Do Bob Manuel Udokwu and
Dakore look alike???
My best friend, Busola, is absolutely sure that Dakore looks like a dude. In fact, to be more specific, she said she looks like a female Bob-Manuel Udokwu. And with make-up on, she looks like a drag queen. Busola does not believe that Dakore is ugly; she thinks she okay-looking, but she still looks like a dude.
Honestly speaking, I kinda see a lil resemblance between them. However, my problem with Dakore is not that she looks like a female Bob-Manuel, but rather that she won the Best Actress award here in Maryland, USA. Some months ago, some kinda Naija awards thing was held here in Maryland (you know Maryland people like feelin’), and Dakore won Best Actress. What da hell?!
If it weren’t for Busola mentioning her striking resemblance to Bob-Manuel a few months ago, I woulda never even know the chic’s name. I wouldn’t consider her an A-List celeb; abi am I just ignorant of her achievements? So I’m wondering how she won the best actress award. I mean, who was she competing against? Herself? What happened to Stella Damasus, Chioma Chukwuka, Genevieve, Omotola, Oge Okoye, etc? Where were they when Dakore won? Anyways, lemme not talk too much. Those people that gave the awards musta been smoking some la la la la. That is the only plausible explanation I can come up with. Either that or her father paid them huge money, and she was the only one who wasn’t shooting five or six movies @ the time.
So anyways, the issue of Dakore came up today because Busola was reading someone’s blog, and in it, the girl mentioned that she went for Dakore’s birthday party, and that Dakore was really pretty. That was how Busola went off the deep end o! Homegirl was cussin in my ear, “no the f*ck she’s not pretty! She looks like a dude! Why will this girl lie? She’s just kissin’ her ass. Dakore ain’t f*ckin pretty blah blah blah”. I couldn’t stop laughing. I had to tell her to take a deep breath and relax.
Needless to say, she does not think that Bob-Manuel is ugly. She just doesn’t think we need to have a male and female version – especially if the female version still looks like a dude.
So what do y’ll think: Striking resemblance? Or just Busola’s insanity showing it’s ugly head?
p.s. I have been instructed (by Busola) to clarify what I meant in my previous post when I said she could be a real bitch. I meant (and still mean) that she can have a bitchy attitude. I think Joel’s comment may have lead Busola to believe that Joel thinks she is a bitch who sleeps around…instead of one who is just a bitch. Yeah, drama, right? I know.
Night Y’ll.
I’ve got a new Bible (Women of Faith) that is calling my name. Oh, the colorful pages! Can’t wait to go highlight some more verses. Yippee!
Hey Vera,
Firstly, my idea of a bitch girl is not one that sleeps around, rather a nagging, snooty, tawdry, obnoxious, uncultured girl.
Secondly, y’all ladies have no business rating other gals’ beauty/ugliness – leave that to us guys, pls!
Besides, Dakore is my girlfriend and a flying babe. She’s brilliant although not without flaws – who is without flaws anyway?
Missing you, Vera!
This is very funny and I have to say, I do agree with Busola. Dakore is not my definition of beauty in any sense. She is just alright and gosh! Her eyebrows, the way she lines her brows? Let’s just say, she needs a lot of lessons in that department.
LOL @ Desola, she needs a lot of lessons in lining her eyebrows? HaHaHa!!!
They look like twins to me… Very similar features.
hmmm….. I never actually noticed that they do look alike. Usually I’m too busy balking at the appalling acting to notice anything else.
Thanks for checking out my blog.
The older lady on the cover of the video is so funny. She usually plays village women in Naija movies. When I saw “Mama G” she made me laugh until I cried.
make bigL no hear una as una dey dismantle dakore for here o. (infact the next time he talks about dakore i’ll just tell him she looks like a dude). this bobo gbadun dakore o, although i think its more about fantasizing about getting some than anything else. same goes for rita dominic, he cant help but talk about her ass. anyway, i go better.
about that movie, mama G was kinda funny but by the middle of part two the movie started getting annoying. anyway, she is still,”MAMA G, G for GENERAL, GENARAL IN CALABAR, GENERAL IN PH, GENERAL IN LONDON, AND ALL THE OTHER SPECIAL JOINTS AROUND…”
that woman loves her NKWOBI and ODEKU no be small.
Shes alright I guess , but im with you on the awards issue. A lot of Nigerian women need the eyebrow 101 lesson.
Ah ah Vera…that was harsh….
Ur girl Busola should take things easy on Dakore…
She is a pretty girl in my opinion…I dont think she looks manly….she actually has quite delicate features…
Anyway about the award, I think her acting is ok…i dont see it as any worse than most up and coming nollywood stars like Ini Edo and co…
Oh well, we all can agree to disagree on this one
I kinda see the resemblance now. U’re tripping ‘cos u can’t wait to start highlighting ur bible? Vera, na wa for u. As in, seriously is that ur new coloring book or som’n. Yeye chile. Have a blessed weekend, u know i luff u, right?
They do look alike now that you mention it. Its such an uncanning resemblance !!
Ehn! I am sick of haters, I dont even know who Dakore is but I wouldnt hate on her, she’s aiight looking though but she aint all that. Your friend shld be easy on her poor soul plz.
So if I became a celeb (Not that I am not anyways) is that how yall are gonna be talking behind my back? I know you got my back anyways!!
When do we start reading the bible. I have highlighted mine to the extent of me not remembering I have read the verse, Praise the Lord sister!!
I’m tired of Dakorim and every other naija actor/actresse’s fake british and american accent when some of them havent ever stepped the airport or hanks anuku who got deported after selling weed in chicago for 3 months!!! i mean dakorim is pretty and all… i think the britico nonsense is just annoying.. oh my God don’t get me started on ramsey nouah!!!Holy Makossa!!!!
you are all soooooooo sad,you’re busy beefing someone who’s getting ahead with her life,if you take the time you spend bashing dakore maybe you’ll get ahead in life….shame on you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, up until now, I really thought Dakore was Bob Manuel’s sister…that’s how much I think they look alike.
