Actress Shola Shobowala(toyin tomato) finally addressed drug peddling rumours

A few years ago, news about popular actress, Shola Shobowale allegedly caught in America trying to smuggle drugs went viral. The story claimed she was languishing in a foreign prison at the time.

After years of keeping mum, the actress in an interview with Yes International has cleared the air on the allegation.

The actress said, she has never been arrested and that she has been away in America because of her children who are schooling there.

"I don't give a damn. Nothing. They said they have killed me in America and at a time in Saudi Arabia. They even said that my hands were cut off in Saudi Arabia before they killed me. 

They said i begged the Saudi Arabian authorities that they should please spare my life that i was an actress in Nigeria, but they refused my plea and cut off my head."

"When i got back to Nigeria after the story, everyone that saw me ran away from me because they thought i was really a ghost. 

They asked me, "Shola, but they said they have killed you?" I told them that i don't believe in abracadabra. That it was magic that i used. I told them i commanded the head to come back, because i was coming to Nigeria and the head got fixed. 

I came from England again sometime for a meeting at the National Theatre and a colleague of mine saw me and marveled. She said, "Shola, but they said you are in Holloway prison in England and i said yes! That those people recognized me and gave me a break to come home so that when I'm done here in Nigeria, i will go back to the prison in UK. She said i wasn't serious. She told me she heard that somebody came to Holloway prison and saw me there and that that person even spoke to me; that all i could do was just cry. She said it was that lady who came to Nigeria and told them."

"If i carried Cocaine and got imprisoned in Holloway, there is no way the UK government would have kept me in England till now. I would have been deported. So, i have never carried Cocaine and i have never been imprisoned. 

So, all they have said or written about me is none of my business, because it doesn't bother me one bit.

The first 2years of my marriage was full of fights because of my ego - Adaeze Yobo

Adaeze Yobo, wife of Super Eagles Skipper, Joseph Yobo recently took to her instagram page to reveal steps she took to make her marriage work.

Adaeze disclosed that she had to let go of her ego so her marriage which produced a cute 4-year-old son to survive.

She posted a photo and advice to ladies.

Captioning the photo she said;

"This reminded me so much of the first 2years of my marriage(when i had too much ego, it was all about me and what i deserve) I will always randomly have in mind that my husband should know "we gotta go out" I wld seat my ass down all the time and just get mad, i mean doesn't he know? I won't even tell him nonsense! It wasn't that i desperately wanted to go out cos most of the time, we did we had nothing to say to each other but my " I deserve mentality" my "after all, I'm the woman" "the queen" mentality, was my motivator factor.

"Just testing or calling my hubby to say "hey babe, there is this restaurant that makes the best prawns (his favs) let's casually go after your training was what i should have said but here is what i actually said for two years, "Joe(which is what i call him when i am mad) everybody went to that restaurant on that street and even last night this person's husband took her."

"Then he goes from 0-100 in like 2.2 secs and then my ego kicks in. (you don't want to know how fast i also went kuku) and no one ends up eating. I always said to the pple that i complain to, "How dare he? Just cos i want us to go out and have a nice dinner, don't i deserve it? Anyway, the moral of this long story is that when i changed from my " I deserve" mentality to "we deserve " slowly, the tables turned. Now he makes our date, plan calender for a month. I lost out on seeing that soft amazing person he is for the first 2years cos i was always ready to fire, after all he shd have read the manual before marriage."
