Why I did BBL surgery — Uche Ogbodo

Nollywood actress, Uche Ogbodo, has opened up on why she decided to undergo body enhancement surgery.

In an interview with Saturday Beats, the mother of three revealed that her decision came after struggling with her body image following childbirth.

She said, “Well, about being naturally endowed, I don’t know how you mean because I didn’t have an hourglass shape. Growing up, I was very busty, but that’s not all beauty entails nowadays. Starting to have babies didn’t help matters for me. I didn’t like what I looked like when I looked back at myself after my third baby. So I felt like I owed it to myself to be happy and confident.

“I had to have work done on myself for me, not for any other person, but for my mental health — to feel good, okay, and enough. I am enough competition for myself.”

Explaining why she chose to be open about her transformation, unlike many celebrities who stay silent after cosmetic procedures, Ogbodo said transparency was important to her.

“In this country, I always find it a bit awkward that people are not honest and transparent most times, especially celebrities. You’re a role model, and then you lie to people who look up to you or who love you genuinely. Why are you a shining star when you cannot be a torchbearer for other people?

“I am somebody who likes to encourage women and help them build themselves up, using my life experiences to preach hope for women who don’t believe enough in themselves.

“So many people just go and disappear, and they come out with a banging body. They look like that’s how they were born. That’s not how you were born. You worked on your body. So why are you now hiding the fact that you worked on yourself?”

Speaking further on her butt enlargement procedure, she noted that going through three cesarean sections had affected her physique.

“Nobody is molded in perfection, especially not mothers who have gone through cesarean sections. I did mine three times; it’s not easy to maintain that kind of body. So, I won’t just disappear and come back with a flat tummy and a very nice ass. That’s not what I believe in.”

She added that her husband supported her decision because he understood her struggles.

Acknowledging the risks involved in surgery, the actress said, “There’s danger in everything. There’s danger in having malaria. But I knew there was nothing to be afraid of because I was in the right hands.”

Popular Nollywood actress cum filmmaker, Ruth Kadiri, has spoken about why she separates her private lifestyle from her professional life.

It was reports that, with over a decade in the movie industry, little is known about Ruth Kadiri’s private life.

Aside from being married to an unknown husband and the couple welcoming two kids between 2019 and 2022, the thespian has never shared a photo of her husband on social media, but only posts pictures of their children on their birthdays.

In an interview with media personality, Jay OnAir, the mother of two stated that the last thing she wants to do is to lose herself in the process of being an entertainer.

Ruth Kadiri explained that she cherishes her private life so much because she wants to keep the wealth of happiness or fulfilment for herself while building her career.

The filmmaker added that she would not allow anyone to sway her into putting her private lifestyle on public display.

She said, “The last thing I want to do as a person is to lose myself in the process of being an entertainer. I need to be able to keep the wealth of happiness or fulfilment for myself whist growing and building what I want to build. And I’m not going to let anybody sway me.”

Nollywood actress Bukky Wright has cautioned her fans to be alert following the creation of fake social media accounts.

According to her, the account is using her name to deceive people with a false UK job offer.

It was reports that the veteran actress took to her verified Instagram page to inform her followers that she has not asked anyone for money or personal details through any other account apart from her official one.

She made it clear that a post recently shared in her name about job opportunities in the United Kingdom was fake and should be ignored.

Bukky Wright expressed concern that some people may have already fallen victim to the scam and urged her supporters to immediately report and block any suspicious accounts pretending to be her.

She wrote: “Dear friends and supporters, Please be cautious of fake accounts pretending to be me. I never requested for money. Then, I will never request for personal information or private chat on any other account. This is my main page!

“If you receive any suspicious messages or offers, kindly report and block those accounts immediately.

“NB: A post was made on my account offering a job vacancy in UK and in turn we realize was fraudulent please disregard!!!”

The 58-year-old actress, known for her roles in movies like Omotara Johnson, Red Hot, and Unforgivable, joins the growing list of Nigerian celebrities warning their followers about online impersonation.

Her warning comes shortly after actress Iyabo Ojo also spoke out about a fake Facebook account operated by a blogger impersonating her.

Nollywood Actor, Williams Uchemba Demands Public Execution Of Kidnappers

Nollywood actor, Williams Uchemba, has called for public execution of convicted kidnappers in Nigeria.

It was reports that the thespian made the call in the wake of kidnappings happening in the country, and many have expressed fear as the yuletide draws closer.

In a video shared on his Instagram page on Friday, Williams argued that if people do not see the consequences of crimes such as kidnapping, the crime rate will continue to flourish.

The film star also cited China, stating that the capital punishment for kidnapping and corruption in the country is death.

In his words, “When a child begins to steal meat from the mother’s pot and the mother upon catching the child does very little in terms of punishment or showing the child this is the consequences of this, what the mother is doing is she is breeding a hardened criminal that will eventually grow up and even destroy her own life or become a national disgrace to the family.

“We have a constitution that governs this country and I do not see why when it is time to execute that constitution, we are not as vocal as we should be.

“The capital punishment for kidnapping is death. Some of these kidnappers are caught. We don’t hear anything whether they are being imprisoned or executed. If you ask me, there should be a dedicated Channel just like BBNaija that is dedicated to catching some of these people that do these things and are publicly executed because until we start executing consequences to certain actions, we cannot see the results.

“We want to be like China but we do not have the balls that China has. The punishment for kidnapping and corruption in China is death.”
