There is hardly a Nollywood actress who has not tasted the sting of a
scandal at one time or another in her career. While it appears some of
them go courting controversies, others have had controversies tossed
their way either by some overzealous press guys who dig up stuffs
aboutthem and mixed it with a little bit of dirt or by some
circumstantial happenings that caught them right in the middle.
While some of these actresses have ignored many scandals trailing
their career, others have simply laughed them off. Like, in every
movie industry, there are practitioners who crave for attention and
thus ,go the extra mile to expose certain aspects of their lives to
make the headlines.
Here are the top ten actresses who have been severally scandalised.
Interestingly, these scandals, true or false, have never dented their
careers, instead, they have come out of them stronger, bigger and
more popular:
Tonto Dikeh
Tonto is arguably the most scandalised actress inNollywood. Every time
her name comes up in thepapers it seems to be about one controversy or
the other. Some have said she found her way to stardom riding on the
wings of controversies andit seems much of it is true as Tonto seems
to take up roles most of her colleagues wouldn't dare. The daring
actress has played all kinds of roles, most of which bothered on near
nudity and soft porn.

*Tonto Dike
She astounded the movie world not too long agowhen she revealed that
it was Jimmy Jatt who deflowered her. Such is the boldness of the
Rivers State born actress. There have also been rumours of her sexual
involvements with severalartistes including Tuface, KC Presh, Wizkid
and even Iyanya.
When she veered into music, like some of her peers have done, it was
controversy galore again as many critics took her to teh cleaners,
hinting the actress has nothing of a singer in her.And just recently
she posted a near naked picture of herself on Twitter with large
tattoos on her back.
Nuella Njubigbo
'Ella' as she is fondly called by her many fans have been linked to
series of romance tales within and outside the industry. The first
tale that went viral was the romantic involvement with Yul Edochie and
it appeared there was an element of truth in that. At least, the
dashing actor once owned up to the relationship and asserted it
happened long before he met his wife.
Though Nuella has come out to deny all these series of romances,
however the echoes still linger. The one about her and the director,
TchidiChikere was particularly poignant to her as her PR person had to
come out and release a statement on the matter. She has also been
alleged to be in a relationship with a state governor from the
South-South region, which reportedly earned her a SUV. Others who have
been linked with her in the past include footballer Emmanuel Emenike
and a few others.
Cossy Orjiakor
Cossy has said she is one of the most misjudged persons in the
entertainment industry but that does not excuse her image of 'high
octane sensuality'. Her boobs have become the label through which
people identify her and she doesn't help matters as she flaunts these
at every occasion.

*Cossy
The most popular scandal about her is that of her sleeping with a dog
for a fee but Cossy has denied this at every turn. If she is truly
misjudged it cannot be about her excesses in exposing her sexy body.
Recently she tweeted near-naked pictures of herself just to show off
her new panties and also posted in the social media a picture of
herself in 'orgasmic bliss', possibly giving her fans the picture of
herself at the height of a sexual act. But with all her excesses,
Cossy is down-to earth and focused.
Lola Alao
Lola was recently thrown into a controversy involving her good friend,
Bisi Ibidapo-Obe and amember of the House of Representatives, Hon.
Dino Melaye. It was a messy affair and Lola, whosaid she was wrongly
accused and implicated in the matter, was at the centre of it all.
Before the Lola-Bisi-Dino saga, there was the issue of her husband,
who labelled her on the pages of newspaper as "diabolical" but Lola
saidin a recent interview that she doesn't bear grudges against
anyone. In spite of her former husband's campaign in the media to drag
her name in the mud Lola has never once spoken ill of the man and even
saying "I liked the guy. He was a nice guy. It just didn't work out"
Funke Akindele
Funke was really an actress with many sex scandals. It was rumoured
that she had escapades with some notable men before her marriage to
Oshodi big boy, Alhaji Kehinde Almaroof Oloyede. Even her marriage
which held the movie world spellbound was enmeshedin controversy. She
has been implicated in secret relationship with many of her colleagues
Bisi Ibidapo Obe
Bisi Ibidapo-Obe is not new to controversies in fact this beautiful
actress has always had one controversy or the other trailing her. Her
alleged relationships with Timaya, K1 and several othersmade headlines
not too long ago. And recently her controversial personality took a
dive after she announced that Dino Melaye was responsible for her
pregnancy.
The tabloid again was filled with tales of Bisi and Melaye's alleged
romance-which the ex-honour bale member denied. Seven months after she
claimed she met the father of her child,she was delivered of a baby
girl and she was once again in the news when she named the child after
Dino Melaye.
Genevieve Nnaji
Despite her super star status in the industry, Genevieve has had her
own fair share of controversies to add to her growing profile.Before
she became as big as she is today she was reportedly involved in
romanctic affairs with several actors, such as Pat Attah, Kunle Coker
and others. And when the tale of a man who claimed to be the father of
her only child waged a media blitz on her, Genevieve's popularity
soared.

She was even said to have dated an ex Vice President. On top of all
that there is a lingering rumour of her secret affair with D'Banj,
which many have said could lead somewhere.
Foluke Daramola
Before her blissful marriage to her heart-throb,Kayode Salako of
Change Agent of Nigeria Network, Foluke was fingered in the break-up
ofKayode Salako and his estranged wife, Pastor (Mrs.) Bukola Salako.
Before then there was also a controversy that Foluke was evicted from
her home by her landlord for inability to pay her rent. But most of
the scandals about her have been put to rest as the actress has been
vindicated.
Tayo Odueke (Sikiratu Sindodo)
Popularly known as Sikiratu Sindodo, a name she got from the movie
that launched her into stardom,her romance with National Union of
Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Oshodi, Lagos, Musiliu Akinsanya

world. The said MC Oluomo bought a Murano car and a duplex in Maryland

affair with younger brother of Kunle Afolayan, Aremu which she has
profusely denied. She is presently rumoured to be in a sizzling
romance with top Fuji artiste, Malaika.
Faithia Balogun
This estranged ex-wife of top Nollywood actor, Saidi Balogun, Faithia

over a young Ibadan politician, Rotimi Ajanaku whom she accused of
snatching from her. She was once reported to be in sizzlingromance
with the Director of Corporate Pictures. It was also reported that
