My attention has been drawn to the recent paternity mess brewing in the entertainment industry over Nollywood actress, Laide Bakare’s new born baby boy, and I felt the need to say a word or two. Although Paternity issues and marriage scandals are not new to Yoruba actresses, the recent build up of things-from her messy divorce till present-remains a great shocker.
To fully understand my grouse in this whole matter, it is important to point out that Laide Bakare used to be one of the “supposed” easy going yoruba actress who remained scandal free. She rode to fame and constantly gave her fans much to admire. From her stellar movies to her soft spoken, yet articulate nature, Laide Bakare, seemed to be an actress in a class of her own.
