I let females touch my boobs when I’m in the mood – Cossy Orjiakor

Cossy orjiakor

Cossy Orjiakor always say it as it is without any form of equivocation. In this interview with the Sun Newspapers, the singer and actress opens up on many areas of her life why she rarely appears in Nollywood movies anymore, what she has against acting nude, her relationship status and more.
Read excerpts of the interview below:

It’s like you’ve been lying low for a while. Where have you been?
Yeah (giggles) I’ve been having fun really doing my own thing. But I’m working on a reality TV show designed to give back to society. I have this large heart for giving back, so I want to have a reality TV show where the winners would be encouraged to bring forth proposals which I would sponsor with the little I have. But if I could get sponsors it would be great!
For the past 10 years you’ve been active in Nollywood. Could you share your happiest moment with us?
That was when I started getting recognition back in the days when I just started acting; those were my happiest moments but right now I’m just there.

What’s been your saddest moment?
You should know now (laughter). Imagine all the false stories that they’ve published about me; ‘Cossy Orjiakor has HIV’, ‘Cossy had sex with a dog’, ‘Cossy did this and Cossy did that’. You know, that’s not cool. But I’m a fun person and I dress for the occasion. Like if I’m going for a costume party I’d wear a sexy costume and that’s a party that happens basically in the night. But the thing is that in the morning, when normal people see the pictures of the clothes in the papers, they judge me unfairly.

A lot of men including me are ogling right now. How do you handle your male fans?
I smile if they have the guts to tell me I look good, and I say ‘thank you’.

What if they want more?
I go out on my own most times. I have friends that own clubs, so if I’m bored and want to hang out; I could either go out on my own or with friends. It all depends on my mood.

I can see there’s a tattoo on your left boob. What does it signify?
It’s a rose flower. I got it a long time ago. I just wanted to know what it feels like to have a tattoo; I actually have four.

But having a tattoo on your boob must have been very painful…?
Yes, it was but I just wanted to know how it felt like having a tattoo (laughs).

You come across as a very fun loving and adventurous person. What makes you tick?
I am extremely happy; I tick because I am a happy person. I always see the comic side to everything around me especially in difficult situations.

Tell us about your love life; I mean the man in your life now?
I spent my Valentine alone.

Why did you spend Valentine alone?
I went for a party, a costume party where you dress as a sex icon at Galiante, so I wasn’t really lonely.

What’s the most romantic thing you’ve done lately?
I don’t remember.

But Valentine was only recently…?
(Giggles) I dressed up my dog and painted him; I have a canine. It was supposed to be an Alsatian dog but I was duped. When the dog became big, it was looking more like a local mongrel but just the same I love my dog, so I bought dye and painted it and gave it that unique Alsatian look and then off I went to party.

Who is in your life right now?
You know I don’t talk about men.

But your fans want to know?
I’m not lacking attention but I’m not really in a serious relationship for now.

What determines your fashion sense when you go out?
It depends on the mood I’m in and where I’m dressing for. You dress to impress and sometimes you dress to express yourself.

What’s the craziest thing a fan has done to you after seeing your boobs dangling sodangerously?
(Laughter) Yeah… I’ve had a lot of experiences especially from females. I could allow a female touch my boobs if I am in the mood. You know, they are like, ‘is it real?’ Men don’t really do much these days; it was a long time ago.

There’s this report that you once insured your boobs…?
No, no, no… that was a fake story. I don’t k now where it emanated from but it was funny any way. It all comes from this fake bloggers who compile fake stuff and publishe them online and they look so real.

What are those qualities you look out for in a man?
Physical fitness first and above every other thing; I love abs, I love a guy that works out; I love a flat tummy.

There’s this talk about a lesbian clique running Nollywood. Have they reached out to you? Have you heard about them?
No.

Recently, you were linked with porn actress, Afrocandy. In fact, she offered you a role in her yet to be shot porn movie. Did you accept?
I’ve not met her but I think she’s a cool babe. I like her guts and Maheeda’s guts as well; they’re doing their own thing. If one way does not work, the other should; they’re paying their dues.

What about the porn movie role?
I can act in a porn movie but I can never go nude myself. If I have to act with somebody and they use a body double to do the acting, that’s fine. But as for me, I can never go nude. If you insist that I must act nude then you have to use a body double. They’ve done it before. That was when I was dancing for Obesere. They superimposed a dog on me and said I was having sex with the dog. And before I knew it everybody was calling me a porn actor! That picture was photo shopped. I can remember a guy called me up and said he had a picture of me having sex with a dog and I told him to go to hell; he wanted to blackmail me, and then he published the story and my family was embarrassed.

Those guys must have been mean. Have you forgiven them?
Yes, I don’t have time for that. I always forgive and forget; that’s why I am a happy person.

So, when are you getting married?
When I see the right man I will get married.

People have this impression that you’re hot between the sheets. How true is that?
I don’t know (blushes). I’m very good though; I believe I’m very good. Do you want to find out? (Giggles).

What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve done sexually?
I’m extremely adventurous believe me… when you’re adventurous you go with the flow and take over whatever happens; you don’t have a mindset of what you want to do; you just flow.

What’s been your greatest sexual experience?
If I tell, you wouldn’t believe it.

Are you not scared that the image you project may hamper your chances of getting married someday?
I’ve never lacked male attention; I’ve had my own fair share but I get scared easily because a lot of things about me might change when I get married. They will be like ‘stop this and stop that.’ Your life’s no longer yours and that scares me. When a guy’s coming after you and he’s saying ‘when we get married you’ll stop all this,’ I get scared. Once I hear that I get scared, I am extremely and fiercely independent.

Does that mean you can’t change?
I can never change and I have no apologies. I need someone who will polish me up in what I’m doing, not somebody who’ll change me. Change me to what? That sounds very unappealing.

Why don’t we see you much in movies these days?
The offers that I get are not paying enough, so I’d rather do other things that get me money.

Other things like what?
I work for myself. I get paid to go out and I have tenants that pay my rent; I’m a landlady.

Money Turns Me On - Actress Lizzy Gold Onuwaje

Lizzy Gold Onuwaje is Miss Detlta State 2006 turned actress. Here is what she told Vanguard about men and wealth
“My former affair didn’t crash because I went into acting. The basic truth is, he doesn’t have money, so I decided to end the relationship. I dumped him in 2013 because he didn’t have much in terms of money and he didn’t have any push as my kind of man.
I like men that are caring. You have to be rich, caring, romantic and nice.
Some men are rich but stingy. Be rich and be willing to spend the money. If I tell you I need anything, let me get the alert. I like alerts (Laughs). Alerts turn me on.
Of course, if you don’t have money, don’t even bother to call my line; don’t even bother to admire my pictures (Laughs). I love money so much.
I can’t marry a poor man. Never! I need a rich man; I don’t want a man that is a bit okay. Money means a lot to me, in fact, money turns me on. I just need to imagine so much money in my account and I’m turned on. When I get a credit alert on my account, Oh my God, I get turned on immediately.

Jonathan Celebrates Peoples Defection from PDP

GEJ

 President Goodluck Jonathan says the defection of some governors, legislators and their supporters to the All Progressive Congress (APC) is a good omen for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), pointing out that since their defection, the PDP has been waxing stronger.

Addressing PDP supporters at the North-central solidarity rally held at the Trade Fair Complex in Minna, Niger State, the President described the defectors as retrogressive.

“If some people have been with the PDP for 14 years and now they said they are leaving for progressive, the question is where are they progressing to? It means in past 14 years, they have been involved in retrogressive activities in the PDP and were problems to us and you will agree with me that now that these retrogressive elements have left, PDP will progress more,” he said.

Jonathan called on Nigerians, especially PDP supporters, not to be frightened by anybody who uses the media to preach violence but to be focus on what PDP has done for the country in the past years.

Vice President Namadi Sambo, in his brief remark, thanked the people of North-central for their support for the PDP in past years and called on them to remain loyal and dedicated to the party.

PHOTO: I Warned the Armed Robbers Not to Use it for Evil – Herbalist laments

 It’s somewhat hard to believe but a well-known herbalist, Emmanuel America, who lives in Owhawha village in Delta State has denied having knowledge of the activities of armed robbers who patronize him.
Mr. America, who was arrested after he was accused of using supernatural means to fortify men of the underworld against bullet shots and other operational hazards.
America, 44, met his waterloo when a gang of arrested armed robbers led a crack team of detectives to him as there ‘juju’ man.
Read the Tribune reports below:
The confessions of the trio, Mr Johnson Samuel Rarire (32), Mr Ovinne Ikwweki (37) and Mr Garba Mohammed (23), after they were caught with a Honda CRV with registration number BZ 115 RSH belonging to one Mrs Ekpesu Celestina, led to the discovery and eventual arrest of the self-confessed herbalist.
Mr Johnson was the driver of the snatched jeep while Mr Ikpeki was a welder. Both are from Delta State while Mr Mohammed hails from Zamfara State.
The jeep was reportedly snatched from Mrs Ekpesu at gun point along Chevron Clinic Road, opposite DBS, Warri at about 6 p.m on March 1.
According to the police, during the parade of the suspects last Monday, Mrs Ekpesu’s 18-year-old son struggled with one of the robbers, but was lucky not to have been shot by the gun-carrying bandits. The boy received much beatings for daring the robbers than Mrs Ekepsu, who was also manhandled.
Mr America, while speaking with journalists, claimed he was not part of the gang, but head of his village’s vigilance group. “It was a surprise o. It was somebody that involved me in this nonsense o,” he said.
The suspect, who was all tears, claimed that a boy that he knew about two weeks came to inform him that he was eased of his job and that he should help him restore it through his magical powers.
“I just did some herbs that I mixed together, the one used to protect oneself from gunshots and dagger wounds. When I did the medicine, I warned them that if they use it to do any bad thing, they are on their own,” the herbalist narrated.
When asked what the charm could do, Mr America, said “it’s just that when somebody shoots you with gun, the bullet will not enter your body. That was the medicine I did for them.”
He denied that he was aware of what they wanted to use the charm for, warning his fellow herbalists to be wary of concocting charms for unknown customers.
Mohammed said he only joined the gang on January 23 and did so to eke some living, given the economic hardship in the country. “I know what they were doing but they said I should join them and get some money, so that I can get a house to stay because where I lived was not good enough,” Mohammed, who had been in Warri for 10 years, lamented.
