Who will win this battle of the movies on Christmas Day?
Highly anticipated movie, Omo Ghetto from Funke Akindele and ‘Mimi’ from Samuel ‘Bigsam’ Olatunji who incidentally was Funke’s former PR manager.
Omo Ghetto – The Saga is a sequel to one of Funke’s popular movies telling the stories of Taiwo and Kehinde, one who is rich and classy and the other who grew up in the ghetto.
Omo Ghetto (The Saga) same as the prequel is a story that follows Lefty and her friends, Nikky, Busty and Chummy Choko in Askamaya Ghetto. The plot is woven around a set of twins who are separated at birth and are living completely different lives.
‘Mimi’ tells the story of a spoilt rich kid who got served by fate, having her discover all that she knew about herself to be a mirage. She has to get used to an opposite life, one she would never get used to. It’s a story of redemption, love, fate, starting over and importantly comedy – one whom every family will thoroughly enjoy.
Will Funke Akindele be winning this battle of will Bigsam, as fondly called win? We predict that the audience are the winners who will enjoy these two beautiful movies on the same day.

Fuji Music Star, Abass Obesere Allegedly In Secret Romance With UK-Based Relationship Expert, Yinka TNT
Fuji Music Star, Abass Obesere Allegedly In Secret Romance With UK Based Relationship Expert, Yinka TNT
There’s a hot gossip in town involving an alleged secret romance between star Fuji musician, Abass Akande Obesere and UK based popular talkshow host, Oluyinka Ayanda a.k.a. Yinka TNT.
According to insiders, friends of Obesere are worried about the potential consequences of the alleged secret affair for his marriage; the associated scandal, heartbreak and the impact on his reputation as his wife was already in the know and reportedly spoiling for a showdown.
Sources said the clandestine nature of the saga makes it difficult to know how long their affair has been going on and how often the lovebirds meet or interact.
Speaking on the rumour, an ally of Yinka who didn’t want to be named for confidential reasons, said “it is not impossible”, adding that though it wasn’t a public topic yet.
“A single lady romancing a married man is part of socializing, especially if both of them have always known and supportive of each other,” the source quipped.
Yinka is a single, career woman with kids while Obesere is married. Thus, a close relationship between such high-profile celebrities who interestingly are also showbiz aficionados, is bound to attract intense media attention and public speculation.
Calls made to both Yinka and Obesere to confirm the authenticity of this information went unanswered while text messages sent to their known mobile telephone numbers were not replied as at press time.
