One thing very common among the female folks is malice keeping. It
sometimes gets worse when two females are getting media attention in the
razzmatazz world, where jealousy comes in due to the inherent competition that
has become a common occurrence amongst them.
With this in mind, one cannot quickly forget the longtime perceived
enmity between two sensational actresses, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and Genevieve
Nnaji, which was only reportedly settled by the current boss of Actors Guild of
Nigeria (AGN), Ibinabo Fiberesima.
In the Nigerian entertainment industry today, beefs are very common in
the movie industry. But can it be reduced or stemmed? It is a big question that
no one can give a definite answer to. The Tonto Dikeh/Mercy Johnson rivalry is
still proving to be a rock of Gibraltar that cannot be removed.
Some days ago, two of Ghana’s biggest movie stars; Juliet Ibrahim and
Yvonne Nelson were in Lagos for an event, which attracted many celebrities. One
would have expected that both stars would get along but alas, such was never
the case as they both avoided each other.
Juliet arrived the occasion first with a friend, while Yvonne stormed
the show with a male friend, who at a time, acted like her bouncer when some
touts outside wanted the beautiful chic to part with some money.
What surprised yours truly is that after Yvonne received her award, she
passed in front of Juliet without looking at her side. Even when she stood
close to Juliet, while posing for a photograph, she shunned the light-skinned
actress, who sources said is a former girlfriend of popular musician, Iyanya
Mbuk.
It got to a point that popular MC, Bisi Atanda aka Madam Kofo tapped
Juliet to take pictures with Yvonne, but she (Juliet) did not bulge, and the
woman with airplane-like headgear understood and she didn’t disturb Juliet further.
We just hope a man isn’t the problem between the two ladies.
