Even girls embarrass me over my big ass — Evia Simon

Evia Simon is sexy and beautiful. But if you miss anything about the up and coming star, her massive buttocks is sure never to be missed. Even Evia herself says her “ass” has caused her embarrassments too often than she cares to remember, not only from men but also from women. Our reporter caught up with her recently on location at Magbo, Lagos, with Mr. Ibu, Ruth Kadiri, Ene Oche, and director Noba. Evia Lets us into her personal world and the world of make-believe. Excerpts:

Your name sounds sweet, Evia.

That is my stage name. My real name is Eveshoyan. I’m from Edo state, from a family of six, but my parents are late. Only four of us are left: two girls and two boys. I’m based in Abuja

When did you start acting?

I started acting in 2007, but officially in 2010. I started when I was in Kogi State. I began with their local movies. Then in 2009 I went to Port Harcourt on a mission. But officially I registered with AGN Abuja in 2010.

Who or what inspired you into acting?

I got my inspiration from watching movies when I was still 13 or 14 years old. Then, I was aspiring to be a musician, but is not easy to sing, so I now swapped. I decided it was better to go into acting because I love acting more. I started by miming people in movies, watching them with interest before I finally got a friend who introduced me to a producer who wanted to shoot a movie in Kogi State. In that movie, they brought in Sam Loco, Rita Edochie and some other people. That was the first movie I did. I was a princess, a spoilt girl from London and that was how it started before I finally came into Nollywood and registered with AGN.

Where did you school?

I did my secondary school at Kogi State, Okene precisely. My primary school was in Kano because I was born in Kano and I did my polytechnic at Kogi, Lokoja Polytecnic.

What has been the high point of your career?

I’m still getting there. I cannot really say I’ve gotten to the high point yet but I think I’m still on the move and I hope I’ll get there soon by God’s grace. I’ve not really had the opportunity to really showcase my talent. You know how the industry is. The industry is not an easy one where you can just come in and grab a role and say ‘yes this is my role and I have become a star.’ There are many artistes, many stars and lots of talents. No matter how beautiful you think you are, there are lots of people who are more beautiful. If you think you’re sexy, there are lots of other artistes who are sexier. The industry is full of the best of the bests that you cannot easily stand out. Only the grace of God can get you there. I give glory to God Almighty who has given me a director who has been so nice to me. At least I’ve been able to play a lead in a movie which is coming out soon: Men in Bondage and Men in Pain. It’s a comedy movie and I played the lead role in the movie and more are still coming.

How many movies have you done so far?

With the Waka Pass, Waka Come, I think they’re more than 30. I can’t really say because the Waka Pass are even more.

Which are the most popular ones?

Three Generals. Its part two is Stubborn Generals. Regent of Kings is in six parts and there are Prince Apart and Bless the King . Others are Ifunanya, showing onIroko TV now and on cinemas; Dirty Princess, Oga Madam, and many others.

You once said that men go crazy over your figure

Yeah, it’s true. My ass gives me undue attention and even to me, it can be so embarassing sometimes. At times I don’t just feel happy about it. Of course, there are other girls who are shaply, sexy, and beautiful, but you know, this is me and they are them. I don’t know what they are passing through, but I know that I’m passing through hell daily. Even girls get funny about it sometimes.

Girls chase you too?

Not really chasing me but they’re always after me to see whether my ass is real or padded? I’ve worked into a market before and a girl followed me. You know markets are very choked up so she just followed me and tapped my ass just to know. You know what I did to her? I ran after her, I dragged her and I took her hand and I said ‘feel it very well, it is not padded’. She busted out laughing because that was her aim. She wanted to know if it’s padded. I’ve had many harassments on the streets. People embarrass me a lot because of my big ass.

Are you currently in any relationship?

I’m single. I’m not married.

How do you deal with your male admirers?

As I am, it is difficult to find anyone who really likes or loves me because I feel every man that comes around wants to just come and have a feel (of my buttocks) and then move ahead. It is very difficult. It’s not that there are no good men out there, there are lots of good men but how do you know them when everybody that comes has my ass on his mind. All I hear is ‘’Babe, your ass is massive’’ but you don’t know what’s in their mind. You don’t know what their mindset is towards you. I don’t know who likes me. I don’t know who just wants to play around with me and go. Seriously, it’s not easy but I’m trying my best. Relationships don’t work for me, so I don’t really put my mind in there. Relationship is not my thing. I’ve tried and it’s not working so I don’t want to push it. If it comes, fine. If it doesn’t come, fine.

What do you find attractive in a man?

Oh my God! A black guy. I like it when a guy is black, shining black, tall, huge, very smart and hardworking,God-fearing, caring – guys that give attention to a lady even if the girl is saying rubbish, at least, he listens to her and hear her out.

How do you maintain your shape?

I don’t do much. I eat. My problem now is I’m beginning to eat very late and it’s making my tummy big. Like this morning, I woke up, I did some exercises, I did sit-ups but most times, I don’t do it because I feel very lazy. I’m very flexible when it comes to exercise but I find it difficult because of laziness. Sometimes, I might devote time for like a month and sometimes, I will just stop like that but I don’t eat much. I eat more of carbohydrates. I eat fruits and I’m okay.

Can you do a sex scene in a movie?

No I can’t. I can’t do a sex scene. I can kiss in a movie but I can’t go nude. The highest I can go in a movie is my bra on and maybe a pant bum. I can’t even wear a G-string in a movie. I can’t even wear pant in a movie. I can wear a bra but nudity, I can’t do that.

We’ve been hearing of lesbianism in Nollywood. Is it rampant or just rumours?

Lesbianism is everywhere. When you talk of Nollywood, it’s there too at the top and everywhere. So it’s not a new thing. It is everywhere, not only in Nollywood.

What’s your major philosophy of Life?

Life is lovely if you know how to live your life. Put God first in whatever you do. I believe without God nothing good can be achieved. If it is money you think you can use, use it very well but God is ahead of everything in life because this life is just a small place. We see it as very big but it’s a small place and it’s a market and we will all leave one day to return home to God. So, pray to God. Let God lead. Do what you can do. If you’re nice, be nice. If you’re good, be good. My mom would always tell me: ‘Do your best and live the rest for God”. Don’t be too desperate in life. Everything you want would definitely come. But if you’re too desperate about life, you would end up falling into wrong hands. So the best thing is to keep calm. That’s just what I see.

What more should your fans expect from you?

First of all, let me say thank you to my fans. I love you all. Without you there is no me. I know I’ve not gotten to where they’re expecting me to be. But I am getting there. Just watch, keep calm, pray for me and believe I will give you the best. I receive your messages on Facebook, on Twitter, everywhere. I’m thanking them officially. I love you all. Expect beautiful things from me and I promise to make you people proud.

Last Words

What I would say is please, whatever I do in a movie is not my lifestyle. It’s a job and after the movie, I don’t think I would do that same thing I did in a movie. So don’t judge me by my dressing. Don’t judge me by my role. I like sexy clothes so don’t think because I put on clothes to look good, I want to attract any man. I don’t. Right from when I was small, I loved wearing skimpy things. Now, my body doesn’t permit my wearing those things but please, people shouldn’t judge me over my dressing. I just love them. I’m not doing it because of anybody.

Kate Henshaw kicks against butts implant

Lagos – Renowned actress, Kate Henshaw, on Thursday said that butts implant were very dangerous and urged people to desist from it and engage in exercise instead.

Henshaw recently took to her Instagram account page to sound a fearful warning to ladies who want their butts enlarged through implant or some other cosmetic means.

“Ladies please be happy with the body you have, but if you are not, do something about it. Exercise! Get fit! There is no short cut!

“Butts implant that goes bad could be very dangerous and worse than what you were running away from,” she shared on the social medium.

Henshaw, who is well known for her unique acting skills and candid expression of her thoughts and mind, said that butt implant was one of a few procedures that she believed people should not have.

In the same vein, American music superstar, Jennifer Lopez, told an Australian radio station that she does whatever it takes to keep herself in shape as long as that doesn’t include plastic surgery.

Asked if she would ever consider getting butt implants when she’s older or should her bottom lose its shape, the singer, who has a song called “Big Booty” on her new album, totally shot the idea down.

“No. I can’t do it. I can honestly say that’s a big no,” she said.

“You know, I’ve always been quite an athlete, and when I was young I used to run track and do tennis, everything.

So for me, it’s always about getting out to the gym or getting outside or whatever it takes to just kind of keep it together.”
Lopez said she’ll stick to eating healthy and working out, adding that while you “don’t have to go crazy, you don’t have to be a fanatic”; it’s all about upkeep.

Stress may mar your bedroom performance!

Did you know that increased stress levels could unknowingly affect your sexual health and well being? Doctors say if you have not been feeling like it lately, it may be because your stress levels have skyrocketed.

Many may be quick to dismiss this position as the ranting of scientists; but experts are coming up with more evidence on the effect of the rigours of modern life on the male and female libido, which suggests nothing but the negative.

Consultant Gynaecologist, Dr. Tunji Ekunjimi, says stress has effects on every facet of human life, especially fertility, hence its role in reducing libido in men and women should not come as a surprise to anyone.

Ekunjimi states that those who work long hours or hold stressful jobs are more likely to express a diminished interest in sex.

I wasn’t involved in any accident – Sanyeri

Sanyeri

Popular Yoruba comedian, Olaniyi Afonja, also known as Sanyeri, has debunked a rumour going round that he was involved in a car crash a few days ago.

The actor, who has been at the centre of many humorous videos produced in recent years, told our correspondent in a telephone interview on Wednesday that the rumour was the handiwork of some fraudulent people.

“I never got involved in any accident. So, I am not in any hospital as they claim. As I am talking to you, I am in Femi Adebayo’s house where I am eating pounded yam and snail. I have been with him for some days because we are working on his new film,” Sanyeri said.

He noted that he had learnt that some people had started soliciting for money which, they claimed, would be used to offset his hospital bill.

He added, “That is why I have started crying loud to warn people that they should not listen to them. They are 419 guys who want to use my name to dupe innocent people.”

Nigerian men are good lovers but cheat – Rachael Okonkwo

Promising and fast-rising Nollywood actress, Rachael Okonkwo, isn’t a household name yet, but the fair-skinned thespian has  all the trappings of a big star in the making: beauty, brains and the talent.

Having knocked on the doors of fame in such popular flicks like  ‘Pinging Ladies’, ‘White Ladies’, ‘Agatha’, ‘Tears of Olamma’, ‘Open and Close’, ‘Marine Daughters’, ‘Blackberry Madness’, ‘Ekaette Goes To School’ amongst others, Racheal has so much to look forward to, as far as the movie industry is concerned.

My back is hotter than my front – Anita Joseph

Nollywood actress cum singer, Anita Joseph, isn’t just a girl that would get up close and personal with you without some emotions running wild – real wild! Unlike most women who are blessed with either the front or back, Anita has both in abundance and when she isn’t throwing them at you, you feel they somewhow reaching out to you anyways.

She has been romantically linked to governors, senators, musicians and footballers. Not for any other reason but because she has a sensuality that tends to reach out and grab at your conscience. She recently told Potpourri she cannot be a complete housewife, but then who would expect such a time-bomb all locked up behind closed doors.

She has so many luscious pictures on the internet with either the boobs or the backside running free and  mean but when Potpourri caught up with the diva and asked her the million dollar question; which has caused men more pain, her boobs or backside?,

she replied: “ My backside is hotter than my boobs, even though I have both in good measure. Guys find them hard to resist. A guy once tapped my ass and when I turned, he just ran away. My backside has such effects on men”.

Church, IT firm develop worship app

A parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God has launched a live worship mobile application to expand its worship module.

An IT firm, E-knowvate Solution, will manage the mobile application for the parish — Tabernacle of David – located in Ajah, Lagos State.

The mobile development, called TOD mobile app, will foster a live broadcast of the parish worship, including other features such as access to the ministry’s special services like prayer request, counseling, live parish member chat and group task participation, among others.

The parish said the application would serve both home-based and overseas members.

A pastor in the evangelical department of the parish, Philips Otomori, said TOD is a mega church and because of its membership spread, the ministers in the church thought it needful to make gospel of the parish worship and other services available globally.

Otomori said that with the advent of mobile phone, which is now rampant, “it is important to allow the entire church activities such as sermons, run on both audio and video platforms.”

I am sexy and focused — Tamara Eteimo

When A-list movie director, Charles Novia, was asked to name his best five actresses in recent times, he mentioned Mercy Johnson as number one and Tamara Eteimo as number two. Such is the rising profile of the Bayelsa State-born  actress who only recently shot her own produced film.
Here, Tamara  opens the door to her world and takes us through the mind of the girl behind the actress. Excerpts: What has been happening?; have you started music like you said you would?

Tamara-Eteimo

A lot has been happening, although I have not gone back to music as fully as l would want.   I rapped in the movie l am working on and may release the music in future. I have been shooting; I did a job in Port Harcourt with Nse Ikpe Etim, Kalu Ikeagwu and Blossom Chukujekwu. It was great going back to  my roots.

By the way I am producing now; It is my first movie, ‘Somewhere Down The Line’ is the title of this movie and by the special grace of God, I will say that it’s a good one and we did our best in the movie.   On the set were Yemi Blaq, Bukky Wright, Racheal Oniga, Yinka Ayelokun, Mary Lazarus, Adetomiwa Kukoyi, Yinka Salau and lots of other great actors.

The film was directed by Alex Mouth, a fantastic director. In the movie I played two characters.   That is what l call using one stone to kill two birds.   I am also launching my website soonest where all about me will be revealed.

How do you intend to keep with the competition with so many new faces springing up in Nollywood everyday?
Children are born daily and they all have different abilities and selling points. In other words, great talents emerge every day. Just like there are many stars in the sky, but some stars do shine brighter than others without stress.

2015: Fashola condemns call for Christian successor

GOVERNOR Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, yesterday, condemned the demand by some Christian religious groups in the state that a Christian should be his successor in 2015, saying, “do they really believe in God? It is only God that can insist.”

The state chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, has recently called for a Christian to succeed the governor in 2015.

Fashola, while declaring open an inter-faith conference in Lagos, with the theme: ‘Peace, Religious Harmony and Good Governance: Issues and Challenges’, argued that the insecurity in the nation would reduce drastically if everyone embraced religious harmony.

According to him; “People have said that they want one particular governor and I have ask myself two questions – the people who said that they want one particular governor or said that there must be this particular governor, are they still conscious that it is an election where a choice has to be made? If there are two democrats, they should expect that citizens must have a say in who is sworn-in as the governor of their state.
