Why I Couldn’t Succeed In Nollywood – Ceec

Published

on

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Cynthia Nwadiora, popularly known as Cee-C, has shared the reason she believes it was difficult for her to succeed in Nollywood after gaining fame from the reality television show.

It was reports that Cee-C became popular after she finished as the first runner-up in the 2018 edition of Big Brother Naija, where Miracle Igbokwe emerged as the winner.

However, she explained that the quick rise to fame that comes with participating in Big Brother Naija can make it hard for contestants to build the kind of relationships needed to succeed in the film industry.

Speaking in an interview with Vanguard, she said many participants move from being unknown to becoming famous within a short period.

According to CeeC, this sudden change may not give them enough time to build strong connections in the entertainment industry, especially in Nollywood, where relationships and networks often play an important role in career growth.

She explained that actors who enter the film industry through the traditional route usually spend years building contacts, working on smaller projects and developing strong ties with producers, directors and fellow actors.

This process helps them gain stability in the industry.

In contrast, reality television stars often gain popularity quickly but may not have the same professional network that helps many Nollywood actors grow and remain active in the industry.

Since leaving the Big Brother Naija house, Cee-C has appeared in a few films and television projects.

Despite these opportunities, she admitted that finding a stable place in the entertainment industry after reality television can be challenging, especially when the intense attention that follows the show begins to fade.

In 2023, she returned to the Big Brother Naija platform as one of the contestants in the All Stars edition of the reality show.

During that season, she stayed in the competition for several weeks and eventually finished in third place before leaving the house shortly before the grand finale.

I take full responsibility, Sisi Alagbo’s husband apologises over leaked sex tape

Published

on

The husband of popular social media personality Eniola Fagbemi, known as Sisi Alagbo, Adesola Akeem, has issued a public apology over a leaked sex tape involving his wife, himself and another woman.

The video went viral on Monday and has since generated widespread controversy online.

The video, which depicted the trio in an intimate encounter, began circulating on WhatsApp groups and Telegram channels before spreading rapidly to gossip blogs, Instagram pages and explicit-content websites.

In the footage, Fagbemi is seen filming Akeem having sexual relations with the third woman while all three were unclothed. It remains unclear how the video made its way online.

Akeem, in a statement posted on his Facebook page on Thursday, said he took full responsibility for his actions and acknowledged the disappointment the incident had caused.

“I write with a deep sense of responsibility and sincere remorse to extend my heartfelt apologies to my family, friends, business associates, religious leaders, fans, loved ones, and the entire Nigerian public over the recent incident involving a leaked sex scandal.

“I acknowledge the disappointment, embarrassment, and concern this situation has caused, and I take full responsibility for my actions,” he wrote.

He added that his conduct had fallen short of the values expected of him by those who had trusted and supported him.

Akeem also directed specific apologies to family members, friends, business associates, and religious bodies.

“To my fans and supporters, I deeply regret letting you down,” he said.

He described the period as one of reflection and said he was committed to making better decisions and rebuilding trust.

“I am committed to making better decisions, rebuilding trust, and upholding integrity in both my private and public life going forward,” he added.

Sisi Alagbo had on Wednesday also apologised on her verified Facebook account, saying she had been unable to eat or sleep since the video emerged.

“I own my mistakes, and I apologize with all sincerity for the video circulating online. I am deeply sorry to everyone who felt disappointed in me,” she wrote.

Fagbemi rose to prominence through her promotion of herbal concoctions and became a social media sensation after a viral video of her kneeling to greet Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

Portable, Efe trade words ahead Chaos in the Ring

Published

on

Social media stars Habeeb ‘Portable’ Badmus and Carter Efe traded fresh threats ahead of their celebrity boxing bout at Chaos in the Ring 4, as the main event fighters Ezra Arenyeka and Godday Appah also exchanged sharp words at a face-off ahead of the May 1 card at the Balmoral Hall, Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Portable, who previously beat both Charles Okocha and Speed Darlington in celebrity exhibition bouts to win two belts, made clear he intended to add a third at Efe’s expense.

“I will use you to collect my third belt. Charles Okocha was bigger than you, Speed Darlington was bigger than you and I beat them. I will beat you now,” he told Efe directly.

Efe was unmoved, dismissing Portable’s record and warning that the bout would be brief.

“You can’t beat me. You that is scared of me — when we meet in the ring, I will beat you. One punch and you fall,” he fired back.

In the main event, Arenyeka and Appah, whose bout is billed as a symbolic WBO Peace Fight between the Itsekiri and Ijaw communities of the Niger Delta, set aside any goodwill between them at the face-off.

Appah was unsparing in his assessment of what awaited his opponent.

“We were friends but there is no friendship in the ring. Right now, I am fighting for my belt, for my people and for the win. He knows who the king is. I am here for the knockout — this is war. You will not survive six rounds with me,” he said.

Arenyeka replied without hesitation saying, “I am going to break your head. You said six rounds — I will beat you in five. You will sleep in the ring.”

Elsewhere on the card, Ghana’s Elvis Ahorgah and Newcastle’s Joe Laws added their own flavour to proceedings, with Ahorgah delivering his threats in rhyme in the manner of Muhammad Ali, while Laws painted his face in the colours of the Nigerian flag in a bid to win over the home crowd against a fighter from a rival nation.

British southpaw Michael McKinson, whose father is of Nigerian descent, also features on the card against Algerian prospect Mohammad Sahnoun and said he was looking forward to making a statement while soaking in the Nigerian culture.

Balmoral Group Promotions CEO Ezekiel Adamu said the face-offs reflected the broader ambition behind the event.

“It’s entertainment, but I want these young guys to trust me that the world is watching. When you have a platform like this, it changes lives. This is what it is all about for us: giving these guys the opportunity and visibility and showing the best of African boxing. It’s wartime and let’s show the world what we have to offer here in Africa,” he said.

The nine-bout card, promoted by Balmoral Group Promotions in association with former world heavyweight champion Amir Khan’s AK Promotions and sanctioned by the Nigeria Boxing Board of Control, will be broadcast live worldwide on DAZN.

It also features teenage sensation Raheem Animashaun against Tanzanian veteran Emmanuel Amos, national middleweight champion Rasheed Adeyemo against Tanzanian Nicolaus Mdoe, Basit Adebayo against Loren Japhet, UK-based Ghanaian Samuel Antwi against Congolese veteran Paul Kamanga, and a welterweight clash between Seun Wahab and Saidi Mkola.
