Nollywood actor Stan Nze has said his support for any presidential candidate is based on competence rather than tribe or personal affiliation, stressing that his priority is a better Nigeria.

In a post shared on his Instagram page, the actor said he is not concerned about which region or ethnic group produces the country’s next leader. Instead, he wants a president who genuinely has the interest of Nigerians at heart and is capable of moving the nation forward.

According to Stan Nze, good governance affects every Nigerian regardless of tribe or location, making it important to choose a leader who can deliver meaningful progress.

While noting that his support is not tied to any individual, the actor added that, based on the candidates he has seen so far, he believes Peter Obi remains the best option.

He said:

“I only want to see a better Nigeria. It doesn’t have to be Peter Obi. I’m not looking for someone from my tribe, but for a candidate who has Nigerians at heart and can move the country forward, not one step forward and ten steps backward.

“So far, I haven’t seen any better candidate than Peter Obi in this election. The truth is that governance doesn’t affect only one tribe or region, it affects everyone.”

Nollywood actor and filmmaker Lateef Adedimeji has revealed that his wife, actress Mo Bimpe (Adebimpe Oyebade), initially had concerns about marrying him because of their different religious backgrounds.

Speaking during an interview with Morayo Afolabi Brown on her YouTube show, Lateef said he had once promised himself that he would never marry someone from the entertainment industry, but things changed.

According to the actor, he is a Muslim while Mo Bimpe is a Christian, but he never saw religion as a barrier to their relationship.

He explained that what mattered most to him was finding peace with the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Lateef disclosed that although Mo Bimpe had reservations about the relationship, he remained determined and asked to meet her father.

He said:

“I promised never to marry someone from my industry, but God had better plans. I am a Muslim, she’s a Christian. It didn’t matter to me because the most important thing before religion is my peace.

“She had her concerns, but I told her to let me meet her father, and the rest is history.”

The actor also addressed viral AI-generated photos circulating online, which falsely claim to show the faces of their triplets.

Lateef clarified that the children seen in the photos are not their babies and confirmed that he and his wife will reveal their triplets’ faces when they decide the time is right.

He said:

“Also, those children you are seeing with us on social media are not the faces of our triplets because it’s AI. When we are ready, we will reveal their faces.”

Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus has opened up about the criticism she continues to face despite her remarkable weight-loss journey, saying people still find reasons to judge her.

The actress revealed that she weighed 170 kilograms five years ago but now weighs 83 kilograms after years of making healthier lifestyle choices.

According to Eniola, the transformation did not happen overnight. She said it took years of discipline, consistency, sacrifice, emotional struggles, setbacks and a daily commitment to improving her health.

While she is proud of how far she has come, the actress admitted that the negative comments from some people have been painful.

She noted that the same people who once mocked her for being overweight are now criticizing her for becoming slimmer.

Eniola stressed that remaining silent in the face of insults does not mean the comments do not affect her emotionally.

She wrote:

“Five years ago, I weighed 170KG. Today, in 2026, I weigh 83KG. That didn’t happen overnight. It took years of discipline, sacrifice, pain, consistency, tears, setbacks and choosing my health every single day.

“The same people who body-shamed me when I was plus-size are the same people body-shaming me now that I’ve lost the weight. What exactly do you want from me?

“Just because I don’t respond to the insults doesn’t mean they don’t hurt. It doesn’t mean I’m weak. It doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings. I’m human.

“Nobody deserves to be bullied for being plus-size, and nobody deserves to be bullied for losing weight either. I’m proud of my journey. I’m still growing, still healing and still becoming the best version of myself.”
