To say Nollywood stars have had their fair share of trials and tribulations in the hand of the media is an understatement. Some have been through the fire and are still smarting from the experience. The latest to be hit is popular Nollywood star and Glo ambassador Uche Jombo.
Some weeks ago a certain media house, News of the People based in Ojodu, circulated a story that the actress had undergone an abortion at the advanced stage of 6months for a certain Okechukwu Uche. Shaken by the news, Nollywooduncut.com decided to track Uche concerning the matter and the actress who was most upset, denied the allegations vehemently. ‘How can I abort a 6 month pregnancy? It is a bloody lie! I do not know how someone can wake up in the morning and his plan is just to destroy others with his poisonous pen! I can not tell you how this story has affected me emotionally and psychologically but I have handed the matter over to my lawyer and it is in court now! When pressed further Uche said, ‘I have issued a press release to the necessary media houses and have also been advised not to discuss the details of the case but I can tell you that I am suing them (News of the People) for one hundred billion naira!
Further efforts to get her to speak were rebuffed with the actress informing me that she was going for a well deserved rest in the United States in the coming week. She however directed me to her lawyer, Victor Ukutt Esq. who she said will handle the matter from now on.
Nollywooduncut tracked him down and he intimated me that the media house had already been written formally to retract and publicly apologize to the Star and failure to do this would result in them being served. When asked if the media house had complied and the lawyer said ‘No! So we have no option but to go ahead, sue them and summon them to court on the matter. We will do so formally on Tuesday 16th February 2010’. ‘And how much are you suing them for?’ He replies; ‘100 billion naira!’! I wonder if the media house can pay and voice that out to which he answers, ‘They should have thought of that when they were writing malicious stories about my client! We intend to pursue this matter to the fullest extent of the law till justice is done’. Meanwhile we at Nollywooduncut.com intend to keep you updated on this saga.

uche watches too many tv.....na today?? for naija? abegi?(llolz)
100billion is a bit ambitious....goodluck to her
really unfair wat these journalist do but 100Billion? haba thats too much, even if they sell all their staff they still wont get that anyways its a lesson 4 others
clearly she's not going to get that amount, but I like that she's going after these useless so-called media/tabloid/soft sells. Even if Uche had an abortion its her bloody business, not theirs to broadcast anyhow... radios without wire... Besides anyone with half a brain can tell it's a false story, it's not easy for this woman to lose weight, so how can she be so svelte these days and allegedly juat had an abortion. The same Uche that can look at puffpuff and swell up for 3 months, abeg the should talk betta tin
100 billion naira? it sounds very funny. How many big companies can afford that talkless of a newspaper organisation.
Have a lovely week Linda and more power to your elbow.
A hundred billion ke?.. she didn't even settle for hundred million..I'm sure the media house wanted to use her to sell their magazine..It's really bad sha,considering that she's still single.. I'm sure that's why she's so bitter.. lol.. Bad things happen, people talk, gossip, lie.. Mke she relax..

This same News Of The People was responsible for the rumors that Asa was gay and she's suing for N700 million.
I say ride on. Shut them down abeg. Let's see how they wriggle themselves out of N100,0700,000,000 billion.
They just can't go round publishing malicious reports and retracting them after their f**ked up tabloids have sold and made them richer.
lol. Usually, when people sue they ask for an amt way more than what they want...so that even if the judge decides to award 1/2 or part of the amt for n e reason, they still hit big.
u people are so fuuny. lawyers just make up such amounts for a laugh not that they expect their clients will be awarded that amount so u guys take a chill pill.
OMG ! This is too funny.. Ohhhh lmao! too funny abeg. She's suing media for ojodu or werever u called it for 100bill... hahahahahaha oh my !

You ignorant Nigerians that like to belittle people should shut the fuck up. She is suing for 100 billion, you can go and die!
I think I shall revive my damn blog and discuss you people trashing morons
they deserve it. news of the world writes shit. i always tell ppl not to buy it. they always end up apologizing every week after writing fake stories. she's not oping on money it's jst to warn them. it's the same way they said eucharia sued her husband 100mill but it was just for damages...she was feeding her husband she knows he doesn't have money. that's what uche is doing too. these newspapers need to be sued for writing rubbish.
pray they dont slam her with juju
LONG THROAT. SEE WETIN E! DEY CAUSE. TELEVISION KILL HER!
