Build yourself first before expecting to marry rich – Actor Uzor Arukwe tells single ladies

Popular Nollywood actor, Uzor Arukwe, has advised single ladies to take self-development seriously and ensure that they are established in their own capacities before hoping to marry a rich and caring man.

He gave the advice while reacting to the praises the character of Odogwu, a caring billionaire lover which he played in the movie Love In Every World 2, is receiving on social media from people who declared the character as their ideal man.

He noted that the character of Chioma, the lover of the billionaire played by Bambam, was already a valuable woman before the billionaire began supporting her.

The actor explained that the billionaire didn’t need to ask his woman what her contributions to their marriage would be because it was clear she was an industrious woman.

Arukwe urged ladies to build value for themselves first, and valuable men would naturally locate them.

On his X handle, he wrote, “While we are basking in our delulu, it’s important to remember that Odogwu saw Chioma as a valuable woman before throwing his full weight to support her. He didn’t even need to ask what she brings to the table because it was clear she’s an industrious woman. So as a woman, build value for yourself first, and your Odogwu will locate you to become your helpmate that makes everything easier to handle.”

Nollywood star Ohameze denies stroke rumors

Veteran Nollywood actor Clem Ohameze has refuted rumours that he is down with a stroke and has been abandoned by his children.

Ohameze, in a video cited by ObasEmpire on Saturday to deny the report posted by a Facebook user, stated that he has gotten both the police and DSS involved.

He said, “I have initiated a police case. I have sent his number and name to them. This is a cybercrime. I called my friend, who is a director in the DSS. It has cost me a lot to come this far in my life. I will not let someone rubbish me just like that for cheap popularity because you want to attract traffic to your page.

The other time, it was that I was dead; now it is that I had a stroke. I said this and that, but who did I grant the interview to? Do I have three sons? What nonsense is this? Why don’t you call and reach out to me and confirm? Now, you have succeeded in smearing my name all over the world. I guess he is satisfied. I had to call my children, and fortunately, it was only my daughter who heard about it. Why would people do this to me?”

The Facebook user had posted that the 60-year-old actor has been down with a stroke for the past two decades, and his male children had abandoned him, with only his daughter taking care of him.

The report, which has now been tagged as fake, claimed the actor said, “Since I had a stroke, my daughter is the only person who has not given up on me. She has been taking care of me for over two decades now. My sons don’t care about me anymore. They gave up on me too soon.

They are busy making sure their wives and their kids are happy, and my only daughter is making sure I am OK at the expense of her own happiness. If my daughter had not been born, I would have been dead more than a decade ago. When I was strong, I invested more in my three sons, but life is difficult to understand. I can’t explain it, but you don’t know what God has done for you if you have a child. They are the only people who will never give up on you.”

IVD Is Being Bullied, Held Hostage Because Of One Woman’ – Blessing CEO Cries Out After Arrest.

Relationship expert, Blessing Okoro also known as Blessing CEO, has reacted to the arrest of her fiancé, auto dealer Ikechukwu Ogbonna, also known as IVD.

ObasEmpire reports that IVD was picked up by officers of the Lagos State Police Command at the airport on his way to Qatar.

The arrest is said to be linked to an ongoing domestic violence case involving the death of his wife, Bimbo, in 2022.

Blessing CEO in an Instagram post claimed there was no official travel restriction placed on IVD, wondering why he would openly plan his trip if he was not allowed to travel.

She also insisted that his passport had only recently been replaced after being declared missing for two years, and no court order had taken it from him.

She questioned why the police held him without a proper case file or official charges

According to her, the officers told them IVD would remain in custody until Monday, even though no formal statement had been taken.

She accused an unnamed person of using their influence to detain IVD unjustly.

She described the situation as a power play filled with emotion and alleged that IVD had been subjected to pressure and threats for the past three years since the case began.

She wrote: “What are you charging him for? Show us the paperwork. Why are you holding him hostage just to please a woman? This is a tribal war; it has nothing to do with justice. And the state must be questioned. Nobody arrested ivd, 1 man is using power to bully ivd. No case file, no statement just said oga said hold him till monday so we go lock am up. My question is for what??? They know the judges are on vacation, which is why the bully. How come bloggers know everything that the police don’t know? I wonder how much that woman paid you, Oga.

“I rest my case. Stop bullying Ivd because he is a MAN. Stop intimidating him. Just because you could not take his life, you are doing everything to intimidate him. This is an injustice. They have bullied him for over 3 years.”
