Twin Sisters Storm Nollywood With Compulsory Risk
Nollywood twin sisters Chidiebere and Chdinma Aneke popularly known as the ‘Aneke Twins’ in Nollywood are identical twins whose stricking remembrance will marvel any person getting to know them for the first time.
Having been in Nollywood for quite some time they have cut their teeth in the make believe industry, rising gradually from the ranks to movie producers which they achieved through a dint of hardwork.
Their latest movie titled “compulsory Risk”, is a movie which tells a story of an identical twin whose facial resemblance created a situation that allowed one sister to get married to the other’s fiance’ without the man knowing that he fell for her other sister.
The movie which grulped about N2.5 million was slot in Enugu about two months ago. Among the other artistes that featured in the movie are Patience Ozokwor Van Vicker Camilla Mbereke among others.
The twin sisters noted that ‘the movie will create a new impression about us in the industry because people believed that we can only do movies where we play roles of local girls. But with “compulsory risk” we are out to create new image of ourselves to people.”
“People should know that the growth in Nollywood is a gradual process that comes with time and it is a reflection of our drive to be focused actresses in the motion picture industry,” they said.
R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
