Genevieve Nnaji has been a prominent fixture in the Nigerian film industry for over 20 years, primarily as an actor.
Her contributions to filmmaking have received several awards and nominations over the course of her career. In recent years, she has moved into film production, acting as writer, financier, and producer through her production company, The Entertainment Network (T.E.N). “Lionheart” is her directorial debut.
In an interview with Women and Hollywood, the star actress made many women and men in Nigeria and abroad proud as she aligned herself with the feminist movement.
When asked to name her favorite woman-directed film and why. She said; Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman.” It was powerful and strong, and at the same time, feminine and sexy.
“I’m a proud feminist who embraces her femininity. I feel sometimes women are made to feel self-conscious and ashamed of their womanhood. Perhaps like “Wonder Woman,” we may wake up one day to discover that it is our superpower, and then we would be unstoppable”.
On the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements, the Nollywood diva said she has noticed; “How quickly the oppressed have risen to the top, and yet the train has not stopped. If anything, they continue to create amazing content.”
“History has shown that in almost every situation where a group of people or a demographic is being oppressed, it’s usually because the oppressors are threatened by the potential of the oppressed to be great. I’m happy women all over the world are discovering their superpower and turning “why me?” into “not me.”
Nigerian lawyer, First Baba Isa is upset with men shaming women for being single. Read his post below.
“YOU ARE GETTING OLD O… YOU WILL REMAIN IN YOUR FATHER’S HOUSE.”
I find it very disgusting when I see young men going around making jokes, trolling ladies and trying to make them feel guilty for being single. Many of these dudes have even perfected this art into a manipulative tool.
Small thing, “you are getting old o, you will remain in your father’s house” or “that is how they will do and remain in their father’s house”. Abegi!
You toast girl she no gree, then you go, “that is how you will do and remain in your father’s house”. If she doesn’t reply your chats or texts, if she doesn’t pick your calls, if she refuse to visit you, if she refuse to send you nudes, if she refuse to take your rudeness; “leave that girl, she will remain in her father’s house… bla bla bla.”
Uncle, you are you married? Are all your sisters married? All the girls that accepted your toasting, sent you nudes, washed your smelling boxers, pound yam for you and gave you snake-in-the-monkey-shadow style on bed, which one did you marry?
Is her father’s house a prison? Leave her to remain there na. Abi is her father complaining to you?
Anyway, grand commander and identifier of girls who will remain in their fathers’ house, we greet you. I just pray that ladies grow more confidence to shove this rubbish down the throats of men.
Instagram comedian Samuel Animashaun popularly known as Broda Shaggi has opened up on how he got the idea to start a career as an Instagram comedian and how the act has brought him fame and wealth.
In an interview with Funsho Arogundade of PM Express and other journalists, the University of Lagos Graduate of Creative Arts shared his rise to fame as well as his future plans.
Read excerpts from the interview below:
Tell us how your journey into comedy begins?
Comedy has always been something I loved since I was a kid. As a child, people always compliment me and tell me how hilarious I was. So, as I grow older, I always dreamt of doing something creative and different from what everybody else were doing. That is how I came across the several characters I have developed through my skits.
At what point did you decide to focus on the comedy business?
I made that decision in December 2017 with Broda Shaggi’s character. Although I recently shot into limelight, I have been doing comedy skits for about five years. I actually started acting in comedy dramas while I was still a student at the University of Lagos. I was very popular in school and I remember people saying things like this guy will blow in the industry.
In school, I was just determined and certain that I was going to make my mother proud. My father was an actor before his death as well as a teacher in Mayflower Junior School, Ikenne, Ogun State, where he taught theatre, dance and music. I decided to focus more on acting because I know I am very good at it and it would be a good means for survival. So, while still in school at the University of Lagos, I was doing the regular style of comedy and skits but that did not bring fame my way, so I played with the ‘agbero’ style and it worked like magic.
How easy was it fitting perfectly into this Agbero style?
As a trained actor, I was to create characters and make them believable. Acting the character of an Agbero? In reality, I do not have any link to such lifestyle but I am in the comedy business in order to make a difference.
Before the Broda Shaggi character became popular, I had toyed with other characters like ‘Inspector Perry’. That was the first character I created back then when I was still in the university. I also always uploaded the skits on Instagram as well. After that, I created other characters like ‘Akanni Ibadan’ and ‘Lecturer Dele’. All these characters came into existence before Broda Shaggi but they never gained much recognition.
How did you come about the name Broda Shaggi?
The idea of Broda Shaggi came to me in December, 2017, when I went to my mechanic. While he was fixing my car, I overheard some guys talking. One of them asked the other to buy something for him but his friend refused, so he jokingly asked the guy, ‘Are you okay, have you forgotten that you were once my apprentice’.
He said it in Yoruba and sounded like a lout. I noticed everyone around was laughing because of the way he spoke and his mannerism. I liked the way he spoke and that was how I got the idea. The next thing I did was to get a name that would suit the character. I thought of Musiliu, then Shaggi Don Baba, but eventually, I decided to use Broda Shaggi.
There is this belief that Instagram comedians rarely connect with the live audience. Is that the case with you too?
Before I became an Instagram comedian, I had been into acting. That was what I studied in school. I have been acting in movies. I have done many works for ROK Studios and Africa Magic. I had featured in many Nollywood movies before I gained fame as a Instagram comedian. Some of the movies I have acted in included Dear Mummy B, Unfinished Business, and I was in Eniola Badmus’ recently released film, Ghetto Bred.
So your area of strength is comedy?
Actually, I can deliver any role given to me. Back then as a student at the University of Lagos, I acted in various stage plays. In fact, while I was in school, I had to take part in those stage plays in order to fend for myself. I did them to survive as a student.
We were taught about music, visuals art and theatre art. I was also into visual art and that is how I honed my skills as a painter. Initially, I directed all my strength to my paintings but I did not sell them as I expected, so I had to switch and embrace comedy.
At a point, I formed a group in school called, ‘The Stage Addicts’, it comprised of about 10 of us. We went for various shows and were privileged to perform before dignitaries like the former governor of Lagos State and ex-President Goodluck Jonathan. We did this just to survive as students. I also write scripts and direct. I am saying all this to prove that I am not limited to Instagram comedy alone.
What inspires the stories behind your skits?
I am not an activist but when you watch most of my skits, you will see that beyond the comic, I am actually passing a message. My background also inspires my skits. I have always wanted to put a smile on my parents’ face knowing the situation of things at home. Basically, what inspires me is trying to be different and making a living out of it at the same time.
For any young talent, how can they leverage on the power of social media to showcase their talent?
Social media is very important because it has been the tool that made my brand to be recognized all over the world. I’ve been on social media for more than five years, but I think the fact that I kept on doing what I liked doing made it worthwhile.
I would have backed out because sometimes I see people that I’m funnier than having tones of likes and I just have about a hundred likes. There is much more to social media than what people think. People think it’s just to post pictures and do all of that. It’s more than that. Social media is a market. It is an office. I see it as my job.
I remember when I started, people told me that I would run out of ideas because I posted skits daily but I did not listen to them because I saw it as my career; my job is to do comedy. Today,I get some messages and they keep me moving. There was a day I didn’t post a video because I was busy on set, I got several messages from people who were waiting for my videos. I had to apologise to them. So I see it as a very big platform. I see it as my own office.
Is comedy paying off now monetarily for you?
Yes, it’s paying my bills now. When I started, it was with the advertisement of musicians who wanted to put their songs and needed my skits to help publicise the new projects. I charged them affordable prices. Now I charge more because I put in more work and creativity into my skits. Also, I need more people to act with me and I have to pay for their services.
How have you been coping with the ladies?
It has been fine. It is normal for the ladies to come.
With success comes criticism and controversy. How do you deal with those negatives?
I believe social media is filled with different people. While some could give negative comments, others send out positive comments. So when I see the negative comments, I just ignore them and laugh about them. I believe it is normal that not everyone will like you.
When not working, how do you unwind?
Well, I don’t drink and I don’t smoke. People don’t believe it, but it is true. For the fact that I don’t smoke nor drink, I hardly go to the club. But my manager tries to take me out some times to socialize and network. I just thank God for the kind of friends I have. Most of my friends are like me; they don’t do the things I don’t like and that make me happy.
What should people be looking for in the nearest future from Broda Shaggi?
I have concluded plans to shoot my own drama series. It will be coming out soon. I do not want people to think I am limited to Instagram, that is why I have been planning my own drama series modelled like Funke Akindele’s Jenifa’s Diary.
The drama series has been titled The life of Brother Shaggi and it is going to be a really big one. I plan on using big artistes in the industry and I am going to be working with billionaire Femi Otedola’s creative daughter, DJ Cuppy. She has replied positively and we will be kicking off very soon.
Wizkid’s First and Second Babymamas, Binta Diamond and Shola are still both bent on labeling their baby daddy, a Deadbeat.
Binta took to the gram to share a headline that reads; “Chris Brown’s Legal Team says Nia Guzzman Told Their Daughter He was A Deadbeat Dad”.
She captioned the photo:
Im not trying to bring her down but Damn Can I just swap baby daddy with her???? if only my child’s father treated my son the way he treats her daughter and payed half of the amount she’s getting in child support ?♀️ I am a single mom, I work my ass off and I pay for everything, imagine if someone was paying for my son’s school fees, nanny, and paying the bills boo boo let me just stop right here…
Sola Ogudu, his first babymama also responded to her post, “Someone should advice dia fav to start by paying his children’s school fees first before building schools for the masses… Charity they say begins at home??????”
Some comments:
ishaa.kx: What she needs to do is find a job ? mothers, single mothers are really out here struggling a job their families and paying bills with a 9-5 and she’s actually in need of money to live up to the lifestyle she portrays. She’s getting more than enough and is just being greedy @therealniaguzman be thankful sis and keep it pushin
lexycrownofficial: I still don’t understand the hatred, the neglect and makes me loves you more, I believe everything you said, there’s no picture of him and little ayo so there’s definitely no way he’s supporting, it’s a shame on him because it costs him nothing, David is spending time with his kids and uniting the mother of his kids, I think the name kid in wizkid makes him a kid and not grow, you gave him a healthy, handsome and brilliant son, so why the denial? He’s chasing dreams leaving his future behind, he won’t be this young forever and this kids will grow one day I hope it won’t be too late for him, this kids can grow and overthrow him, so would he like to make a rival with his kids? He doesn’t have a good counsel that’s his problem. Even if you hate the shell, you have to love the yolk. Even if he hates you, little ayo has no crime in this just an innocent boy in the world, he’s supposed to show love to his own blood, that was all you asked for not his money, I seen that since day one, you are a well to do woman, up and going, all you wanted was for him to man up, you don’t look the type that needs his money to survive and the last time interfered in this he blocked me on IG till this day and I don’t care because I said the right thing☝?️
miah077: Take that fool to court! He can’t make kids and just leave them while he can take care of them. Don’t listen to anyone who will call you names. He must fulfil his duties. You shouldn’t have to take care of Ayo on your own! I will never respect any man no matter how good his music is if he can’t take care of his kids or picks and chooses who he wants to be a father to. What kind of rubbish is that? May God fight for you sister, your son will be like Ishmael. He will be a blessing that no one expected. And I pray the same for the son of Oluwanishola.
yungmilli_razaki: Whenever I see you say this I get sad, am a die hard fan of wiz, and i became king ayo fan the very first day I heard he was wiz son, I know that wizkid is not a bad person, something must be wrong somewhere, pls mama ayo u have to check urself, and if the fail is not from u then I pray wiz realise his mistake soon and come for his son
mz_ha_pee: Why ain’t you dealing with it legally ma’am? Are you happier dealing with it online? I’m not saying you’re lying or what is going on is right but IG won’t do no good instead it’s causing more harm. Protect your son. Solve your issues properly or leave it out SM.
jorshwizzy: Do you know why Wizkid will never come closer? Because every man deserve a woman who can be there for him when there’s no one, ask yourself what’s your impact in wizkid’s life? Please stop being childish, if he’s not paying child support then sue him to court or call his family, stop spoiling this guy’s beautiful image he has been building for years without you being there for him, I love little Ayo but you the mother is making the father to avoid you because of your negativity and what you are doing right now, we all knows how he cares for Zion so why is your own different please change.
ishaa.kx: I wish he would just grow up and be a father figure to @king_ayo_ it’s so sad and that’s why he doesn’t really gain the acknowledgment that he so desires for. Although he is a “star” and is famous but girl he ain’t know where near @davidoofficial and which proves my statement correct davido had two kids and a whole girlfriend but yet he still finds time to see hailey whenever he’s in America and also regularly be with imade because she lives in Nigeria. It’s not something to be proud of being called out for not paying your dues to your child it’s embarrassing and it’s really bad
A Handsome Nigerian man took to micro-blogging website, Twitter to share the ‘unique but beautiful love story’ between himself and his wife, whom he got married to recently.

39-year-old delectable actress, turned Movie director, Genevieve Nnaji, made an eye-catching appearance at the TIFF festival in Canada where her new movie, ‘Lion Heart’ is premiering.
The star made her directorial debut with new movie, ‘Lion Heart’ which has been picked up by Netflix.
In a media release on the Netflix website on Friday, the movie premiered yesterday, Saturday, September 8, 2018.
The movie is Genevieve’s directional debut, and features Genevieve Nnaji, Nkem Owoh, Pete Edochie, Onyeka Onwenu.
According to Netflix, “Lionheart marks the first Netflix original film from Nigeria.”
A famous 87-year-old Russian actor is divorcing his 27-year-old wife because she has refused to have sex with him.
Ivan Krasko, famous for more than 140 roles in Soviet and Russian movies, wed Natalia Krasko in September of 2015.
However he said that almost immediately she had started refusing sex – because she was worried about getting pregnant.
He said she was also worried about the fact that they did not have the money to raise a child and did not even have a place of their own to stay in.
The revelation is in contrast to his statement last year that he wanted to have children with Natalia, but now he wants a divorce from his younger wife.
Reportedly Natalia who grew up in a poor family felt that she did not want the same destiny for her children.
Natalia said: ‘I don’t want to become a single mother, children mean responsibility, and we don’t even have our own place.’
During all the years of their marriage the pair has been living with Krasko’s grandson Kirill’s at the younger man’s flat in the Russian capital Moscow.
Natalia said that she only learned she was being divorced during a vacation in Spain, and for his part the actor plans on returning to his last wife Natalia Vyal, who was his third spouse and is the mother of his youngest two sons.
Mr Krasko already has three sons and two daughters from his previous marriages and even though he became a grandfather five years ago, earlier this year he insisted that he wanted another child.
33 year old Annie Idibia has just revealed that she had her first child, Isabella when she was just 24 years of age.
Taking to her Instagram story, the beautiful mother of two kids wrote: “So, I had my first kid at 24!!! She’s 9 and gonna be 10 in December and already my height,, wearing my things. Lord I am blessed!!!, Blessing in disguise it was”
Meanwhile, Annie in a previous post has asked God to allow her die beside her husband, 2baba Idibia.
She stated she can’t survive a life without Tuface and wishes to spend her entire life with him.
The mother of two took to Instagram to say: “I stared at this image for at least 15mins or even more and realized I was tearing up. The picture made me feel all “types of ways” And the love in my heart towards Innocent just tripled instantly.
“I know we will grow old n die someday, but God please I want to spend all my days with him, grow old with him and die beside him, next to him.
“I can’t live if I have to do that without him. I won’t survive it.
“Life without him won’t be worth it again. Sad that when we grow old n grey, 1 of us will go before the other, but please can we at least grow very old together and go together.
“All of our kids n grandkids would have been all grown, graduates and well established by your grace lord.. so they will be fine when we go.”

A certain Mr. Sunday Effiong allegedly burnt his 13-year-old niece with an iron in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, over their neighbor’s missing money.
According to a Facebook user, identified as Ebipre, after so much fuse, the neighbor eventually found his money where he kept it. Read full story below:
A CASE OF CHILD ABUSE
The gory picture above is that of a little girl of thirteen years old from Akwa Ibom state that lives with her uncle, one Mr Effiong Sunday at Brass street Etegwe Yenagoa Bayelsa State.
On Tuesday 5th September 2018 the little girl was accused of stealing three thousand naira from her next door neighbor. After questioning and interrogation from her Uncle (Mr Sunday Effiong) the little girl said she didn’t steal any money.
The uncle insisted that she must tell him the truth and he started beating her up mercilessly. Later he removed her cloths and started burning her with a hot pressing Iron that she must tell him the whereabout of the money. According to the little girl, he continued to burn her face and breast with the hot pressing Iron and she accepted she stole the money under duress.
The painful side of the story is that the neighbor eventually found his money where he kept it.
Despite the injuries he inflicted on the little girl, her uncle didn’t bother to take her to the hospital for treatment.
The following morning being Friday 7 September, neighbors started frowning and spreading the story after seeing the injuries on the girl.
The information got to Mr Numoipre Benson Ayah, Tony Owei Angagha and my humble self and we decided to see what we could do to help the little girl.
We contacted DO FOUNDATION, an NGO that is into CHILD ABUSE and other related matters chaired by Barrister Dise Ogbesi Sheila and her second Excel Bright.
The little girl was taken to the Ekeki police station. Mr Sunday Effiong and his wife were invited for interrogation by the Gender Desk Office.
The little girl is now receiving treatment in the hospital Courtesy of DO FOUNDATION.
While we await justice we say a big thank you to barrister Dise ogbesi Sheila and Excel bright of DO FOUNDATION for their swift intervention, we also say a big thank you to the police, doctors and others that are concerned in the little girl’s plight.

A certain young man, identified as Onome Emekeme popularly known as “Onome pounds”, was yesterday assassinated by unknown gunmen.
According to multiple reports, Onome was said to be driving two ladies and some of his friends in his Lexus car when the gunmen struck and shot him in the chest along the busy road.
It was gathered that the attackers didn’t take anything from the vehicle as they fled immediately after shooting their target dead.

Delectable Producer and Nollywood Actress Seun Omojola, has revealed that she sometime feels awkward in public, due to the size of her bosoms.
Speaking to Punch’s Sunday Scoop, she shared how a man once touched her bosoms in a market place to fell, just to know if they were indeed real.
She said:
“When I go to the market, especially Yaba Market, I get a lot of unpleasant comments from the traders, which make me uncomfortable. There was a day a man touched my breast to know if it was real; it was annoying.”
She also stated that while growing up, she was often the centre of attention as her peers had smaller breasts.
Seun Omojola said:
“At some point as a kid, I was confused because I didn’t understand why my breasts were bigger than those of my peers. But as grew older, I became comfortable with who I am.”
However, according to the actress, who plays a leading role in the new movie, Funke, her physique has been a blessing to her career.
She said:
“I get a lot of compliments on my breasts. If you go to my YouTube page, you will see different comments. God gave them to me; so, I’m going to flaunt them.”
Omojola, however, maintained that she could not go nude for any amount. She stated:
“There are roles you play in Nigeria and it takes away all the things you’ve worked for.
As a people, I don’t think we are ready for people acting in the nude. If it were to be in Hollywood, it could a different thing. But if you act nude in Nigeria, you will be insulted and it may affect your marriage or prevent you from getting a husband.”
