Pretty Nollywood actress, Ini Edo, has fallen pitiably by the sword of the bad publicity which alleged that she has been sleeping around to get the best on wheels in Nollywood. Interestingly, as a celebrity who actually struggled to be where she is today, has swiftly dismissed such idle talk as unfounded, maintaining that she works assiduously for every kobo she gets in the industry. Edo, in her own words, said “I have been pretty active in Nollywood since 2005. Those close to me knew that between 2005 and 2007, I bought a second-hand car.

“I still remember vividly, till now, that my first car was a drop top convertible in 2006 or there about. Although I am not good with dates, however, I think that was even before I moved to Lekki. I strongly believe that buying a Murano truck was not a bad idea as at that time and, as at that time, I was the only female using it.”

She confessed that her acquisition of the costly ride actually got everybody talking expectedly, adding that they made lots of fuss over it.

Before she bought the automobile, according to her, “I checked my account very well and I was also convinced that the money was there before I asked my elder sister to come with me to somewhere in Ikeja where we picked up the ride.”

Hence the screen diva maintained that this is why “I am still disturbed that people who know me very well that I work for every money I get are discrediting me maliciously.”

The celebrated actress who frowned at the ‘bad belle’ of most colleagues in Nollywood, accused them of colluding with the media to ruin the image of celebrated actresses who may not have actually wronged them in the first place.
