Nobody can ban my movie, Oko Iyabo – Yomi Fabiyi

Actor Yomi Fabiyi has declared that nobody can ban his controversial movie, Oko Iyabo.

The movie which was recently released on YouTube has since been generating controversy as those who claim to have watched it allege that it based on the ongoing sexual assault case involving colleague Baba Ijesha and comedian Princess.

After serious backlash and people complaining, Yomi claimed he pulled the movie down, but social media users claimed YouTube pulled it down because of the reports it had.

In a post shared on his Instagram page, the actor has now defiantly said that nobody can ban his movie.

He also added that the movie is about himself and Iyabo Ojo because he has a right to tell a story ;

OKO IYABO MOVIE & concept is about Yomi(me) & lyabo. I have right to write my own story.
lyabo Ojo has done many videos mentioning my full names and the videos were published on YouTube, IGTV etc simply because I stand for HUMAN RIGHTS, so also Princess mentioned my real names. They called me pedophile and rape apologist for standing by what is right. So sentiment on use of real names. It is allowed in movie making.
The movie never undermine the victim or any girl child, someone twisted that so they can make you react. Most commenting did not see the FULL MOVIE before judgement. Mo fa yin le Olorun lowo.

I hand you all to your consciences and God.

No amount of all these can pull me down.

AND NOBODY BANNED MY MOVIE. We private it deliberately just to give room for calm. At some point OKO IYABO MOVIE will be released on DVD, YouTube and others. You can’t abort an already born baby.

Censor’s board will rate OKO IYABO when I apply and everybody will enjoy the movie soon because it is about two young actors, Yomi & Iyabo fighting on a case from different angle and personalities.

The movie has enough message. MY FULL V RESPONSE TOMORROW

Katsina youths acquire catapults to fight gun-wielding bandits in the state

Katsina youths acquire

Members of Katsina State PDP Social Media Organization have started sharpening their skills in the use of locally made catapults for self-defense against gun-wielding bandits.

Katsina youths acquire catapults

The State Chairman of Organization, Comrade Nuraddeen Adam Kankara Tina, led other members of the group to launch the catapult training exercise in Katsina metropolis.

The training exercise, which has been tagged “Operation Catapult Shoot”, is in response to Governor Aminu Ballo Masari’s instruction that residents of the state should defend themselves against bandits terrorizing the state.

The Governor gave this directive during the inauguration of Katsina Joint Security Operations and Communication Control Centre. According to him, it is ridiculous that people are not doing anything to defend themselves against bandits’ attack.

He said, “Why should I sit in my village and be only making telephone calls without doing anything?

“Every bandit, every criminal has an address, has a location, and they are human beings like us. The only difference is that they have taken arms against us; does it mean we have nothing to take against them?”

Nollywood actress, Motilola Adekunle has taken to social media to announce the end of her marriage to her Airforce husband.

According to the mother of two, after years of marriage she and her husband who she met during her service year in Kaduna decided they are better off apart.

In a lengthy Instagram post announcing their split, she wrote,

“It feels very odd that I have to share this kind of news with everyone as I am a staunch believer in the marriage institution, but the decision to share is a consequence of my believe in being transparent and not giving room to rumours or unverified speculations.

After ….. years of marriage, we have come to the hard but.. pragmatic realization and conclusion that we are much better apart.

Let me dispel any rumors that might emerge about the split. It’s very simple: *It just didn’t work out.* There is no anger involved. Difficult? Absolutely. But it is the best decision in the circumstances.

Let me reiterate that we are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their, and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time. We have always conducted our relationship privately, and we hope that as we consciously uncouple and coparent, we will be able to continue in the same manner.

Thanks for your understanding and I seek your continuing prayers for me in this period.

I would also appreciate if there would be no calls, would respond to messages as soon as I can…pls understand the sensitivity of this situation… God bless you”.
