Itohan almost destroyed Nollywood actress, Cossy Ojiakor, the movie was treated as sacred by so many Nigerians because of the role Cossy played after that infamous dog scene. Wondering how the parents of Cossy felt, she just revealed it.
She said “I should have reported each and every pastor that defamed me during the dog saga. Yes they preached during the ordeal,” the actress recounts. “I was hurting. I was alone. I was a poor tittle girl trying to find her way. Trying to understand life. I was called all sorts of names.”
She went on to say “Pastors preached. The congregation moaned and rain curses to the name that brought shame to womanhood. My mum was in church somewhere in Abuja. The pastor preached about this fake sermon. The lust after money… The girl that slept with dog just for #10,000 dollars. Who is she then to challenge the pastor.. Well she was just the mother to the girl that supposedly slept with dog. She simply left the church and never went back,” said the actress who also set the records straight: she was only paid N30,000 for the role.
Even her father was not spared “They gathered in the church and went to my village house to rain curses on the girl who brought immense shame to the church and the village. My father knew it was just a movie. So never really cared,” she said.
