I can act nude for $50m – Amanda Ebeye

Amanda Ebeye

Amanda Ebeye tells Ademola Olonilua why she does more of soap operas than Nollywood movies

You once said that some of your friends who are actresses encouraged you to become an actress. How did they manage to do that?

 I had a particular friend who was taking me for auditions. Back then, auditions were held at the National Theatre and Winnie’s Hotel in Surulere (Lagos). Actors would hang around and wait for audition notices. Those were the two most likely places artistes converge for auditions. My friend knew I always wanted to act and she was acting partly but in smaller roles. She was and is still more of an actress than a model till date. We are not really close friends anymore.

Ibara, Abeokuta.

RE: BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

I wish to formally acknowledge your letter dated December 2, 2013 and other previous correspondence similar to it.

You will recall that all the letters were brought to me by hand. Although both of us discussed some of the issues in those letters, I had not, before now, seen the need for any formal reply since, to me, they contained advice from a former President to a serving President. Obviously, you felt differently because in your last letter, you complained about my not acknowledging or replying your previous letters.

Sitting with opposite sex is strictly prohibited — Imam Yunus

Imam Talihat Yunus is the Chief Imam, Adiam Memorial Central  Mosque Iporo Ake, Abeokuta. He speks on sitting arrangement or what some people called segregation of women in mosque. Excerpts

Sitting with or among the opposite sex is strictly prohibited. When men and women sits together, it results to different mishaps happening in our society like fornication, adultery, sexually  transmitted diseases and even unwanted pregnancies.

The major reason for this segregation in Islam is that whatever you are close to, can make you sin. The only reason that a man and woman can sit together in Islam is only when the two parties are related by blood.
