Bella Naija Hottest Bachelorettes in Entertainment – 2009
Posted on Wednesday, August 12th, 2009 at 10:32 pmBy Bella
Whenever we see articles on single women in the Nigerian Entertainment industry, their single status is usually portrayed negatively. As though the women have committed a crime by not being married. In the vast majority of interviews, you see questions such as ‘When are you getting married?’ and ‘Why are you not married?’ then statements like ‘At your age. most of your mates are married’ or the ‘30 year old SPINSTER’ then come the rumours almost every week on how this actress is involved with a married man or fighting a colleague for the attentions of a suitor or some other ridiculous scenario.
Well, Bella Naija will love to celebrate our favorite women in Nigerian Entertainment who are doing fantastic and commendable things for themselves! Bella Naija presents Nigeria’s HOTTEST Bachelorettes in Entertainment right now. These women are single (for the purpose of this article – that means not engaged or married), fabulous and are at the top (or rising to the top) in their chosen professions.

Not many actresses can deliver a role with the conviction that Dakore Egbuson can. Her fans have been missing her on the big screen lately but she can heard on the radio in ads for Amstel Malta. She is also working on a TV and music career. Good luck Dakore!________________________________________________________________________________
Isio Wanogho’s star is definitely rising! This Creative Arts graduate of the University of Lagos was one of the most successful locally based models in Nigeria. Now she is focusing on her career as a TV personality on Spice TV as well as developing a new clothing line De-laVega.________________________________________________________________________________
You know her as the cantankerous wife of Ramsey Noah’s character in the blockbuster Nollywood movie – Reloaded. She was outstanding in that role but there is much more to Nse Ikpe Etim – she is no one hit wonder – her performance in her forthcoming movies will blow you away plus she is an accomplished scriptwriter.________________________________________________________________________________
Rapper Kel is taking on a genre dominated by men and she is doing more than holding her own. Anyone who has heard her on tracks alongside accomplished male rappers will have to admit that she is bold! Kel recently scooped the SMVA for Discovery of the Year and will be releasing her debut album – The Investment soon.________________________________________________________________________________
Stephanie Okereke is outstanding! Everyone knows how hard a breakup can be, just imagine a public breakup and then a serious road accident. Being the trooper that she is, Stephanie bounced back in style! She has won various international awards for her charity work and produced her first feature film.________________________________________________________________________________
Sasha can be referred to as a pioneer – during her time in the music industry, she has broken many boundaries and proven that you do not have to be one of the boys to do rap. At a time when female rappers had to blend in and hide anything that highlighted their femininity, Sasha bucked the trend and did things her way. Her 2nd album is in the works and will be released soon – buzz single ‘Gidi Babe’ explored social issues and got a strong response from fans and media.________________________________________________________________________________
Linda Ikeji’s legion of online fans see her as a sister, confidante and role model. Ex-model, blogger and entrepreneur is not afraid to share her vulnerabilities and thoughts on her blog. Juggling a popular blog, clothing line, modelling agency and magazine is hard work but Linda makes it look easy.

If there ever was a Nigerian Cinderella story, this is it! Mercy Johnson sold pure water on the street of Lagos before getting her big break. According to Mercy, she attended auditions in torn clothes before finally getting her breakthrough. While many might focus on her provocative clothing, there is much more to Mercy. She spends a large percentage of her income on charity initiatives and her story has inspired many to believe that indeed – yes they can.________________________________________________________________________________

TV Personality Dorisha George has been on Nigerian TV for over a year via HipOnTV. Dorisha has inspired many young ladies to pursue a career in TV presenting and continues to build her fanbase.________________________________________________________________________________
We absolutely love feisty Omawumi! She is uber confident, extremely talented and not afraid to speak her mind. With the success of her first single ‘In the Music’, her awards scoop at the HipHop World Awards, we cannot wait for her debut album to drop.________________________________________________________________________________
Rita Dominic is no longer just an actress – she is a budding brand! Rita has been in the Nollywood industry for over a decade and yet she remains fresh and relevant. Rita is one of Globacom’s Nollywood ambassadors, she was chosen by MNet to visit Malawi and remains one of the best loved Nollywood actresses.________________________________________________________________________________
Beautiful and talented Funke Akindele is such a talented actress, producer and screenwriter – this is evidenced by the fact that she was the driving force behind the JENIFA phenomenon. Funke is now enjoying the fruits of her labour – a massive fanbase and financial success. We cant wait to see what Funke cooks up next

Who is Nse Ikpe Etim? or Dorisha George? Na so
I agree with Dapo. That sweet girl Omowunmi is not here, thats strange. I live in Norway yet i hear so much about her. Want her to hook up with my brother.lol Please Omowunmi if you read this. My brother loves you oh, he found you on face book but you have not accepted his request. Heard she’s the hottest scandal free Queen in Nigeria now.
Bella i also love the style tingy u did on her.
JESS GET OFF UCHE JOMBO/ IKECHUKWU UCHE CASE HERE PLEASE. THIS POST IS ABOUT SINGLE CELEBS, DON’T TURN IT TO “CATCH TWO CELEBS DATING AND LYING” NO BODY HERE GIVES A RAT ASS WHO IS DATING WHO OK. i am sure busybodies like you make these people hide and protect their you know what. back off and discuse others, jombo is not the only celeb here you think you know who they are dating.
i believe once u r not hooked u can be here.yeah heard about jombo n ikechukwu uche but since she is still single she can be here d same goes to dakore
[miss her in movies] heard her bobo said no to movies.
Yeah i have missed Dakore alot. Gurl where art thou? i wish these sweethearts find their loves and get happily married just as in their movies.
yes, i think she should stop lying abt their relationship. i mean they are cute together, saw them together last month in lagos.i don’t know why two hard working people can’t admit or be proud of their relationship expect if she and ike uche know what we don’t know like the the end from the beginging simple meaning the both know nothing can come out of it so why not lie or not talk about it. so with all due respect i think UCHE JOMBO need to be on this list
That Isio chick is stunningly gorgeous and so polished looking. If more women like her competed for mbgn, Nigeria would have a real chance of winning internationally or at least placing. Instead, year after year we trot out village champions (I don’t want to call names) and wonder why Nigeria doesn’t even place.
Stephanie definitely belongs on the hot list. Her whole package especially that body is so on point. Love her skin tone.
Genny is very pretty, but one story I heard about what she did at someone’s house in US did not sound so pretty, but it could just be gossip meant to destroy her.
Dakore is also very pretty. Very nice facial features and body.
The rest of the ladies are hot too, but Isio, Steph, Genny, and Dakore are the ones that stand out to me.
It’s funny that someone mentioned my girl Genny should be getting off these lists….ehm…isn’t she perhaps the youngest amongst the lot??
Even her colleagues are older than her, for instance Rita is what..35? Hellooo!!!
Lol!!!!!!!!! True….true…TRUTH!!! ROTFLMOA!!!!
My dear that’s what we have to deal with on the web oh!!. Lol!!!
Bella there is no pleasing these frustrated readers living in the diaspora. They are so frustrated with their lives and their comments reveal same. What a bunch of haters visiting this site these days
The list specifically said Bachelorettes in ENTERTAINMENT, I don’t know why a commentator is complaining that the list should be diversified and include lawyers, doctors etc. If the list was about bachelorettes in Nigeria as a whole then this complaints has reason to surface.
To all the ladies on the list who are probably not going to read this anyway, continue to focus on your various passions, living your life fully and when the time comes to meet the right person, you will. God’s time is the best, not to pull out this old cliche but it is true. It is better that you are single and happy than to be in a mean spirited relationship that does absolutely nothing for your growth on a spiritual, mental and emotional level. Tell those with their “why aren’t you married yet?” pressure to go crawl into a dark hole because fact is if you look into their marriages, they have nothing going on except the misery they would gladly share with you.
Keep up the good works.
