Give your haters<br />
a show to behold<br />
—Tiwa Savage<br />
Nigeria’s leading superstar singer, Tiwa Savage,<br />
has done a whole lot of things since her arrival<br />
on the music scene in 2013 with her debut<br />
single “Kele Kele Love”. Some bad, some good,<br />
depending on the divide you find yourself.<br />
Trick or treat, it doesn’t matter because this<br />
Isale-Eko, Lagos State-born mother of one<br />
keeps winning.<br />
She’s the composite performer who has<br />
dazzled with both mother nature and<br />
improvisations life has to offer. She’s not<br />
wet behind the ears when it comes to her<br />
stagecraft and magic, and oftentimes<br />
may have led her to the edge of<br />
immorality or morality. But she<br />
understands the game she’s in and plays<br />
it like a master puppeteer, having her<br />
fans dancing on the string she weaves. A<br />
little body show here and there doesn’t<br />
take a skin off her teeth. Even if it means<br />
baring it all, Tiwa can bear taking the<br />
plunge, which she had on a number of<br />
occasions. She did again, on her birthday<br />
on 5 th of February. She knew what was<br />
to follow and damn it all she did.<br />
“No one watches you more than your<br />
haters, make sure you give them a<br />
show,” she had captioned the poolside<br />
bikini picture she posted. She had given<br />
too many disconcertingly mesmerising<br />
shows in her illustrious 8 years career as<br />
a solo artiste and one more wouldn’t<br />
definitely rock her boat or knock them<br />
off their rockers.<br />
Any man who loves<br />
you will never hide<br />
A<br />
—Mandy Ujunwa<br />
usty Nollywood actress, Ujunwa Mandy<br />
BObi is as desirable as any woman could be<br />
in terms of frontal endowment. But if you are<br />
looking for secret relationship, you may be on<br />
a wrong page with the ebony bombshell of<br />
lusciousness from Nnewi, Anambra State.<br />
In a recent post on Instagram, she expressed<br />
her opinion about secret relationships.<br />
She writes, “ A secret relationship is a fraud.<br />
Any man who loves you will never hide you,<br />
my sister”.<br />
One of the respondents to the post is a<br />
colleague of hers in the mammary section,<br />
known on Instagram as @Noradosh and she<br />
was quick to give the younger Mandy her own<br />
piece of mind.<br />
“And a public relationship ain’t good either<br />
my sister” she had said.<br />
Mandy was a makeup artist before becoming<br />
an actress and her first movie was an Igbo<br />
movie, “Obi Ngbawa”, in 2016. She has<br />
featured in movies like Angry Mother, Odida<br />
Kingdom, The Little Prince, and some Igbo<br />
movies like: Ajondu, Onye-Nna, Dimona etc.<br />

Biodun<br />
Okeowo<br />
Okeowo, known<br />
in the industry as ‘Omo<br />
Butty’ or ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ is<br />
without doubt, one of the<br />
hottest and most talented<br />
Yoruba-speaking actresses<br />
on the scene and she has<br />
remained so for many<br />
years. She’s the<br />
conventional ‘figure<br />
eight’ African woman.<br />
In an interview<br />
with Potpourri the mother<br />
of two who still keeps her<br />
shape as good as it was ten<br />
years ago, revealed what is<br />
most alluring about her<br />
physical appearance.<br />
“Well, I will say my hips and<br />
eyeballs. God has blessed me<br />
with what African men really<br />
like. Even the modern day African<br />
man who pretends to like a<br />
skinny woman, after getting down<br />
with her, he would marry a<br />
woman who has ample flesh in the<br />
right proportions,” she said.<br />
And her secret is simple : “I have<br />
been a vegetarian for many years<br />
now and the reason is not farfetched.<br />
I have the tendency to be<br />
overweight, so I’m seriously<br />
checking it in order not to lose<br />
my figure-eight shape,” she revealed.<br />
Biodun Okeowo who is a single<br />
mother claimed to have married as a<br />
virgin.<br />
