CAUGHT IN THE ACT:BETWEEN NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS CHIOMA CHUKWUKA AND PAPARAZZI

Story & photos by Niyi Tabiti
 Award winning nollywood actress Chioma Chukwuka Akpotha is a fine girl anytime ,anyday. I remember the first time I saw her at a restaurant on Raymond Njoku street,Ikoyi. It was at the media screening of a film produced by former Nigeria's goalkeeper, Emmanuel Babayaro (elder brother of Celestine Babayaro).
Chioma played a major role in the movie.At that time,not much was known about her but some of us who saw the movie knew that it was only a matter of time, Chioma would go far in the movie industry.
 So, it was not a suprise when gistmaster and other paparazzi at the Phone Swap film premiere in Lagos took interest in having the latest photographs of the actress on the red carpet.Wondering why some celebs like to adjust and re-adjust their dresses when they get to events. Chioma was caught in this mood, adjusting her outfits at every slightest opportunity (I bet some stylists need work to do here). One of the rules of fashion is "It it doesn't fit, don't wear"
First photo:Chioma doing the adjustment on her dress so don't think thats where she keeps her money!
Yeeeee...make una wait make I finish now!
