Another bitter war has just erupted in Nollywood. Interestingly, it involves two top actresses who used to be so, so close. One is from the South South and the other is from the South East. The one from SS has alphabet R beginning her name and the other one, alphabet V. The bone of contention, or rather the cause of their quarrel, is the former’s husband, whose first name begins with alphabet C and the surname O.
The accused, YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine was told, has been going up and down telling everybody that Uncle C is asking her out. Which R is not finding funny. And on her part has been countering the allegation with this: “Don’t mind her; she’s the one seducing my husband and always begging him for money. It was after it dawned on her that my husband will not cheat on me and also thinking that he will tell me what she’s been doing in secret that she decided to sing first.”
The war has become so messy – with the sordid details now circulating all over Nollywood. R is fair, pretty and leggy. V, on her own, is dark, hairy and not too pretty. Both actresses graduated from the University of Lagos and had done a couple of movies together before things fell apart. They used to hang out together, moving from club to club and enjoying each other’s company and confidence. But today, they are sworn enemies.
