'I don't bleach, what I have is sun burn'- actress Ayo Adesanya says

download (2)
Actress Ayo Adesanya says contrary to popular reports, says she doesn't bleach her skin. In an interview published on Punch today, Ayo said what she has is sun burns which most people confuse for skin bleaching ...

"No I do not bleach my skin. When you see somebody that bleaches, you will know. I have sun burns and it is not a hidden thing. I have tried a lot of things to make it fade away but it has refused and I have come to terms with it. I would never bleach my skin, a lot of people get confused about it but I don’t get bothered. I don’t owe anybody an explanation but when you meet me in person, you can always make up your mind"


What does she think of bleaching?


"Some people are naturally fair and the weather in Nigeria is terrible, it is just recently that we have been experiencing cool weather. The sun is usually very hot and it is bad for the skin. For someone like me, a lot of people are usually confused when they see my picture. They are quick to assume things and they do not know me personally. When you see people in pictures, don’t be too quick to judge, do you know how many lights are focused on the person while taking the picture? Because of the weather in this country, there are some lotions people use to enhance their skin and make it softer. There are some lotions that are not harmful but people have some misconception. The weather is very bad and it can affect one’s skin if care is not taken. I have friends that are fair in complexion and I know what they go through to maintain their complexion. If you do not maintain it, it would appear as if yourskin is dirty. I don’t believe people should bleach personally." she said00 (1) 0 (3)

Is This Actor The Sexiest In Nollywood?

Is Nollywood actor, Benson Okonkwo the sexiest male in the Nigerian movie industry?

[caption id="attachment_2555" align="aligncenter" width="644"]Benson-Okonkwo-Wins-Award4 Benson Okonkwo[/caption]

Nollywood actor, Benson Okonkwo, has cause to celebrate as he has been awarded the Sexiest Actor of the Year 2014 at the Karis Media Award, beating the likes of Yul Edochie, Frank Artus and Van Vicker to it.

The award organised Vanguard Newspaper, has drawn a lot of talking point from movie buffs who believe the actor who has been seriously clamouring for the introduction of pornographic movies into Nollywood is not deserving of such a prestigious award.

The fans who do not think Benson Okonkwo should have been given that award, believe that apart from parading himself on social media and posting his photos all over the place, he cannot dust other actors the likes of Vicker and Yul Edochie.

The Enugu State based actor however, has been over the moon since the award, telling all who cares to listen that his award was based on merit.

Do you think he is the sexiest actor in Nollywood?
