Ini Edo, Rita Dominic At War
Top Nollywood divas, Ini
Edo-Ehiagwina and Rita Dominic who were known as best friends in the make believe industry are now worst enemies due to alleged betrayal by Rita Dominic.
It was gathered that before the marriage of the Akwa Ibom State born actress, Ini Edo, to her heartthrob Philip Ehiagwina, she was very close to Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State who was said to be dishing out money and other expensive gifts to her. She was also the unofficial link person for Nollywood.
The problem between the A-List actresses began when Rita Dominic whom Ini Edo gave a link to the governor decided to play smart by always sneaking into Uyo, the state capital without Ini Edo’s knowledge. It was gathered that when Ini got to know about this, she took it out with Rita and since then, the two have become enemies and Ini is not ready to forgive Rita for the betrayal.

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.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. 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.
