Nancy Isime is an award winning TV host, an actress, the executive producer and creator of her show:”The Nancy Isime show” and an all round media personality, through these jobs of hers she’s been able to amass a certain amount of fortune.
Except that for the longest time rumours have been swirling around the internet that her major source of wealth is from being an “ashawo”, and according to a famous IG blog “gist lover” more recently, to a businessman who has chased his wife away from their marital home, due to his affair with Nancy.
Nancy Isime is infamous for her work ethic. If you follow her on IG you would know that at almost every point in time, if she is not on set for a film, she is hosting a show. Nancy Isime is a workaholic, and this is a fact that can be confirmed by a lot of people on the internet.
Gist lover on the other hand is also infamous for making such accusations against women in the entertainment industry, several Twitter users attested to this fact, a day after the faceless blog made these accusations against Nancy Isime. In as much as we know that sometimes these accusations made against women could be true, one can’t help but wander why it’s always women being accused of having suspicious or illegal sources of wealth in that entertainment industry, as evident by the posts of gist lover and several other tabloids.
I mean if you look into the amount of people involved in illegalities like fraud and the likes, you would find out that it’s mostly men involved in these things, and we have such men in the entertainment industry, so why aren’t their sources of wealth being talked about as much as that of the women?
It is normal for women to go through such things, especially in sectors of the society like the entertainment industry, but it’s also saddening that women have to work twice as hard as men, to get to the stages that men get to effortlessly, and still have their efforts downgraded and trivialized by people who know little or nothing about them.
This is one of the drags of gender inequality that women experience on a daily, in the words of Nancy: ” if you are a Nigerian woman with plans to be successful please add these names to your plans so it doesn’t surprise you when it happens: Ashawo, olosho, especially if you decide to be an actress it’s an automaticc naming ceremony if you like to be a virgin”.
It has been there, it is still here and if we don’t do something about it the generations coming after us will only have to deal with worse versions of it.
