You’re A True One – Media Personality, Do2dtun Hails Actor Bolanle Ninalowo For Supporting Him In His Custody Battle

Do2dtun, the Nigerian media personality, has responded to the outpouring of support he received from actor Bolanle Ninalowo.

Earlier, 626Blaze reported that Do2dtun had called out the American Embassy in Nigeria for allowing his ex-wife, Taiwo Oyebanjo, to relocate to the US with their children without his consent.

He also called out the former US Consulate to Nigeria for allegedly conspiring with Taiwo and her family to take his kids out of Nigeria without his consent.

Showing support for him, Bolanle promised him that his fight would never go in vain, as he recalled how he had to put all he had built and achieved in Nigeria on hold to return to America and fight for his children, no matter the cost. Bolanle said his son helped him through it because he always reminded him that he saw Him.

Appreciating him, Do2dtun revealed that he has conversations with Bolanle and shares his experiences with him. He described Bolanle as a true one and appreciated him for his understanding and insight into everything.

“Thank you so much, Nino. You know what’s funny, I have seen all types of judgment from different people, but again I pause sometimes to think what is the worth of these over my kids. I am silent, go about my business, and then I move ahead in life, but then I see people like you and how you fight for the future of your children. I had conversations with you, and you’ve inspired me.

“It’s easy to move on to some people, but that’s to those who can’t ever see the true meaning of sharing a bond. We are at a crossroads where no one pauses, thinks, and asks, Is this enough to warrant such misjudgment and inhumane conduct?

“The truth is, it’s just a pure witch hunt and someone who needs to peddle narratives that mar me to have stay and win a fight. To what end?
Thank you so much for understanding and seeing through everything. You are a true one. Love you, my gee”.

How Being Tagged ‘Arrogant’ Has Cost Me A Lot And Affected My Brand – BBNaija Star, CeeC Opens Up (Video)

Reality TV star Cynthia Nwadiora, popularly known as CeeC, has reflected on how people perceive her personality, revealing that many fans often misinterpret her confidence as arrogance.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate shared her thoughts during a chat with Teddy A on the Echo Room podcast.

During the conversation, she explained that living in Nigeria comes with a challenge where people easily follow negative labels without taking time to know a person.

She said that once someone is tagged as a bad person, many others accept it without meeting the individual involved.

 

Ceec said this has affected how some people see her brand, as many assume she is arrogant even before having any personal interaction with her.

 

She added that anyone who meets her in person will realise she is different from the image created online and will likely change their opinion about her.

She also mentioned that she tries her best to give people a better understanding of who she is whenever they meet her, hoping they leave with a clearer and more accurate impression.

She said: “As I said, I usually live in Nigeria, where a lot of people follow the bad work. Like if somebody says Oh, this person is a bad person, people don’t even wait to experience you. They just, oh yeah, they say she’s a bad person.

“So people don’t actually get to know you. So yeah, a lot of people see my confidence as being arrogant.

“But I would say something that you cannot meet me in person or experience me as a person, and go home and say I’m arrogant. You would definitely have a change of mindset about me.

“So it has cost me a lot, because I hear some people say, oh, that one, she’s just arrogant. You don’t even know me, but that’s what you, you know, like.

“So it has, but one thing that I’ve tried to do is I make sure that when you meet me, when you give me the grace to get to know me, you will not go home feeling that way.”

I Do Not Feel Anything During Kissing And Hugging Scenes – Actress Etinosa Idemudia Opens Up

Nollywood actress Etinosa Idemudia has stated that passionate kissing and hugging scenes in Nollywood are no different from any other type of movie scenes.

Etinosa made this known during an interview with Punch.

While speaking on the growing conversation about how intimacy scenes are handled in Nollywood, Etinosa stated that, as a professional actor, one should be able to enter a character and come out of it easily.

The thespian added that she does not feel anything during intimacy scenes.

She said, “Intimacy scenes in Nollywood are like any other scenes. Once the director says “cut,” everyone is normal.

“As a professional actor, you should be able to enter your character and come out of it easily. When you hear “action,” you perform. When you hear “cut,” you detach.

“Kissing and hugging passionately is a performative act. You can do it without thinking about it or feeling anything. That is where acting comes in. It is not registered in your mind as something erotic.

“Most times, I am thinking about whether the scene looks good enough on screen. It is more calculative than intimate.

“Even though it looks real, I do not feel anything during intimate scenes because it is a mind thing. When your mind is tuned to your job, you do not get carried away.”
