The Silverspoon

Actor, director and Lagos lawmaker Desmond Elliot, in collaboration with producers Anita Odia and Chinney Love Eze, are set to take a new movie, ‘The Silver Spoon’ to the cinema on Friday, September 22, 2017.

The movie which stars Wole Ojo, Yvonne Jegede and Jennifer Eliogu among other cast tells the story of a spoilt but bright hardworking and serious minded girl of 24 years, Ella Henshaw who is to take over the family business. However, she met a disgruntled job seeker, Segun, played by Wole Ojo who finally gets a job in her company and discovers that the job was not what he expected.

Wole Ojo said young people can connect with the movie. “One of the unique things about ‘The Silver Spoon’ is in its storytelling,” said Ojo.

“A normal story told from a different point of view. It’s a really educative and relatable movie which a lot of young people out there can connect with. I think it is definitely a must watch.”

Yvonne Jegede who played the role of Sade in the movie said: “Through this movie I learnt that finding and staying true to oneself is really important. It is a genuinely well written and educating movie that would reach out and connect with everyone.”

Jennifer Eliogu who played the mother of Ellen Henshaw described the movie as simple.

“I have been involved in so many movies and most times I play the role of a mother and I have lots of fun doing that but for me the simplicity of this movie did it, there are no complications, just a great story and the fact that it preaches love sets it apart from the usual stories.”

The Silver Spoon heads to every cinema nationwide come September 22nd, 2017.

‘Morayo can’t grow on me’ — Kess joins critics of Wizkid’s album

Published

By

Kess Adjekpovu, former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, has criticised ‘Morayo’, Wizkid’s fifth studio album.

Last Friday, the Grammy-winning Nigerian singer delivered the album after months of teasing.

‘Morayo’ is a tribute to Jane Dolapo Balogun, Wizkid’s late mother, who passed away in August 2023.

In the project, Wizkid featured Asake, Brent Faiyaz, Jazmine Sullivan, Anaïs, and Tiakola.

Kess shared his thoughts on the new album in a series of X posts on Tuesday.

The reality star said he fell asleep while attempting to listen to the album.

“Decided to listen to ‘Morayo’. Sleep catch me. Up and grateful. ‘Morayo’ still never sweet me. I guess it can’t grow on me,” he said.

‘Morayo’ has garnered both praise and criticism from listeners since its release.

While some music lovers have appreciated the project, commending its unique sound and artistic direction, critics have pointed out various aspects of the album that didn’t quite meet their expectations.

Kess was a housemate on season seven of the BBNaija reality show in 2022.

Helen Ukpabio demands N200bn damages in defamation suit against Bloody Civilian

Published

By

Helen Ukpabio, the founder of Liberty Gospel Church, has demanded N200 billion in damages from the singer Bloody Civilian after the latter alleged that she encourages child lynching.

Earlier on Friday, Bloody Civilian, born Emoseh Khamofu, had alleged that Ukpabio “literally made people burn their children alive”.

Khamofu commented on a post celebrating the cleric’s 60th birthday.

She also posted a YouTube documentary wherein Ukpabio’s methods and ideology were criticised.

Reacting to her tweet, Imabong, Ukpabio’s daughter, threatened to take legal action against Khamofu if she didn’t delete the post.

“I give you the next five hours to take this down, or I will educate you in court!” Imabong wrote.

But in a letter from her legal representative, Ukpabio described the allegations as “reckless, satanic, and libellous”.

She demanded that the singer issue a retraction and public apology on all social media platforms and ten national and international dailies within 72 hours.

The cleric also requested that the singer pay N200 billion as “damages for distress, trauma, pain and anguish”.

The letter added that the demands must be met in 72 hours.

She claimed the allegations had been investigated by the police and have been concluded to be “grossly false”.

“Our client’s attention has been drawn to your reckless, satanic, and libellous posts on X (formerly Twitter), one of the world’s largest social media platforms,” the letter reads in part.

Responding to the letter, Blood Civilian made light of it by teasing that she is offering other services like comedy to afford the damages.

“This December I will be adding the following to my services: weddings, standup comedy and settling disputes,” she wrote.

Plantashun Boiz attempted reunions failed because I wasn’t invited, says Blackface

Blackface, the Nigerian dancehall singer, says Plantashun Boiz, a defunct music group, multiple attempts to reunite failed because he was not included.

Formed in 2000 with 2Baba and Faze, Plantashun Boiz disbanded in 2004 but briefly reunited in 2007 for an album.

In a recent episode of the ‘Curiosity Made Me Ask’ podcast, the host asked Blackface if there was any chance that the group might come back together.

The singer disclosed that his colleagues had attempted to reunite without him but were unsuccessful.

“Without me, they have tried and they have failed. Many times. You saw them in all those shows that they were going,” he said.

“They tried but they failed. But what I must say is I’m the plantation. So let it be known. Forget the fake memo that they spread before.”

In September, Blackface called for the reunion of the defunct music group.

He urged fans to join the mission, emphasising that “unity is strength, not division”.

“My people oya make una talk put mouth for this matter! We are on a mission for world peace and it’s not a small-time thing,” he said in pidgin English.

Since 2015, Blackface constantly tackled 2Baba for recording 2004 hit ‘African Queen’ which he claimed he wrote.

In 2017, he argued that 2Baba “sabotaged” his career in the music industry.
