U took the words right out of my mouth.

*ahem* cough cough
*singing* *****this love is unbreakable****
am tired of seeing this uti’s look abeg,be varsatile,there are other clothes u can wear now,not this single button jacket all the time,hahh!
Uti has very poor taste in clothes. His clothes are almost always too tight, in random colours and with the the predictable 1-button jacket . His lack of style is starting to rub off on Alex..Where is that green shirt coming from biko?
Sorry, not green but orange. Still totally random though.
@Hi, you toook the words outta my mouth, LMAO, lets toast to a very budding relationship

nse finally clinched the award………….i knew her time would come

As for the organisers, what’s the sense behind “Best kiss in a Nigerian movie”?! Where in the world is that done?! It is good for u to begin a trend o, but bikonu, best kiss?! should actors compete in kissing in movies now?! Oma ga o!
nigerians are goingb gaga
Beefspotter n StacyB,
I would just like to tell you that I’m not in the entertainment industry. I dont even live in Nigeria, and I havent even visited in over 5years,just manage to keep up with these things, so stop pointing fingers at the wrong people
U guys need to tell these actors the truth sometimes. I gave him the commendation for jara cause,even though I have never watched the program,I hear its making waves in Nigeria n ofcourse BBA, i caught up with it online. Now tell me where the jealousy is coming from?
That ‘Broken silence’ movie is the worst Nigerian movie I’ve watched in a long time, failed attempt on Uti’s part(he should enroll in acting classes) the little boy is a star though, very brilliant actor.
This is my 2cents,stick to yours while I do same
best kiss, very funny
Passing By….Meanwhille, BN more pics pls. Not yet saturated
best kiss???? WTF
lol!
