Former Mr Nigeria, Ugo Nwokolo, has spoken about the challenges he faced in the Nigerian entertainment industry, including receiving romantic advances from both men and women. In a recent interview with media personality Lucky Udu, Nwokolo shared his experience of being approached by industry figures who expected him to "play ball" to become famous. He revealed that he was told he had to compromise his values to achieve success.
Nwokolo's journey in the entertainment industry began with numerous romantic advances from both men and women. He, however, did not consider these advances unusual, having dealt with similar situations before. According to him, some of the advances came with pressure and threats that his refusal to comply could affect his chances of achieving fame. An industry figure told him that he had to "play ball" to become famous after he rejected his sexual advances.
The former beauty king shared that one of the men approached him and said he was acting stubborn and that if he didn't do what his mates were doing, he would not become known and might remain unknown for over 10 years. When asked what his mates were doing, the man said Nwokolo had to "play ball" by bending down for his fellow man to do something, which left him taken aback.
Nwokolo also revealed that some people he looked up to in the industry advised him to compromise his values, claiming he was just acting stubborn. He faced challenges because he continually refused to give in to the pressures. Despite the difficulties, Nwokolo remained committed to his values and eventually found love with his wife, Precious.
The former Mr Nigeria credited his wife with helping him change his lifestyle and end his era of promiscuity. He revealed that he had dated numerous women before meeting Precious and that his body count was high. However, with Precious by his side, he has been able to turn his life around and leave his promiscuous past behind.
Nwokolo expressed his gratitude to his wife, saying that if he loses her today, there is nobody who can replace her in his life. He described Precious as a blessing and acknowledged that she has been instrumental in helping him become a better person. The couple recently tied the knot, and Nwokolo's story serves as a testament to the power of love and commitment.
Nwokolo's story highlights the challenges faced by individuals in the entertainment industry, particularly in terms of maintaining their values and integrity. His experience serves as a reminder that success does not have to come at the cost of one's values and that finding love and support can be a powerful catalyst for positive change.
