Nollywood Actresses In Secret Wedding
Information reaching The Tide Entertainment has it that these days, Nollywood actresses are increasingly cementing their romantic relationships and walking down the isle in secret. The development is becoming so frequent that it appears a normal practice in the industry as these babes now prefer private ceremonies to lavished public events as far as wedding and traditional marriages are concerned.
The big marriage arrangements embraced by the likes of top actresses, Jennifer Eliogu, Ini Edo, Dakore Egbuson, Mercy Johnson, Muma Gee, Tricia Esiegbe, Stephenie Okereke and many others have become outdated as actresses no longer print wedding invitations or mention their marriage plans to friends.
While it is no longer news that secret weddings have become a norm, sources disclosed that there have various reasons why these show biz practitioners prefer to seal their relationships in secret. It was revealed that a number of them were being beaten by the bug of ill-luck in the past to the extent that they prefer maintaining a low profile until after the knots have been tied. Some of the celebrities involved in these secret weddings include:
Uche Jumbo: Until the time she decided to share her wedding pictures on the internet, the stories of this top actress and producer remained a topic for speculation. This is because at the moment when movie practitioners were believing the stories about her marriage to Kenny Rodriguez, the same actress went to the internet and posted a message that countered the story.
Later, she opened up on why she decided to marry secretly.
Stella Damasus: She was among the first actresses who started the journey to under ground wedding. She contracted her second marriage with Igbo big boy Emeka Nzeribe secretly They had traditional marriage in her home town Asaba, Delta State but the proposed huge white wedding never saw the light of the day.
Lilian Bach: Sexy actress and producer Lilian Bach also decided to conceal her marriage till date. The light skinned actress dragged her live in lover of many years called Alaka to the Ikoyi Registry last year, but she denied the story totally.
Reports equally had it that the actress moved into her hubby’s multimillion naira mansion located in Lekki Lagos after the marriage registration. Since the rumours of the secret marriage, the top actress and sizzling model has gone out of sight.
Uche Iwufi: Controversial actress, Uche Iwufi secretly concluded plans and moved to Ikoyi Registry where she married her oil and gas heartthrob, Juwon Lawal. According to sources, the actress path and that of Juwon crossed the same year at the United Kingdom where they started a romance that remained hush-hush till they tied the nuptial knots in the same way.
Oby Edozie: Star actress and producer Oby Edozie still adopted the clandestine method when she tied the knots with her heartthrob, Alex O. at Ikoyi Registry.

R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.

His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
