Why I Like Exposing My Body - Singer, Emma Nyra
Iyanya’s protege, Emma Nyra who is known for always dressing sexy
explained her reason for showing off a little skin photo
“When it comes to fashion, I’m a person who isn’t scared to take risk. I tell people you won’t be young forever, so I don’t mind taking risk and showing off a little skin.
When I’m older and married I won’t
even want to allow myself show off my husband property but right now, I’m single, I’m singing and I’m young so I want to be as comfortable and fashionable as possible. It’s 2013 and people are accepting new trends! I’ll take judgments from some views but
that’s part of being an entertainer, you want people to talk.”

"I Suffered In My Marriage, Had A Miscarriage" - Actress Chika Ike Opens Up
Nollywood Actress, Chika Ike whose
divorce has been finally dissolved
pens an open letter to her fans,
opening up about the physical abuse
she suffered in the hands of the man
she called her husband for five years.
Read below
The past three years has been a very emotional period for me. I focused my energy on work and to build back my self esteem. its been really hard for me to come out straight and talk about this because sometimes I pinch myself to wake up and not believe that I was a victim of domestic violence.
I’ve been through a lot in my life, faced a lot of challenges but this is one topic I’ve tried so hard to avoid and have been waiting for the right time but I have come to a resolve that there’s really no right time because every second of the day,lives are being lost due to domestic violence. I was a victiim of domestic violence in my marriage and that was the singular reason I left my marriage, aside other reasons.
Growing up as a girl.
I was always known as the sweetest kid on the block, before I got married, I have been through some relationships and for once no man had ever laid a finger on me. The first time it happened in my marriage I didn’t understand it because I am not the type of woman a man beats but I guess there are no types. It just happens and no woman deserves it.
As a young girl I
thought it was love or his way of
expressing his emotions,after every
beating he pleads , cries and says it
won’t happen again, once again I thought it was love and made excuses for him.
Over the years when it kept happening consistently I started looking for other definitions for it. I started loosing my self pride,self esteem , self worth, and most painfully I lost a pregnancy (Miscarriage) I almost lost my life in the process then I realised how serious and abnormal it really was.
I have heard and read a lot of
accusations from ignorant people who don’t know my story,I guess that’s why they are ignorant. I was 20yrs old and very naïve to the world when I got married .”
They said I married for money” LOL. I was married to a
corporate guy, who had a 9-5 job in anbank, Lives in a rented 2 bedroom apartment at Egbe.. So do the maths! . I married for love. I did a traditional wedding. A white wedding and a court wedding.
So that’s how much I wanted to be
married forever. For five years I hoped, prayed & wished that one day it will all change.
But the last straw that broke the carmels back was during a heated argument he threw a glass jug to my face and I dogged it and it shattered on d wall. I saw death flash before me and I made a decision to save my life. I left my
marriage.
Am not saying this to draw pity from anyone because we are entitled to our opinions and believes.
I am not also saying this to discourage people from falling in love because its a beautiful feeling and I still believe in it. I am saying this to educate, share and talk about my experience as a victim of domestic violence because it is real.
