SilverBird TV Staff, Celebrates Nollywood Filmmaker Who Paid For Her Jamb Form
“I’m Now Phd In View” -Silverbird TV Staff, Celebrates Nollywood Filmmaker Who Paid For Her Jamb Form
No doubt about it scandals sell. Social media are always quick, very observant of negative stories, scandalous and image shattering reports.
No one is interested in celebrating good deeds again unless you blow your horns by yourself. Give journalists, media houses and social media influencers a piece celebrating someone who is worth celebrating, some who has done a remarkable thing and you will surely get a message that will include the invoice of the media house.
But send them a scandalous story, say ‘a Nollywood great was caught pants down with an actress’- in seconds, it will go viral. It will top twitter trend, Instagram trend and on all webs and blogsites.
Well, that is a story for another day. Today, there is a Legend; someone who many know as the most consistent film maker in Nigeria but noticeably under-celebrated.
Ambassador Lancelot Oduwa Imasuen, has affected many lives positively but won’t blow his horns. Many Nollywood’s ‘A list’ actors who he brought to Lagos, had at one time or the other spent years under his roof while hustling to get noticed but, many could not openly praise him.
Lancelot, who in few weeks will be celebrating his 50th birthday withe series of philanthropic gestures and giveaways all across Nigeria is one man that deserves all the accolades.
Well, not all won’t remember their beginning. Among those who went back the memory lane to appreciate the life-changing moments with this Benin import is delectable entertainer and Actress, Adaku Nwachineme.
Presently with SilverBird TV, Port Harcourt,
Adaku Nwachineme, with Instagram handle @adakunwachineme reveals her moments in time with legendary filmmaker @lancelotimasuen…
She said; Movie making will always be my first love.
Years back when I first joined Nollywood industry, I was pretty young, but I was lucky. Producers began to notice me first few months and I only get to work with the best crew and big stars even though it was minor supporting roles but they were always significant to the film.
Andy Ameche, Reginald Ebere, T’Chidi, Andy Chukwu, were some of the biggest directors at the time that directed me working for OJZ production, P.Collins Production among others.
One of those occasions I get to meet @lancelotimasuen on set, he was like oh yea! No doubt you are super talented but you are pretty young, you need to go back to school. Am like oh, no doubt am still going, even my father will kill me if I don’t .. well he was like let me make it easier here is money go buy jamb form and start next year am like they are not selling jamb form he was like what are they selling? Poly jamb, he was like Oya buy that one, buy that one. am like Kai I can’t go to a poly he was like you need to, you can still buy jamb form the next year and go to a university.. and when you finish with a good grade come back I make you a #Star well 2 years later I was doing IT in ph and forgot all about the industry.
Years later and with a PHD in view I can’t help but remember @lancelotimasuen act of kindness done with the Purest of intentions.
As we look forward to celebrating your 50th, I can’t help but reminisce on your person, and how far your work has blessed our generation, and most especially the work that you do outside of the industry raising the next generation of thought leaders. Thank you for your service, you are loved and appreciated.
Well here’s to #gbegethemovie #gbege is coming.. we are looking forward to it ..
In my curiosity, I decided to put a call across to her and she gave more exposé on why she won’t stop talking about Ambassador Imasuen’s momunumental kindness to her.
Actress Adaku Nwachineme during our phone call said; “Leaving Nollywood at the time was one of the defining moment of my life because, after a few year that I left and I started working I lost my dad and my mum. So I didn’t have any source of income. Assuming that I didn’t leave at the moment, I might not be able to go to school again and I don’t know what my life could have become.”
She said; “It was during my Industrial Attachment at the company where I was working that they decided to retain me and from there I could pay for my school fees and do other things. I was able to raise myself from the little I was being paid as I was retained and the rest has now become a story.”
“What I’m trying to say here is that one act of kindness has actually taken me to where I am today and I owned all that to him. I’m just grateful because its one story that I will not never stop talking about. I’ve said it before and I will continue to say it that lancelot is one of the most underrated and under-celebrated Filmmaker, Director and Producer in this part of the country and in this part of the world.”
“The numbers of people that he has helped, those who is relied on him in the Nollywood to get to where they are today are to numerous to count however, it is sad that most of them when they got to where they are today they forgot where they were coming from and this makes it so sad, but I don’t want to be counted as one of those people because even if I become the president of Nigeria I will still remember him and his name will always be in the story of my life.”
“There’s no how I can write my story without mentioning his name. He will always be a part of my success story.” Adaku said.

E‑Money’s Grand Gesture: A Closer Look at the SUV Gift to Chinedu “Aki” Ikedieze
E‑Money’s Grand Gesture: A Closer Look at the SUV Gift to Chinedu “Aki” Ikedieze
By George Omagbemi Sylvester | Published by SaharaWeeklyNG
“Public Generosity, Celebrity Loyalty and the Symbolism of Wealth in Nigeria’s Entertainment Elite.”
On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Nigerian billionaire and entrepreneur Emeka Okonkwo, widely known as E‑Money, once again captured national attention with a lavish and highly publicised act of generosity, gifting a brand‑new 2024/2025 Ford SUV to veteran Nollywood actor Chinedu Ikedieze, affectionately called Aki, during his high‑profile birthday celebration.
The event, held in Lagos amidst a constellation of entertainers, business figures and socialites, was itself part of an annual tradition in which E‑Money marks his birthday (on February 18) with large‑scale giveaways and spectacular shows of material philanthropy. This year, he announced the gift of over 30 cars to friends, staff and family, a gesture that quickly went viral as videos and images circulated across social media platforms.
In the case of Ikedieze, E‑Money’s gift appeared to be deeply personal. During the festivities, E‑Money stood beside his elder brother, Grammy‑nominated musician KCee and recounted how Ikedieze stood by him at his 2007 wedding. The billionaire explained that the SUV was a “token of appreciation” for the enduring support the actor had shown over the years which is a narrative that blends friendship with public celebration.
Ikedieze, a Nollywood staple with a career spanning more than two decades and over 150 film credits, including the iconic Aki na Ukwa franchise, visibly reacted with humble surprise as he received the vehicle, bowing his head in respect and gratitude. The actor later shared the moment on his Instagram account with a caption celebrating the gift, further fuelling online engagement around the event.
Beyond the spectacle, this incident underscores evolving dynamics in Nigerian celebrity culture and the intersection of wealth, influence and reciprocity. Sociologist Dr. Chinedum Uche of the University of Lagos, speaking on the broader implications of such high‑profile gifts, notes: “Philanthropy that is highly publicised can reinforce social bonds, but it also reflects a culture where generosity is intertwined with reputation economy; where giving becomes as much a social signal as it is an act of kindness.” The quote highlights how public acts of wealth transfer among elites serve layered social functions that extend beyond pure altruism.
Critics of such displays argue that ostentatious giveaways, particularly in a country with stark economic disparities, risk amplifying social envy and exacerbating perceptions of inequality. Economist Dr. Ifunanya Nwosu from the Lagos Business School observes: “In societies marked by economic stratification, celebrity largesse may inspire admiration, but it can also inadvertently highlight structural inequities; prompting questions about systemic investment in public welfare versus individual generosity.”
Still, supporters maintain that E‑Money’s annual tradition (which has in past years included cash gifts to his brother KCee, comedians and even domestic staff) reflects genuine gratitude and a commitment to uplifting his immediate circle, albeit within the private sphere.
For Ikedieze, the SUV stands both as a heartfelt gesture from a longtime friend and a public affirmation of their enduring relationship. As the video of the moment continues to circulate, the broader narrative has ignited discussions about the role of private wealth in public life, celebrity culture and how acts of giving are interpreted in contemporary Nigerian society.
In a landscape where influence and generosity often play out in equal measure on public stages, E‑Money’s gift to Aki is more than a headline, it is a flashpoint in ongoing debates about wealth, friendship and visibility in Nigeria’s entertainment and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Spiritual Reality: Wicked People Are Possessed by Wicked Spirits — Dr. Christian Okafor
Spiritual Reality: Wicked People Are
Possessed by Wicked Spirits — Dr. Christian Okafor
…..“You don’t need to offend them before they attack you.”
…..“Your only true help comes from God.”
Demons are strategic and calculating. They detect threats quickly and position themselves to resist any power that may expose or overpower them.
According to the Generational Prophet and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Christian Okafor, spiritual intelligence operates both in light and in darkness—and believers must understand this reality.
Dr. Okafor delivered this message on Thursday, February 19, 2026, during the midweek Prophetic, Healing, Deliverance and Solutions Service (PHDS) held at the international headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
The Operations of Demons
Teaching on the subject “Spiritual Reality” with the subtitle “Operations of Demons,” the Man of God explained that when demons possess individuals, their behavior changes. Such people may attack, bully, or resist those sent by God to help them, unknowingly rejecting divine assistance and prolonging their struggles.
“You don’t need to offend a demon before it attacks you,” he said. “What you carry is enough to provoke opposition. The greater your potential, the greater the battle.”
Dr. Okafor noted that many believers misinterpret battles as signs that God has abandoned them. However, he explained that some battles are permitted for growth, training, and divine glorification.
According to him, God may allow certain confrontations so that believers understand spiritual warfare and emerge stronger.
“Some battles are necessary,” he emphasized. “They push you into your turning point.”
He further stated that God does not respond to lies, blackmail, or bullying. He responds to His Word. Therefore, opposition is not proof of God’s absence, but often evidence of destiny at work.
The Weapon Against Demonic Attacks
Addressing solutions, Dr. Okafor described prayer as the strongest weapon against satanic operations.
“Prayer is the license that invites God into your battles,” he declared. “God does not intrude—He responds to invitation.”
According to the Apostle of Altars, understanding the principles and discipline of prayer enables believers to receive divine strategies for overcoming demonic resistance. Without prayer, he warned, spiritual help cannot be activated.
“You cannot receive help without God,” he concluded. “And you cannot engage God without prayer.”
Manifestations at the Service
The midweek gathering was marked by a strong move of the Spirit, with testimonies of deliverance, miracles, restoration, and solutions to various challenges presented before God. Several individuals reportedly committed their lives to Christ during the service.

Kingdom Advancement: God Does Not Confirm Lies or Gossip — He Confirms His Word .” — Dr. Chris Okafor
Kingdom Advancement: God Does Not Confirm Lies or Gossip—He Confirms His Word
“When Doing Business with God,
People’s Opinions Do Not Count.”
— Dr. Christian Okafor
The greatest investment any Christian can make is partnering with God. According to the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Christopher Okafor, when a believer commits to serving and advancing God’s kingdom, no barrier, lie, gossip, or blackmail can prevail against them.
This message was delivered during the Prophetic Financial Sunday Service held on February 15, 2026, at the international headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
Doing Business with God
Teaching on the theme “Kingdom Advancement” with the subtitle “Doing Business with God,” Dr. Okafor emphasized that when a believer enters into covenant partnership with God, divine backing becomes inevitable.
“God is still in the business of covenant,” he declared. “When you make a covenant with Him, He honors the terms. When you win souls into the kingdom and remain committed to His work, He rewards you with what you could never achieve by your own strength.”
The Man of God stressed that God does not confirm lies, gossip, or negative narratives—He confirms His Word. Therefore, anyone genuinely committed to kingdom business should not be distracted by public opinion.
“No matter the blackmail or falsehood circulating around you, if you are focused on God’s assignment, those attacks will only strengthen you,” he stated.
He further noted that a believer’s understanding of God’s covenant determines their experience. “Your mentality about God’s covenant becomes your reality. When you truly know the God you serve, no devil can move you.”
Biblical Examples of Kingdom Partnership
Dr. Okafor cited several biblical figures who prospered through their partnership with God:
Abel
Abel served God with sincerity and offered his very best. His sacrifice pleased God, demonstrating that when a master is honored, he responds with favor.
David
David’s heart was fully devoted to God, and in return, God’s presence and favor rested upon him throughout his life.
Hannah
Hannah made a covenant with God, promising that if He blessed her with a child, she would dedicate him to His service. After fulfilling her vow, God rewarded her abundantly, blessing her with additional children.
Peter
Peter, a professional fisherman, surrendered his boat at Jesus’ request for kingdom work. Through that act of partnership and obedience, he experienced supernatural provision and divine elevation.
Conclusion
In closing, Dr. Okafor emphasized that one’s approach to God’s covenant determines the level of success and prosperity experienced. Commitment to kingdom advancement secures divine confirmation and supernatural results.
The Prophetic Financial Sunday Service was marked by prophetic declarations, deliverance, healings, miracles, restoration, and solutions to diverse cases presented before Elohim.
