The storyline is an interesting peculiar one. It’s embedded within our societal mundane. There are many societal ruinations we daily faced. Issues of anger, jealous, gossip uncompromising attitude that eventually leads to societal decadence. We often don’t recognise how destructive these could affect us until they have the unpleasant effects on us as a people. The whole idea is to have a clear awareness amongst us.

To God be the glory, like every other professions there would be ups and downs, one set back or the other. Our major set back was timing, collating people for different roles was a doubting task. This was why I firstly acknowledged the fact that it’s a collective effort to realise a finished movie. There were problems of quality shooting – cinematography which we had to critically reassessed before finally agreed on to release the movie for public viewing. Of course money is a big factor in production of good movie and there was issues of finance especially when the government is not favourable in this area. There were many other issues but we made it at the end.

My journey started at a very tender age. I have always wanted to be a movie actor. Growing up I watched a lot of old vintage movies like Jaiyesimi, Orunmoru, Ti Oluwa In Ile, Arelu, Owo Blow and many more. These movies inspired me a lot and gave me a burning desire to be an actor one day. I have uttermost respect for the older generations in the movie industry, they paved the way for  our success today. We own them gratitude and appreciation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

which movie will you say brought you Into limelight and who are your role models?

 

 

 

One of the movies that brought me to the limelight was Yellow Sisi. Most people call me Yellow Sisi today due to my role in that movie. However, I still believe there were combinations of other movies I have acted that’s taken me this far.

 

 

what’s the secret of your success?

 

I have no particular secret. Other than to be confident  supportive, respect  hardwork and God fearing.

 

 

You have Featured In some series like Jenifa Diary etc What are the lessons learnt on your way to stardom?

 

On my way to stardom I learnt to always be humble and respect people at all times. Do more of listening and less talk. Promote unity and awareness of purpose that would create a better platform for me and my colleagues. Treat others how you would want to be treated is my motto.

I’m working on many projects at the moment but are still in elementary stages. I would let the cat out of the bag when the time comes, for now let’s concentrate on the quality of finishing the movie that would compete with any movie across the world – that’s my ultimate aim and objective.

#FreeVDM Trends as EFCC Secures Court Order to Remand VeryDarkMan Over Alleged Cybercrime

#FreeVDM Trends as EFCC Secures Court Order to Remand VeryDarkMan Over Alleged Cybercrime

#FreeVDM Trends as EFCC Secures Court Order to Remand VeryDarkMan Over Alleged Cybercrime

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has obtained a court order to remand controversial social media activist Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), pending the conclusion of an investigation into alleged cybercrime offences.

VDM was dramatically arrested last Friday outside a bank in the Wuse area of Abuja by a combined team of EFCC operatives, Department of State Services (DSS) officers, and the Nigeria Police Force. Eyewitnesses say the activist was apprehended moments after leaving the bank, sparking immediate online outrage.

The arrest has ignited a social media firestorm, with the hashtag #FreeVDM dominating trends across platforms throughout the weekend. Many critics argue that the arrest is yet another attempt by authorities to intimidate dissenting voices online.

“The remand order was granted to allow us to complete our investigation and finalize the charges,” a senior EFCC official told reporters, noting that charges would be filed under the Cybercrimes Act once investigations are complete.

Sources familiar with the case say the EFCC is building a case focused on alleged violations involving online financial misconduct, which fall under the commission’s purview.

As of Monday morning, VDM remains in EFCC custody, with his legal team led by rights activist Deji Adeyanju confirming efforts to gain access to him and prepare a legal response.

“We are seeking to visit our client and are reviewing the legal implications of his arrest,” Adeyanju said in a statement.

Despite the mounting public interest and widespread speculation, the EFCC has yet to release an official statement detailing the arrest or outlining the specific charges VDM may face.

The arrest of VeryDarkMan adds to growing concerns over press freedom and digital expression in Nigeria, where several social media commentators have recently faced legal action for controversial posts.

David Abioye Begins New Chapter with Launch of Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly

David Abioye Begins New Chapter with Launch of Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly

David Abioye Launches New Church, Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, Amid Jubilant Crowd

Former Vice President and retired pastor of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Abioye, has officially inaugurated his new ministry, Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, marking a new chapter in his over four-decade-long spiritual journey.

The launch took place today, Sunday, May 4, 2025, during the ministry’s first Sunday service, which saw a massive turnout of enthusiastic worshippers. The atmosphere was charged with excitement as congregants gathered to witness what Abioye described as the “manifestation of God’s eternal purpose.”

In a passionate address during the inaugural service, Abioye emphasized that the establishment of the new church was not the result of public opinion or personal ambition, but a divine assignment birthed from deep spiritual conviction.

“May I make it very clear that the inauguration of this assembly is not in response to demands of people to start a church,” Abioye declared. “But by the emergence of God’s eternal purpose, ordained from the foundation of the word, which is just coming to light at His own time.”

The renowned cleric explained that the Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly is founded on divine direction and is dedicated to the spiritual development, edification, and victory of believers worldwide.

Clarifying his role in the new ministry, Abioye stated that he does not view himself as someone attempting to fulfill the entire Great Commission alone, but rather as a messenger raised for a specific divine assignment within God’s broader agenda.

“In the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, for the spiritual development, edification, and triumph of the saints globally… this assembly is hereby inaugurated,” he declared, drawing a resounding “Amen” from the congregation.

The launch follows Abioye’s retirement from Living Faith Church in October 2024, alongside Pastor Thomas Aremu, after the church implemented a policy setting a mandatory retirement age for senior leaders. Abioye bowed out of active service at the age of 63, concluding a distinguished ministry career under the leadership of Bishop David Oyedepo.

As the curtain lifts on this new ministry, many see it not as a departure from Abioye’s legacy, but as a continuation of his divine calling—this time under a new banner with a global vision.
