  • If I really want to kiss RMD, I can make it happen- Omoni Oboli declares

    If I really want to kiss RMD, I can make it happen- Omoni Oboli declares

    Celebrities may be shining paragons of fame, but in all honesty, they are just like any other human being. The difference is that they are adored by millions as a result of their talent.

    However, this doesn’t mean they don’t have their secret desires. Veteran actor, Richard Mofe Damijo celebrated his 56th birthday yesterday. In the midst of countless birthday messages addressed to him on social media, some birthday messages stood out. One cannot ignore Nollywood actress, Ufuoma Mcdermott message to RMD on Instagram., where she declared she was glad they had the opportunity to kiss in a movie.

    In her post, she reminisced on how RMD has been a positive influence over her life and how she was excited to Kiss him in the movie, Okafor’s Law.

    Hear her:” Every minute spent with you is a chance to learn anew. Every groove spent with you is a chance to let down one’s hair (I know you’re bald but… warraheck).

    “Being my boss on #DTQ was cool. Being my husband in #OkaforsLaw was even better. Yay! I got to kiss you(Haters will now say we didn’t have a sex scene)Well, at all at all na winch. #HappyBirthday to one of the finest to ever grace our screens. May you enjoy this new year as the best yet. May you be continually surrounded by joy and unending peace. Have a blast I mean enjoy ya sef o” she said.

    The allusion made to kissing led to a lighthearted argument between Ufuoma, Omoni Oboli, and Chioma Akpotha.

    In the midst of the banter, Omoni said she must write a movie where she will kiss RMD and was quick to defend herself when her joke was being misinterpreted by saying If she desires to kiss RMD, she can make it happen.

  • War in Nollywood! Tony One Week slams Chioma Akpotha

    Says:”I am shocked at Chioma’s statements”

    Popular Nigerian entertainer, Tony One Week has condemned actress Chioma Akpotha for criticizing Gideon Okeke after he openly slammed Chinwetalu Agu’s vulgarity in movies.Recall that Gideon had openly lashed out at the veteran and urged the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) to do something about it. Chioma Akpotha reacted to Gideon’s rant condemning him for disrespecting the veteran actor.

    However , Tony One Week who has weighed in on the issue wrote:” Like Chief Zebrudaya will say “Fafafaaaaa…. Fowl”. I read that Gideon condemned Chiwetalu Agu’s vulgarity in movies and actress Chioma rebuked Gideon. And I ask: For what? The young man simply stated the very obvious. Famous actor Chiwetalu Agu’s lines can be very irritating. Truth be told. The guy can talk nonsense. And overtime, his nonsense has moved from being funny to annoyingly irresponsible. It’s high time someone told him that he is no longer funny. How can u say a vulgar word or sentence and repeat it from the beginning to the end of the movie every time u appear?”

    “A movie ideally should have a positive message even as it entertains. What is educative about vulgar statements? Is the intention to corrupt or destroy? I support Gideon 100%. Agu should be more responsible abeg. Does he have children? D guy is is a good actor but in recent times too unnecessarily vulgar bro. Can I forget “Igwe ejee nga”?.

    “That’s vintage Ogwu in Taboo speaking clean but very apt and entertaining. What he says these days are almost demonic. The worst is the repetition. Must every uselessly vulgar line be repeated like three four times in a scene and then in all the scenes he appears in a movie. Haba. I blame producers for d repetition. Most of our movies these days are scriptless. No script. No story. That’s why every actor says what he likes in d name of comedy. And to think they believe they are making us happy when they actually make us angry most times? Honestly, anyone who supports Chiwetalu Agu’s persistent use of vulgar language has little or no moral foundation. Who is talking about censorship here? Are movies censored in Nigeria? How do they regulate who buys the DVDs meant for adults when children sell them?”

    “Common… everybody watches everything jare. ‘Nwoke na akoghelizi akogheli’ (meaning Chiwetalu Agu talks anyhow) and it ain’t funny any more than it’s destructive. Our movie producers must upgrade to using proper solid stories to sell movies and not vulgar repetitive sentences. Up Gideon. Down Chioma. I respect Chioma’s person and I am shocked that a mother like her will condemn Gideon for condemning the unguarded immorality being unleashed on society by Chiwetalu Agu. #Moralityiskey”

    Everyone is anticipating the responses of Chioma Akpotha and Chinwetalu Agu.
