has since dabbled into different trades, including
music, modeling, acting and presenting. Ekubo, on the other hand, hit
the spotlight after coming second place in the 2011
edition of the Mr Nigeria pageant.
Since shooting into limelight three years ago, actor-TV host, Uti
Nwachukwu has managed to stay mostly scandal-free, but recently, this
has changed, as tales about his sexuality are being peddled by soft
sell magazines and blogs.
Uti's friendship with model Alex Ekubo has come under scrutiny, with
some saying their relationship is the reason they're still bachelors.
The 30-year-old has denied being gay, describing the allegations as
hurtful and character damaging. He did this via his twitter page,
saying he's ready to take drastic steps if the rumour mongers don't
stop.
'I'm going to say this just once. All false gossip mongers bout my
sexuality are hereby warned! A scape goat will be
chosen very soon. No threat.' He also vented on facebook, saying 'Who
God has blessed/elevated, no man can curse/bring down.
Once there is a wonderful news about me, the devil's agent try to
interrupt but they always fail cause they use lies. Congrats to the
false rumour mongers. I'll say it once. Be warned. Very Very soon, a
scape goat shall be found.
I pray none of my current or former friends are involved
cause the wrath of the Almighty Jehovah Lord God of Israel will spare
no one. The Egyptian plague shall be child's play
compared to what is coming! They shall know I serve a living God. Same
God that has crowned me, Baba God nooni. To you be all the glory
honour worship adoration and praise forever more! Amen.. I love you
UFC. Remain blessed.'
Source gathered that his outbursts may have been triggered by a post
written by a blogger, Ernest Okezie, of elanmagazines.blogspot.com,
who said he'd had a relationship with Uti. According to him, a lady
who once visited Uti at his residence to try and seduce him, was
rejected, and reportedly caught Uti and Alex in the act. He called
Ekubo Uti's 'wife,' saying that was the reason neither
are romantically linked with any women.
With this development, Uti joins the likes of Denrele Edun, Charly
Boy, Rukky Sanda and Tonto Dike, all of whom, at
different times, have had to battle rumours swirling about their sexuality.
