I'm Now Phd In View" -ChannelsTV Staff, Celebrates Nollywood Filmmaker Who Paid For Her Jamb Form

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.

Call EFCC to order, Nigeria is not a lawless country – Yahaya Bello Media Office

Confusion as EFCC names ex-Kogi Gov in amended corruption allegations perpetrated before he became Governor

Call EFCC to order, Nigeria is not a lawless country – Yahaya Bello Media Office

 

Advertisment

About 9:30 am today, the 17th day of April 2024, persons who described themselves as officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrived the Wuse Zone 4 Residence of His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello to effect his arrest.

This is despite a subsisting Order of injunction granted on 9th February 2024 by the High Court of Justice, Lokoja Division in Suit No. HCL/68M/2024 between Alhaji Yahaya Bello v. Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, restraining the Commission either by itself or its agents from harassing, arresting, detaining or prosecuting Alhaji Yahaya Bello, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive fundamental rights enforcement action.

Advertisment

The EFCC was duly served with that Order on 12th February 2024 and on 26th February 2024; the EFCC filed an Appeal (Appeal No.: CA/ABJ/CV/175/2024: Economic and Financial Crimes Commission v. Alhaji Yahaya Bello) against the said Order to the Court of Appeal Abuja division. The Appeal was accompanied by a Motion for Stay of Execution of the Order of the High Court which the Court of Appeal adjourned for hearing till the 22nd day of April 2024.

Furthermore, Judgment in the substantive case between Alhaji Yahaya Bello and the EFCC is to be delivered at 12 Noon today in Lokoja.

Contrary to all of the above, the EFCC has now laid siege to the home of H.E Yahaya Bello seeking to arrest him in contravention of the extant orders!

It is a surprise that an agency led by a lawyer could flagrantly disobey a subsisting court order by taking actions contrary to the reliefs granted.

We are aware of the total commitment of the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the rule of law and can say categorically that the leadership of the EFCC might have offered the agency on a platter of gold to desperate politicians to convert to their score settling tool without minding the effect on its integrity and the image of Nigeria as regards the rule of law.

A situation where law enforcers disregard the rule of law is a definite recipe for anarchy, which will adversely affect every aspect of the nation’s economy.

Nigerians have perceived the desperation of the anti-graft agency to embarrass and harass the former Governor by all means through spurious allegations, especially the latest one dating back to September 2015, way before he assumed office.
We are aware that there are clandestine moves to correct the error, but with even more questionable allegations, which would embarrass the Commission and Nigeria more than the initial one.
It is unfortunate that an agency that is supposed to enforce the law is now the first culprit with respect to disobedience of court orders.
This is a big dent on the fight against corruption. He who comes to equity must come with clean hands.

We call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to call the EFCC to order in the interest of legal sanity.
