I think you've got your pictures mixed up. Isn't that Uche Elendu up there??? Or maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me anyway.

... Wow. So Jumbo is her real last name. Amazing! Always thot that was a nickname of some sort.

as an ardent Uche Jombo fan, I am very disappointed that you did not post a REAL picture of Uche Jombo. The actress picture you posted is NOT Uche Jombo....a simple Google Image search would have supplied you with several images.

@ Vera ( A big fan of your blog - now and then), Onye Igbo and Nneoma (Also a fan in my days as Ababoy - Cover blown), I am really sorry about the mistake! Thanks for spotting it. Funny cos I saw her interview the night before on BEN TV, and though....hmmm, this really isn't her. Picture changed ...Thanks.

@Vera - The Jumbo name, she said as much in her interview.
