Tuesday, October 1st, 2013,
Nigeria’s 53rd Independence Anniversary turned out to be a memorable celebration for the children who were opportuned to attend the 3rd edition of Ostyles Stars Series held at the silver birds premises, former Obi Wali Cultural Centre, along Abonnema Wharf Road Port Harcourt.
The children played together, sang danced, watched the funny jokes of comedians and clowns as well as other side attractions. According to the organiser of the event, Mr. Ockiya, Orise Ostyles, startimes is an outfit from silver bird entertainment to celebrate the children and their various talents.
He noted that the event also gives the children opportunity to celebrate their birthday at a particular month of the year and children born in the month’s of September and October cut their birthday cake at the event.
The coordinator stressed that the children decided to celebrate the green white green because at 53 and beyond, Nigeria still has a lot of positive development to offer.
He contended that the organisation also gives awards of honour and recognition to distinguished personalities who have contributed to child education, fight against child abuse enforcement of the child right Act as well as others who have affected the lives of the children positively.
According to him, the award is conferred on recipients every 27th of May which is also celebrated annually as the children’s’ day. He said so far, Dame Alice Lawrence Nemi, the Rivers State Commissioner for education as one of the recipients of the award while others are being considered.
Miss Patience Amadi one of the participants in the dancing competition who spoke on behalf of the other children thanked organizers for coming up with such entertaining annual event which brings children from all parts of the state together. According to her it is usually fun times at star times and we look forward to it every year.
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.
