Just like the legendary story of a cobbler’s wife, who does
not know when her husband’s payday will be since their source of income
is dependent on people’s rough usage of their shoes and, until it goes
bad, her husband is not sure of when the next income will come, so it
can be likened to the story of these eligible Nollywood hotties.
As the year grinds to an end, the likely question on their minds is
when, where and how their spouses will come. They seem to have outlived
their single girlhood lifespan on the shelves. They are ripe and very
ready. Yet, they are still hopeful that some day, perhaps, in 2013,
their Prince Charming will emerge from any corner of the planet.We present some of the hottest single ladies, who are still searching, not desperately though, looking forward to that blissful day, even as they desire to live happily ever after....

| GENEVIEVE NNAJI:Genny, as she is fondly
called, is also described as the darling of Nigeria’s movie industry,
known as Nollywood. One thing you can’t take away from her is her acting
prowess as well as her classy dress sense.
Many feel something is lacking in Genny’s seemingly perfect
life of fame, money and beauty – a man, who would capture her heart
forever. Even though she is not known to be a sucker for love, Genevieve
has been severally linked with some men both within and outside
Nollywood. The height of it was when she was reported to be involved
with the sitting number two man of the country during Olusegun
Obasanjo’s tenure. Genny never came out to refute the rumours and
neither did she state it was true. Perhaps, the one that resounded for
long was her acclaimed romance with Koko master, D’Banj. She also
maintained sealed lips about it too. She is beautiful, intelligent,
classy and rich too. So, what’s keeping this 33-year-old mother of one
from finding Mr. Right? No one knows. Nigerians hope to see her hooked
next year.

| RITA DOMINIC:
Rita is one woman you dare not look at once and walk away.
She may have come in a small package but you just can’t discard her huge
impact on others. She’s intelligent, talented and a power dresser any
day. Rita has not been romantically linked with her colleagues or anyone
in the entertainment industry but she has been in the news for
allegedly having her heart beat faster for a popular Nollywood actor
that loves to speak with American accent. Both have acted in many movies
together but nothing seems to come out of the alleged affair.
Right now, the Theatre Arts graduate is happy with her life
but not many know whether she sheds secret tears about not being
captured by her Mr. Right. Fans and friends only hope 2013 doesn’t pass
by without a ring on the fourth finger of her left hand.

| BIMBO AKINTOLA:
The history of Nollywood queens is not complete without
mentioning Bimbo Akintola. She is one of the most versatile actresses
Nigeria has produced. For those who know her, she is easy going. She is
the third child of a family of six and a native of Oyo State,
Nigeria. She started acting as a pupil with her peers for the school’s
end-of-year drama events. One thing that mesmerises her fans is her
ability to blend into any role given to her without qualms. But when it
comes to relationships, not much is known about her. This is because she
believes that age is no longer a barrier to marriage as it can come any
time. But her fans feel she is missing the thrill of matrimony.
Acording to her: “There is no such thing as an ideal man. There is no
perfect man or woman. What you have is work in progress. Once you meet
half-way, you just have to build from there.”
She is right but let’s hope 2013 will usher her into the
journey of matrimony with an ideal man and one with whom she can build
their future together. Even though she is not bothered about her marital
status, well-wishers will be thrilled if she gets hooked with the right
man next year.

| CYNTHIA AGHOLOR:
This busty Nollywood actress is not afraid to flaunt what
she’s got no matter whose ox is gored. Cynthia Agholor’s ugly scar for
being in Nollywood is being sexually harassed by many producers and
directors in her early days in the industry. Starting out at the age of
six with the popular kiddies programme ‘Tales by Moonlight’, Cynthia has
been in the spotlight all her life.
She has had her share of love troubles when she dated a white
guy. Years after the relationship hit the rocks, Cynthia is rumoured to
be in a sizzling romance with a top Ghanian movie producer. The romance
is altar-bound, according to the news making rounds. It is evident that
the lovebirds are happy together and waste no time, flaunting their
affection for each other openly. Nothing will thrill her fans more than
to see the well-endowed actress get married next year.

| QUEEN NWOKOYE:For this innocent-faced
Nollywood actress, simplicity is her way of life. She has remained
scandal-free since she joined Nollywood in 2004. This Sociology and
Anthropology graduate of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra
State, has endeared many to herself with her sweet girl roles.
But many wonder when this Nollywood good girl is walking down
the aisle with a man after her heart. And if you think she is not keen
on getting married, then you are wrong. Marriage is on her mind but she
is not in a hurry to settle down. This pretty lady considers marriage a
serious issue and not something one just jumps into. She says: “If you
jump in just because you want to change status, you will jump out of it
in no time. That does not mean that I don’t have people who have
proposed and are still proposing. There are even those who have been
pestering me.” Queen only desires a lifelong matrimony. Let’s hope 2013
makes her wishes come true.

| EBUBE NWAGBO:
Despite Ebube Nwagbo’s flawless beauty and talent, she wasn’t
spared the heartbreak of watching her ex-boyfriend, Kingsley Okonkwo of
KC Presh, make a lasting commitment to another woman. Ebube’s journey
into Nollywood has spanned over 10 years and yet, no man has been able
to capture her heart for life.
Right now, this Nollywood diva and Mass Communication graduate from
Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, is enjoying her status as a
businesswoman. She owns Posh Hair and has directed her energy into
building her brand. When it comes to marital issues, Ebube says most
parents don’t want their sons to marry actresses or female musicians for
fear that they would make bad wives. Of course, being a victim of such
stance, her would-be husband should then know how to tread with his
family, regarding her career. Perhaps, that is why she is taking her
time, regarding marriage.
Ebube is not still single because she is an actress; she is waiting
for the right man, who will love her, acting and all. But Nigerians
just wish this Nollywood sweetheart would walk down the aisle next year
despite the odds. Many pray she would find a man, who will trust and
believe in her as well as appreciate her job as an actress.

| HALIMA ABUBAKAR:
You can call her Nollywood bad girl but she doesn’t care a hoot.
Halima Abubakar took Nollywood by storm years back and there has been no
stopping this never-say-die actress. Her rise to stardom wasn’t a bed
of roses, given the tough times she experienced growing up. Her
persistence paid off in the end and today, she is one of Nollywood’s
darlings.
Although she has been in the centre of some scandals, Halima
doesn’t bother herself any more about bad press. Her only concern is to
keep forging ahead. On relationship matters, Halima believes in love but
has restrained herself from making a lasting commitment to one man
because some married people are running out of marriage. Halima believes
that when the time is right, she will say yes to the one. She doesn’t
believe in joining the bandwagon of ladies, rushing into marriage just
to get a ring. She is not in a rush because she wishes to remain married
for life like her parents, who have been together for over two decades.
Fans just wish that the right time for Halima is 2013, as they are
expecting to know who will finally steal Halima’s heart for life.

| SUSAN PETERS:Susan Peters recently adopted a child
and that singular act sent tongues wagging and brought to fore again her
single status. Susan is a multiple award-winning actress and also a
star of Nigerian TV. Her remarkable talent has paved a way for her in
Nollywood and her dedication is equally infectious. She started acting
in Nollywood movies in 2002 and despite increasing pressure for
Nollywood actresses to perform raunchy love scenes and appear with
little or no clothing, Susan has not followed suit.
Although Susan Peters is discreet about romance and has rarely been
linked with any particular man in the press, marriage is definitely on
her mind. She is one of those that have added finesse and glamour to
Nollywood but she is not ready to jump into any marriage without working
hard towards it. Susan confessed sometime of developing a fantasy on
handsome fellow Nollywood star, Ramsey Nouah, but nothing has been heard
about her love life. Nigerians just pray luck smiles on her in 2013 so
that the child she adopted can have the love of both parents.

| COSSY ORJIAKOR:
This busty Nollywood actress is controversy personified. Her
flagrant display of her God-given boobs have gotten her more haters than
fans. But in all these, Cossy is hard to erase from one’s mind easily.
Like her or hate her, she lives her life the way she deems fit. One
question Cossy should answer is if she is ready to settle down soon.
She cried out at one time that she was tired of married men chasing
her and sending her messages. At 37, no one knows for sure if the
controversial actress is giving marriage a serious thought. Her fans
wish her well in 2013. Many are actually pleading with her to settle
down and raise children rather than continue displaying her boobs in
public all the time.

| EJIRO OKURAME:
Pretty Isoko actress, Ejiro Okurame, joined Nollywood eight years
ago and she has been able to hold her own in a highly competitive
industry. Her role in Clinic Matters is so impressive and she has won
many hearts with that feat.
At one time, it was rumoured that she was in a hot romance with
fellow actor, Segun Arinze, but she clearly refuted it. Those in the
know insisted that the two had a flame but kept it discreet. Ejiro
Okurame is definitely thinking about settling down. Her fans
