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.
