When you act dumb in every movies, it eventually starts affecting you in reality. Okon needs urgent help and his movie roles should be changed before it becomes permanent dumbness.

Nse Ikpe-Etim Bares Her Heart On BBC Pidgin

Premium Times Nigeria

In an event tagged “conversations with Nse” popular actress Nse Ikpe-Etim got in detailed talk with BBC Pidgin where she opened up about her struggles with conceiving. She further explained why she had her womb removed and why she is not going to have a kid.

I gave up my struggle with perfection a long time ago. That is a concept I don't find very interesting anymore. Everyone just wants to look good in photographs. I think that is where some of the pressure comes from. Be happy. Be yourself, life is so much more. /1 pic.twitter.com/fIjpCEQij9

Nigerians papers should do better with headlines….. Nse's story is too important for the kind of silly headlines I'm seeing…..like serious…why I removed my womb? Why I sacrificed having children? Like really????

Nse Ikpe Etim's BBC interview was powerful. Not easy to put oneself out like that but supremely needful. People need to know that behind the glitz, there are scars. It strengthens, reassures & empowers. Not everytime all is well. Sometimes let people know you have problems too.
