Who Did That Actress Offend?

-

FORMER star of television sitcom, My Flatmates, Wofai Fada, who played the character of Sandra, the semi literate wife of Nduka ( Okey Bakassi), is not having the best of times at the moment. T4T is a great fan of My Flatmates and he misses Sandra, although her replacemen­t, Chidinma, has been able to fill in the void excellentl­y well. However, Sandra gave that role a very different vibe. Now, to the story behind this story. The family of Taiwo Olakitan Cole who recently married Sandra, sorry, Wofai Fada, in her Ugep, Cross River State, openly came out to disclaim and dismiss the union describing it as “null and void". This is the first time T4T is seeing a family write a disclaimer on a marriage union and making it public and that is where the Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos deserves a Guinness World Record award for being the first to achieve that feat. It was a strong disclaimer ( if you want to see the full document, Google search it, nor be T4T go do dat wahala for you) and from the tone, someone or some people are not happy with ‘ Sandra’, sorry, Wofai. The Cole family even warned her in a subtle manner not to begin to feel like she is part of the family already with that ‘ charade' that happened in Ugep.

One thing T4T got from the whole bizarre drama is that, it seems the Cole family did not like their son's choice of Wofai and they never gave their blessings but trust the ‘ Nor Gree For Anybody’ children of this generation, Taiwo decided to call his family's bluff and went ahead with the marriage. He must have got together some of his loyal friends and ‘ dissidents’ like him in the family and fiam, they all went to Ugep in Cross

River. When the ‘ We Nor Go Gree' side of the family got wind of what was going down in Cross River, fiam, they rushed to issue that disclaimer real time and posted it online. And since Wofai Fada is a popular figure ( she is an actress and football analyst on TV), the disclaimer naturally gained traction and circulated so fast like petrol scarcity.

Now, the question T4T wants to ask anybody who will care to answer is, what did aunty ‘ Sandra' do to one or all members of the family that made them turn against her and are even ready to swear with Ifa, Obatala and Amadioha that their son will never get married to her? Hope it is not what T4T is thinking o. You know as ‘ Sandra’ in My Flatmates, Wofai was very stubborn and opinionate­d, she literally controlled Nduka in the house and perhaps the Cole family saw her play that role for years coupled with the fact that the script made sure she did not get pregnant for Nduka, one of the reasons Nduka family did not want her on the long run. Now, Nduka, after ‘ Sandra’ left, married Chidinma and in no time, Chidinma got pregnant and has even given birth. Wait o, hope nor be wetin the Cole family see wey make dem dey say ‘ We nor go gree o, we nor go gree...? Na jus acting be dat ni!

Well, T4T is just looking at every possible scenario that would make a family not want the bride especially when we are talking about a Yoruba family and Yorubas are known generally to be among the most( if not the most) liberal tribes when it comes to marriage. Any tribe can marry the Yoruba and they can marry any tribe too.

So, wetin really happen for my dear ‘ Sandra’ case?

Angela Okorie Again!

NOLLYWOOD

actress Angela Okorie is on rampage! After tearing into fellow actor Zubby Michael last week, it is the turn of another star, Mercy Johnson, who she has been calling so many unpalatabl­e names and accusing of things that bother on the incredulit­y. T4T will not dignify her by stating some of the things she accused even the actress's mother of here because aside them being infantile, they can be only found in Nollywood movies they tag ‘ Epic'. Husband of Mercy Johnson, a serving Parliament­arian had to come out in defence of his wife and Ms Okorie did not spare him too in the ongoing social media war. The question T4T wants to ask Aunty Angela here is; what really is troubling her? Is what she is doing a strategy to revive her career because one noticed that the once toast of movie producers seems to have been relegated to the back seat lately. Okorie's beautiful face used to grace almost every movie some couple of years ago, did Mercy Johnson use her now famous ‘ juju' she accused her of to bewitch her? Anyway, if Mrs. Mercy Johnson Okojie is innocent of all the horrible things she was accused of, maybe someone remind her that there is what is called Criminal Libel in Law. T4T nor talk pass like dat.
