In a recent revelation, popular Nollywood actress Doris, who is an amputee, opened up about her personal life, revealing that some white men pay her for being an amputee.

Doris, revealed that despite her amputation, she has continued to engage in romantic relationships. However, she expressed her dissapointment upon discovering that some men dated her out of pity. In a particularly upsetting incident, she found that a man she was seeing had saved her name as “one leg girl” in his phone, a name that deeply hurt her.

Doris also touched on the aspect of her dating life, mentioning her interactions with white men who are specifically attracted to amputees, known as ‘devotees’. These men often request videos of her amputated leg, offering payment in dollars for such content. Actress Doris also revealed the heightened sensitivity of her amputated leg, explaining that it significantly enhances her physical sensations.

Bimbo, recalled how numerous producers wanted to exploit her appearance for sexualized roles.

A woman must know her place and submit to her husband. The greatest mistake a woman can make is to want to stand shoulder to shoulder with her man. When you show submission your man will respect and adore you gor it. ”

“My husband is actually the one who goes to the market. I don’t go to the market because I can’t. Because of my status, I can’t. But my husband didn’t say you know traditionally, a man is not supposed to go to the market, I’m not gonna go, no. My husband actually goes to the market.”

“Earlier in my career, I used to go with him but I’d stay in the car, because our cars are tinted, so I’d stay in the car. But then, one time we went to Tejuosho and someone found out I was in the car. It became a major security risk, so he said don’t ever go with me again. He goes and he has fun and he comes back home, and I do the cooking, so you see we strengthen each other”.

Tyla Laura Seethal, a South African singer, has explained why she adores Nigerian singer Asake.

Tyla said he loves how Asake uses his “choir vocals” in a recent RollingStone interview about the inspiration behind her viral hit “Water.”

Her song ‘Water’ was inspired by Amapiano from her home country, childhood R&B influences, and Nigerian Afrobeats, she said.

She said, “Amapiano music is the core of it [‘Water’] in my opinion. And just all of the influences from growing up like Rihanna and all the R&B girlies, R&B boys, pop girls. That type of influences I love bringing into my music.

“Something I really love in Afrobeats music is when I hear those step vocals that sound like a choir, almost. And I really love the way Asake uses it. I just always love the way it sounds. So, with the chorus [of my song ‘Water,’ I incorporated it]. Obviously, people can’t stop singing, they can’t get it out of their minds, which I love.”
