Ban Tonto Dike or boycott all her movies? Why?

Muna takes it from behind...

Tonto Dike in a three-some with Jibola Dabo (her dad in the movie, Dirty Secrets) and Muna Obiekwe (her bf in the movie)

People are asking for the outright ban of actress Tonto Dike, and if that's too harsh, then movie watchers should boycott every movie she appears in. Mostly because of her role in the very controversial movie, Dirty Secrets.

I saw part of the movie yesterday, and erm...why are people calling for her ban?....I mean, maka why? As women, we should have dignity if nothing else learn how to support each other.

How can you tell when a man has had penis enlargement?

Ha, mo gbe....what kind of a question is this ke?

Hey Ms Ikeji, quick question for your readers. How can you tell when a man has had penis enlargement? My boyfriend of almost two years recently returned from Switzerland on a business trip and I noticed his jank is almost twice the size it was before. The sex is different these days, a little uncomfortable. He added a bit of weight, but can weight increase a man's penis? I think he had surgery, and I don't like his current size. Can I discuss this with him?
