“I’ll Take My Chances“, a new movie starring Ini Edo and Bryan Okwara premiered in Uyo this weekend.
The event created massive buzz in the “Land of Promise”! The stars come out in full force and the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio supported the event by hosting it at the Governor’s Banquet Hall in Uyo.
The movie was shot in Uyo, therefore the world premiere was hosted in the city to say “Thank You” for all the hospitality and support.

I second that!!
First time in history, I am impressed by them all. Effortlessly classy……
Ini is hawt! gene, monalisa looked fab too….niceeeee…..
Ini Edo looks fab, Love the black dress, Gene looks good too but she didint apply cream on her knee, Emem on point, Jumai and Monalisa Divalicious, Rukky sanda enough of this Club look, sigh**** beverly u re a fine girl, but what’s with dis jumpsuit? I don’t like the area of ur -, the jumpsuit just carved one,Oops*uche u re adding oh!!!I becareful. nonso,alex and all the guys looked delicious
@Kemi, jewelry in todays fashion is considered ‘busy’LESS is MORE! that said, did any one notice Ruky’s game? her skin glows plus her smile. every one rock jare!
@Natoday .. Your comment sounds very ignorant! I do know this is 2011 mate .. you didnt really need all that ranting.. yes , i love that their neck(s) was plain as they didnt need jewelry on their neck anyway.. but there is really no harm wearing at least sparkly studds or either a bracelet or a wristwatch! With particuclar emphasis on Ini, beautiful black shimmery dress, agreed.. i would either spark that dress up with abit of colour(pink, coral heels and purse) or i would pull her hair to the back, add abit of vavavoom (diamond studds) to show off her exceptional face and then complete that look with a bracelet
Cheers
I currently style Alexandra Burke here in the UK so i know my onions
@Kemi, you seem to be the one ranting here. you still want Ini to layer extra sparkling diamonds on top of her already jeweled gown, huh? Well done, now we understand why you are the one styling Alexandra burke, pshcewww. …Ini for once dressed appropriately for the occassion and they all looked nice. finish. Bella PLEASE post this comment.
Ini ȋ̊§ wearing long ear rings…check thrid τ̅☺ d last picture….
thanks for those detailed explanation. but i insist on LESS = MORE. who cares who u style?
did brian wear his shoes w/out a pair of socks??abi is dat not his yellow legs i’m seeing?? Genevieve,Monalisa,ini….very classy….carry go jare!!!!
Genevieve and Beverly…so beuriful, did anyone notice gene’s rocking her natural hair? Rukky sanda try sha, at least compared to how we’ve known her
Very lovely! They look FAB.. great job Ini. I cant wait for the movie!
They are all looking spectacular.luv monalisa’s look,kip it up girl
Emem Isong…wow!
isn’t wow the pc for heck nah?
HAHA!!! I was wondering the same thing – “wow” because it’s a good look or because it’s not?
please oooooo what is always wrong with this rukky sanda girl sef ..always feeling among..i have never seen any good movie which she has acted in..rukky pls go and sit down somwere or step up ur game ok.stop doing ATTACHE!!!gene n in,FABULOUSITY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT..#mwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I feel Ini Edo stole the show, she looks like a goddess…just amazing!!!!!
Uche Jombo,
you look stunning!!!
who said fabulous is 3 words, is there a division of words now?
they are all looking FAB. i love the guys especially Nonso Diobi
BOTH THE GIRLS AND GUYS LOOK (WITHOUT MINCING WORDS)ABSOLUTELY SCINTILATING. BUT WHO SAYS INI STOLE THE SHOW, GENNY IS JUST FAB
Gene just proved dat u must’nt wear brazilian hair to look fab, beauty is skin deep. Uche is really adding, but shez got one hell of an hour glass figure in dat dress. I love mona’s looks too.
they all look niceeee! except rukky ofcos
but seriously y dint ini at least wear a wrist watch?? ahn ahn… @kemi…..i 2nd the @least diamond studs/bracelet
wrist watch with a gown, is a no no
Ini this is beautiful. No crazy make up, no crazy hair style/colour. Just simple and beautiful. We like to see you more like this.
I guess dat 1st picture took Ruky unawares dats y she forgot to pout,but in subsequent pictures she forced d pout…smh.gene luks gud as always,simple n sweet
Ini you follow! Uche you are it! Nonso yummy as ever! Now Genevieve make i no lie, if to say you no be Genevieve i for no gree for you dress jo! It looks to me like you did not jack up as much as your colleagues!
lol the person prolly meant 3 syllables
GENE,,,FABULOSITY,,,,,WELL DONE TO THE EST
Genevieve & MonaLisa – tres chic… Mona Lisa u r glowing, nice one. Love the clean lines on Uche too – hair & mininalist look she has going on – real nice. Would have loved to know who Gene was wearing and Mona’s stylist…
@ vanessa, i agree with you. Rukky needs to start acting and step up her game so we can acknowledge her as an actress she’s meant to be.All she does for now is attache,pouting and taking pictures about.
All on point minus rukky….
Loved ini’s dress but her hair was just not “the business”. If you’re going to wear hair straight, wear it pin straight like morticia adams. Uyo’s humidity got to the ends of her hair before she got to the show.
Uche and Monalisa get the most improved style award from me. Haba those women no dey carry last anymore.
Emem just no! Dallas the show called and whats its wardrobe prop back.
Rukky Sanda, for such a petite girl why so much hair? and the shoe is not your size if your feet go over in the front.
Ini looks so young since the weight loss. I really love Gene, but something been off with her for a while and I really can’t put my finger on it, may be the makeup choice, or she dabbling in botox, or got work done.
Genny just aging that’s all. nothing wrong with that but she has just aged. she needs to consider fillers considering the business she is in is all about image/looks
Ini givin us her inner morticia, well done everytin on point, first time i̶̲̥̅̊’m dis impressed by her, i̶̲̥̅̊ tink she’s got a new glam squad+ i̶̲̥̅̊ agree wif dat stylist? A lil bracelet here nd there wld do on d ladies,as 4 d alexander burke stuff…pls take several seats _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ like whu cares, dnt tink dat flob hv made any red carpet appearances since she won on dat show.
GENE! hair- check, make up-check, shoes -check, dress double check need i̶̲̥̅̊ say more? Yes, effortlessly chic nd classy…
EMEM?- pls hire me 4 free even to avoid all of these disasters…this is 80′s besides U̶̲̥̅̊r not effie white in Dreamgirls…bad!
Jamai nice dress
Rukky rukky rukky everibody is talkin abt U̶̲̥̅̊ nd its none has anyfin good, loose that hair nd those shoes, infact cover shoes wld b beta 4 those toes + ppls legs r lighter than their face urs is d opposite, apply more cream to that leg or cover it up,ok?
Uche i̶̲̥̅̊ nEed to c an earring nd U̶̲̥̅̊я good 2go,
Naya…wats wif d shoe, like seriously U̶̲̥̅̊ had noffin else to wear?
Singin *Monalisa monalisa* i̶̲̥̅̊’d say leavin U̶̲̥̅̊я husband ws a good decision, lookin younger nd glowin radiantly, plus U̶̲̥̅̊ really went and up U̶̲̥̅̊я style,,,kudos
The guys all look fab, uti hv seen that jacket b4, i̶̲̥̅̊ hope its not wat m tinkin…
In all dis red carpet ws pleasant, every stepd up, even emem tried hard, even tho this is not “chicago”…..
Na wah ooooooo Ramsey Nouah is sugarrrr sexyyynesssss tooo fine!!!!!<3<3

Genny luks gud but old age too dont deceive us o. Every1 is looking gud. This is just the best i’ve seen. Kudos to ini edo and emem isong. And d movie trailer is fantastic see dance ini too much for dance.

Best movie premier eva, all ladies are gorgeous.the guys r sexy. Nonso am tripping! i knew uti most be there. i dnt even know what he does, or only to appear on red carpet is his job. I’m ignorant abt him, if anybody can enlighten me.. dat will be cool. what is uti job? Bn abeg post mi comment
He is a showbiz impresario
he obviously has not finished spending the money he won from BB.
thanks for the enlightenment
Every 1 lukin fab but Ini sud av told her hubby not to wear dem shoes………….
dis is d best ini has looked in all her life as an actress….simply stunning, monalisa is also ryt on point wit dat outfit….d rest were not lookin bad too but ini n lisa were my best…really the best red carpet i hav seen for as long as i can remember.
Dear Ini, thank u for listening!!!! For once, u pulled it off! Love the dress but yea just one more jewelry (a bracelet) would ve awarded u an A+ instead of an A-! But overall, u look amazing!
Dear Ms. Genny, on point as usual…u never go wrong!
Grade: A+
Dear Monalisa, love, love, love the dress! and that necklace looks great on you!
Grade: A-
Dear Emem, love ur movies, HATE THE DRESS!…always a total fail for me!
Grade: F
Overall, event looked great sha! Good job Ini!
Am I the only one completely in love with Monalisa’s looks these days! Way to play up your beauty and keep it fresh yet disarmingly youthful! LOVES IT! I think Gene’s make up is too dark and the hairdo ages her gorgeousness otherwise she’s omalicha representing as always. Good look on you Ini!
Alex Ekubo boy creeps me out every time I see him. A man should not be that skinny and piororo a.k.a long it looks unnatural IMO! He’d make a good alien tho!!
RMD, my dapper, smexy husband in another life! Nna chop knuckles bo! You make the 50s absolutely fabulous!
Ramsey Nouah is fine as hell, just looking so sweet!!
Ini Edo husband Philip beings the best out of her, i can tell he makes her very happy.
O.K this is for Rukky Sanda,
when your toes are hitting the floor that is a clear indication that the shoe does not fit, one more tip, to these kinds of faction one has wear appropriate attire.
they all look stunning especially my Uche, Genevieve beautiful as ever, Ini never dissapoint but d problem is she looks a bit far away from her husband frm the pic… pls u guys must make it work..no divoice abey ooo. And Uche wish u the very best.
RMD! Priceless! Much luv!
Nollywood people starting to look like they should!
Stop hating on emem isong pple! Its usually a challenge for plus size peeps to go glam without hanging out all over d place! i admire her jor
Oh iniiiiiiiiiii,u look goodttt
wow….this wat i call glam 360!!!
Monalisa- nice appearance, Geneviv- nice outfit,RMD’s – outfit looks illfitting; somewhat over his size
Rukky sanda needs to start acting movies! i wonder where she gets money to do all this red carpet drama.
they all look fab…………….Gene, u dont disappoint
http://lucianochinwe.blogspot.com/
you are all looking good…………….kudos to u all
Not gonna talk too much buh am shoutinnng>> Genny and Ramsey.. Looking blooody haute. Love em both..
Genny is just 32 u guys are sounding like she is already 62. Like u r more beautiful even at 20 u r. Abeg free the girl she luks great and more than classy than rukky ,ini,uche ,mona ,omosexy and the rest combined. Stop hating , see halle berry at 42 hollywood is till hailing as sexy hear u guys r criticising ur own. Bunch of nut case
God bless you! My thoughts exactly. I mean I understand that the average life expectancy in Nigeria is low in comparison to advanced societies but is it that low that those born in the late 70s are already seen as old? I mean, what then do we call our parents generation who were born between the late forties and mid fifties? Nigerians are the only human beings I know of that consider young women in their prime who are in their late twenties to mid thirties as old. I guess it is the very low Nigerian life expectancy rate that is to blame. Na una know sha. Bella kindly post my comment please.
abeg hopld pole! who pos more sexy than Omotola? at 32 with 4 kiddos, ill def still pick an omosexy over all of them ! dont even go there!
Okay and again is it just me or does Genny look like kim kardashian, which is nicely done
Why was RMD looking so short? http://www.onaturals.blogspot.com
Lol, its the first time i’d come on here and see someone on an ego trip. I like that Genny had her hair up and kept the jewelry to a minimum, it helped bring her striking features into focus. Esp with the dewy make-up…. The others dint really impress thoogh.
oh my! what’s a post on fashion or celebs without the vitriol?
the all look really good though. The ladies especially
All boys should please park somewhere!! RMD is in the building!!
This might sound completely ignorant but what the hell is Rukky Sanda famous for? I see her everywhere but I don’t know what she does
Wow! In d history of nigeria every1 luks splendid. Oh my goddess ini edo looks so classy and gorgeous with her husband. Genny luks gud too infact everyone. The trailer was mind-blowing. See ini doing d sasal wonderful. Best movie.
If there is one thing BN commenters have done, it is to make sure these celebs always bring their A-game LOL. BN Commenters behold the fruits of your labor. LWKMD!
Everyone is looking good A+ all around.
Gene looks very nice and classy. Just because she pulled her hair up doesn’t mean it’s all hers. #justsaying
Is it just mE or dint anyone see RMD’s jeans?like seriously?Emem isong’s gown is an inch too short.Gene totally rocked iti
Wots all the noise wiv Genevieve from some of you here?She just looks okay……Ini Edo looks a million times hotter than Genevieve as far as these pics are concerned!
@tee, I disagree. They all stepped up their game, though.
ini and her husband, sweet couple. i love her dress too. she looks take away! and Monalisa’s skin is forever glowing….such a beauty
please why have you not paste my comment?

Rukky Sanda,
it is important to dress appropriately to certain occasions..one more tip, when your toes are hitting the floor that means the shoe does not fit.
