  • Adesua Etomi joins eminent personalities to read Chinua Achebe’s #ThingsFallApart

    Svelte Nollywood damsel , Adesua Etomi alongside other eminent personalities will be guests in London on April 15, 2018 for the 60th anniversary live reading of Chinua Achebe’s #ThingsFallApart, holding at the Southbank Centre, London.

     

    Adesua will be reading with Ben Okri and Lucian Msamati and other crew.

     

    The event is organised to celebrate the iconic writer, who fondly called the “father of African literature”, died after a short illness on March 21, 2013 in Boston, USA.

     

    He was laid to rest in his hometown in Ogidi, Anambra State.

    Nigerian Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has described the work as “the first novel in English which spoke from the interior of the African character, rather than portraying the African as an exotic, as the white man would see him.

    According to Avil Beckford:” Things Fall Apart is a constant on the must-read book lists. Things Fall Apart is a seminal piece of work, and has had staying power because it’s the first time that any author demonstrated how European colonization impacted the natives, and it is written by someone from the country that was colonized. Other authors wrote about this topic, but they came at it from a different perspective”.

  • Why I got married to Adesua -Banky W

    Just when everyone thought Banky W and Adesua will stay off the limelight after their funfair wedding , the couple are once again trending on social media following the release of their wedding documentary aptly tagged: ‘The Wellingtons.’

     

    The documentary highlighted tidbits of their wedding ceremony.

    In the documentary Banky W revealed why he chose to marry Adesua.

    He said: “I met Adesua in 2015 and after inquiring about her from her manager, Isioma, i went online to search for her and found her social media handles.

    “I looked her up online and I liked what I saw. I googled her, stalked her on the gram and a day or two later, I slid into her DM like the real man that I am.

    “I had two defining moments with Adesua. One was before we started speaking. It was actually when I was stalking her and I saw a video of her and her childhood friends singing worship songs and I felt like this is really refreshing to find someone in our line of work that would readily show this part of them.

    “The second part when I knew was when we took a private trip somewhere and it was the first time that she danced with me and at this point, I already knew she was a spiritual girl and a praying woman. But if i can confess, I was a little bit worried that when it comes to the turnups and the fun, I wasnt sure if she would be free like that and the very first time she danced with me, they were playing Rihanna’s ”Work” and she danced with me. Ladies and Gentlemen, once you have the spiritual and physical, you close shop, you move.

    ”I wasn’t specifically looking for an entertainer as a wife because of what I presumed, but she took me off the balance.

    “I am glad i married Adesua because she understands my business and the pressure that comes with it”.
