'I Worked Hard And Deserved Every Bit Of The Luxury I Enjoyed' -Actress Chika Ike Slams Abu Dhabi Holiday Critics
Posted on 4:07 AM by tripalh
Nollywood star actress Chika Ike has hit out at critics who criticised her spending habits on her recent getaway to picturesque Abu Dhabi.
Speaking to the Sun News the actress mentions the lessons she has learnt from her first marriage and defends her generous purchases during her trip.
You actually charged the entertainment industry with your recent trip to Abu Dhabi . What motivated it?
Usually, every year, I take a vacation, because I feel havenworked so hard all through , I deserve a break. As they say all work and not play makes “Chika a dull girl”. I just had to take a time out and whenever I do, I make sure I rest very well. I don’t know why it has been all over the whole nation, but I had fun.
Whose money? Is it not the money I worked hard for? Did anybody give me?
I have worked hard and I deserved every bit of the luxury I enjoyed over there and I can proudly say that. I will do it over and over again because I deserve it.
You have become the most sought-after actress right now in Nollywood. What’s the secret?
Honestly, it has to do with a lot of things, but most importantly God and hard work which is very important. God has been on my side, because beyond hard work, I have to give glory to God who keeps me alive and strengthens me. In addition, my fans have been wonder- ful. You can buy anything, but you can`t buy acceptance. My fans are interested in me and they want to see more of me, they want to watch me in movies and that`s how I get more jobs too.
Why were you honoured re- cently with a title?
I was given the title of Akwa Ugo 1
of Amuri Kingdom It was basically in recognition of my contribution to the advancement of Igboland and culture and my philanthropy.
What does it mean to you ?
It means I should just keep working hard. It means people appreciate and recognise my hard work. I am making my people and my country proud and I’m very glad about that. It shows that I’ve started giving back to the society.
So, what would you say is your greatest achievement so far?
I have a lot of achievements which
I am thankful for , but the greatest my career has brought me is being able to touch lives with my platform. I think I have been able to give a voice to the voiceless. I have been able to give back in my little way to the society.
How did your childhood prepare you for stardom?
I come from a closely-knit family. I was given everything I wanted in terms of education, food, clothing and all. I won`t say I come from supper-privileged background, but we were comfortable. My mother is my role model because she is very charitable. My mother taught me that life is not all about taking from people. You have to also give to people and touch lives. The greatest thing you have to do in life is to give back, so that people can remember you.
How have you given back to society?
I have done a couple of things with my foundation, Chika Ike Foundation , whose focus is children on the streets . We’ve supported them in Lagos, Enugu and Asaba for instance.
What is the worst scenario that ever brought you close to tears?
I once met a girl while I was filming in a remote village. Unlike other kids

What is the worst scenario that ever brought you close to tears?
I once met a girl while I was filming in a remote village. Unlike other kids
who said aunty take a picture with me, aunty buy me this or that, the girl walked directly to me and asked me “Aunty, I want to go back to school.” I asked if she was in school and she was like I am living with my uncle and my parents are dead and I have been staying at home for several months. She was just crying. I was like every child will ask you for sweet, biscuits etc, but this girl at 8 years old was in need of education. I was almost shed- ding tears , but I gave her scholarship to university level.
Did you have to support your family during your child- hood?
I didn’t come from a wealthy family, but we are comfortable. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Anything I have today basically was through hard work and grace of God. It was tough, because we were initially comfortable , but things were difficult at some point and dad couldn’t pay my school fees.
I had to support my family by selling shoes and bags. Most people don’t know the story behind Fancy Nancy my business, they don’t even understand the background. I assisted my aunty who has a boutique and sold some shoes for her and I made a little profit to pay my school fees. At some point too , I started modelling to support my family and siblings.
Initially what was your ambition?
I did many things that were en- tertainment inclined. I was a dancer and model too. When I entered secondary school, my friends and parents told me that they wanted more from me. Although I was a science student and I passed my exams in flying colours, I realised that I still had that passion for en- tertainment. During my days in the university, I started going for acting auditions. I even registered for modelling just for me to fulfil my passion and to assist my family.
If somebody is to write your biography now, what part of it would you like to erase?
I have been through a lot of things, good and bad, and they have made me who I am today. It’s been my stepping stone and made me the woman I am today. I cannot erase that. I don’t regret anything.
At what point did you take a decision that changed your life?
I have taken many decisions in my life; career-wise, marriage-wise and generally as a human being. I take many decisions daily.
What has life taught you?
I have come to realise that several things whether good or bad, that I en- counter in life, were designed to make me sit-up . Nobody is perfect; there is nobody who doesn’t have a rough background.

Aside being an actress, who is Chika Ike?
I’m a very good person and I am out- spoken about what I stand for. I’m focus and determined. Whatever I set my mind on doing, I achieve it no matter what anybody thinks.
What are your challenges as a celebrity?
There are lots of challenges I face as a celebrity. Sometimes, I feel like staying at home and doing nothing. I’m always challenged about my goals and I achieve them.
Has Chika found love again?
That is private. I don’t like too much publicity. When it is about to happen then my fans will know.

The Week's Message: Mistakes Women Make In Marriage
Posted on 2:31 AM by tripalh
Insecurity
Some women are so insecure; they threaten other women especially the ones they see talking to their husbands. They put all their effort into that instead of focusing on the energy that will keep their marriage strong. If women could learn to focus on their marriage and not let petty things like cheap talk get in the way, then the marriage might have a chance.
I feel sad each time I see women fight other women for wanting their husband. I have told this story countless number of times about a family friend who lost her three months pregnancy just because she went to fight husband’s girlfriend. She has not been pregnant since she that loss.
Fighting a woman for your husband means you have very low self-esteem and place no value on your husband or you got him the crooked way and so you must struggle all your life to keep him because you know you are not good enough for him. And for your information, I have seen men pack to another house bought by them for their girlfriend just because madam tried beating up the girl.
You may end up losing that precious thing you want to keep to yourself if you continue the way you are going. Even if the man wants to be too civil, he will leave that very one you know and move to another. How many are you going to fight? Stop going to his office at odd times just because you want to know who visits him. Allow the man to relax and occasionally catch fun with friends. They must not womanize when they are together. Don’t kill yourself with irrelevancie.
Busybody
I receive messages from women crying out in pain because they saw certain messages on his phone. One recently called me and said she saw a message from a woman addressing her husband as “darling”. The man’s response was a very official one. I did my best to convince her by telling her there may not be anything between them as colleagues and high school friends use such for each other. I use such endearing words for people and so it means nothing to me.
But I want to ask you a question; what are you looking for in his phone?
The earlier you learn to get your ears and eyes off his phone, the longer you will live. Get busy with something meaningful and you will no longer have time for his phone.
Unfriendliness towards in-laws
Ladies, this is still Africa and communal living is part of our culture. I support the idea of marriage and issues surrounding it being discussed and solved in the bedroom. But I don’t support the idea of women trying to make their in-laws strangers in the home. If you want peace in your home, your mother-in-law must become your mother while your sister-in-law becomes a sibling. If you know how to pound, pound in the mortar; if you don’t know how to pound, pound on the ground.
Do not isolate yourself from your husband’s relatives. Remember you will need them anytime so try and stay connected to them no matter how hard they may seem to be. You will be building a strong family foundation for your children too. Don’t deny them the privilege of knowing their hometown and relations just because you want to act “on top of the world”. Allow them go to the stream and enjoy the beauty of the rural area. Christmas must not be about holidays to United Kingdom and USA.
No Sex
Women are so emotional and tend to use sex as a tool to punish their husbands after a fight. They deny their husbands sex and in doing so, sometimes the husbands tend to look elsewhere. Don’t listen to that foolish woman advising you to deny him sex so as to get that new car or money. Girls, very beautiful ones are everywhere and they are ever available to help you do the work. And for your information, that woman acting tough may be a slave to her husband.
Another thing that can really irritate a man is when you complain too much. Nagging or even being too much of a critic will surely not go down well with him. Women fail to understand that love is not owning a man entirely. This occurs more in marriages than in dating because for some crazy reason some women think that once they have a man wearing a ring on his finger that they can abuse him all they want. Women may not realize that nagging is abuse, but to most men it is a form of abuse that they silently endure until they have had enough. Give the man space and occasionally advise him. He is your husband and not your son.
Unfriendly friends
Sometimes, women normally choose the wrong people to discuss their issues with. They think all the friends they have are there to listen to them and in the end they find themselves with very wrong advice. Women should always be careful when choosing friends especially the ones they open their hearts to. Don’t just pour your heart out to someone. Some people are out to destroy others. You keep wondering why your husband is getting worse even after all the prayers and visit to CLAM and MFM without knowing that your darling friend tells him and his relations all you say about them. Even if she doesn’t tell him, her advice to you may be just to destroy your home.
Appearance
If you think you are married and can now stop taking care of your appearance, you are so mistaken. Stay attractive and see if he will have a reason to look elsewhere. Keep the look he fell in love with and all will be good. Staying attractive is not about bleaching your skin because his girlfriend is light complexioned. He fell in love with a dark skin, keep it for him. He saw a flat tummy and well toned hips and fell in love. Please keep them the way he first met them. Childbirth is never an acceptable reason for big tummy and wrong choice of bra. Changing church is not a reason to ignore those lovely hairdo he was attracted to. He saw you first in a fitted dress; why do you now feed his eyes with those oversized skirts?
Keeping Secrets
Some women are dishonest. They moment they get married, they become unhappy and start hiding things from their husbands. They become secretive to the point where they alienate themselves from a relationship. Always tell your man the truth. Remember that he loves you for who you are. Let him know where the land or house you bought is. If he is your husband and not a stranger, he will know what you own. And who knows; you may die before him.
Inability to feed him
A good number of women no longer bother to know how their husband feeds. Madam, because you have ten stewards doesn’t mean you should ignore your husband. You may not always be there to serve him, but please prepare his soup yourself. It’s sad to note that woman now use domestic staff to cover up their inability to cook well. There is a saying in my place,”a mothers food tastes different”. Your children and husband want to eat mummy’s food.
Too accommodating
Heitler calls it “appendage-itis,” in which the wife is basically being an accessory to the husband, instead of being a full and equal partner in marriage. Usually, they’re afraid it could make a fight or some unpleasantness, or they just think somehow, on a subconscious level, in order to preserve the relationship, they have to diminish what they themselves want. The sense of helplessness leads to anger that eventually boils over. It’s always a very devastating one. Always let the man know when his actions don’t go down well with you. You must not agree with him at all times. And don’t forget, he listens to you and allows you to control him when he sees a submissive wife. This is why you must marry your friend.
Godlessness
You have pushed God aside for your husband and material things. Remember, He is the one who gives you power to make wealth. Never worship the gift more than the giver. God can take away that thing that is precious to you because he doesn’t want to lose you. Dont remember God only in times of trouble; go close to him now that you are happy. Your lovely husband is a gift from God, never serve him more than God Himself.

Asewo Dubai – How Nigerian Ladies Prostitute In The United Arab Emirates
Posted on 7:04 PM by tripalh
Flashy cars. Blinking bank accounts. Good businesses. They have it all. The good things of all fall on their laps. Like the queens that many see them to be outside, they live large.
Welcome to the world of the Nigerian ‘big babes’ who call the shots as far as prostitution is concerned in Dubai, that artificial creation in the United Arab Emirates which has caught the world’s attention.
Dubai covers an area of 1500 square miles and sits 52 feet above sea level. It is the gateway to Asia and is described as the Las Vegas of the Middle East. On the streets of Dubai, these ladies are the centre of attraction and back home, especially in cities such as Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, they own big businesses and drive flashy cars, yet from time to time, they acquire two months visa to Dubai for no reason other than to indulge in commercial sex. With the help of syndicates, they secure accommodation in hotels and apartments.
But she was soon to realize that beneath the cleanliness and splendour of the city lies a dirty trade, which even Sheiks are said to patronise when no one is watching. The moment this reporter stepped into the hotel she had reserved online, she saw an army of half-naked women, parading the premises.
Shocked by the contrast, she had quickly asked: “What’s going on here?” The reply from the smiling front desk person was: “They are from your country, Nigeria. They are our guests. See these ladies, they pair themselves in a room, some even stay three in a room. So, in case you want to save money, you can pair with any of them!”
But her response did not quench the reporter’s curiosity. It did not answer why half-nude Nigerian women, as early as 9am, were flaunting their bodies in front of the hotel with some black guys giving them signals.
At that moment, she made up her mind she was not going to stay in that hotel but would definitely visit the place at night for a better understanding of the mystery.
Having successfully checked into another hotel, with the help of an agent whose number she got from her friend who frequents Dubai, the reporter revisited the Africana Hotel.
The time was 11pm and the environment well lit, with a beehive of skimpily-dressed trooping in and out of the hotel. Observing quietly, the reporter overheard some of the ladies, seated at the reception complaining how the business has gone sour.
One of the ladies said: “Things are not as easy as they used to be when I started this business. There were some weeks I made about $5,000 from these Arab and European men.
“But since more babes from Nigeria got into it, there are so many ‘runs girls’ in Dubai that for the past one month, I have not made up to $5,000.
“We exchanged contacts after he paid $300 for a ‘blow job’ in the elevator. Then, subsequently, we met and had pizza and he offered $1,000 for sex in his apartment.
“I thought he was a decent guy until I got to his apartment. He threatened me with a knife to accept sex with me through the anus or he will kill me.
“I begged him to collect his money and let me go but the oyibo man refused and had his way. Imagine what I have denied most of my contacts, who would have even paid more for it, that stupid European got it by force and still he collected his money back.
“I am just tired of this business. Though I own a big boutique in Festac, it is through these ‘runs’ that I foot my bills because there is little profit in the boutique business.”
Another one, whom they called Jane while sympathising with her friend, told the girls that Alhaja (her pimp) had earlier warned her not to carry money to her customer’s place.
“Alhaja warned me that these days, the men will sleep with you and still collect your money. So, since then, I usually drop any advance payment with her.
“I do not want a situation whereby one stupid man will collect the money I have laboured for. Any valuable thing I have, I usually drop them with Alhaja and she gives me back once I demand for them.
“So, my dear, learn from this experience and most times, it is better you tell the men ahead of time what you can do and what you cannot do,” said Jane.
Jane, who claimed she resigned from her place of work in Lagos where she served as a marketer, attributed her resignation to meagre salary.
“I graduated from the university two years ago and got a job where I was paid N20, 000 per month. The hardship and frustration in Nigeria pushed me into prostitution and I have no regrets because I now have a better life. I own my own apartment, a car and a big saloon in Lagos,” she said.
Baffled by the revelations of the ladies, the reporter asked a travel agent how the women were able to practise open prostitution in a Muslim country.
Hear him: “Is there anything Nigerians cannot do? Most of these girls I know them in Nigeria. Some are rich and own big businesses, while some are students.
“They apply and acquire two months’ visa and with the help of travel agents and some big women, they get accommodation in hotels and even apartment. Then, those women who also have guys working for them usually link them up with men.
“Most of them register and submit their international passports to the women or their contact persons and every night; this is how they keep going about.
“It is very embarrassing that Nigerian ladies, including married women, come here for prostitution. That is how one of them saw me in Festac last year and she was hiding because she knows I know what she does in Dubai.
“Once a woman calls me that she wants two months’ visa, I just know that is what she is coming for and I turn them down. Some will say there is no job in Nigeria and they want to come and hustle.
“What is paining me now is that this nonsense that they do has made it difficult for us to secure genuine visas for decent people. Also, most hotels have increased their rates, with some even refusing to give their rooms to single women coming to stay that long.
“If you go around this neighbourhood (Deira), you will see that these stupid girls even rent apartments, which they keep and pay for even while they are in Nigeria, yet they claim it is unemployment and poverty that led them into prostitution.
“It is a serious issue and I think the Federal Government needs to act on it urgently, if not, these girls will spread diseases in Nigeria, aside the bad image they are painting of the country already,” said the travel agent.
Continuing, the agent narrated how one of the prostitutes approached a client of his who lodged in the hotel sometime in June.
“The girl just knocked on the door and when my client opened, she called her outside and was telling her to stop acting like a child. I just stood by the door and I was hearing their conversation. She told my client that most of the men who have seen her want her to play by the game.
“But my client refused and told the lady that she was in Dubai for business and not prostitution and the girl, while insisting, said most of them own businesses in Nigeria and that they prostitute to cover their expenses.
“She even said that my client can make the money she will use to buy her goods in one night, thereby she would not spend the money she came with or buying more things.
“I was so angry that I had to come out and warn the girl to mind her business and allow my client who has told her she was not interested in prostitution.
“That was why I came immediately you told me she gave you my number and that you want a decent place to stay,” he said.
Yet in this city, there are strict religious laws against prostitution. A western women once got a month imprisonment for a peck on the cheek. The law in Dubai has clear rules that prostitution is illegal. If you are caught by the police, both you and the prostitute will be put into jail and wait for the sentence of the local court.
If you are not a national, apart from the punishment of being sentenced by the court, you will be asked to leave the UAE and will not be allowed back in again.
There are different categories of prostitutes in Dubai. There are the willing ones and the forced one, who are threatened into it by pimps. The bulk of the Nigerian ladies in the trade are the willing ones and if they are caught, unfortunately they will go for it.
