'Living in Bondage' star, Merit reveals her beauty secrets

Star of that pioneering Nigerian movie, “Living in Bondage”, Nwabueze-Okonta popularly known as Merit, is not growing older, having been looking utterly 'ravishing' even after 22 years in marriage. And over her 24-year career in the movie industry, the mother of 6 children has learned a number of beauty tips and tricks to keep her looking flawless both on set and on the go.
Now, as she prepares to bid farewell to 2016, Merit shares some of her beauty secrets with Hi Society, revealing, however, everything from her favorite beauty products to the craziest treatment she's tried.
“I try to adjust to any situation I find myself in”, she began.
“I laugh a lot and I apply pure coconut oil on my skin day and night. Sometimes, in cool weather, I go for unadulterated sheabutter,” she added.
Merit, who lost her husband, Chief Okonta, in March this year, after a protracted illness and had a quiet Christmas celebration with her immediate family, also revealed that while her skincare and make-up routines are not incredibly complex, when it comes to her hair, things are slightly more simple because she chooses to wash it just once every five days.


Meet Nollywood actor who doesn't believe in Christmas


While many people are in the festive mood, warming up to bid farewell to 2016, top Yoruba actor, Yemi Fash seems to have a different impression about the Christmas celebration as he doesn't mean anything to him.
In a chat with WG, on what Christmas means to him, the actor said, “Christmas is like every other day. I don’t believe in Christmas or Yuletide. To me, every day is Christmas because there is nothing I will eat on Christmas Day that I have not eaten before. Or there is no place I will take my children to that I have not taken them to before. So to me is all about making yourself happy whenever the opportunity arises”.

On what he has been working on lately, the actor said, he has been busy honouring veterans in the movie industry. “I have been doing a lot in terms of celebrating African veterans in the movie industry through Afro- Heritage Entertainment Award that happens in Texas. And what we do is to celebrate and humour those that have spent from 20 years upwards in the industry. It is not only Nigerians, it’s over Africa. We have honoured the likes of Pet Edochie Kunle Afolayan, Liz Benson among others. The award has two categories, Icon and Legend. The Icon is twenty years above. We do fifteen veterans yearly. So that is what I have been doing late. The industry has been good before during the time of home video and we are getting better” he said.
