The Nigerian entertainment industry is waxing stronger
everyday with notable faces making waves. But many of these
personalities are yet to say ‘I Do’. Is it because of the current
issues of divorce bedeviling the industry, that some are finding
it difficult to get married? Here are the notable faces who are
yet to say ‘Yes, I do’ and even when they do, one might not
even know since it can be done secretly.
Money is not the problem, but the problem is who to marry...
As a celebrity, you are faced with challenges of finding the
right one to hook you up because of the temptation one faces
everyday. But for these celebrities, they are just one of those
things in the industry and don’t care if one speaks ill about
them or not because that’s what makes them.
Though, some like Omawumi who was reported to have
molested a photo journalist recently, the truth is what
prompted that? Because in a recent interview, the sonorous
musician stated that people are nosing too much on her
personal life and she detests it. So, who and what are they in
relationship with?
Why are they not married even as they are getting older?
Though some have children others are yet to ponder for one or
so it seems. Here are six out of the numerous celebrities that
have never said “I Do” and might take longer to do so.
D’banj
Since the Kokomaster, D’banj, made a public confession that
he’s still single and looking for a good woman to make his
wife, our source reliably gathered that actress Genevieve
Nnaji has been making frantic efforts to get back into the arms
of the super star.
According to an insider in D’banj’s camp, Genevieve and
D’banj never really had a quarrel but that she was complaining
too much because of the many ladies around him. D’banj, he
said, got tired of her drama and simply ignored her. Now she
wants to come back by all means...Genny just clocked 34 and
it’s obvious she can’t just settle with any guy from the street
corner; her man has to be someone with some level of ‘class’.
It was gathered that she made contacts with D’banj at least
three times in the last days of April but D’banj is still having
some reservations.
One of his concerns, the source told us, is that
Genny is too nosy and always wants to know everything going
on. D’banj is the cool type who doesn’t like talking too much.
So, will the Kokomaster still settle down with Genny or will he
still continue to dance the “Koko” while waiting for the right
woman?
Rita Dominic
This member of the Royal Waturuocha family of Aborh Mbaise
local government area of Imo State just marked her 38th
birthday. She is the youngest of four siblings. She holds a
Bachelors Degree in Theatre Arts (1999) and starred in over
100 Nollywood productions. She won the City People Awards
in 2004 as the Most Outstanding Actress. And had been
rumoured to have dated Jim Iyke and some few notable faces.
She has achieved everything that a woman should achieve but
has not been hooked-up by anyone yet. Maybe, she doesn’t
want to be seen as one of those break-ups in the industry or
she feels she could take care of herself. But as an African
woman, the right thing to do is to get hooked-up by a man.
But how soon?
Genevieve Nnaji
In a recent picture, Genevieve Nnaji steps out with her 15 year
old daughter, Chimebuka at a private event in a very rare
scenario. Reports say Chimebuka lived with her parents for
years, but ‘has a solid relationship’ with her mother. No one
Knows who her father is, and she will not say, in spite of
lingering speculations and interests. Nnaji is from Imo State,
but grew up in Lagos, Nigeria. She is the fourth of eight
children and was brought up in a middle class environment.
While at the university, Genevieve began auditioning for acting
jobs amongst the many Nollywood projects. She has been a
single mother even when she was rumoured to be dating
D’banj. But on the contrary, she is still waxing stronger and
making ‘big cash’ on endorsement and movies. Would she
ever get married as a single mother? Time will tell!
Waje
When the news broke that Waje was dating MI, she was not
quick to rebuff it as she said in an interview with
Entertainment Express “There is nothing to say about it really.
We first met when I was in Enugu and he came for a show.
When we met in Lagos, we hooked up and we have been
doing stuffs together musically”. The word stuff might also
mean something else aside the music business. “He is
somebody who is very passionate about his music and I like
him for that.
“I think it’s just what you media guys started. We are just
friends, and maybe, you guys wanted a Nigerian version of
Jay Z and Beyonce, so they just hooked us up by themselves.
“Even if we are dating, is it something I would tell the world?”
She asked. So, if MI is dating a single mother like Waje and
both profess love for each other, why not do the right thing
and get married? Well, we hope to see the end.
Omawumi
Though her fans love her voice and are crazy about her, she’s
a single mother and some could not hide their curiosity over
the father of her baby.
In an interview with Thisday Entertainment contributor,
SeunApara, she said that her child’s paternity is not hidden
and would do everything to protect her family.
“I never hid my child’s paternity but I felt that since I’m not
married, I don’t need to come out and say this is the father of
my child. It is always ideal for someone who wants to marry
you to be the one to identify himself. Another thing is that he
might not want to identify himself because he is not an artiste.
He might not want that part of my life. He might just love me
and my child. So I like to respect people’s privacy.
“My family and my close friends know who the father of my
child is because we’re in a relationship. We have a very
healthy relationship and our families are intertwined. I don’t
think I need to start telling people all this.
“I feel so bad about the stories people are writing about my
child’s paternity because normally, controversies don’t get to
me and my daughter doesn’t have to be part of this. So, when
people start putting that kind of stuff in prints and my
daughter stumbles on it when she is old enough to read, it will
hurt her.
Jim Iyke
This young energetic movie star, musician and business man
sees nothing wrong with a Nigerian woman kissing and loving
up other men in a movie. He is also a man full of controversy
with numerous ladies lining up as if going for a pageant. There
was a time it was rumoured that the actor is getting married to
his Jamaican Fiancee, Keturah Hamilton, and until now,
nothing had been heard.
He and Ghanaian actress, Nadia Buari are now rumoured to
be dating and some fans have been asking why don’t they get
married? Will he get married soon or continue his ‘bad boy’
role as he said “no vacancy.”
