James Olarewaju aka Baba Ijesha

Convicted actor and an inmate of the Nigerian Correctional Service facility in Kirikiri, Olarewaju Omiyinka James alias Baba Ijesha may be doing time at the prison for a despicable act of child molestation but among his inmates he has become something of a hero.

Baba Ijesha was said to have killed a snake with his bare hands at the facility recently. According to Alaroye, the Nollywood actor was said to have seized a big snake lurking under a generating set close to the Chief Warder’s office and killed it by slamming it to the ground.

The incident took place penultimate week when Baba Ijesha was on his way to receive medical treatment at the facility’s clinic. Within the premises, he noticed some inmates running helter-skelter, and inquired what the pandemonium was all about.

Those at the scene told him that they were seeking to kill a big snake, as they were holding sticks, iron rods and stones to kill the animal but they couldn’t move close to it.

Immediately, he made his way to the generator where the snake was hiding, shifted the generator, swiftly picked up the snake, swerved it vigorously and slammed it to the ground, causing its death.

The inmates expressed admiration for his courage and went on telling others about his feat of killing a big snake without the use of any weapon.

Baba Ijesha was sentenced to 16 years in prison after being found guilty of child molestation.

Funke Akindele,Toyin Abraham in another battle of wits

It is no news that in the last five years, film producers cum actresses, Funke Akindele and Toyin Abraham have been engaged in an unspoken rivalry.

In fact, industry players claimed that their rivalry has resulted in both actresses not featuring in the same film until Bolanle Austen Peters decided to have both actresses on the set of Netflix original, ‘House of Gaa.’

The two actresses have become cinema queens after embracing and producing some of Nigeria’s highest grossings films in cinema in the last five years.

Though Akindele seems to have won the battle on the streets of cinema with at least three of her flicks grossing the highest numbers, Abraham has also given her a run for her money every year.

Hence, 2024 won’t be different as both popular producers have their films in the cinema again this December.

With all the right marketing put in place to ensure both films enjoy great time at the box office, the film stars are still not leaving any stone unturned in ensuring they surpass each other in 2024.

Interestingly, the two actresses have shared two common factors that only industry watchers have noticed for the 2024 productions. Both producers have FilmOne distributing their works, which incidentally, are fresh installments of their old franchises – Akindele returns with ‘Everybody Loves Jenifa’ while Abraham is in the cinema with ‘Alakada: Bad and Boujee.’

On Wednesday, December 18, film lovers claimed that both actresses were spotted at the Ikeja City Mall, for meet and greet with fans individually.

It is unsure if the rivalry will see an end as both producers have pitched their tents with a December release in the cinema.

Keen watchers also believe the rivalry might grow further with the entrant of Mercy Aigbe, who seems to have jumped on the wagon after the releases of her films, ‘Ada Omo Daddy’ and ‘Thin Line,’ in December 2023 and 2024 respectively.

Accept broke men or put up with busy ones – Kanayo O. Kanayo tells ladies

Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has shared his thoughts on relationships and what women may need to consider when choosing a partner.

In a recent post on his Instagram page, he advised ladies to think carefully about their priorities and what they are willing to accept in a relationship.

Kanayo O. Kanayo suggested that women who are not willing to be with someone who is financially struggling may need to be prepared to date someone who is very busy and has limited time to devote to a relationship.

He presented this as a trade-off, implying that women may need to make a choice between these two options.

On his Instagram page, Kanayo wrote:

“The gentleman’s code: If you don’t want a man who is broke, you are going to have to put up with a busy one.”

In another news, Kanayo defends Davido amid backlash over economic comment.

In a recent interview, Davido advised African Americans against relocating to Africa, citing Nigeria’s dire economic conditions as a case study.

The statement has since ignited widespread criticism, with many calling for the musician to apologize.

However, Kanayo, currently in the UK, addressed the controversy in a video shared on Instagram, urging Nigerians to respect Davido’s right to free speech.

The veteran actor highlighted that Davido, despite his privileged background, made the comments out of concern for the average Nigerian.

Dismissing the demands for an apology, Kanayo said:

“Nigerians make una leave Davido alone about the comment he made; it’s freedom of speech and he made it in good faith. It is left for those in power to work harder to give us a better Nigeria. We need to build a better Nigeria,” he said partly.

“Some people say he should apologize; apologize for what? He’s a Nigerian and he made his statement in good faith. Those who criticize us wants the best out of us. Davido and his family can feed well but he speaks for other Nigerians who cannot,” he added.

Hold Naira Marley, Zinoleesky responsible if I die, says Lil Smart

Singer and dancer Lil Smart has made shocking allegations against his former Marlian Records colleagues, Naira Marley and Zinoleesky.

In a series of Instagram posts on Sunday, December 8, Lil Smart claimed he was violently attacked by the duo and their associates.

According to him, the ordeal began when he was allegedly “kidnapped” and taken to a remote location where Naira Marley, Zinoleesky, and others—identified as “INN” and “MMP”—brutally assaulted him. Lil Smart alleged that he was stripped naked, and his attackers attempted to break his legs with stones.

He recounted narrowly escaping to the expressway without clothes and shared videos showing his injuries, including bruises on his legs, arms, and face. Another video purportedly shows Zinoleesky chasing after him.

Lil Smart also accused Naira Marley of wanting to “kill him,” alleging that the record label was trying to subject him to the same fate as Mohbad, another former Marlian Records signee who tragically died in 2023.

In a chilling claim, Lil Smart shared a screenshot of a message suggesting that Marlian Records planned to harm him, similar to what allegedly happened to Mohbad.

This accusation follows widespread controversies surrounding Naira Marley and his crew after Mohbad’s death, with many Nigerians demanding accountability for the alleged harassment and intimidation faced by artists under the label.

The Marlian Records camp has not yet responded to these new allegations. As the story unfolds, public outrage continues to grow, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the claims against Naira Marley and his associates.
