Why I Avoid Kissing In Movies – Clinton Joshua.
Nollywood actor Clinton Joshua has explained why he avoids performing kissing scenes in films, saying it is a deliberate decision shaped by his long-term career goals and the image he wants to maintain in the industry.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In an interview with TVC, Joshua said his concern is that consistently excelling in such roles could lead filmmakers to repeatedly cast him in similar characters, something he is trying to avoid as he builds his acting profile.
He noted that he is intentional about the direction of his career and the kind of on-screen identity he develops.
“If I’m good at it, producers will likely give me the same role over and over again, and I don’t want to kiss half the girls in Nollywood,” he said.
Meanwhile, fellow Nollywood actress Etinosa Idemudia has offered a different perspective on the ongoing debate around intimacy scenes in the industry.
Speaking in an interview with Punch, she said kissing and hugging scenes should not be treated differently from other forms of acting, stressing that professionalism requires actors to fully enter and exit their roles.
According to her, intimacy scenes are purely performative and carry no real emotions once filming is over.
“As soon as the director says ‘cut,’ everyone goes back to normal,” she said.
Nollywood actor Chinedu Ikedieze, popularly known as Aki, has opened up about the painful experiences he faced growing up due to his small stature caused by stunted growth.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking during a chat with media personality Chude Jideonwo, the actor revealed that he was frequently mocked by children in his neighbourhood. According to him, the taunts were constant and followed him everywhere, with even his siblings sometimes using hurtful nicknames during disagreements, which made the situation more distressing.
He explained that the persistent ridicule took a serious emotional toll on him, leaving him feeling deeply hurt and overwhelmed at times.
Ikedieze also highlighted the crucial role his mother played during those difficult years, noting that she provided unwavering support, comfort, and guidance.
He said she encouraged him to ignore the insults and concentrate on his education, especially since he could not engage in the kind of physical labour other boys his age were doing.
Recalling the experience, he said he often felt unfairly treated by society, but his mother’s advice helped him stay focused and hopeful.
According to him, her encouragement ultimately shaped his path and contributed significantly to his success later in life.
Singer Burna Boy’s mother, Bose Ogulu, has come to his defence following widespread criticism on social media.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Reports indicate that Burna Boy has recently faced backlash online over claims of arrogance, intensified by an incident involving his confrontation with Wizkid’s DJ, DJ Tunez, at a Lagos club. The altercation reportedly escalated into a social media clash between Burna Boy and Wizkid.
Reacting to the controversy, some Nigerians accused the singer of being habitually aggressive and described his behaviour as arrogant.
However, in an interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Channels Television, Bose Ogulu defended her son’s conduct, stating that she has no issue with how he is perceived.
When asked whether she was bothered by Burna Boy being labelled arrogant or how she manages his brand, she replied that she is unfazed by such descriptions.
“I don’t mind honestly, I don’t mind at all. Any adjective they want to attach to you is okay. The thing is, who are you? If knowing your worth and carrying yourself as such is arrogance, then it is a good thing, and I can’t apologise for that,” she said.
She further explained that society often expects people to downplay their worth.
“We were born into a world where we were expected to put our heads down. First is the colour of your skin, the colour of your passport, for me, my gender. So I don’t understand that concept. If I know something, I know it, and I expect you to recognise it. And if you don’t, then put me to the test,” she added.

She later returned in a video shared on her Instagram page, where she appealed for understanding from the public.
In her statement, she admitted that the situation had led to confusion and embarrassment, expressing regret over how events unfolded. However, she insisted that her health condition was genuine and urged Nigerians to be patient as she prepares to provide evidence.
She further stated that she would soon release her medical scan results and biopsy reports to support her claims, adding that she intends to document her health journey moving forward, similar to her previous sharing of cosmetic surgery experiences.
Addressing the donations she received during the period, Blessing CEO said anyone who wants a refund should contact her with proof of payment, including receipts and account details, via direct messages or WhatsApp.
She apologized to her supporters and Nigerians, saying she regretted the controversy and promised greater transparency going forward, while maintaining that she did not lie about her health condition.
