Opeyemi Aiyeola Opens Lagos Office Says, “I Gave Up My Career For My Kids”

For Nollywood Yoruba actress, Opeyemi Aiyeola, it’s time to have a stronghold in the movie industry. This must have dictated the move to float the Opeyemi Aiyeola Films Limited in Lagos. 

The actress, who is based abroad and living with her family, is currently in Nigeria and has recently, opened her Lagos office/ rehearsal centre to the public. The office which is situated in Oke Afa, Isolo, Lagos is tastefully furnished and equipped for production of movies. On why she has been off production for sometimes, the bubbly actress declared during her second son’s birthday:

“People ask me all the time,' Ope why did u sacrifice ur career for family?, why did u leave at a time u were hotter than hot?, U could be up there by now, U could be getting most hot deals n endorsements, ur career would have blown supa huge!!!!. I look at them and always think n say to myself, 'ignorance' and 'petty'. Now I am glad n proud to answer those questions. This is one of the reasons why. Abandoning my career to have lovely, handsome, glorious, blessed, intelligent, world changer boys is why. If given the grace and opportunity I will do same over and over again. My pride, my prince, my joy, my future, my wealth, my endorsement, my primary career, words can't express how honoured and grateful to God I am for the grace to be Ur caretaker….” (sic)

Actress Victoria Inyama Reveals, “My Husband Didn’t Ask Me To Leave Nollywood”

She was one of the raves of the 90s in movies but suddenly, she fizzled out. Now married and based in the United Kingdom, Victoria Inyama explains life as a mother, wife and why she left acting

You have been married for 11years, what has changed about you?

Just like every other thing in life, marriage is a learning process and mine is not an exception. I am learning as each day unfolds. Nothing has changed really.

How have you been able to sustain your marriage for this long in an industry where most actresses cannot keep their homes?

Can I pass that question? I don’t want to answer so I don’t want to go there.

You left Nollywood at the peak of your career, did you husband ask you to pull out of the industry or was it a personal choice?

I made my decision to leave the industry based on circumstances if I have to put it that way.

Have you had challenges as an actress?

I am no longer in this environment because I don’t live in Nigeria anymore; I live abroad and I am doing something totally different. For many years, it was all about family ties; having children, raising them and learning on the job. Being that I am in another environment and I don’t have maids, I have taken a hands-on role as a mother. However, I am back to acting now. I have just completed work on a production with Tony Monjaro, called Nollywood Knocking.

How did you meet your husband?

We met in London in 2003, I was in town for a show and that was how our paths crossed.

What has changed in the industry since you left Nigeria?

A lot has changed because there is more money in the industry now compared to when we were there, so I want to believe that artistes are better paid. There may be hiccups here and there but I think they are better paid.

Is it true that you advised women whose husbands beat them to tie up their men when they are asleep and retaliate?

I never said that. It was the handiwork of some overzealous blogger that I don’t even know. I put up something totally different on my Instagram page and it was just about a discussion that I had with someone. The person apparently had a rough time in her relationship and it wasn’t favourable at all, so she was now saying maybe if she had revenged during all the beatings, maybe things would have been okay. She added that her pastor said that if she sought a divorce, she is not allowed to marry any other person. Unfortunately, that blogger quoted me out of context. The post is still there on my Instagram page so anybody can go and verify. I never said that.

A number of people who read the post said it was a subtle way of telling your story…

Really? I am just hearing this for the first time, so I don’t even know what to say. I would want to pass on that as well because I don’t know what to say.

How God Saved Me from ADC Plane Crash—Survivor Speaks 10 Years After Incident

Mr&Mrs Onuka

Peter Onuka was on his way to Sokoto and he journeyed by air from Lagos. Then, the airline, ADC, was his choice and there was a stop-over at Abuja.

But not everyone made the trip to Sokoto. At least 96 died in the crash that occurred including the late Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Maccido and son. Not a good memory for families of those who died, but Onuka gave thanks to God for making his survival.

HE shared this on FACEBOOK today October 30:
"Exactly10 years today, I was involved in a plane crash. The plane, a Boeing 737 operated by ADC Airline, was on a passenger flight from Lagos to Sokoto, via Abuja. After a short stop at Nnamdi Azikiwe airport, Abuja, the plane took off again, heading to Sokoto with 100 passengers and 5 crew members. But some seconds or a minute after take-off, the plane began to lose altitude, crashed and burst into flames. The pictures below show the remains of the plane. At least 96 people died in the crash, my heart goes to these people and their families however, out of this wreckage God brought me out alive without serious injuries. How God saved me in this crash I can't explain but I am grateful. Today, I raise an altar of praise to God. Please do me a favour if you are reading this, as you take a few seconds to lift a voice of praise and thanksgiving to God on my behalf. Thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ."

There are different books on motherhood so I don't think there's a manual because every child is different. I am actually doing everything in my power to protect my son and also secure his future. I don't really have a specific answer to what I do career-wise but all I do have to be in line with protecting my son.”
