Nollywood star, Dakore Egbuson-Akande
Popular actress, Dakore Egbuson has made a true confession which she has kept close to her heart over the years.
The 42 years old Bayelsa State-born mother of two who dropped out of the University “due to incessant strikes”, according to her, once begged a magazine editor not to publish her half nude pictures.
The ambassador for Amnesty International, Amstel Malta and Oxfam of America who has been married to Olumide Akande some 10 years now, disclosed that the incident happened in 2015 when she had gone on a photo shoot for a London based magazine, Black Digital magazine, and posed half nude.
According to her, the photo was meant for the cover of the said magazine and she was initially cool with it, but when she later saw the pictures, on a second thought, she became scared and went to the editor to beg him to please stop the whole deal.
“I felt very safe and liberated during the shoot, then when I saw this image of myself, I loved it but then, I got scared that this image was too risqué, so I begged the editor not to use this image for the cover. Now? I’m not that woman anymore. Be you!” she narrated.
The said picture, which she posted on her social media handle on Thursday, shows Dakore wearing highly revealing pants which also shows sizeable part of her breasts.
