Why I Have No Children - Oprah Winfrey

She had an exclusive interview with Hollywood reporters where she explained why she has no child and how a lot of people depend financially on her.

“If I had kids, my kids would hate me,” she told the paper, “They would have ended up on the equivalent of the Oprah Show talking about me; because something [in my life] would have had to suffer and it would’ve probably been them.”

“I was day dreaming about how I could be Martin Luther King’ hence kids were out of the picture. She further discussed her struggles launching her TV network OWN, her financial success and reports she suffered a nervous breakdown in 2012, “I never had a nervous breakdown,” she explained, “I thought that was such sensational exploitation.”

“When you’re the most successful person in your family, in your neighborhood and in your town, everybody thinks you’re the First National Bank,’ she says, “And you have to figure out for yourself where those boundaries are.

She adds: “I got to the point where nobody ever asked me for anything less than $5,000. I felt pressured for a long time to say yes, because I thought, “I can’t lie and say I don’t have it.
“My salary is printed in the paper,”‘ I’ve bought more houses and cars than I can even tell you.

"My Husband Didn’t Ban Me From Acting...I am not sick" - Mosun Filani Says in new interview

Famous Yoruba actress, Mosun Filani has rubbished a report by a blog, a couple of weeks back, that she has passed on. She added that it was the handiwork of her detractors.
Speaking with Encomium magazine, she said “That’s strange o! How can anybody say I am dead when I am still alive? It’s a wicked rumour, and I believe it emanated from enemies of progress. I am not even sick, let alone dying. The rumour is weighty, and it can never be my portion in Jesus name. I believe you can recognize my voice that I am the one speaking with you. That alone shows that it’s a fake and useless rumour. I am alive, hale and hearty, enjoying my marriage. I will advise those behind it to spend their valuable time on something meaningful”
Asked to shed light on another tale that her husband, Kayode Oduoye, has banned her from acting, the talented film maker said



“That’s not true. My husband never banned me from acting. The truth is that after my marriage, I decided to take things easy and concentrate on my home front rather than career. Work is there forever, I can continue at any time I like. My husband doesn’t disturb my career. Our marriage has also been blessed with a baby girl, Oluwashemilore. She was just one year old in November this year. Everything concerning my marriage has to be given special attention before any other thing. But very soon, I will stage a big come back. I am still very much in the industry”

"I’ll Protect My Marriage With My Last Blood" — Sola Kosoko Tells Her Love Story!

  Actress and daughter of veteran actor Jide Kosoko, Adesola Kosoko-Abino in a recent interview with Tribune, talked about her life, career and marriage.
She got married to the love of her life last year!

On her marital life, the 32-year-old actress said, “Beautiful! I’m enjoying it. I don’t ever… Let me emphasise it: I don’t ever, ever want to leave my marriage for anything. That simply means that if anything wants to come between my marriage and me, I would fight with the last drop of my blood. However, “man proposes God disposes.” Everybody wants the best, but sometimes, life could turn out badly for some. I pray that God preserves my marriage.”

And then she narrated her beautiful love story....
"I met my prince charming a long time ago. We didn’t start anything. He asked me out and I rejected him. My reason was that I wanted to gain admission before anything else. I met him when he was writing his final examination in the university. That was way back in December 1999.

 

He went to the Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH). I told him if he was really interested in me, he would think of how I would get admission into the university, like he did. And I was very poor, like most of us, in Mathematics. So, he would teach me Mathematics. I was always failing mathematics. And you cannot get admission into higher institution without passing Mathematics and English, at least at credit levels. He taught me Mathematics until I passed it finally. 

 

Did he also teach you mathematics in the bedroom?
Which bedroom? We were not even dating. Can someone teach you mathematics in the bedroom [laughs]? He really supported me during my tender and ignorant days. Sometimes I would be very discouraged and depressed about my inability to learn maths. He would encourage me. He encouraged me to have a diploma, after which I got a transfer to study Sociology in the university.

On her take on failed marriages in Nollywood, she said, “Well, like I said earlier, I don’t pray that my marriage should fail; but man proposes, God disposes. It might be my wish to have a car, while God intends for me to have a jet, and vice versa. What I am saying is that God knows best. I don’t want to believe that any married woman wishes that her marriage should fail; neither would any man marry with the intention of dissolving his marriage.

"I'm Not Ready For Marriage' - Flavour

 

In a new interview with Vanguard, highlife artist Flavour said he's single and not thinking of marriage

People will always talk and turn around stories. But I am still single because marriage is not my priority for now. I  still want to hit the top before thinking about marriage. It’s not yet time. I am still concentrating on my music.

Flavour also explains how he manages to stays away from controversy/scandal

I try to stay away from trouble. For instance, I don’t even  go to clubs. Any time I want to do something, I do it in the comfort of my house. I party inside my house. I do my  recording inside my house. When you start mingling and partying with everybody in different places that is where one or two things would start to emerge.

I’m either here in my house or in my second house on the Island. When you mingle much with people, at times you start trusting people that are not supposed to be trusted. You start having divided attention. You would take a picture and make joke with it and tomorrow it’s all over the newspapers and internet.

MY WIFE'S FAMILY IS NOT RICH, LET ALONE MY WIFE - AREMU AFOLAYAN SAYS

 

Actor and movie producer Aremu Afolayan has reacted to reports that he married his new wife because she's rich. Aremu got married quietly on Saturday December 7th in Abuja to a woman believed to be older than he is, but Aremu says he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him, his wife or their marriage. The actor said his wife is not as rich as people think and that contrary to reports, his wedding wasn't a secret and his famous older brother was at his wedding.

Aremu tells Saturday Punch

"People will always say what they want to say. I am not perturbed in any way. I don’t care. If I had married a top politician’s daughter, I am sure you will not be talking to me. My wife’s family is not rich let alone my wife. I got married to somebody I wanted to get married to and not because of her wealth. I don’t know why people say all they say."

“I wonder how anybody would say my marriage was secret. Some people went ahead to say that my brother (Kunle) was not at the wedding but he was there. Anyway, I am not ready for them. When I am ready, I will let you know,” he said.
