Untold Story Of Kelvin, The Most Wanted Kidnapper

UNTIL he was seized, four days ago, at about3.00 am, at an undisclosed hotel, in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State, many people, including security officials, only mentioned his name in whispers. He was simply known as Kelvin, the most wanted kidnapper/armed robbery kingpin in Delta State, who hails from Kokori in Ethiope-East Local Government Area.

It was as if the dreaded suspect, described by the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, as insane and a drug addict, would spiritually manifest if his name was mentioned.   Police officers never liked being deployed in search of him, despite his alleged naked exploits  because he was believed to possess very powerful charms and also sadistic.

Even soldiers, who had mounted siege for him for months over the alleged killing of some military men, last year, by his gang, before he was finally arrested in Port-Harcourt by a combined team of army Department of State Security, and DSS, operatives, have their own tales.

In fact, his hour of arrest has been given an impervious undertone. A villager told Sunday Vanguard in Warri, “I was told by doctors and nurses that 3:00 am is the time of night when the body is at its lowest ebb, and it seems to be the time that a large percentage of people in hospitals die”

A spiritualist, Mr. Johnson Nege, asserted, “In European mythology, 3.00 am is regarded as the witching hour – that is the time when supernatural creatures such as witches, demons and ghosts are thought to be at their most powerful, and black magic at its most effective. This hour is typically midnight, and the term may now be used to refer to midnight, or any late hour.”

Unmasking the masquerade
Undeniably, it was only after Kelvin was arrested, September 25, that his full names, Kelvin Prosper Oniarah, came to light from the DSS in Abuja.

For the avoidance of doubt, Police Commissioner Aduba, in an interview exclusively published by Vanguard same day the suspect was arrested in Port Harcourt, officially gave his name for the first time as Kelvin Oniarah.

The police had, shortly after the suspect, who had been on the wanted list,  breached security by appearing “live” in Kokori, September 17, and melted into the thin air after issuing a 60-day ultimatum to government, identified him as Kelvin Obruvbe. But Aduba told Sunday Vanguard the suspect’s name is Kelvin Oniarah.

The façade
Unknown to his kinsmen, who he gave the impression that he was a freedom fighter and Robinhood of sort, Kelvin, confirmed by Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, who provided logistics for security agencies in the manhunt for him to have cells in no fewer than six states, is alleged to be the most deadly kidnap kingpin in the South-south.

But in Kokori, not many recognized that the diminutive youth, understandably less than 40 years, as such a cold-hearted killer, ferocious armed robber, poisonous kidnapper and terrorist. That is not to say that the elders, women and youths, who shared from his alleged loot whenever he came to his Irevwurie Street abode, did not suspect he is a criminal.

A knowledgeable indigene of the community told Sunday Vanguard in Warri, “Honestly, Kokori is a big community and Kelvin is not known there until less than two years ago when his name became associated with high-profile kidnap and armed robbery cases.

“Like I said, it is a big town, nobody really cared about him, he is a small boy until all of a sudden we started hearing about him, particularly about his criminal activities. People do not even know his father’s name, but his grandfather’s name is Oniarah. He (Kelvin) is not a popular person as such because he has not done anything big for the people.

“Let me say it was just last year when he was declared wanted that he really came to be noted by people in Kokori. The search for him was on when he attacked some warders, conveying suspects, among them members of his gang, to court, killed some warders and rescued his men,  some months ago, in Warri. He managed to escape and security agents flooded Kokori, the police razed his family house.

Sporadic visit
“He ran out of town, but he, nevertheless, comes to town irregularly. There was a time it actually looked that he had made so much money from his operations, which nobody had full idea of, and he would come to town and share money to people.”

Blood money
The source went on, “His willingness to splash his loot, sometimes  N1,000, N2,000 and N5,000, to children, youth and women, endeared him to the ‘hungry’ villagers. This was in Kokori until penultimate Tuesday when he came in military fatigue with eight of his boys to declare that he had founded a group, Liberation Movement of the Urhobo People, LIMUP, to liberate them.

Ignorance
“They ignorantly believed him. You see, anytime he came to town before, it was in plain clothes, but on that day, he came in military fatigue, indicating that he was ready to fight for the emancipation of the people.

“Anytime Kelvin came to Kokori, he would stay about two days, not more than that. Within the period, he would see the people he wanted to see and, before you know it, he was gone. You see him in Kokori when people were not expecting him and when he told the people this time that he was going to fight government and oil companies that were allegedly oppressing them; they believed a messiah had come.”

“He told them Kokori has not been developed by government and that the same thing went with Urhobo land, it was the truth and they saw with him. However, I must tell you that it is not true that elderly persons here were supporting Kelvin. It is just that nobody wanted to be dragged into a situation with him and his boys.

Why elders could not speak out
“His infamous activities obviously threatened the peace of the community with the incursion of security agents at different times. Even our king, who just received his staff of office and barely three months on the throne, found himself in a quagmire.

“Should he hand over one of his subjects to security agencies and face the backlash at home from his chiefs and people, who will accuse him as a betrayer or damn the consequences. If he supported Kelvin, he was in trouble, if he didn’t support him, he was in trouble, that was his dilemma.”

With so much money he allegedly made from kidnapping, and he reportedly held sway in not less than six states, Delta, Edo, Rivers, Abia, Benue and Oyo, Kelvin turned Kokori to the axis of death for his victims and security agents.

Lifestyle
He was said to have lived a deceitful and lavish lifestyle and hibernated frequently in hotels. Money was not essentially his problem, as he was audacious and bold in his operations. It was said that he never collected small ransom and when he negotiated ransom, the negotiator on the other side was left with no other impression than the guy was mean, and the best thing to do was to raise the ransom at all costs.

When Lagos lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, was allegedly abducted by Kelvin and his boys, last month, they told him plainly that they were graduates, who were pushed to the deadly business, condemned by the Almighty God, and that was why Ozekhome, when he came out, said those who kidnapped were unemployed graduates and asked for amnesty for them.

Security agents consider coming to Kokori on any assignment as a deadly mission. Commissioner Aduba alleged, at a time, that most of the motor-cyclists operating in Kokori were on the payroll of Kelvin, who bought the motorcycles for them. He said they normally passed information to him whenever they see security agents or were asked probing questions about the suspected gangster.

It was the intelligence report that led to the banning of commercial motorcycle transportation in Kokori and other parts of Ethiope East, but the bandit was not deterred.

Training school
Aduba alleged that the kingpin had a school where he trained kidnappers, both graduates and, undergraduates,   and according to a security report,  he once boasted  to a top security chief on phone that even if he was arrested and killed,  his boys would continue with the kidnapping business.

Kelvin’s family home in Kokori, which was destroyed by the police, this year, was said to have served as a recruitment and training centre for kidnappers. His second-in-command was said to be a mechanical engineering graduate from the South-east, while Kelvin himself is also a graduate.

In an interview before Kelvin was reined in, Aduba revealed, “Kelvin recruits undergraduates, graduates, Okada riders, and he buys motorcycles for them and tutors them. He has so many gangs in the state working for him. There is a network; this is what I have discovered and we have been finding it difficult to get at him because, in that axis, the moment they see any stranger, they will blow the whistle.

“However, we have been able to bulldoze to some extent; it was in Kelvin’s house that we picked up the personal assistant to a commissioner in the Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, who was kidnapped. His (Kelvin) parents were there, but you know this arrest by proxy, we do not want to be involved in it.”

The Commission went on: “Kelvin is a dare-devil criminal and is not friendly with anybody – he is a drug addict, insane and cannot be relied upon by anybody. Kelvin and his gang even tried to kidnap his traditional ruler- the Ovie of Agbon clan and the Special Adviser to a civil commissioner, who is from Kokori.”

Kingpin’s parents flee community
Kelvin’s parents escaped from the town when the bombardment by security agents, who were looking for their son, became suffocating. Their whereabouts and what advice they gave to their son could not be ascertained.

Military operation
Given the suspect’s very strong network in the South-south, South-east, South-west and North, it would be a costly error to assume that his boast that his boys would continue to be in operation even if he was arrested was empty.
Governor Uduaghan, who found it strange at leaders from Kokori community could not boldly give him information on how to nail Kelvin, even in secret, when he invited them, understands what it means to allow the suspect’s boys to reorganize after the arrest of their master.

He told reporters, Thursday evening, in Warri, after a security meeting, that the army had commenced a full-scale operation to flush out associates of Kelvin and other criminals from Kokori.

Intelligence revealed that his boys still holed up in the area may carry out a reprisal attack over his arrest and so, the army were said to be in an “internal operation” to checkmate possible action by the elements loyal to the suspect.

After Kelvin’s arrest, on Wednesday, more soldiers, policemen and other security personnel were deployed in Kokori.

Operational bases
A reliable source, however, told Sunday Vanguard, “Kelvin’s operational base is not in Kokori. I do not know where it is, but this is somebody I can tell you hardly stayed in Kokori more than two days and he was off,  he, no doubt, had sophisticated gangs, but I think they were scattered over the country. He was only coming to Kokori to show off as a big boy.”

The DSS, in a statement in Abuja through its Deputy Director, Press and Public Relations, Marilyn Ogar, said Kelvin “maintained operational bases and detention camps in Warri and Kokori community in Delta State, Ugbokolo community in Benue State, Benin City in Edo State, and Aba in Abia State.”

Strike: ASUU is lying, says FG

The Federal Government has accused the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian Universities (ASUU) of being economical with the truth on lecturers prolonged industrial action in the universities.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Youth and Students Matters, Com. Jude Imagwe, stated that the claim by the union that its action was to restore infrastructural decay in universities was nothing but  a lie, noting that ASUU was fighting for allowances.

Imagwe was speaking in Abuja when he received some youth groups, who were on a visit to his office.

His words: “They initially told us that it was about infrastructure, but it is about allowances. N30b has been released for the payment of their accumulated allowances, and N100b earmarked for infrastructural development. It is important for the public to know that government did not say this is all that it will give, but government says go and start the payment with this amount and let us know the amount it will add”.

Meanwhile, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, will tomorrow join ASUU on strike as the union said it has mobilized its members across the country to embark on industrial action over alleged stoppage of their salaries for two months.

SSANU, in a letter, dated 27 September, 2013, and addressed to its branch chairmen in all the universities in the country, directed its members to stay away from work from tomorrow until the salaries are fully paid.

The President of SSANU, Comrade Samson Ugwoke, said the strike will be total, while the General Secretary, who signed the letter directing members to stay at home from tomorrow, Comrade Promise Adewusi, said no member should go back to work until a counter directive was given.

Adewusi stated that the union took the decision following its  letters to the vice-chancellors in  universities, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, Ministers of Labour and Productivity, Chief Emeka Wogu and Education, Nyesom Wike, as well as the Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission, Prof. Julius Okojie.

In the meantime, the suspended strike by the Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) is to resume on Friday.

The union alleged insincerity and failure of the Federal Government to honour agreement entered with the union.

The union also passed a vote of no confidence on the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), alleging that the board has failed to meet the needs and demands of polytechnic education in the country.

Young, rich rulers of Naija music



A new generation of artistes are rocking the entertainment scene and smiling to the bank, JAYNE AUGOYE reports

A wind of change is currently blowing across the music industry in Nigeria. A new order championed by young, vibrant and talented artistes has emerged. Rather than curse the day that their children decided to embrace a career in music instead of education, the parents of these wave-making artistes are pleased with the success they have achieved.

Today, the young artistes are giving the older and established stars a run for their money. These new-wave superstars now rub shoulders with the same artistes whom they once looked up to or chose as role models.

Apart from competing with the ‘old guards’ in terms of income and expenditure, they are often nominated for major music awards in similar categories.

Multinationals and telecommunications outfits, as well as other major events sponsors, have realised that the younger generation of music artistes represent the future of entertainment in Nigeria. With a good number of them aged between 20 and 25 years and a few others barely clocking 30, the sky seems to be the limit.

Many of the emerging stars are not just rich; they flaunt their wealth at every given opportunity. It seems that the rewards for their modest efforts at making many Nigerians happy are without limit and they always come in the form of luxury mansions, sold-out concerts, huge fan base, state-of-the-art cars, bestselling albums, multi-million naira endorsement deals, chattered flights, big budget videos, custom-made outfits, ‘bling bling’ and generous airplay on terrestrial TV stations.

Usually dressed in sagging pairs of trousers with expensive jewellery around their necks, many of them charge as much as N1.5m to mime to their songs for only 10 minutes at wedding parties or concerts. Many of them had to drop out of school to pursue a career in music.

E-Punch presents six young music stars that have taken the music scene by storm.

Wizkid

At 23, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, a.k.a Wizkid, leads the pack. A string of endorsement deals, including one from MTN, has placed him on the list of big earning music artistes in Nigeria. At present, he is the highest paid Pepsi Ambassador in Africa and he lives in a N140m choice home in Lekki, Lagos.

Wizkid’s personal cars include a N14.6million Porsche Panamera, Rolls Royce, N10m BMW X6, N6million blue Volkswagen convertible and a Hyndai Sonata.

The talented singer, songwriter and performer has emerged one of Nigeria’s hottest music acts, seven years after he broke into the Nigerian music scene. The last child in a family of six, Wizkid began to sing at the age of 11. Like new wine, his performance matured with age. His talent has taken him to different parts of the world and seen him perform alongside world class artistes, such as Chris Brown, Akon, and Young Jeezy, and Kardinal Official.

The young man’s fortunes improved in 2012, a few months after he released his Superstar album. As expected, his rating soared in the same year and he was named the second most influential Nigerian artiste on Twitter, an enviable position which clearly reflected his growing popularity.

Wizkid’s position on the African music chart was further justified after he made it to the Channel O/Forbes List of Bankable African Artistes. Mentioned alongside big weights like Don Jazzy, Psquare, D’banj, he was placed ahead of Tuface Idibia, on the list. Early in the year, he threw a free appreciation party for his fans at the New African Shrine.  He has the BET, MTV, Channel O, Ghana Music Awards to his credit.

Olamide

Olamide Adedeji, aka Badoo, has succeeded in filling the vacuum created by the death of rap sensation, Dagrin. The alternative rapper, who has redefined the word Razz as the new cool, has been dubbed the ‘king of the streets. He recently signed a multimillion naira endorsement deal with the makers of  Ciroc Ultra Premium vodka.

For the self acclaimed ‘Voice of the Street’, who grew up in the Bariga area of Lagos, fame did not come cheap.  He fell in love with rap music at a tender age and was always visiting renowned producer ID Cabasa’s music studio in his school uniform.

Today, Olamide hobnobs with some of the industry big names, especially D’banj. Pictures of both artistes surfaced online and their close relationship gave room to speculation that he had been signed on to the seld-styled Koko Master’s record label.

The rapper’s hit songs comprise Jale, Street Love, Jesu O kola, Durosoke, Stupid Love, First of All and Ilefo Illuminati. His forthcoming album titled ‘Baddest Guy Ever Liveth’ will be released in October.

Today, the 24-year-old star acquired a brand new 2013 Range Rover Sport. He also topped the winners list at the 2013 Nigerian Entertainments Awards in New York, US, with three awards.

Ice Prince

Twenty-six-year-old Ice Prince lives like a true superstar. A proud owner of a 2010 model of Bentley GT, a Range Rover SUV, among many others, the Chocolate City Records ‘golden boy’ is also a BET Awards winner. Since his first single ‘Oleku’ was released, he has witnessed a meteoric rise to the top.

He gained international recognition after beating 2face Idibia to the Best International Act Award at the BET Awards. He recently relocated from his apartment in Palm Groove Estate, Lagos to a bigger apartment in the Ogudu area, after completing a mansion in his hometown, Jos. The buzz around him got louder after he appeared in Yvonne Nelson’s ‘House of Gold’ alongside Ghanaian actor, Majid Michael.

Dammy Krane

At 19, this 2face Idibia protégé is the youngest of the pack. He hit the limelight after signing on 2face’s Hypertek Records in 2012. He started singing when he was eight years-old in the toddlers’ choir in church. By the time he clocked 11, he was already a back-up singer for other artistes. His mum, who is currently based in the US, manages a number of Fuji artistes.

 Long before he put out an official single, music video, or inked a record deal, he had over 4,000 followers on twitter. With his hit singles, My Dear and Ligali, the artiste known for his melodic voice, engaging lyrics and exciting genre of alternative music has collaborated with the biggest names in the industry.

Burna Boy

 Burna Boy made newspaper headlines after reports emerged that he sold the marketing rights to his debut album, ‘Leaving an impact for eternity’ for N10m to popular Alaba music and movie marketer, Uba Pacific.

The album is also said to have made a record sale of 40,000 units on the day of its release.

The singer has the backing of his grandfather, Benson Idonije, who was the manager of the late Afrobeat legend, Fela Kuti.

Burna Boy officially broke into the music industry in December 2010 when he moved back to Nigeria from London and has remained a household name in Port-Harcourt. But, it wasn’t until June, 2012, when he made a cross-over to the Lagos music scene with his mid-tempo Summer Jam, Like to Party. He is a Globacom Ambassador.

Davido

At 20, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, is one of the most popular young artistes in Nigeria.  The singer drew the attention of millions of music fans when he introduced himself as Omo baba olowo in his hit song titled Dami duro. Translated from Yoruba to English language, it means ‘son of a rich man’.

Davido, whose father, Dr. Deji Adeleke, is the chairman of Keplo-Pacific Energy Pacific, a company that is involved in banking, steel, power and energy, found his way to the top as if with the snap of a finger.

The youngster, who is not afraid to boast about his father’s wealth, always causes a stir on Twitter with his controversial tweets.

So far, he has won some international awards and performed at various shows within and outside the country. He is also the face of MTN Pulse.

Davido’s personal collection of exotic cars comprise a silver 2012 Honda Accord, a 2012 Hyundai Sonata, which he won for being ‘Next Rated’ at the 2012 Headies, a N12m 2012 Audi Q7, N17m Chevrolet Camaro and a N21m Mercedes Benz G55 AMG, his fifth car since he shot to fame last year.

Tuface got me fame and fortune –Solidstar

Omotena crooner, Joshua Iniyezo, popularly known as Solidstar, tells Ademola Olonilua about his career and relationship with actress, Tonto Dikeh

Your album is coming out and the public expectation is way higher than your last album. What do you have to offer your fans?

I know there is a lot of expectation of me career-wise. I know I will live up to the expectation because I just released two songs online and the reviews are great. They are really doing well though we just released them online. The two songs are off the album. We just want everybody to go and get the album when it is out because there is going to be different things from Solidstar. People should expect different things from me because they know me as this R ‘n’B artiste but I changed their perception when I released, Omotena and Skibo. I want my fans to know that apart from this afro-pop, I still do reggae, dancehall and the likes. It is more like a very versatile album. I just want to give everybody a different feel and various options to choose from.

 This year has been good for you. It has been reported that you acquired multi-million naira properties this year alone. What did you do differently?

Last year, I performed a lot but most of them were free shows. I was only paid for a few. This year I made a lot of money, did a lot of things for a change. I told my team that we had to sit up. We had spent a lot on projects and we had to think of ways to get the money back. We had a meeting and decided that we all had to put in our best in whatever project we were doing. We thank God it worked out well. Now I am proud of not just my label, but of myself also.

 You are still with the label that discovered you, Achivas Music. Will you leave it at anytime like some artistes do leave their record labels?

I doubt if I will leave Achivas Music anytime soon because the management  has been doing well. It is hard to stay on your own because the challenge can be overwhelming. Even if I want to go, I will still be under it; something like an affiliation because it will not be easy. For now, I am still with Achievas.

 You are known to be very close to Tuface, why are you not signed to his record label, Hypertek Records?

I was already signed to Achivas Music before Hypertek Records became my friend. I knew Tuface through my record label. We became very close that some people even thought I was signed under Hypertek. Kudos to Tuface, I really appreciate what he has done for me over the years. He is part of my success story. He got me fame and fortune and I am really grateful to him.

 How is your grandmother who has always been there to support you and your dream?

My grandmother is late now. To me then, she was my everything; she meant the whole world to me and gave me all her support that my own mother and father did not give me. She sent me to school with the little she had. She was a prophetess and she had a church. She was the kind of woman that liked helping people and had a lot of people under her wings. She really tried for me and she is somebody that I will never forget. My granny would do anything to see me happy and I was her favourite grandchild.

 How do you feel, knowing your grandmother is not alive to witness your success?

I think about it most time and anytime I do, I feel very bad. I don’t cry though but I think about it. I just wish she was here to see her son doing good; if she were alive, she would never go hungry for a day. While she was alive, she never ever wanted to see me hungry. By now, I probably would have bought a house for her. I would have taken her to somewhere special.

 Is it true that you bought a 2013 Infinity SUV for N13m? Why are you not riding it about?

With the kind of weather we are experiencing now, there are just some places you would not want to take it to.

 Is it true you recently bought a property worth about N30m?

Yes, I did.

 Do you have any endorsement deal?

No. I don’t.

 How did you get all that money?

I got them from shows; God has been really merciful to me. He has been so wonderful to me. I did tours and got money from that too.

 Why did you switch from love songs to party songs?

I do music for love but at the same time, you have to look at the monetary aspect. We have spent a lot of money. I could remember back then when I sang ‘One in a million’, I sang with all my heart and soul but it did not bring me money. My account was crying. There was nothing coming in, all I got was that I was a talented artiste and I got lots of thumbs up. After much thoughts, I decided to change. I am very versatile; I can actually sing anything. I decided to change and see what would happen. That was when I did Omotena; that was a song that was different from my genre of music and it worked. I decided that the next one was going to be better. Then I did Skibo and the song was a hit.

 Are you dating Tonto Dikeh?

We do hang out. We relax together; we are very very close but not like girlfriend and boyfriend. We are really close. We hang out together, go to places and chill together.

 Will you cut your dreadlocks anytime soon?

I will but not yet because I still need to make a lot of money. I have a small face. My dreads are deceiving a lot of people. If I cut them off I will look like a small boy and you may not recognise me. When I have decided to relax with music, then I will cut them off.

Why did you pick Independence Day for your album launch?

The timing works for me. I feel releasing the album on October 1 will be very cool. That day is a free day; I doubt if anybody will release an album on that day. Everywhere will be relaxed. Being a free day, I am sure people’s attention will be focused on the album launch.

A woman’s struggle to stay out of prison


I was recently contacted to see an old client I worked with several years ago who had returned to Nigeria after a time in prison and intense therapy.

She has since returned to the UK and has reoffended. Today I look back at the work we did and ponder on what went wrong. I worked with Kemi for four years and at the end of our work together, she graciously acquiesced to my publishing vignettes from her therapy.

Kemi (not her real name) was 39 when we first met. I was making assessments of a new group of women who had recently been given prison sentences and had just arrived at the prisons to begin their sentences.

In the prisons, this is always a tricky time when prisoners first arrive. I was asked to make an assessment of the women who had been picked for me to see. I had to make a determination if they were suitable for individual or group therapy.

Out of the eight women I saw, five were white and three black. Kemi was the only African.  From the minute Kemi came into my presence, she was in battle mode. Most of the women who enter the psychological programme tend be very grateful for the opportunity to focus on their behaviour and past choices with the view to making better choices in the future. In that respect, from a therapist’s perspective there is a natural willingness on the clients’ part to work hard, with less resistance to the process than we might find with a different population.

I deemed three of the women unsuitable to work with due to certain risk factors in their mental health status and for potential security reasons. I was on the fence with Kemi because my instincts and expertise told me she was not ready for my programme, and she would be obstructive in a group. I also didn’t feel I had enough time to work with her individually within the prison environment.

Where I always come unstuck in these circumstances is when I am faced with a black woman but more specifically with an African. I am always loathed to turn away any African I am presented with who has some mental health issues. I always feel I have no choice in the matter, and that it is almost an ordination. I know it’s a bit crazy to think like that. I even tell myself it’s a bit narcissistic of me, and I have to constantly remind myself that I am not omnipotent, at the end of which I still engage with the client!

Well Kemi was combatant the minute she saw me. Culturally, I understood the particular looks she gave me, the hissing sounds she made, but to make it even clearer to me, I understood her distinct vernacular which was not complimentary to me. I found out later from Kemi that she was actually unaware that I was a Nigerian. I wondered about it because she kept speaking in Yoruba hauling abuses at the system, at the other women, and particularly at me.

I asked to see her privately and spoke to her in Yoruba, telling her I had not come there to be abused by the likes of her and that I had no desire to use my knowledge, expertise and goodwill within the prison to help an ungrateful person who deserved the punishment she was getting for what she did. I was attempting to use a bit of reverse psychology, but repositioning myself, all the while praying she wouldn’t rearrange my face.

Kemi looked visibly shaken by what I had said and the fact that I had spoken in Yoruba. Then she went to the other extreme and started praying for me and kneeling down. I assured her that wasn’t necessary and I just needed to know if she felt she could work within the programme because I had to make a decision and I was not sure about her. She assured me she would be the best in the group. I had that uneasy feeling again because I was not sure who Kemi was now going to metamorphose into.

I decided to work with Kemi individually for some time to ensure she would make the transition to the group smoothly. As it turned out, I continued working with Kemi individually for two years. Her attachment issues were so severe I determined she would find being in a group far too persecutory.

Kemi committed a crime on the request of a boyfriend who convinced her to become a ‘mule’. When she was caught, he completely abandoned her and the British courts were extremely punitive in the sentence they gave her. There is a tendency to mete out harsher sentences to women, and even harsher sentences to foreign women who commit similar offences to their British counterparts.

Kemi had been in the final year of a high academic degree, when she was committed to prison, and she had also been planning to wed her boyfriend who had subsequently abandoned her. To say Kemi had anger issues was an understatement. Her rage was so intense it was palpable when in her company. This was one of the major areas we had to work on as I knew without a doubt and from talking to prison authorities; she didn’t stand a chance of probation if she continued to display that level of animosity.

I constantly validated her right to be incensed by what had happened but also told her she needed to take responsibility for her own culpability, redirect her anger to ensuring she could get out of the ‘joint’ as we playfully called prison. The plan and aim was for her to use all her smarts to get out of jail in one piece, complete her degree and have a great life. That was the best revenge she should strive for.

Kemi was beset with shame, identity crisis, self hatred, rage, despair and a sense of abandonment. She had managed to hide her incarceration from her family. She sometimes felt such a rush of intrusive emotions it was ineffable.

After working with Kemi in prison weekly, sometimes more for almost three years, she was able to get probation and I continued to work with her outside prison for another year. We finished her therapy and she returned back home to Nigeria.

Kemi is now back in the UK through the aid of illegal papers and has been incarcerated again while claiming asylum due to persecution.

Banky W is single again + says Nigerian Ent. industry is more fame than fortune


In an interview with Nigerian Tribune yesterday, Banky W opened up about his relationship status. When asked if he was in a relationship, Banky replied 'Not at the moment.' Guess his relationship with Ghanaian beauty Andrea Giaccaglia has packed up...or maybe he just wants to get the blogs off his back. Lol. Anyway Mr Capable also reacted to the Forbes/Channel O list of the Top 10 Most Bankable African artists 2013where he was placed at No.10, Banky says the Nigerian entertainment industry is more fame than money. When asked how he felt about the list, Banky replied

    I don’t believe very much in such things. Let’s be honest, the real wealthy people are the businessmen like Dangote and the politicians (some of whom got there by looting Nigeria). They’re the ones with real money. This entertainment business is too much hype. It is more fame than fortune. So I’m not thrilled by it and I don’t think any of us should buy into it too much. I’d rather be wealthy and quiet than famous and broke.

Read the full interview after the cut..

Banky spoke with Ibikun Akinyemi of Nigerian Tribune

What have you been up to recently?
I’ve been working hard, pretty much. On the music side, I’ve been working on collaborations with different artistes.I’ve recently completed really good songs for Black Magic, Sarkodie, MoCheddah, Lynxxx, Ketchup, Victoria Kimani and Vector. Internally (within EME), I’m contributing to Wizkid’s album, as well as projects for Skales, ShayDee and Niyola. Outside of all this, I’ve been giving speeches at various events, as well as working on a couple of potentially great movie projects.

How did the musical journey begin?
It really started when I was a kid. I sang everywhere. From Church, to school and neighbourhood street parties and in many groups. Professionally, it started in 2002/2003 while I was in the University. That’s when I actually recorded for the first time and set up the EME record label independently and started putting music out.

Having lots of hit songs, which song would you say brought you to limelight?
Most people think it all started with the release of ‘Ebute Meta’ (Umbrella Remix) but actually, it began with a song called “My Regret” that came out while I was in the United States of America. That is the song that brought me attention from people all over the world; I won the John Lennon songwriting award in R&B for that song.

What was the inspiration behind it?
Like the majority of my successful songs, the inspiration was drawn from a woman I was intimate with at the time, and the ups and downs of our relationship.

What were your greatest musical influences growing up?
R&B, Hip hop, and African Music. Jay-Z, R Kelly, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Fela and everyone in between.

What would you have been if not an artiste?
I studied engineering in University so I could have stuck with that. Or I would have been an Artist (drawing, painting etc), or a lawyer, or teacher.

Is Banky in a relationship?
Not at the moment.

Tell us something no one knows about you.
I’m not sure how many people know this, but I shave my head and shape my beard myself. I’m my own barber. I’ve been doing it for years. It started when I was in University and didn’t have a lot of money, I learnt to maintain it myself so I didn’t need to spend money on it every week. And now I’m good at it so I’m my own barber. I will probably open a barbershop at some point.

What differentiate you from other artist?
I’d like to think it’s the totality of what I bring to the table, creatively and musically. There are better vocalists than me, for sure. But I not only sing.. I write, I rap, I produce, I entertain… I’m a motivational speaker and philanthropist, I act and I direct. It’d be hard to line up a lot of people who are able to do everything that I do… but of course, we give God the glory and the fans the thanks for letting me be myself.

Coming up at the 10th position of the Forbes rating, how did you feel?
I don’t believe very much in such things. Let’s be honest, the real wealthy people are the businessmen like Dangote and the politicians (some of whomgot there by looting Nigeria). They’re the ones with real money. This entertainment business is too much hype. It is more fame than fortune. So I’m not thrilled to it and I don’t think any of us should buy into it too much. I’d rather be wealthy and quiet than famous and broke.

As the CEO of EME, what challenges are you facing?
My official title is Chairman and Creative Director of EME. And I guess I’m facing the same challenges most label executives face… in that, you have a limited set of resources and a lot of people to look after. So you do the best you can to try and help each Artist achieve his/her dreams under your care.

What is your normal day like?
I try to pray but I definitely need to do a better job at that. At least three or four times a week, I try to put in work-out sessions with my personal trainer. After that it’s a mix of things; meetings, press obligations, social outings and performances or appearances that I’m booked to make.

Banky seems to be humble, what is the secret?
The truth is, the same people who love you and hail you today might be the ones crucifying you tomorrow, so you owe it to yourself to keep a level head. Don’t get too excited by the success, and don’t get too depressed by the failures. I just try to do the best job I can, and I remember my parents and how they raised me, and I surround myself with people that keep me in check (my manager, partners, etc). Some people make the deadly mistake of surrounding themselves with “Yes Men” the minute they become successful and the danger in that is there’s no balance. If everyone around you agrees with everything you do or say, and says you’re the best all the time, you’re taking a risk. Even the President of the USA, the most powerful man on earth, has a system of checks-and-balances in place, with congress and the Judiciary having the power to check him if his actions are too far out of line… how much more us?

How did you manage having a scandal free reputation?
I’d say probably the same reasons I stated above, plus, I carry myself the way I want people to see me and treat me. I’m no saint; trust me, not at all. But I am careful about how much I leave out there because people will use any and everything possible against you to bring you down.

How do you relax?
I try to sneak into the movie theatres occasionally, I hang out with friends and family, I read novels, and I love to travel and just go to places where less people know me so I can walk around and chill.

How do you feel when you are harassed by a fan?
There are times when it can be a lot to handle (like when you’re on a date, or with your parents, etc) but the truth is, it’s better that people want to harass you, or take pictures, or whatever. It’s worse if, as an artiste, you show up and no one notices or cares to disturb you at all. So it shows that you’re doing something right if people want to disturb you; so I definitely appreciate it, and I always try to make sure I honour every request by fans to take pictures or anything of that sort.

What is your take when people speak bad about you and Wizkid?
Jesus Christ was perfect, and people still spoke bad about him to the point that they killed him. How much less you, or me or Wiz? People will always want to say all kinds of things… and these days, people love bad news. And if you don’t give them the bad news, they start to create false bad news just because it’s more interesting. But there isn’t much you can do about it. You just try to be the best person you can be, and keep it moving.

You like hats a lot, why?
I have stopped wearing them a lot because people make too much of a big deal about it; my last CD cover, I went without it, and I do that a lot more these days. However, I really do like hats, and I think they add to my styling and make me stand out from the crowd.

What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
That is classified information. If I tell you I would have to kill you. (General laughter)

Any album in the making?
I’m actually working on a project now that will show my versatile side… people might not even believe it’s me when they first hear it. I will be doing more rap and more commercial sounding music… the purpose is just to show people that while I love to do R&B, they should never put me in a box and expect me to only do that. I’m versatile and I have a lot I want to show and prove. Stay tuned. I’m really excited about it. In the mean time we’re still pushing singles and videos from the R&BW album though.

What is the gadget you can’t do without?
My Samsung Galaxy S4 phone.

What is the most expensive thing in your wardrobe?
I’m honestly not sure. I don’t put too much value on material things like clothes and accessories.

Tell us your educational background
I went to Corona Primary School, Ikoyi; then Home Science Association Secondary School ,Alakuko, however I did my JSS2 year in Adrao in VI. I did 1 year in Colonie Central High School in Albany New York, and I got a Bachelor’s of Science in Industrial Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy New York.

Last word.
To the fans, thank you so much and God bless you all real good.

My wife is like a V12 engine —Gbemileke Oyinsan


Both on-air personalities, Gbemileke and Titi Oyinsan have been married for close to two years. New parents to twin girls, the much-loved couple relive the pros of being married to each other

 How long have you been married?

Titi: We got married 17 months ago.

 Was it love at first sight?

Oscar: No, it was more of friendship at first. I was on location working for Showtime Africa at that time and she was working for Soundcity. She thought I was a guest and for some reasons, she was fascinated by my shirt. She pulled me over for an interview only for her to find out that I also came there to work. After that, we began a good friendship, more professional because we were both in the media. We found out that we had common interests, goals, aspirations and background.

Titi: This was in 2008 and he had on a light pink shirt. I felt it was going to look good on camera and I had not even looked at his face.

 When was the turning point in your friendship?

Titi: It did not turn. It just grew, improved and blossomed. We realised that we understood each other to a great extent. There were so many questions that people would ask about him and for some reasons, I would just know the answer and it was vice versa for him.  We ended  up going for events together. I don’t know if there was a particular time he asked me out, we just found ourselves dating.

 How do you view being in the same industry?

Oscar: Most of the respect we have for each other stems from the fact that we are in the same industry and we have a common passion. It is a bonus and bedrock of everything we do. The love, romance and every other thing are offshoots of that.

 You were once colleagues…

Oscar: We both worked at Inspiration FM for three years and most people did not know we were dating until our second year there. Since we presented a show together, we got on air and did our job. A lot of our colleagues probably thought we were just close or we knew each other before and there was a strong friendship. It was not until we both started inviting them to each other’s functions that they started getting the hint that we were more than just co-hosts on air.

 How were you able to keep it professional?

Titi: First of all, God and secondly, patience, which is key. I was learning a lot of things from him and a lot of times, he would scold me for things I did wrong in the studio. He would give me a lot of instructions and I would rebel against them. However, I was gaining more from obeying instructions. He knew that he could trust me to be level-headed. If, for instance, we had an argument in the studio off-air, he trusts me to continue the show on-air as if all was well.

 Was it difficult deciding who should go and who should stay on the job?

Oscar: Truth is, as at the time I left, it was new grounds for management. They had not had that kind of situation on their hands before; so there was no set rule. They were not completely against it but as a man, I did not want all my eggs in one basket and I was working on setting up a media company. There was no way I could do that with the routine of Inspiration FM.  I was happy and satisfied that Titi had gotten to a point that she could handle the show we both used to present. There were a lot of incentives to make me stay but I was at a point where I knew what I wanted. It was not just about working; it was about setting a path for my family. I had proposed, we had been engaged for a year and I needed to think ahead. I had to move out and move on.

 Did you experience opposition?

Oscar: We had a lot of that from family and friends. Till tomorrow, a lot of people are still sceptical about the union because in the industry, there have been a lot of divorces. We are in a world where divorce is the new break-up. My parents have been married for 40 years, hers have been married for 29 years; we come from a background of families that have struggled and stayed together and most importantly, have respect for the institution called marriage. Also, we are Christians, not as a religion, but in principle.

 When did you decide to propose?

Oscar: Our third year at Inspiration FM was a major turning point for me. I just thought if I could come to work with this woman off-air, on–air and I still feel this way, it must either be I am pretending which means I would pretend for the rest of my life or I genuinely love her. If you do love at first sight, or all these fancy things that really look good in movies, once those things go, we are left with friendship. It is the friendship and the companionship that would matter. Sometimes, if you find people not enjoying their marriage, they probably got into it for different reasons. There was no foundation of friendship and a lot of people are eager to settle down.

 How did you propose?

Oscar: I did not have so much money and I wanted to keep it simple. There were a lot of expectations as to who Titi would marry and I did not let it get to me because I knew what I wanted. Since it was my birthday and we worked the night at a red carpet event, I got a room at the penthouse of a hotel. We ordered breakfast in the morning and one of the waiters came with three domes, the first two contained food and the third, a ring. I went down on my knees and proposed. Of course, it took a while for us to convince our families.

 Why?

Oscar: Due to the nature of our jobs

 What are those things you want to change about her?

Oscar: I would not change anything about her because she brings out the best and the worst in me. She is very stubborn, which could be a plus if harnessed properly. My wife is like a V12 engine, which  if you set the engine towards a wall and say ‘ram that wall’, it is the same energy she would use to ram that wall that she would use to give you headache if you don’t give her what she wants.  If I had given up, I would not have been a father to our beautiful twin girls.

Titi: He is good the way he is. Besides, it is not about changing someone, it is about improving the other person and redirecting that energy you consider negative. One of the many things I respect him for, is how he treats others with respect. He honours and believes in them, no matter how many times I state my doubts about a person. I have learnt a lot from him.

 Who is the first to apologise when you quarrel?

Oscar: It is not about who started the fight, it is about how soon we resolve the issue and make sure that particular situation does not occur again. I can count the number of times my father has raised his voice against my mother. One of the reasons why I and my wife get along so well is that there is a lot of contrast.

 Since becoming parents to your twin girls, do you still find time for each other?

Oscar: We must give credit to our mothers-in-law especially, Titi’s mum who has literally been with us from the beginning. We do find time once in a while and spending some could be as simple as taking a drive, a walk or seeing a movie.

 Is he romantic?

Titi: According to my mum, and she tells me this all the time, ‘Leke is so romantic.’ This is because he could come home with a piece of cake or something pretty in a pink box. There was an evening he came home with a box of chocolates for my mum. I appreciate those smaller things than the bigger ones.

 Do you have pet names for each other?

Titi: I call him Leke when I want to ask for something. I call him Gbemileke when I am exasperated about something and I call him ‘Baby’ when I am happy. The nickname we have both come to accept is Baba Ibeji and Mama Ibeji. It drives us nuts but it’s something to be happy about.

Oscar: I don’t know if it’s a nickname but I call her, ‘My guy’ when I need something. When I am angry, it’s her full name, Titilayo.

I always date the wrong guys – Funmi Fiberesima

She is a film producer, an actress and an entrepreneur in entertainment. Known as Funmi Fiberesima, she premiered her first movie recently. She talks about her life and career in this interview

 Who is Funmi Fiberesima?

I am a producer and actress but I like to refer to myself as entertainment entrepreneur because I handle the business of entertainment.

 What do you mean by that?

I am in the business of movie production. Apart from producing my first film, I am also involved in drama productions for the Nigerian Reproductive Health Association and I have also been doing production consultancy for the African Drama Association.

 What is the title of your film?

The movie is titled: Onikola.  It is a Yoruba film about female circumcision.

 As a member of the Fiberesima clan, how was growing up in the family?

Our family is a very large one.  The Fiberesimas are scattered all over United Kingdom and other parts of the world.  We come back many generations, even within the Fiberesima family, there are different households. I met one of my cousins last year for the first time in my life. My mom is from Ogun State and I was born in Lagos where I spent my childhood with my mother’s relative. I did not get to visit Rivers State until much later when she died.

 What in your background prepared you for the job of movie production?

I come from an entertainment family.  The Fiberesima family has been in entertainment right from when I was a kid. I remember that part of the syllabus that I had to study for my music exams had my uncle’s name, Adam Fiberesima in it.

 What did you study in school?

I did a certificate course in Theatre Arts and then moved over to Communications Studies at the University of Port Harcourt.

 How profitable has the entertainment business been for your family?

Nobody comes into the industry looking for money or profit; we all come in with a passion.  One has to be willing to work even though they are not going to be paid. If you come into the industry with the mindset of making profit, you are going to be frustrated pretty quickly. But you will make money eventually if you remain with your passion and if you don’t get discouraged along the way.

 Is the business all rosy for you?

No, it is not all rosy. I have made sacrifices but for now, I think I am comfortable. I am not desperate to make money.  I am in it for the passion and I believe that I will get to a point where I will be able to make money that will cover all the years of sacrifices.   Till then, I will continue to make sacrifices.

 Who financed your first movie?

 I came into the industry with my money. Nobody financed my first movie.

 How much did you spend producing the movie?

I spent close to N12m and that was because I ran into a lot of people that were thieves but my production was protected because of my background. I have learnt that if I have to give somebody any money, the person has to sign a written agreement. It got to a point, one of my directors attempted to hijack my production, claiming that it was his intellectual property! I bought the rights from the script writer and I paid for everything, but he was telling me it was his intellectual property because he directed the project.   I may be new in the industry but I am not new in business,   nobody can swindle me.

 The money must have come from your boyfriend

I don’t have a boyfriend.

 Why is that?

I seem to make all the wrong choices. The cliché that good girls like bad boys applies to my situation because I have a tendency to run into the wrong kind of guys.

 Did you fall for a bad boy?

Yes.  I fell for a couple of them.  I seem to have a track record in that area. The fact is that if one person does something bad to you and the second person does the same thing, you begin to ask if you have a problem.   I am currently going through rehabilitation process in church so that I can spot a good guy when he comes.

 What happened with the last guy you dated?

He is married now. We actually got engaged, he was a good guy but a boring one.

 What is his profession?

He is an Information Technology expert.

 Would you have preferred an actor to him?

No, I would not prefer an actor because I am not sure I would be able to endure the sight of my husband kissing another woman in a movie.

 But that is your profession…

I know. Our profession is the type that can drive a woman crazy.   I know there are some actors that do all that and are still committed to their homes but I don’t think I am secure enough to be an actor’s wife.

 How do your male colleagues react to the idea of a rich female producer?

 The men feel intimidated and they try to write me off, but I don’t care, if I make returns of just N1m from that film, I would be happy because it dealt with female genital mutilation, something that most people are no longer talking about. I have always been passionate about women and children.

 It is interesting to see a woman that is financially independent.

Fiberesima women are strong; my sister is doing a pretty good job with the African Movie Academy Awards and Ibinabo has a track record with the Actors Guild of Nigeria. I am glad to be toeing their paths and I hope that I will not put my family name to shame.

 What does style mean to you?

My style is exceptionally moody; when I am happy, my style is happy; when I am sad, my style is sad. You find me wearing black and navy blue when I am not happy.  Also, I like to look sexy when I feel sexy.

 What is your favourite food?

I don’t have a favourite food; the reason is that I like experimenting. I like travelling and trying out local dishes. The last time I was in New Delhi, India, I was hospitalised twice because of the pepper in their food.

 Do you believe in cosmetic surgery?

Yes I do, I am even considering doing one, and I am still doing research on it at the moment.

 Which one do you want to go for, breasts or face?

I won’t say much on that but Toolz has looks that I admire and you might see me looking like her very soon.

 That means you are considering buttocks and hip enhancement..

(Laughter) No comment on that.

 What would you want to be remembered for?

I want to be remembered for following my passion and staying true to it.

Reps at war over Okonjo-Iweala

CHAIRMEN of the joint committees of House of Representatives on Petroleum Upstream and Gas Resources, yesterday, warned House Committee Chairman on Finance, Rep Abdulmumin Jibrin to stop defending the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

The Chairman, House Committee on Petroleum Upstream, Muraino Ajibola and Chairman, Committee on Gas Resources, Bassey Ewa,  in a statement declared that Jibrin should stop misleading Nigerians on happenings in the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC.

But Jibrin in a reaction said: ”For two years I was the number one critic of the Minister of Finance, I only stated the obvious.

The two House Committee chairmen, who co-signed the  joint statement, cautioned their counterpart in Finance Committee to face his work rather than’ poke-nosing ‘into the affairs of their committees.

It would  be recalled that Rep Jibrin had recently, while  reacting to the call by Governor Rotimi Ameachi led Nigeria Governors Forum, NGF that the Finance Minister, Dr Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, should resign her position over her management of Nigeria’s economy had said that rather than calling on the Finance Minister to resign, the Minister of Petroleum Resources should be called to answer questions and give account of what was happening.

He had said:  “It is not the Minister of Finance, Nobody knows the quantum of crude we produce per day in this country, the Minister is not giving out any information and nobody is asking her.

”By our rules, since the Petroleum Committees have primary jurisdiction on the Ministry of Petroleum and its Agencies, other Committees of the House can request for first hand information from us as the need arises.

”Unfortunately, our colleague has never taken advantage of this but is interested in projecting the Petroleum Committees as not performing their oversight functions.

”We have noted with great concern Abdulmumin’s attempt to divert Nigerians’ attention from the statement credited to the NGF on where and how the sovereign wealth fund is being managed which falls within the purview of his office as the Chairman Committee on Finance.

”It is indeed the saddest day for our democracy and it smacks of compromise that a legislator and of course the chairman of Committee on Finance of the House of Representatives is now the public relations officer of a minister.

”We would have dismissed this statement in the greater interest of protecting the image and sanctity of the House of Representatives (so that the institution will not be seen as divided against itself), but this

rejoinder has become imperative on account of the following:  Abdulmumin’s press statement is an indictment that the Petroleum Committees of the House of Representatives are not performing their oversight function as required by the Rules of the House.

“There has been several similar misleading comments in the media concerning the Ministry of Petroleum Resources and the NNPC by Abdulmumin Jubrin.”

I became a Policeman because of free transportation – Fake Policeman

A mild drama unfolded at the Ikotun Police Division after a 48-year-old fake policeman rolled on the floor and cried, begging to be released.

The suspect, identified as Felix Braimoh, who was arrested in Ejigbo area of Lagos, said he was forced to impersonate a policeman to feed his children and also enjoy free transportation around Lagos.

Clad in a Mobile Police trousers and a beret, the father of five reportedly boarded a motorcycle from Cele Bus Stop, along Oshodi/Apapa expressway, to Ikotun.

However, on reaching Ejigbo the motorcycle rider, a Police Corporal, engaged Briamoh in a conversation about his division.

His inability to give a proper response aroused the suspicion of the rider, who reportedly stopped the motorbike and confronted Braimoh.

Just then, a Police patrol  team from Ikotun Division stopped to question both men and took them to the station.

During interrogation, Braimoh reportedly disclosed that he was not a policeman.

Asked where he got the police uniform from, Braimoh said: “A friend gave them to me.

“The pair of trousers is a mobile Police’s, the boots belong to a Man O’ War official, while I bought the beret from the market.”

‘Boko Haram’s Shekau appears in video after death claims

A man claiming to be the leader of Nigerian Islamist extremist group Boko Haram appeared in a video Wednesday taunting world leaders after military claims that he may have been killed.

“Here is Shekau, Shekau, Shekau, Shekau, original … I want the whole world to know that I’m alive by the grace of Allah,” said the man, who resembled past images of Abubakar Shekau, in a video seen by AFP.

Chinese man has new nose grown on his forehead after losing his nose in a car crash


A 22 year old Chinese man named Xiaolian has had a new nose grown on his forehead after loosing his original nose in a car accident. Xiaolian had the treatment to create a replacement for his original nose which was infected and deformed following the accident in 2012. He actually left his damaged nose unattended to after the accident which led to the infection and eventual deformity, leaving the surgeons unable to repair it.

Surgeons in China were left with no option than to create another nose for the man to breathe properly and then transplant it to the original place. The nose was created by placing a skin tissue expander onto Xiaolian’s forehead. This was cut into the shape of a nose and was supported by cartilage taken from the man’s ribs. Continue..

Surgeons say that the nose has developed well and that the transplant surgery will be carried out soon.

“I have murdered poverty and God has finally murdered it for me” —Saka Reveals ( i don port)

Born and raised in Adegbola village in Iseyin Local Government Area of Oyo state, Hafiz Oyetoro popularly known as Saka has been able to walk himself into fame and fortune. Saka became famous for his roles in sitcom, House A-part and promotional video for Etisalat but became a household after he ‘ported’ to MTN. A lecturer, actor, father and husband, Saka says his audience is yet to see his best. He spoke to Movie Moments on his life, wife and career.

Congratulations on the celebration of your 50th birthday, how do you feel now?

I feel honored and at the same I am grateful to Almighty Allah for preserving me from  to my very tender age till now; most importantly, I want to appreciate my parents because I believe without them, I am nobody. I am happy, glad and at the same time fulfilled for all that have been happening in life. I may look petite in size but I am old o!

Did you ever believe you will be this famous in life?

Everybody aspires to be famous and well known positively and for me I wouldn’t say I have known that I will be this famous but rather by nature and with the kind of characters I put up while growing up, I knew my stubbornness made me popular in my area and so been famous was nothing new to me.
Fans and people see you as a super star, this is contrary to the way you perceive yourself. Why is this so?
I still have a long way to go. You know I am a lecturer, a simple civil servant who is trying to make it in the entertainment industry. I only practice what I teach as a lecturer in Theatre Arts at Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education. I practice a little bit of it outside in order to enhance my teaching methodology. I still have a long way to go. I am still pursuing a Ph.D programme. I am not as popular as you are portraying me.
But this day, everyone wants you to feature in their productions, especially adverts. So, don’t you think you are qualified to be regarded as a star?

As far as that is concerned, to God be the glory. It is the grace of God. It is not me but the grace of God. There are still other people better than I who have not received that grace and I pray for such people too. As you are talking to me, you are a superstar. Once you are able to do things in your own field very well, you are a superstar, it is just in Nigeria that we give some special emphasis to some people. Once you are able to do what you are doing very well and you are known for it, then you are a superstar. But for me, I am still struggling and striving.

How are you coping with your rising status?

I am an average Nigerian, a simple average lecturer who goes about in my small car and it doesn’t take so much from me, unlike the superstar who will hide and hide. I go where I go now without policemen escorting me. Like I told you, I am still moving up. Maybe when I become the so-called superstar, I will need all those things. But to the glory of God, I am growing; things are working well for me. I am teaching well. I am super in what I teach. I thank God for that.

Do you intend crossing to the university as a lecturer later?

For now, I am satisfied where I am. The essence of getting more knowledge is to be able to add more value to your immediate environment. If Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, where I teach now, gives me the opportunity to go and learn more, when I come back, I think it is my responsibility to first and foremost add more value to the college that has done so much for me. I will like to come back and add more value to the community that has brought me up.

How has life been like after porting to MTN Nigeria?

I will not want to say much about that for now; but all I can say is that everything is fine and cool over there and I’m enjoying every bit of it. I don’t want to say much about it but when the time is actually ripe for it I will definitely let the whole world know.

Did you see the MTN endorsement deal coming real quick as it came?

Journalist and their antics to squeeze words from you; well all I want to say is that when you are good people appreciate you the more and as such my endorsement deal with MTN I want to say is God’s way of making me happy and feel appreciated by people whom you don’t know having been watching you for so long.
In a recent chat you talked so much about how poverty dealt with you, how is life now?
Alhamdulillah, level don they change. Let me put it like that. I believe that in the nearest future, level will finally change. But for now, level don dey change. I have murdered poverty and God in his infinite mercy murdered poverty for me.

What do you mean by level don dey change?

It takes so long to be satisfied with what you want in life. Even the Dangotes of this world are still looking for more level to change. Unlike before, I was not married, I did not have children, I really struggled as a student but today, I am married, I have a job as a lecturer, I have about three degrees and I am currently pursuing a Ph.D programme. That means that level don dey change. I have murdered poverty and God has finally murdered it for me. I am no longer poor, but very comfortable.

Talking about that stage name “Saka” how did you come about it?

I could remember vividly in 2003 when my blossom friend Gbenga Windapo and I created a TV series titled House A-part which was produced by Greg and Debbie Odutayo. I played the role Saka in the TV series and ever since then the name stuck like a second skin on me.

How do you handle funny characters from the real individual?

It is only when one does not realize his or her role in the society that they begin to mingle their roles. For me, I know the role I am playing on TV and the role I am playing as a person. The role I play makes people laugh. As a lecturer, when I am in class, my students see me as such. It depends on how one manages his person and the role he plays. As a professional theatre person, I was trained under the tutorship of lecturers that are capable of changing people from one role to another. One of them is Chuck Mike who trained me as an actor and as a Theatre Director. I know the role I am playing at every point in time. When I go for serious business, you see a serious Hafiz, when I go for comedy roles on TV, you see a comic character, when I come home, and you see a father and a loving husband of his wife

How many children do you have?

I have three children. I got married late, when I was almost forty years. My children are still very young. I thank God for their lives. They are doing well, they are healthy and they are performing well in school
