Bimbo Thomas says she regrets sending nude photos to ex-lover

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 10:15 AM PDT

Actress Bimbo Thomas granted an interview recently to The Nollywood Reporter, where she admitted sending nude photos to a married ex-lover. Bimbo says it's one the big mistakes of her life.
"Yes, I have been in love before and I have been involved in relationships I thought was love but wasn't.. There was this relationship I thought would lead to the altar. I was committed to it and the guy was committed too but it still didn't work out. We are still friends though. When I came out of that relationship, I didn't want to date again. I just wanted to be left alone but you know women and love; I found another guy, he was the kind of guy one will call a gentleman. I fell in love with him; I could do anything for him. I even made a mistake that still tugs at my conscience till date; I sent him my nude photos. 
Looking back now, it was one mistake too many especially when I realized the guy was deceiving me as he was married with children. I cried and cried! I almost gave up on everything thing but God kept me."
On asking why she made such a stupid mistake, she replied, "Yes, it is a stupid mistake but you know celebrities are humans too.  We hurt, we laugh, we cry, we love, we grief and do everything every other human being does. We fall in love and make mistakes. Though we fall down like the Bible would say, but we can't stay down, we get up and keep forging ahead. Many guys that approach femalecelebrities have evil intentions."
Responding to questions on if she will gladly date again, the Omo Ghetto star said she will but will approach the subject cautiously. "Dating is now something I dread. I don't think I will give up on love but the next guy might pay for the sins of others." She said amidst laughter laced with vengeance. We can't help but pray God helps the next guy.
Bimbo Thomas, a graduate of creative art from the University of Lagos, came into the industry a few years ago and after a series of small roles, became a household name, thanks to "Omo Ghetto", a Yoruba movie produced by popular Actress cum Producer, FunkeAkindele.

OBB exclusive: Marketers ban Mercy Johnson for being too expensive

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 10:10 AM PDT

Yeah you read right, Nollwood marketers have banned actress Mercy Johnson Okojie for being too expensive. Doesn't make sense does it? If someone's fees is too high, the sensible thing to do would be to boycott them and use less expensive actresses. Leave her to those who can afford her na, abi?

Mercy Johnson is currently the highest paid actress in Nollywood. She charges between N1.8million to N2m to feature in a movie. The others, like Ini and Funke charge between N700k to N1.2million.

For this reason, the actress has been blacklisted by the Nollywood Movie Marketers Association. The ban will not take effect immediately as Mercy has already signed up to do quite a number of movies. She returned on Thursday from a movie location, and will be on the set of another movie from tomorrow, Sunday. She will be traveling out of Nigeria sometime this month and when she returns, will be on another movie set...so she's basically booked till the end of the year.

The idea now is not to ban her after all her current contracts end. So the ban won't take effect until at least January 2014. This is not the first time the movie marketers association will be placing a ban on actors. They did this a few years ago when quite a number of Nollywood actors including Genevieve Nnaji, Ramsey Noah, RMD, Emeka Ike, Jim Iyke and others were blacklisted.

Three men gang rape 15 year old girl in Lagos

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 10:05 AM PDT

Three men have allegedly gang-raped a 15-year old girl at the Ikorodu area of Lagos, as the police are alleged to be threatening the victim's parents to settle the matter out of court.

The state government had earlier blamed the police for frustrating rape cases by threatening victims and their families to withdraw their cases. Two of the men have been arraigned at one of the newly established Family Courts in Ikeja for allegedly raping the girl.

The suspects are being tried by the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender, OPD, while the third suspect is still at large. It was learnt that the victim was lured to No 23, Fola Mustapha Street, in Ajegunle area of Ikorodu by her classmate (name withheld), a 16-year old girl, on the pretext that she wanted to return a text book which she had earlier borrowed from the victim.


The victim was deceived by her friend who had already arranged with the three suspected rapists to have sex with her forcefully. The three suspects; Yusuf Mohammed, Rasheed Oyedepo and Tunde were alleged to have inflicted bodily injury on the girl (name withheld).
It was gathered that the raped girl's friend deliberately delayed her classmate for hours and enabled the heinous crime by putting on the generator set, on the pretext that she needed to charge her phone.
According to the OPD , the victim wanted to take her leave in annoyance when it was getting too late for the her to return home, but her friend told her to wait for a while before taking her to a new room where she was raped in turns by the gang.

While taking turns to rape the girl, the noise from the generator and the music they were playing prevented the people outside from hearing the screaming and wailing of the girl. On getting home in a bad condition, the girl's mother took her to a private clinic for medical attention.

She was taken to Ikorodu General Hospital for proper medical treatment, where it was discovered that her womb had been tampered with at the private clinic.

The victim was in a critical condition as she was admitted in the hospital for three days while undergoing blood transfusion. A new twist has, however, been added to the story as the police has transferred the suspects, whose cases are already in court, to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti for investigation, an act the OPD described as unlawful.

It was gathered that the police had gone to the girl's family threatening the mother for taking the case to OPD, after which they transferred the suspects to SCID, Panti. It would be recalled that the government has established a clinic where DNA tests will be conducted on rape victims and suspected rapists to enhance prosecution of the cases.

The heartbreaking poem a 14yr old girl wrote before she killed herself

Posted: 02 Nov 2013 09:53 AM PDT

Izzy Dix (pictured above), a gifted pupil who had ambitions to go to Oxford University, took her own life after complaining she could no longer cope with being bullied, both at school and online.

'Izzy would come home and sob in my arms" Her mother Gabbi said "They called her "ugly", "freak", "frigid". If she put her hands up in class, she'd be labelled a "swot" and they'd snigger at her, or make crude comments. They'd exclude her from events, tell her to go home, she wasn't wanted. They'd turn their backs on her, literally. When she did come home, it didn't stop, because it doesn't, these days. They name-called her by text, then online. She'd log onto Facebook and get abuse. Then onto that awful site Ask.fm and be subjected to filth."

14 yr old Izzy committed suicide on September 17th. Her mother explained what happened that night
"When she came home from school that night, she seemed tired and a bit cranky. We had words because I wanted to watch The Great British Bake Off and she didn't. But there was nothing to suggest she was going to do what she did. I remember she painted her nails - she was so meticulous about how she looked - then went up to her room and did her homework, had a shower, got her bag ready for school, laid out her uniform. I popped in and we had another chat about how the bullying was getting on top of her. It was nothing we hadn't done 100 times before, and I'd always give her the talk about how she was stronger than the bullies.
'Then I went downstairs while she got ready for bed. I had a cup of tea and a cigarette — she hates me smoking so I did it outside. I was gone 15 minutes, tops. In that 15 minutes my life was destroyed.'

When she came back inside, Gabbi went back upstairs to see if Izzy was getting into bed, but the bedroom door did not swing back as usual.
'Something was blocking it, and it was Izzy,' she says, and breaks down completely.
Her description of the hours that followed is too awful to relate in detail, but she managed to get her daughter's body down and dial 999, then ran hysterically into the street. Neighbours tried to revive Izzy while she 'just took off'.

'It's all a blur. At one point I ran into a car. A police officer had to restrain me.
'I remember him saying, "I am so sorry to have to do this" as he got me to the ground.'
Not long before her suicide, Izzy wrote a heartbreaking poem about her ordeal. She called it I Give Up. See it below
