banke meshid looks real trim.thumbs girl
Happy Bday Lisa, but wait ooo, thout They said INI EDO was pregnant?

Love her skin, she’s glowing
One advice for nollywood actresses, next time u go for photo shoots or use make up artistes, observe and learn, what is ds thing of u girls only looking good wen u are used to model, u never make up right plus many even need fashion advisers, INI EDO take note especially and mercy johnson plus the rest!!!!!!!!!!!
Ini Edo’s outfit is disheartening ………….. *nowweeping*
Noo ooo It’s demoralizing. *gnashing teeth and rolling in ashes*. Kai!
LMAAAAOOOOO…I was wondering same..and that makeup..oh no!!
Even with my inexperienced make up eyes, I could see her make up as a total flop.
I love the first picture of Monalisa and her baby girl, its just uber cute.
her daughter is a cuteie and looks like her.

Ini Edo’s outfit is ….WTF? is she wearing? and what is on her head?
Desmond Elliot is always hanging out with the girls -_____- He must have more female friends than male friends.
