Curlled this story from this week’s edition of Encomium Magazine. All these drama. Read it below…

”It is surely not the best of times for star actress, Bisi Ibidapo Obe. The actress who is wallowing in deep mess over her controversial pregnancy, has relocated to Ghana where she’s said to be hibernating pending delivery of her baby.
According to an industry source, the actress decided to move out of Nigeria some days back after her UK based lover, Lopez, who is said to be footing the bill of her Magodo Lagos duplex, breezed into the country and kicked her out of the house. He was said to have taken the decision after it became obvious that he was not responsible for Bisi’s pregnancy. Lopez returned to the UK after locking the house and withdrawing the Range Rover he bought for her, leaving behind her C-Class Mercedes Benz and Honda Element she acquired a while back. (Though a close friend of the actress denied the house was locked by Lopez but confirmed Bisi went to Ghana)”

For some time now, star actor, Kenneth Okonkwo, who played the movie role of ‘Andy’ in the popular movie ‘Living in Bondage’ has not been seen in most movies as he used to in the past.

What Nigeriafilms.com can confirm to you is that the prolific actor has added the gospel of soul winning for God to his already acquired two professions; acting and law profession. The actor surprised many when he was seen at a lawyers’ forum few years ago.

Now, Kenneth has shown that aside from acting and law practice, he is a good Evangelist; a fisher of men for God. Kenneth Okonkwo recently headlined a 3-day crusade held in Ikorodu, Lagos as a guest minister of God of the event.

The ‘3-Day Explosive Fire and Total Deliverance’ crusade was tagged ‘Night of Dominion’ and was held between September 26-28. 2012. The service took place at Evangelist Peter Nwabueze’s Christ Mission Worldwide Church, Owode Onirin, Ikorodu Lagos.

Liz Benson, Pat Attah, Eucharia Anunobi are the few actors who have become ‘fishers of men’, will Kenneth dump acting to face the God’s minister full time?

If rumour reaching Nigeriafilms.com is anything to go by, then, Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji, who was made Range Rover Evogue SUV brand ambassador in June 2012, may return the car to Coscharis, the distributor of Land Rover brand of cars in Nigeria.

According to a bird in the know, Genevieve will have to return the about N8million worth car due to what we hear is based on the terms she agreed to while signing the deal with the car distributor.

The source, who claimed to be in the know, told Nigeriafilms.com that Genny, as the actress is fondly called, was given two options while she was about to put pen to papers on the deal.

The first option, as we were told, was to have $100,000 and cruise with the car for six months as its ambassador, while the second option was to have the car for keeps and have about $50,000.

So, Genny, as the source said, went for the first option, which means she would return the car by December 2012. Nigeriafilms.com made effort to contact Genevieve on phone to get speak to her on this issue but her phone was switched off.
