Three Knight Film Production in conjunction with B5 Films and Monomania Entertainment is finally set to release one of Nollywood’s most anticipated film of the year titled, Lugard in Cinemas on the 27 of August 2021.
The movie tells the intriguing story of an intelligent new entry university student who was initiated into cultism due to his intimidating brain power. After his first assignment which led to the death of a rival confraternity leader, Lugard’s life is being hunted.
The movie which was shot with exceptional performance features top Nollywood stars like Gabriel Afolanya, Kehide Bankole, Adeniyi Johnson, Hafiz ‘saka’ Oyetoro Debo, Zack Orji, Mr Macaroni, Adebayo Omowunmi, Dada Laduba Quadiri, Nobert Young, Kalu Ikeagwu, Tunji Adeyemo among others.
The heavily performance driven movie was directed by Tunde Olaoye and written by Laduba Quadri and Segun Akejeje.
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.
