prevalence of scandals in the Nigerian movie industry was highlighted and it
was noted that these scandals, which have become synonymous with Nollywood,
have been perpetrated mostly by actresses.

are synonymous with Nollywood acts, and these have affected the image of many
Nigerian actors and actresses.
Below are some of the names mentioned in the story;

the news even before her controversial wedding to Edo big boy, Prince Odi
Okojie on Saturday, August 27, 2011. The lady hit the news headlines when she

which was feasted on by the print media as she was alleged to have snatched
someone’s husband as revealed by one Lovelyn, a supposed wife of Prince Okojie.
