opened her thighs. Now to the issue of choice, dignity and respect; i want to point it out that 55% of men do possesss whereas only 2% of women have these. Taking your mind back to the biblical days, if the serpent could subdue Eve then why won't men subdue daughters of Eve. Almost all sinful act pertaining to sex is orchestrated by women; you invite and i come. You invite in divers ways _ postures, dress code, etc. No matter the danggling you know what i mean. My utmost happiness is that all agreement weren't signed on bed else women would have . . . .
Ssssh!!! You misconstrued ma post.

Carolece:
Thats not the only reason why I hate men. My dad! He was one of the worse men I've ever encountered. He was a w'hore, had so many kids outside the family, and he used to deprive us of basic necessities which he could afford. He beat us (kids and my mom). He was so disrespectful. I may sound cruel, but when he died, it was of great joy to me, I was a happier person when he died, and so were my siblings. My mother took it hard as she loved him dearly, but eventually she got over him after like two yrs and began a happy life with her girls (myself and 4 siblings).

My uncle who lived close to us, he was the biggest w'hore in the community, we used to tell lies for him as many women used to show up at the same time. Then, I didnt look at it as anything as I was too young to understand, but as I got older, it made me understand that the same can/will happen to me.

All the men I know cheat, every single one have kids outside their relationships/marriages, or have women that they are dating outside of the one they have.

Men I work with, they too have a tendency to cheat, its all around me. I just cant see myself in a relationship and trust. There will have to be an intervention from the higher one.
Carolece:
I dont think I really want to hear it at all. I just hope some day I will just forgive her on my own. Dont know if they are still seeing each other as I distanced myself from them. The topic just does not come up. I only speak to my mother via telephone, havent seen her for 3 yrs now. I avoid seeing her as she is the one taking care of the lil boy. Dont know if the father is playing any part in his life, I have zero clue what's happening and I dont think its my business.
**Sighs** How much effect the enviroment has on us!!!
RomanceRe: When Is It Love? by MissyB1(m): 12:01am On Jun 27, 2010
IyaBasira:
***Sighs with relief***     

Thanks very much. I'm actually asking this question because there was someone I used to like and was going out with. I really looked up to him and respected him, so when the news got out that he liked someone else, things started going downhill. After a while he started trying, but I'm one of those people who doesnt forgive easily , so even though he started trying really hard eventually, I was still too much of a believer in Disney fairy tales (lol) to accept that he WAS willing to change and make an effort.

Normally I wouldnt even care, but I heard through the grapevine that he's just cheated on his present girlfriend. I feel a bit sad, because I think he's lost and needs help and I was once in that position to help him but I didnt.  And once this news gets out, its going to be a whole vicious cycle all over again.
I'D like to connect this post with Your original post, by saying, someone can Love You and still cheat on You, hurt You or leave You. It boils down to what I talked about in the first part of ma former post on this thread - Actions and Motive.
I just Love to understand why people do certain things. It's not always about what they do, but also about Why - For me.

I think cheating is a weakness/flaw. Inability to handle responsibility or be satisfied and stick with what You have, Plus, lack of courage to leave a particular person [if You think You aren't coping] before bringing another person in.


IyaBasira:
I think he's lost and needs help and I was once in that position to help him but I didnt.
If what You mean by ''help him'' is change him . . . .  Girlfriend, forget it.
No one can change anyone . . . .Change comes from within.

Talk about it. Hear her side of the story and probably, his too.
This will help You understand the whole issue, from genesis to the end.
If I were You, I'D love to know why she did it.

RomanceRe: When Is It Love? by MissyB1(m): 11:23pm On Jun 26, 2010
Trivially, I must say, I understand exactly what Your point is.
I've had personal reasons- which I cannot even begin to spew on a public forum- to ponder on this issue. My last decision was to, first, understand the difference between actions and motives. Since then, I've learnt to deal with the motive behind people's action and not the action itself. To be honest, it has helped me alot - anatha discussion.


IyaBasira:
There are often these conditions which are attached to true love, what it should do and what it should'nt do.  So when you hear ;

" If a guy/girl loves you, he will wait for you "
Or
"If a guy/girl  loves you, he will never cheat on you"
Or
"If a guy/ girl loves you, he will never do something to hurt you intentionally"
Conditions/rules that should be kicked in the drain. Most times, it's people who haven't gotten into the room that try to deafen others with these 'rules'.
When it comes to ''Love'', there are no laid down rules. . . .In fact, I'm of the opinion that, there are no fixed rules to any action - either as to its incitation or  original intent. I'll exemplify, what I mean by that proposition  . . .
''Assuming there are 100 people on earth, and 70 have cried when hurt. 30 have never cried, therefore, they've never been hurt  . . . .In short, if You're hurt, You must cry''. False!!!

I'll exemplify again, this time, as to intent . . . .
''If you hurt someone, it's because you hate them . . . .  because it's not rational that You would hurt someone you care about.
John says Mary hurt him, therefore Mary hates John''.
Unless Mary verifies this conclusion, One can boldly say, it's false. For, Mary could have hurt John for his benefit [unknowingly to him] and not as a result of hate.



IyaBasira:
The way I see it , the only type of perfect love is that which God loves us with. But there's one problem. God is . . . God. And we are just puny humans who mess up in the most terrible ways a lot of the time.
I concur!!!
I opine that, human is incapable to Love, as supposed. We can't even love ourselves perfectly. Also, There's nothing like true or fake love. Love is love . . . . It's either  love or not. Only God can love, and how he does that, I know not. kiss
What man feels, and calls 'Love', I can't explain. Iice made a comment on a thread, that made me reflect. . . . . I quote



iice:
[color=#9900ff]love is not a something on its own, it's just a term.  We humans give it life. . .thus, our love is subject to our interpretation/manipulation/strength/weakness.  [/color]
So much truth in this comment.

IyaBasira:
Some people are brought up in violent environments and thus, their idea of love is twisted and their way of expressing it is just not what a "normal" person is used to. But that does't mean they aren't  in love, does it?
What if someone is excessively selfish and they just are not used to the idea of looking after anyone's interests but theirs due to their background? Falling in love wont CHANGE their character's  automatically, will it? If anything it makes them more selfish because they may want to play the field and keep the one they want waiting in the wings but intentionally hurting them in the process.
You're on point.

I  have been having an affair with a married man, I joined this forum to  get an insight into how Nigerians think in general, as he is Nigerian. This article has given me something to seriously think about. I don't think for a sec that he will leave his wife for me, so the question is 'is it really worth the pain that his wife will suffer were she to find out about us'. The even sadder part is I think its not the first time he's done it to her, and she seems like the kind that will stay with him no matter what. I feel so guilty now and all for what, a very skilful lover with a big satisfying manhood who will never be mine.
I admire the fact that You can be sincere with Yourself.
