Yemi Solade, the Nigerian actor, has fired back at an Instagram user who criticised his role in a new film titled ‘5Alive’.

The controversy began when fellow actor Rotimi Salami shared a promotional video on Instagram, showcasing Yemi and co-star Sanusi Izihaq (Apa) in an intimate scene.

Solade appeared to have kissed Izihaq on the cheek in the video that portrayed the two men as lovers.

The footage provoked a chorus of condemnation, with critics accusing the actors of attempting to promote homosexuality.

One critic, known as Dunne Black, launched a personal attack on Yemi, writing in Yoruba, “Mo sorry but ara yin o ya” which translates to, “I’m sorry, but you are not okay”.

Solade responded to the criticism with fierce retorts in Yoruba.

“Orí bàbá ẹ to wà ní ọgbà wèrè lo ń bá wí,” he fired back — meaning “It’s your father’s head in the asylum you are talking to”.

Idowu Phillips, the ace Nigerian actress better known as Mama Rainbow, has penned an open letter of gratitude to God.

The veteran recently took to her Instagram page to share the heartfelt letter alongside footage from her 82nd birthday photoshoot in October.

In the letter, Mama Rainbow appreciated God for her life, acknowledging His guidance and protection since her birth in 1942.

“Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude and humility. Thank You for saving my life and guiding me through every moment since 1942 until this very day,” she wrote.

Mama Rainbow also expressed gratitude to God for His unwavering presence, love, and mercy, which have sustained her through every trial and triumph.

“Your grace, love, and mercy have sustained me through every trial and triumph. Thank You, Father, for Your unwavering presence, for lifting me when I was weak, and for blessing me with the strength to keep moving forward. I am forever grateful for Your protection and faithfulness,” she added.
