Princess Damilola

Popular Nigerian entertainer Princess Damilola Adekoya is off the market. The widely-loved plus-sized comedienne, who mixes satire, self-deprecation, slapstick, mimicry, and freestyle skit to create a brand of stand-up comedy uniquely hers, told NET last night in Lagos, that she’s found love, and can’t wait to tie the knot. 

Princess and her partner ‘Ade’ will exchange wedding vows in Lagos on Wednesday May 8 which is Princess’ birthday. The upcoming wedding will happen seven days after Princess’ Shades Of Comedy concert, holding at the MUSON centre on May 1.

In a brief interview, she tells us: ‘I’ll say we’ve known since 2005 because he’s known me since then, and he’s tried several means to get my attention. Even though it didn’t happen, he kept trying and recently, a friend introduced us and we hit it off. He’s a very quiet and private person, and someone who loves and understands what I do. He loves entertainment too, I won’t say more than that for now…’ 

The couple’s friends are already picking the traditional Aso Ebi. The first of two girls, Princess’ only other sibling Yemisi also got married few months back.

What Jim Iyke Did To Me When We Were Lovers ––Actress Steph Okere

In a recent chat, actress Stephnora Okere who was dating Nollywood bad boy Jim Iyke before their relationship packed up years back has disclosed that Jim did some things to her that has made it very difficult to take him off her heart. She admitted she also made mistakes but still loves Jim Iyke because he was the man who really made her feel like a woman. See what she said below...

I've been maintaining a low profile because of the fact that I wanted to re-arrange myself for the future having made one or two mistakes in the past. 

                                                            

  What mistakes are you referring to? As an actress or your personal life?

Both. First as an actress, I allowed myself to put on weight and that is not good for the kind of profession I'm in. When I gained weight, I lost a lot of offer for movie roles. My personal life mistake concerns my involvement in a marriage process that never scaled through. I got involved with someone with someone who doesn't understand what the word love means. It took me being involved in that relationship to realise what true love really means. It made me realise that I had loved and still do love someone else." 

Who exactly are you referring to that you still love?

I still love Jim Iyke 

Wow, that's some revelation. I am sure even Jim Iyke will be shocked to read this. He must have impacted on you strongly. 

Jim was and is still the best friend I've ever had. He was not just around, he was there as a friend, brother, lover, companion. He was always there. He understood me.
