Nigerian Celebrities Protest Over Expulsion Of Redeemer’s University Final Year Student


Following the expulsion of Adebowale Adedayo by Redeemer’s University management over a Facebook post, Nigerian Celebrities have taken to their social media pages to call for the student to be forgiven and given his certificate.

The Theatre arts student was expelled few weeks to his convocation.
Nigerians including entertainer, Bankole Wellington aka Banky W, amongst others have expressed their displeasure at the expulsion.
They want him forgiven as they believe the so-called post didn’t mention the name of the Institution and was too flimsy an excuse for him to be deprived of a certificate he worked four years for.

Actor Richard Mofe-Damijo has won the Best Actor award at the just concluded Abuja International Film Festival (AIFF).

RMD, as he is fondly called won the diadem for his role in ‘Three Wise Men’, a faith-based film produced by Opa Williams.
This is the second laurel for the film, having won Tony Elumelu Award for Best Comedy Film Africa at the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) last July.
he took to his Instagram page to announce his winning Best Actor At The Abuja International Film Festival.
He wrote:
So I won the best actor for my role in 3 wise men at the just concluded Abuja international film festival. It couldn’t have come at a better time as we wrap the #glolafftafest2017 today. It’s been a long comic ride since April. Laughter is good for the soul, and even the bible acknowledges that a heart that is cheerful is as “medicine for the soul…” which is why I love to laugh and be merry. Like laughter, awards are good for the soul especially when they are not post mortem. 
People ask me why I still get excited over awards in acting since I have won tons of them. Well, yes, I still get tickled by acting awards, It’s who I am, it’s what I do and I absolutely love it.
It is my art and in it’s own way defines me, so any recognition of excellence ìs a validation that on my lane, I do good work. I adore and totally respect those who do same in their respective fields because when it all comes down to it, really, it’s how we impact our little corners that count. I am blessed and thankful that after 33 years of doing this work, I still hunger to be better everyday. My name is Richard Mofe-Damijo I am an actor, grateful for the liberty to express myself through my craft. Who are you?

3 Nigerian Billionaires And The Expensive Yachts They Own

3 Nigerian Billionaires And The Expensive Yachts They Own


Nigeria has its fair share of filthy rich billionaires who can afford to live life well above that of the average. These high and mighty men possess affluence and a means with which they can acquire all the finer things of life, yachts included.
Stargist.com presents 3 men who are billionaires and have beautiful yachts you just need to take a look at.
1. Femi Otedola
The oil and gas sector powerhouse is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Zenon Petroleum and Gas limited.
Chairman of Forte Oil, Femi Otedola owns a yacht very similar to Dangote’s own and its called Nana.
Otedola’s yacht is usually docked at Walter Carrington In Victoria Island. The beautiful boat was rented to out Mavin first lady and Forte Oil ambassador, Tiwa Savage for her baby shower.
Femi’s yacht has also played host to the likes of Davido and Dele Momodu in the past.
 
2. Aliko Dangote
Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, owns a luxury yacht called the ‘Mariya’ which he purchased in 2013. Very little is known about the yacht – who built it or how big it is. Reports have it that the boat costs about $43 million.
Photos on the internet show that the yacht looks exactly like the one owned by oil magnate, Femi Otedola only slightly smaller.
After purchasing it, Dangote had the custom made yacht docked right next to the one belonging to Dangote’s close friend and fellow Forbes billionaire, Femi Otedola.
During Sallah this year, he treated his fellow billionaire friends to a treat on his yacht.
3. Kola Aluko
Kola Aluko is a Nigerian energy business magnate majorly concerned about African infrastructure development and aviation.
The burgeoning businessman is the Co-Chief Officer and an Executive Director of Atlantic Energy, an indigenous, private upstream oil and gas company, focused on independent exploration and production (‘E&P”) participation in Nigeria.
The 46-year-old business tycoon has a lot of influence in the Nigerian government and is close allies with former minister of petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke. Certain reports disclosed by SaharaReporters allege that he was a front man who laundered most of Diezani’s ill-gotten wealth.
Despite reports that the yacht costs $900,000 a week (£580,000) to charter, we learnt you have to know Kola Aluko before you can rent the yacht.
It was once rented out to American music industry power couple, Jay Z and Beyonce for a holiday cruise.
