Nollywood actress, Mo Bimpe has revealed that some people intentionally left her out of baby showers, naming ceremonies and children’s birthday celebrations because she did not have a child at the time.

Bimpe made the revelation in a post shared on her social media page while speaking about her experience before becoming a mother and encouraging women currently trying to conceive.

The actress said she later discovered that some of the people who excluded her were people she knew personally and cared about.

“There was a time when I wasn’t invited to baby showers, naming ceremonies, children’s birthdays, or anything related to kids,” she said.

Bimpe said the experience was painful because she loved children and wanted to celebrate with people rather than receive pity.

She also urged people not to make the experience harder for women who are waiting to have children.

“Please don’t make it harder by excluding people. A woman without a child is not less deserving of love, friendship, inclusion, or celebration,” she said.

The actress encouraged women trying to conceive not to give up, using her own journey as an example.

“There was a time I had no child. Today, I am a mother of triplets,” Bimpe said.

She urged women still waiting for children to remain hopeful, saying her experience had shown her that a person’s circumstances can change.

“The same God who remembered me has not forgotten you,” she added.

Nollywood actor, Zuby Michael, has explained why Igbos don’t get much support from industry gatekeepers and executives.

Speaking in an interview with Broadway TV, Michael claimed that gatekeepers and executives are often skeptical of supporting Igbo talents because they are afraid they could easily outshine them.

He said, “Igbo people are fast learners and they are capable of making it big with just a little. You might decide to mentor an Igbo person and what took you 10 years to learn, he will learn it in one year and six months.

“And if you don’t treat him well, he will leave you and start doing the same business you taught him and become your competition. So, people are scared of that.

“Industry executives, including some Igbos, don’t like supporting Igbos because they feel like they will get betrayed by their mentee outshining them,” he explained.

“You don’t have any jurisdiction, that’s what you want to do. Don’t tell me to wait,” he said.

“My lawyers came to your office, I am not resisting arrest, it was attended to,” Odumodublvck said.

He also claimed that he could not be taken away from the venue because of a court order, while accusing the officers of trying to restrict his right to speak publicly about the matter.

“It is illegal to take me from here, my brother. You’re telling me not to tweet, not to speak,” he said.

The video ends with Odumodublvck continuing to challenge the officers over the attempted arrest and insisting that the matter had already been addressed by his lawyers.

“So, doing that, I knew that we gave them a green light to do Amapiano,” Maphorisa said.

He described “Sponono” as a major record that remained influential, adding that its success helped expose the sound to a wider Nigerian audience.

Maphorisa also spoke about the Nigerian artistes and music figures who influenced him, mentioning Don Jazzy, D’banj, P-Square and Davido.
