Why my movie, Tiresimi Is trending" Adetona Davies 

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF

 

My name is Adetona Davies. I am the CEO of a Youth Empowerment foundation named Talent Hunt Africa AcademySouth Africa) which I fully registered and started in the city of Johannesburg in 2011. For seven years, we operated the NGO fully with the main training center in Joburg and during those years, we reached out extensively to Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Sweden, Germany, Norway, France, and Holland with various training programs in MUSIC among African and European children/youths. In 2018, I got an appointment from a Spanish School of Art in Madrid, to be its first African Music Instructor! After completion of the contract, I moved down to an Island called PALMA DE MALLORCA here in SPAIN. where I started my community outreach music programs. In 2019, I change the name of the NGO to TALENT HUNT AFRICA-EUROPE FOUNDATION because SPAIN is now my permanent base with the vision of reaching out to both African and European youths with our TALENT DISCOVERY PROGRAMS 

HOW DID YOUR JOURNEY INTO ENTERTAINMENT START AND WHAT MOTIVATED YOU

 

Hmmm! That’s a good question that I  love to answer because it brings back the memory of my growing up in the city of IBADAN (Oyo State, Nigeria). It is an ancient rich in deep and undiluted YORUBA CULTURE! As a young teenager, as far back as 1981, every evening after dinner, we always gathered together to watch Yoruba play like KOOTU ASHIPA, AWADA KERIKERI, and ARELU! I always get excited every evening because I always look out for the songs that will be rendered along with the acting by the actors! My best of them are all the plays produced by Late PA Oyin Adejobi and I can categorically say that he was my foundational Mentor in Music, because all the songs from those plays are my daily National Anthem! I got motivated and from there started developing my singing talent! There as a teenager, I gave birth to MY DREAM that one day, I will be going around the world singing and producing films rich in AFRICAN CULTURE and that it will be a TOTAL THEATER (i.e Combination of MUSIC/ACTING/DANCE) Production, just like the late legends ( Pa Oyin Adejobi, Hubert Ogunde, Ade Love, etc) during their time. 

 

*YOUR MOVIE TIRESIMI IS TRENDING, HOW DID YOU FEEL ABOUT IT? 

 

I’m so excited and happy about the huge success and can you believe it that within three weeks, we got over half a million views on YouTube! This can only be GOD and having a good story with good handlers! For a movie to get people’s attention, it must be a good STORYLINE to be handled by a seasoned and professional DIRECTOR! 

 

I did my homework, I sought out one of the best YORUBA MOVIE DIRECTOR that is current in NIGERIA! My net caught Princess ALLWELL ADEMOLA, who is currently an award-winning and best Yoruba Female Director in Nigeria! 

 

She did justice on the well-scripted story written by my lovely daughter – EWABUNMI AKINNUBI, who acted as TIRESIMI in the FILM. My director really went far in getting seasoned and current award-winning Nollywood actors for the film! That effort of hers gave the film a great boost! This year, people should look out for more! 

TO EVERY GLORY IS A STORY TO TELL! WHAT ARE THE CHALLENGES FACED AND HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THEM? 

 

In the past, I’ve gotten a lot of bitter and bad experiences through debts! I’ve borrowed money in the past for projects that I ran into huge debts which I never recover from till we entered the pandemic! So during the pandemic, I concluded that I won’t come near film production again! Towards the end of 2021, I ventured into another business related to travel and tours, expecting a breakthrough by the early part of 2022! So I entered with great hope for huge success but unfortunately, the business failed woefully! I WAS DUPED! I became depressed through the month of February and March of 2022! I stayed indoors throughout, seeking God’s face and new direction! You won’t believe it that during that dark period, apart from God’s deep intimacy I had, I WATCHED OVE 50 YORUBA MOVIES and most of them gave me motivational messages that made me conclude that this is for real the path God wanted me to take! To be producing films that will touch lives(especially Yoruba people living in the diaspora!) 

 

But as a die-hard person who doesn’t give up at all, by April of 2022, TIRESIMI became a personal message to me when my daughter(EWABUNMI) shared it with me! 

 

God miraculously provided the fund for the shoot without consulting anyone to borrow money for the project! God indeed PUSH FAVOUR TOWARDS MY DIRECTION (OLUWATIRESIMI) 

 

*WHAT SEPARATES THE MOVIE FROM OTHER MOVIES

 

In this present generation, especially in Africa, the general belief is that the best production can only be done by men! That we are in a Men’s world where people always assume that only men can direct good films and that good stories can only come from popular and guru story and script writers! The uniqueness of the film  TIRESIMI is that it proved all those beliefs wrong! The story was written by a woman and directed by a woman that is ever ready to operate in the midst of a highly competitive world of film directing in Nigeria and the entire World! 

 

*IS THIS YOUR FIRST MOVIE AS A PRODUCER? 

 

No! I did my last movie in 2013 and it was titled THE UNBROKEN that future Nollywood Actors like DAMOLA OLATUNJI, AYO ADESANYA, SHOLA KOSOKO, BIDEMI KOSOKO, and others. It was shot in Nigeria, South Africa, and UK

We know you are into music too, tell us about it.

 

Yes! MUSIC is my mainstream! I’ve been singing since 1982. I started in IBADAN with Mummy TOUN SOETAN.

Then in 1994, with my box guitar, I became a traveling evangelist to Nations of the World! 

There is a particular musical storyline that I’ve rendered in 18 Countries of the World! I became famous in churches with the story titled TAANI YOO D’ADE(WHO WILL WEAR THE CROWN) and this is our next film coming out this year!

 

*WHICH OTHER PROJECTS ARE YOU WORKING ON?

 

This year, people should be expecting two major films of which one is going to be an epic film! 

Two, we are planning a big event here in Spain tagged TALENT FESTIVAL! 

 

Three, We are going to create more awareness about my NGO(TALENT HUNT AFRICA-EUROPE ACADEMY SPAIN) with a training center here in Spain and Nigeria for youths and adults talented in MUSIC/ACTING/DANCE

 

By GOD’S GRACE, our vision is to TRAIN YOUTHS ON HOW TO PLAY GUITAR, BE A GOOD actors & dancers, and establish TALENT SCHOOL & FILM VILLAGE here on the Island of Palma De Mallorca SPAIN!  Lastly, to AFRICAN and EUROPEAN Culture through MUSIC, ACTING, and DANCE! Will be having frequent film PRODUCTIONS in Nigeria, and South Africa where our European students will travel to collaborate with their African counterparts!

I saw that many actress and actors need prayers .  Especially the female ones because of strange illness that can lead to death.
And we should pray for churches in Nigeria especially those with old age founders and those the founders have gone to be with the lord because of the gang up betrayals that want to spring up and cause division in the churches .
And we should pray very well for a Nigeria top general overseer , a very vibrant one that is rounding up to leave for home but if he still want to stay he can ask for grace .
This government will Favour Nigeria and many will be surprised, ex governor Peter obi should be helped with prayers between now and when he is 64.  Tinubu will be sworn in and there won’t be any war in Nigeria .
Many strange judgements is coming on churches using diabolical powers and they will be seriously disgraced .  Apostle sulieman should continue asking God for mercy concerning what is ahead of him .
We should keep praying against flood in Nigeria and some part of the world .  I mean massive flood .
And I see a new leader spring up in one of the most popular white garment church in Africa .
The coming of Jesus Christ is getting nearer day by day .   And some messy secrets of some young preachers will be exposed and many will be surprised .

I will continue with the people’s oriented programmes that will make life abundant to our people”.

CRAN’ Felicitates with Ag AIG Alabi CPs Ali, Mba, DCP Disu

 

 

Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria, (CRAN) congratulates Acting Assistant Inspector General of Police , Sylvester Alabi , Commissioners of Police: Ari Mohammed Ali and Frank Mba for their promotion to the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police by the Police Service Commission.

 

 

CRAN’ Felicitates with Ag AIG Alabi CPs Ali, Mba, DCP Disu

 

 

 

 

It also joins well wishers to felicitate with the Commander, Intelligence Response Team, IRT, DCP Tunji Disu, on his elevation to the rank of Commissioner of Police.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Having followed the trajectory of these fine senior police officers as an association, their inclusion in the list of officers promoted , as announced by the Police Service Commission, could not have come at a better time than now, when their professionalism and expertise are needed to fill the vacant positions orchestrated by the recent retirement of some senior police officers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AIG Alabi has over the years demonstrated a rare professionalism and dedication to the Nigeria Police Force .

For the Delta State Police Commissioner, CP Ali, now AIG, his operational maneuvers brought the reign of various robbery and kidnap gangs to an end , with the arrest of hundreds of suspects and recovery of several arms ,ammunition and other exhibits to show for his operational dexterity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the same vein, the antecedents of the former Force spokesman, Frank Mba , who was recently deployed to the Ogun State Police Command as the Commissioner of Police , are also there to speak for him. His feats in less than two months of his stay in Ogun are startlingly beyond expectations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though the promotion of the Commander IRT, CP Disu, is long overdue, it is imperative to note that this erudite , operational and sagacious cop has never failed to police with a human face.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These attributes have not only enhanced the team’s intelligence gathering, it has also helped to project the Nigeria Police in a positive light.

 

 

 

 

 

To whom much is given, much is expected, thus, CRAN hereby urges these senior officers to see their elevation to the next ranks as a call for more professionalism and commitment towards aligning the paths of their subordinates for democratic values, human rights and the rule of law.
