Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde now COVID free, lists helpful drugs It is good news for the Ekeinde family as multiple award winning Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade, and her children are now corona virus free. This comes after the 42 year old curvy movie star and mum of 4 took to social media to disclose that she contracted the virus, while also stating that her kids had it too, but they are now well. Omotola further mentioned some of the drugs and lifestyle that helped her come out of the ailment: ‘Vitamins – VitC (1000ml) , vitD and Zinc daily and please WEAR A MASK. Please maintain physical distancing, wear a mask properly and wash your hands regularly.’ She also said a lot of people have the virus but treated it as malaria, and urged the general public to go for proper testing and take precaution. Read her statement here… ‘Grateful ! 🙏🏽 I am grateful to God Almighty the Lord of lords for all He has done for my family and I. He is truly a dependable Friend if you trust in Him. I’ll also like to thank you all for your love, prayers, calls, messages, posts and thoughts. All truly appreciated. My kids and I are fine and COVID free now, and I do not take the experience for granted at all. If you still don’t believe this virus is real, I pray you don’t experience it to believe. If you ever feel ill during this pandemic, pls know there’s nothing to fear or be ashamed of…you’re not alone. Pls get TESTED immediately, it could save your life. Many have had covid and treated it as fever, malaria etc and luckily they’ve been fine….( note that symptoms are different and viral loads vary). However, a problem with that is they have probably gone on to infect others, since they were not monitored or guided. The average span for a covid infection if not severe is 2 weeks (14 days ) when you should totally isolate so as not to infect others. Make sure to use vitamins – VitC (1000ml) , vitD and Zinc daily and please WEAR A MASK. Please maintain physical distancing, wear a mask properly and wash your hands regularly. I’ll also like to thank the amazing lead Dr who treated me Dr Folarin Opawoye; and finally , my husband whose Love and Faith nursed us back to health. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEiXhVKlt7L/?igshid=492h8v0glqf

GOtv Boxing Night 20: Scorpion, Baby Face Promise Explosive Ring Return

West African Boxing Union (WABU) welterweight champion, Rilwan “Baby Face” Babatunde, and national super featherweight champion, Ridwan “Scorpion” Oyekola, have promised to return to the ring in an explosive fashion at GOtv Boxing Night 20, scheduled to hold on 12 October. The two shinning stars are billed to fight at the event slated for the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium in Lagos. In his last fight at GOtv Boxing Night 19, Baby Face famously knocked out Ghana’s Eden Biki, who was punched into unconsciousness in the 10th round. The WABU champion next opponent is Jafaaru Suleiman. Speaking in Lagos on Monday, the WABU champion said he’s already looking beyond Sulaimon, whom he said he plans to use as preparation for the African Boxing Union title bout. “Sulaimon is not an opponent in the real sense. He’s a training apparatus. I’m looking beyond the fight, as my target is the ABU title,” he said. Oyekola, whose last engagement saw him dethrone long-reigning champion, Taofeek “Taozon” Bisuga at GOtv Boxing Night 18 in Ibadan, said his next opponent, Sikiru “Omo Iya Eleja” Shogbesan, will suffer the same fate as Bisuga, who suffered a first-round technical knockout after falling thrice. The Ibadan-based boxer, who spoke in a phone chat, advised Shogbesan to pull out of the bout or risk being beaten legless. “There is no dispute about me being the best in my category. Bisuga is well placed to tell Shogbesan how I made him see stars. If Shogbesan ignores my advice, the walls of the Indoor Sports Hall will appear to him as wobbling by the time I finish with him,” said Scorpion. GOtv Boxing Night 20 will be headlined by the much anticipated pairing of ABU lightweight king, Oto “Joe Boy” Joseph, and WABU champion, Rilwan “Real One” Oladosu, who face each other in the ABU title bout. Also on the card is the national bantamweight title bout between Sadiq Adeleke and Opeyemi “Sense” Adeyemi. Other bouts include a national welterweight challenge a national light heavyweight challenge bout between Adewale “Masevex” Masebinu and Kabiru “KB Godson Towolawi; and a national featherweight challenge bout between Tope “TP Rock” Musa and Olusegun “Embargo” Moses. Graduates of GOtv Boxing NextGen Search 5 will also make their debut at the event as Alaba “Elybow” Omotola, best boxer of the competition, will take on Bolaji “Fight to Finish” Abdullahi in a national lightweight challenge contest. There is also an all-female bout as Cynthia “Bobby Girl” Ogunsemilore will square up against Aminat “Smart” Yekini in a super featherweight challenge. Read the full article

Burna boy

In ‘Omo’ it is believed that Burna is talking to Ayo Falodun. He sings about a gorgeous girl of his admiration, he words his admiration so beautifuly with lines like”fine like omotola, ‘getting money like Otedola’ (amen) “Girl you know you sey you ah murder them you are real killy killy(El chapo)”. He goes deeper to compliment her personality where he says ‘she no dey find anyone that’ll control her’. Burna, unfortunately is not the only one pining for her attention in lines like ‘Girl everybody dey look when you enter the building’, ‘Girl ebe you be the talk of the town really really’, He does seem to want to be taken seriously though this could be deduced from lines like 

‘And you should take a chance and try me It should be pon me that you are whining’ ‘No other girl can satisfy me Girl me and you could be vibing But you keep playing these games and hiding’ In conclusion Burna boy has said it all with this paragraph ‘Baby show me what you can do If I light your candle Shey you go gon fit tando Make I show you what I can do As long as you come through I go give you bamboo now Baby your body dey for my eye x2’

Lola heard her mother's call, and felt her shaking her awake from her sleep.  "Lily, come.  Come quick!" Omotola called her sleeping child. "Mama..." Lola stirred from her sleep, and rubbed her eyes.  She couldn't believe it.  It was really her mother!  She pinched herself, because she believed she must be dreaming.  No, this was real.  "Mommy, is it really you?" "Sssshhh... come my darling.  Come and see." Omotola walked out of Lola's bedroom suite, which was surprisingly wide open.  Lola grabbed her robe and hastened after her mother.  "Where are we going?" she asked. "Sssshhh... follow me." Lola followed her mother up the stairway that led to the penthouse suite of the Grand Menage Hotel, Port Harcourt.  The door to the penthouse was also wide open.  Lola entered with her mother. She could hear the moanings of a woman, and knew that it was the sound of love making.  But who was the woman, and what was she doing in Danny's suite?  She heard Danny moaning, and she walked in to the sound of his climax.  She was horrified to see that the woman he had just pleased was not her!

Actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde hints on her plan to pick up her already abandoned musical career

Star actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has disclosed that she’ll be returning to the music studio soon.

She made this known in an interview with Punch‘s Ademola Olonilua of Saturday Beats.

When asked if she’ll revisit her music career, she said:

“You can call that my first love if you want. I know a lot of people get shocked when I say that I love singing more than acting, but that is just the truth and I would have to speak my truth. I know that people think I have not ‘blown’ (made it big) as a singer so they expect me to just say acting is my love, but I would shock the world soon.”

She responded with “Oh! Of course.” when asked if her last statement meant she’ll be returning to the studio soon.

On why she took a break from Nollywood:

“I was focusing on some other things which were based on building. I felt that it was the right time for the stakeholders in the industry to begin to invest in the industry aside from producing movies. My first love was not producing movies. I like real estate and I studied Estate Management. I actually do real estate as a business and I thought about how I could merge real estate and entertainment.

That is what I wanted to do. I wanted to do real estate in entertainment and that is what I fell back into. I just want to get properties and begin to think of the process of building cinemas, film studios or film villages.”

On how she feels after winning AMVCA Best Actress:

“I can’t capture the way I feel about winning the AMVCA award in one word. I feel like I have stayed away for so long and the project that I took was worth coming back for. It was a labour of love and it was really hard to do that project. Right now, it just feels great that I did the right thing and hopefully, I would find projects that would challenge me and would even be better than that.”

Jim Iyke: Actor says ban of A-List actors in 2004 caused a decline in the general prosperity of Nollywood

According to the actor, the vacuum created by the the ban is yet to be filled till date.

In 2004, eight A-List Nollywood actors, including Ramsey Nouah, Genevieve Nnaji, RMD and Jim Iyke, were banned by marketers for charging huge fees.

During an interview with Pulse Nigeria for his Oga Work app, Jim Iyke talked about the ban and its impact years later.

According to the actor, the vacuum created by the the ban is yet to be filled till date. He also said that the ban led to a decline in the general prosperity of Nollywood.

Read interview below:

On the 'powerful' marketers

When we were banned, so to speak, they forgot that the power that be then was transitional. It's not real power. It's something that was emerging, almost non-existent.

To think you have enough power to ban someone and totally shut down what they stand for, what they are gifted with, the joy they bring to themselves, not only as a challenge and a responsibility, but to the world in general, is downright evil. And they paid for it drastically, if you ask me.

The ban was a blessing to him and made him stronger

These were men who thought that what we were asking for at that point was undeserving, so they went ahead and banned us. But you know what? It made us stronger. It made me stronger.

It made me begin to look for other opportunities, do things that I didn't think was conceivable, meet people that I didn't know knew me and wanted to do business with me, travel the world, broaden my horizon. It was the greatest blessing of my life.

It ushered in a new group of actors and actresses and created new opportunities, no doubt. It was a welcome development.

The way they went about it was totally wrong and demeaning, but it also created a huge vacuum because a lot of us actually started investing our time and resources outside the industry, which paid off tremendously.

 He says the ban brought a decline in Nollywood's profitability

The gap is still felt till tomorrow. They have not been able to fill it, I dare say. And it has brought a general decline in the general prosperity of Nollywood as well.

Because that back to back thing, that availability really declined and the people that were coming in came in with a great deal of skepticism as regards loyalty. Because do me, you would probably do it to the next person. So they took measures not to fall victim as well, and together, it has been a very smart turnout.

 Jim Iyke doesn't think the ban ended well for the marketers

And these guys [marketers] were not properly trained in the business of filmmaker, so with time, there was redundancy and they started to fizzle out.

Economically, it was not something you could do. They thought they had the power, but they didn't. It was not you the world wanted to see, it was us. It's not you that hold the real power, it's us.

It's not you that commanded the real respect, it's us. And the propensity of this entity? It was us. So at the end of the day, it was a terrible underestimation of the kind of power we swayed at that time.

 On lessons to be learnt from the ban

I think it's a great lesson to be learnt in history that you can't wake up a monster that you don't have the power to tame. They woke up a monster in all of us at the time, that monster is still there. The moral lesson of it is still etched on my mental mindset.

Nollywood has suffered tremendously for that singular act of mutiny because we really didn't deserve it at that time.There's always a table and there's always civility, and two misunderstood groups can always sit down and meet each other half way. But they thought they had the power to shut our lives down.

At the end of the day, this was the only business they knew and when the audience that had the greatest power of all demanded to see us back on the platform, it was late.

We came back with a renewed energy and together - I think that was the only time we ever amalgamated effort - and decided that this would never happen again in our histroy.

Half of them have gone broke. Seriously, check the history. They have fallen on the road side. Of the pioneer members of Nollywood, I promise you that 90% are doing far better than all of them put together.

A lesson we should all learn in life; appreciate what you have and treat it good. Treat the source of your income well, the universe will respond in kind and give a returns that is worthy.

 The G8 Ban

Popularly called the G8, the banned actors were Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Richard Mofe Damijo, Genevieve Nnaji, Emeka Ike, Ramsey Nouah, Nkem Owoh, Stella Damasus and Jim Iyke.

These actors were banned by marketers for charging huge fees. Back in the days, the marketers had their bank account details and would pay fees into their accounts even before negotiations.

As as a result of this, most actors had a backlog of productions to deliver on. In a bid to curb this, the marketers decided to ban these actors from starring in a movie for one year.

Ramsey Nouah thinks the ban birthed the new Nollywood

During an interview with Pulse, Ramsey Nouah who was also among the banned actors, said the ban gave birth to the cinema.

"The cinema started and then we started making movies for the cinemas since the DVD market was beginning to think that they owned it [all] and could decide to turn someone's life around," he said.

"We just delved into it [cinema business] and as you can see, an alternative market. Now the DVD market is almost dead and gone. There's so much piracy going on there. It's not a regulated market so even if you make your big movies and you want to take it to DVD, it's selling little or nothing."

 Following the ban, Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and Jim Iyke went on to become musicians. The timing of this decision made it difficult to ascertain if they always had a passion for music or turned to it as a backup plan.

Nevertheless, 14 years later, most of the banned actors have gone ahead to win awards, become producers and directors of successful movies, and feature in successful films.

Jim Iyke will be seen next in the upcoming movie, "Seven and a Half Dates."
