Meanwhile, Omoni Oboli has been declared the best actress in Nigeria ahead of fellow A-list actresses such as Omotola Jaladi Ekeinde, Ini Edo, Genevieve Nnaji and Funke Akindele, among others.
According to the producer and director of the new movie, Render to Caesar, Desmond Ovbiagele and celebrated movie editor, Steve Shodiye, most times, Omoni’s scenes are used to clean up other actor’s scenes. Desmond said, as far as he was concerned, Omoni Oboli is the best for the roles she played in Render to Caeser, Anchor Baby and Figurine. He stressed that no actor could have played such roles the way she did.
Omoni Oboli in a few years has earned her place among the A-listers in Nollywood. She hit the limelight with her emotional wrenching performance in Anchor Baby and Figurine.

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.
