I'M NOT INTIMIDATED BY WIZKID'S SUCCESS--DAVIDO

For a long time, there have been comparism between two young Nigerian star singers, Davido and Wizkid.

The battle of who is more successful than the other has always generated heated arguments between the fans of both talented pop superstars.

Speaking with Punch newspaper recently in an interview, Davido claimed he is not scared or intimidated by the what his 'competitor' has achieved in the music industry.

According to him, "I see nobody as competition or threat [to me]. God is behind me, so I just go into the studio, do my music and everything is fine. I develop and write most of my songs in the studio.

"I’m not afraid of competition or the fact that some person will just appear on the scene and take the shine. After all, I did it to some people, so I expect that it is something that must happen to everyone because you can’t be shining forever. But once you are good to others, make good music, have loyal fans, that’s all that matters."

GLORIA: I’M BEING SEXUALLY HARRASSED

Nana Ama is a con girl and a flirt who is always exploiting her beauty to lure men in the popular TV series Efiewura.
That role, well played out by Gloria Osei Sarfo in the series for the past six years, is rather rubbing badly on her real life character.

Unfortunately, many men have misconstrued that acting role as her real life character and she has become the target of men who harrass her with incessant sexual advances.

Gloria who shot to fame through Efiewura said that has been the bitter pill she has to swallow for being in the limelight but she has always overcome these “juicy offers” from the men because she doesn’t want to compromise on her Christian doctrines.

“I have had to endure a lot of temptations especially “juicy” offers from men. Some men read different meanings into what I do as an actress. They think I am that bad girl they watch on TV and in movies so even if I tell them it is just a role play, they assume I am just playing hard to get and just wouldn’t take no for an answer”, she told Showbiz last Friday.

Coming from a strong Christian family background, Gloria says she has strived not to put her family’s name in disrepute especially her mother who is the branch pastor at City Temple International Church in Accra.

“I am a staunch Christian and my religious beliefs have always been a guide in my career. I know it will be difficult for people to accept that Gloria is a good girl but that is me. What I do is just a job and I have to deliver well to the satisfaction of my producers and directors but most people do not understand it that way.

“They just want to judge me based on what they see me do on TV, but for me it only shows that I am doing something right”, she added.

She had her stint in the movie industry a decade ago when she featured in My Mother’s Heart but it was her appearance in Efiewura that shot her into the limelight.

Aside Efiewura, Gloria plays the lead role in another TV series, Living with Trishia on Viasat 1 a programme she said has “helped to revive and upgrade me. Many people thought that I couldn’t speak English because of Efiewura.

Away from her acting career, she talked of her love life and hinted that wedding bells will soon ring as plans are far advansed for that “special day”.

Gloria who is in her late 20s has featured in movies like Frema, Most Wanted Girls, Makochem, Odansefuo Ne Wan, Sweet Mother and her latest Sika which is yet to be released.

PRINCE DAVID ‘SHUTS UP’ YVONNE NELSON OVER PREZ MAHAMA

Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson is being hailed from certain quarters for not only being a beautiful actress but for showing empathy to Ghanaians in the face of these bad economic times that Ghana and Ghanaians are experiencing now. Last Friday, November 1, she tweeted via her Twitter handle @Yvonnenelsongh to the official Twitter handle of the President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama @JDMahama that as the first man on the land, he should ‘do something’ about the plight of Ghanaians, who are ‘suffering’. “Mr President. Ghanaians are suffering. The people of Ghana are SUFFERING. #fuel #electricity #water plsdosomething! Thank you,” she tweeted. The president has not responded to Miss Nelson's tweet/concern as a quick check on his timeline indicates that, his last tweet was on October 15 and was a congratulatory message to the gallant Black Stars team that humiliated the Pharaohs of Egypt by six goals to one in the first leg of the final qualifying matches to the World Cup in Brazil next year. Commenting on the actress’ tweet, actor Prince David Osei said, “It's good she tweeted that, which other ways, its bringing some kind of awareness and letting the president know that, people like us also care about how the country goes.” He, however, conceded that the whole world is going through that bad economic face. “... I think it's a global thing because the American government is even going down, so generally it's not about [President] Mahama but he just got into office and as he rightly said the other time on TV, when you start a car, you move to the first gear, you move to the second, it then accelerate further. So I think Mahama is in the right direction.” “Rome was not built in a day. I believe we all need to sacrifice and endure for some time and hopefully next year will be very great. It's not wrong that, she's shown concern that Ghanaians are suffering. Literally we are suffering with the frustration of fuel prices, electricity tariffs being increased by almost 80%, it’s not been easy for the layman but all the same, it's a global thing.”

YVONNE NELSON WANTED MARRIAGE

The story of Iyanya and the Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson is not something that will be forgotten easily.

News says the sexy actress parted ways with rave of the moment artiste, Iyanya when she told him about marriage and the young talent declined.

"Yvonne wanted to take her relationship with Iyanya to the next level but they weren’t on the same page. In fact, I have spoken to a source who told me that Yvonne actually told Iyanya she wanted marriage, but his reactions shocked her. Yvonne sat down and told Iyanya that she wanted to get even more serious and take the next steps in their relationship."

Yvonne was said to have told him that she wanted to have him as hubby and but he wasn’t keen on the idea because he felt it's too early to talk about those things.

“She told him she loved him and would love him forever,” the source stated.

The source goes on to explain why Yvonne was so hurt: “When a lady tell you she loves you and wants to be serious with you and start a real life with you and maybe even have you as husband, you turn her down. That’s all bad. Like game over.” 

SOME PEOPLE WANT ME DEAD

Scary reports started spreading yesterday morning that reigning Actor of the Year Van Vicker was involved in a life threatening accident on his way to church on Sunday.

“Gollywood/Nollywood actor Van Vicker had a very terrible accident this morning on his way to church. He’s suffering from internal bleeding gushing out through the mouth, the doctors said he may lose his life but we do not agree. Let us pray; O Lord we join hands today and decree that you save his life today, we believe that you can heal him in the mighty name of Jesus. Please type ‘Amen’ if you wish him quick recovery”, was the report put out on a facebook page belonging to the name ‘Nadia Buari’.

The page, that has over 6400 followers, has the photos of Ghanaian actress Nadia Buari and says it is the “The ONLY official Facebook page of award winning African movie star, Nadia Buari.”

Fans of Van Vicker who saw the post started praying for him and wishing him a speedy recovery throughout the day while the report continued to spread fast on social media.

Some of them even called NEWS-ONE to verify the report, prompting the paper to place a phone call to Van Vicker’s phone to find out his condition.

“These people have speculated my death more than 10 times. I do not know what they want but it could be they just want me dead. They can’t kill me. I am not even in the country so how can anyone say I had an accident on my way to church this morning. Chief, just relax and take it easy. I am fine and very healthy. There is nothing happening to me,” Van Vicker told NEWS-ONE.

The actor later took to his facebook page to further address the issue by writing: “There is a post on an imposter’s page that I had an accident this morning on my way to church and I might die from bleeding. It is a rumour and a stunt to drive traffic to that page. I am well and in great health. Jehovah dey by my side. Stay Eeasy.”

Though the said page is strongly suspected to be a fake ‘Nadia Buari’, it has the exact details of the famous actress.This is how it describes the owner of the page: “My life tells a long story short of an apt and adventurous actress of Africa, born into the family of art…Born in Takoradi in the Western Region of Ghana, I am the daughter of Alhaji and Hajia Sidiku Buari. My father is a very huge figure in the Industry of Art in Ghana, holding several positions including that of being the president of the Musicians Union of Ghana. His leaderships extend beyond the boundaries of Ghana into the international world where he holds very key positions such as the Vice President of International Federation of Musicians. Also as a successful producer, director, musician and actor, his influence in my life is obvious and evident in my present career as an actress.

“My mother, who is a beautician on the other hand, has been the secret behind my looks since childhood. As the first child of the family, I have always pushed to desire the accomplishment of Herculean tasks, a tendency that makes me an inspiration to both my siblings and friends and more especially, to children who I love and who look up to me as someone to learn from while I also consider them as my best friends to learn from…”

The Ghanaian actress has, however, not made any public comment on the incident.
