Fast-rising Nollywood actress and content creator Ella Emmanuel has opened up about the qualities she looks for in a romantic partner, revealing that stinginess is one trait she cannot tolerate.

Speaking during an interview with Potpourri, the actress said she is drawn to men who are kind, generous, intentional, intelligent and emotionally mature, stressing that character matters more than physical appearance when it comes to building a lasting relationship.

“I love a kind-hearted, generous, intentional and intelligent man. I admire someone who knows what he wants, takes responsibility, respects women, communicates well and is emotionally mature,” she said.

Describing stinginess as a major deal-breaker, Ella added, “One thing I cannot deal with is stinginess. Honestly, if you’re stingy, we probably can’t even be friends, let alone date. I’m naturally generous, so I appreciate someone with the same spirit. Kindness is attractive. Emotional intelligence is attractive. A man with purpose and vision is incredibly attractive.”

The actress also spoke about maintaining her values in Nollywood, saying she has set clear boundaries for herself and will never accept nude roles, regardless of the financial reward.

“I have personal values and boundaries that I won’t compromise. You will never see me taking nude roles or appearing naked in a movie, regardless of the amount of money involved. I believe it’s possible to deliver an outstanding performance without compromising my principles,” she stated.

Reflecting on her acting career, Ella recounted facing rejection, financial challenges and moments of self-doubt on her journey to success. She said those experiences taught her resilience, patience and consistency, helping her focus on personal growth rather than comparing herself to others as she continues to build her career.

101-YEAR-OLD GREAT-GRANDMOTHER ARRESTED FOR SE@LING HARD DR¥GS

Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have arrested a 101-year-old great-grandmother for dealing in illicit drugs and also intercepted cocaine concealed in edible cassava flour popularly known as fufu. In a rare and startling development, NDLEA operatives on Saturday, August, arrested a 101-year-old woman, Esther Ogunmabo, in Ilisan, Ogun state, with retail sachets of skunk, a strain of cannabis weighing 90 grams, which she claims she sells to locals. The centenarian told operatives that she resorted to the illicit drug trade after her provisions shop was razed by fire, adding that one of her daughters, who resides in Lagos, arranges the supply of the substance to her every four days, which she in turn sold in bits. The Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of NDLEA, Brig Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa (Rtd), has, however, directed that the suspect be granted bail and placed on counselling because of her advanced age, while her daughter has been arrested.

WHATSAPP TO START CHARGING NIGERIA BUSINESSES FROM OCTOBER 2026

Businesses using Meta’s WhatsApp Business Platform will begin paying for certain customer messages from October 1, 2026, following a new pricing structure announced by the company. The new policy applies primarily to organisations that use the WhatsApp Business Platform, formerly known as the WhatsApp Business API, to handle customer communications at scale. However, regular WhatsApp users and small businesses using the standard WhatsApp Business app are not the primary targets of the new charges. Under the revised pricing model, fees will vary depending on the type of message businesses send to customers. Utility messages, such as payment notifications, order confirmations and other service-related updates, will cost approximately $0.0101 per message. Marketing messages, meanwhile, will attract a higher charge of about $0.062 per message. The new structure means businesses that rely heavily on WhatsApp for customer engagement, notifications and promotional campaigns may ne...
