Stop blaming
Buhari for your
problems;
actress, Foluke
Daramola tells
Nigerians
Veteran Nollywood actress,
Foluke Daramola has advised
Nigerians to stop blaming
President Buhari for their
misfortunes because his government
is not the major cause
of their problems.
Speaking to E-Daily in a
chat, she advised Nigerians
to take responsibility for their
livelihood instead of always
waiting on the government to
put food on their tables.
“To set the records straight
I don’t see a difference between
when Buhari was
contesting and now that
he has won. What’s that
significant difference
that we have seen positively
or otherwise? If
I may ask, is it the
presidency that will
put food on their table
or help them
think beyond the surface
on how to better
their lots? As we speak
now some people make
millions on a daily basis
in this so called
‘hard times’. Don’t you
think there’s a fundamental
action that we
need to take as Nigerians,
especially the
youth?”
She added; “As Nigerians
let’s look beyond
the surface and place less
emphasis on our government
for everything we do or get and
a whole lot will change for us.
If we are to do an analysis of
Buhari’s win on the social media
I’m sure he won’t even be
in the number 1 to 10 but he won
squarely. Because the youths
are not acting beyond the social
media and we expect a miracle
of some sort as propagated
by our so called “Pastors”.
“I’m a strong advocate of the
decentralization of power from
the central to regions so we can
have our space and time to look
beyond the wideness of our nation
and of crude oil which we
have begun to do to look inwards
and around us to gain
from what and who we truly
are.”

There is nothing wrong
in beating your woman
— Moyo Lawal
*Says “Some women actually want it”
By Tolulope Abereoje
Curvy actress, Moyo Lawal, has shared
her opinion on violence against
women and it is definitely not a popular
opinion.
While many human rights group, feminists,
corporate bodies and individuals
have joined advocacy against the
act, while urging victims to speak up
in order to get help, the alluring actress
says it is okay for a man to hit
his partner.
“There’s nothing wrong with hitting
your woman. We women are
stubborn and we need strong hands.
You hit the ones you love. As funny as it
sounds, some women actually want this.”
Speaking further, the screen diva who once
declared she is yet to compromise her celibate
status because she intends to stay so
till after marriage, reaffirmed her decision
to remain so.
She listed five common needs the present
generation of youths crave for; alcohol,
money, food, friends and sex, which she
numbered 1-5 respectively and asked that
they delete two they can stay without. She
chose 1 and 5 which are alcohol and sex and
went on to say she doesn’t get those two
anyway.

Why my kids
would get their
first phones at 24-
Simi
Though popular Nigerian singer,
Simi is yet to experience motherhood,
she may have some of the
necessary skills required to properly
train a child in an already corrupt
society.
The singer who has been fueling
rumours that she is expecting her
first child barely weeks after her secret
wedding to urban-highlife singer,
Adekunle Gold, seems to be ready for
the motherhood experience.
According to her, when she begins to bear
children she would be very strict with how she
trains them. She explained that because the internet
is a very scary place, she would not allow
them own a phone until they are 24-years of age.
“My kids will be getting their first phones at 24;
the internet is such a scary place. I’m going to home
school them too so that your kids can’t show them
their own phones.
I will be in charge of their pocket money,
which of course they will use to buy bibles
and educational materials. I’m
ready”, she said.
Wale Adenuga storms Nollywood with ‘Knockout’
across the nation on April 19,
2019.
Speaking to E-Daily on the inspiration
behind the movie, the
producer, Wale Adenuga Jnr, explained;
“We have been into the business
of content production for years
now, but mostly on the TV screen.
But that does not mean that we
have not had our eyes out there
for other platforms like cinema.
We couldn’t have come out at a
better time because Nigerian
films have been doing a very good
job, they have been improving. If
we came out earlier than now I
might not be able to guarantee
the quality of what we would have
Moyo
shown; it might have been something
of lower quality. Wonderfully,
everyone has been coming out
with good things, so that geared
us to say ‘if we can’t be above, we
have to at least be at par’. We went
through a lot of trouble just to get
to the technical standard that we
have now. So looking at what other
people have done inspired us.
We have always had the ambition
of coming to the big screen, there
is no question about that, and our
wonderful colleagues inspired us
at Wale Adenuga Productions.
The fact that we also have loads
of content and the knowledge that
we also have so much to give also
inspires us”, he said.
Musicians
refusing to
condemn bad
governance are
hypocrites
- Samklef
Following Simi’s recent
outburst condemning in
ternet fraud, which eventually
led to series of discussions
on the matter, popular musician
and producer, Samklef has advised
Nigerian musicians to
speak against the major problem,
bad governance instead of
wasting their time condemning internet
fraud.
The singer, who is apparently unhappy
with artistes over their silence,
spared no words in expressing his
displeasure on the matter.
“I’m not trying to say fraud is
good but guess what; the leaders
have been stealing from us and
yet these artistes won’t come out
and talk about the leaders who
stole from us, who took our
money to build other countries
while our country is like shit.
We’ve a northern leader but
the north is like shit. I’ve been
talking about Buhari for years,
I’ve been insulting all the pres
idents that haven’t been doing well.
But some artistes just go
on social media to
say petty things
because they
want to trend;
that is
bullshit, say
the truth.
I’m not
afraid of
anybody;
I’m just
speaking
my
Samklef
mind.
Hypocrisy
is
what has
been killing
us in
Nigeria,
we’re being
too fake. I’m
not saying
fraud is good but
that is not the only
problem we’re; we’ve
leadership crisis where our
leaders don’t know what to do. People are
suffering, people are dying.”
