I begged for Food on Streets of London

Nigerian-born radio presenter at Sky UK and Ireland, Ms. Abike Ade, in this interview with ADEMOLA OLONILUA speaks on her acting career, broadcasting, her late husband and other issues

How has it been working as a broadcaster in the United Kingdom?

It’s been very very challenging.


How challenging? What kind of stress you go through?

The challenges vary. It starts from building one’s image, keeping it up and getting better and better on a daily basis.

So, have you been able to build your image to a level you are satisfied with?

The stress starts from meeting up with the required standard from fans, individuals and at the same time keeping with my duties as a mother. I continue to work on my image as one is never satisfied. I strive to continue climbing until I reach my best. My best is yet to come.

How did you come up with the idea of presenting a Yoruba programme in London? How has the acceptance level been?

Tonto Dikeh May Get 15 Years Jail Term Over Marijuana Picture


Controversial actress, Tonto Dikeh may have landed herself into trouble following the picture of wrapped marijuana she posted online few days ago by the actress, which she admitted to be taking. This is because the NDLEA has vowed to take up the case on her.


Speaking with Punch newspaper on the matter, spokesman of the anti-drug agency, Mitchell Ofoyeju disclosed that the matter had been referred to the appropriate department to investigate it.

NDLEA said, “our attention has been drawn to the post, quite frankly and I can tell you that action will be taken on it. The law is clear on the issue. No one is permitted to sell, use, cultivate or encourage the use of Indian hemp in Nigeria. The weed is one of the banned narcotics in the country.”

Is this a case of ‘dog dey sleep, fowl go wake am?

The final verdict: Behold the 25 women to go the distance!

It has been a gruelling six weeks of twists and turns, intrigues and suspense, and finally the people have spoken and we have our women selected to stand the test for this year’s Sexiest in Nollywood ‘Quest’.
Vanguard has had no hands in the selection process except in compilation of votes which have been sent in. If truly beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, then the readers who have come up with these 25 remarkable women in Nollywood have got their task spot on.


Behold the twenty five that will go to the distance are Colette Orji, Uche Jombo, Ebube Nwagbo, Anita Joseph, Queeneth Hilbert, Queen Nwokoye, Rita Dominic, Biodun Okewo, Stephanie Okereke, Jackie Appiah, Tonto Dikeh, Nadia Buari, Yvonne Nelson, Uche Iwuji, Maureen Cyril, Cynthia Agholor, Yvonne Okoro, Nuella Njubigbo, Amanda Ebeye
Ejiro Okurame, Chika Agatha, Angela Okorie, Chitta Agwu, Damilola Adegbite and Tope Osoba
As it was made clear from the beginning of the ‘quest’: every man and woman who acts in Nollywood has eligibility to be voted, with exception of only those stars who have been past winners of the quest.
It would be recalled that Genevieve Nnaji and Jim Iyke won the maiden edition in 2009 as the Sexiest Woman and Sexiest Man respectively. In 2010, the stakes got higher and we had several categories included in the ‘Quest’. Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde and Desmond Elliot emerged the Sexiest man and woman respectively for 2010.
Other winners who emerged from the categories include Mercy Johnson, Chioma Chukwuka- Akpotha, Chidi Mokeme, Yemi Blaq, Nonso Diobi, RMD, Ini Edo, Emeka Ike and Chike Ike. All these people are not eligible to participate in this year’s edition.
