2012 most beautiful girl: Isabella Ayuk Speaks On her Alleged romance with Deputy Speaker

The beauty queen was rumored to be in a relationship with Deputy Speaker, House of Reps, Hon Emeka Ihedioha.

Below is her comment in a recent interview:

As an MBGN winner, there will always be stories about one thing or the other. It's a normal thing. The story is hilarious and not true. People should learn to get their facts right. These people actually do not have names or faces. At first, it was the story of how I lied about my age, then came the dethronement story. Now this! Where were these people when I went for MBGN twice and finished top 10 and won best traditional costume award? And in 2012, with determination and persistence, I won and people who were obviously not happy about my victory cooked up stories. I can't bother about what people say because some people are just on this earth to talk about others.

I am not a porn star: Actress Uche Ogbodo

Actress Uche Ogbodo declined soft-porn star Afrocandy’s offer to star in one of her movies.

I, Uche Ogbodo, emphatically state that I am an actress and not a porn star. The fact that I was just experimenting and having fun with the 'Lady Gaga' red hair photo shoot is not an excuse for the likes of AfroCandy to insult me.

If I ever decide to strip in a movie, trust me, it'd be worth it like Halle Berry did in Monster's Ball and Swordfish. Right now I am in talks with a reputable artiste management outfit to represent me and re-invent myself.

Uche Ogbodo.
