She said: “It is my calling and so far, it is going on well. I just did a new film and the director got seven nominations.”

Boyo attended the event dressed in a red gown made by leading indigenous designer House Of Deola Sagoe. She shot to prominence following her appearance in popular TV series, especially Checkmates, in the ‘90s. Also, her role in the movie Violated by Amaka Igwe served as a springboard for her to launch fully into Nollywood. 


She is also renowned for producing the classic movie Keeping Faith, as well as To Live Again and 30 Days. Years ago, the mother of three took a break from the movie industry to focus on visuals for corporate clients. But in a 2012 interview with The Nation, she explained that she did not fully leave Nollywood.

 She said: “Well I haven’t really been in Nollywood. I have been doing more corporate works, not feature films. I have done a few short films, documentaries and adverts for clients. That is what I have been focusing on.
            “I try to keep my ears in there to see what is going on. I still get invited to these things because I haven’t left the industry. I still plan on doing films. I did a pilot for a soap opera early last year. I still work with quite a number of people in the industry and all of that.”

Tunde Obe on secrets to lasting marriages

– Tunde Obe speaks on Nigerian couples and secrets to sustaining a lasting relationship

 – The ace musician adds that his wife, Wunmi, has been supportive which has helped his marriage thrive

In the wake of failed celebrity marriages in Nigeria, ace musician and TV presenter Tunde Obe has given his two cents. Speaking recently with Vanguard Obe explained that his wife, Wunmi, has played an important role in their successful marriage.



In the exclusive chat on Tuesday, March 8 the entertainer revealed that much of his marriage’s success was as a result of the sacrifices that had been made by both parties.

He added that men need to marry supportive women in order for them to have lasting unions. Obe stated that his wife’s support and understanding helped him become who he is today. He said of his marriage:

“Marrying this woman helped me to be able to become who I am today, in the sense that we were living beneath our means for over a decade. 

“There are many women who will never ever ever ever agree to live beneath their means.” 

He also said of the sacrifices in the marriage: “I will deny them of holidays, I will deny them of new cars, of clothes, I will deny them of everything because I was trying to build for tomorrow and she has so much faith and belief in me and where I was taking us. 

“Because I’m the captain of my ship, I can’t lie, I am the captain of my own family, I’m the head of my family and I believe that whether we sink or swim is my responsibility. 

“If you are unfortunate not to have a wife who wants to encourage you, you can have a hundred million and say I’m not spending a kobo of this. “We are going to continue to live like paupers because I want to do this and she’ll be like fine, and without that peace of mind, of knowing that I was putting things in place for our future, I couldn’t have ever achieved it.” 

Tunde and Wunmi Obe also known as T.W.O. are a respected couple in the Nigerian entertainment industry. They have recorded five albums as well as influenced a large audience with their sounds across various demographics.

Edward Babatunde Obe got married to his wife Valerie Omowunmi Obe  in 1998 and they have been together ever since. The couple met in 1988, dated for 10 years before finally getting married.

Women are the architects of their own misery - Caroline Danjuma

– Nollywood actress and billionaire wife on Tuesday, March 8, shared a word of advice to women and haters 

– On Friday, February 28, the light-skinned actress premiered her movie, Stalker in Lagos

 – Caroline Danjuma who is in the midst of an alleged divorce case, has three kids with her billionaire husband

Caroline Danjuma 

 

           Popular Nollywood actress turned billionaire wife Caroline Danjuma after making a breathtaking appearance at the just concluded Africa Magic Viewer’s Choice Awards (AMVCA), which took place on Saturday, March 5, took to her Instagram page to share a word of advice for her haters. 

Caroline Danjuma took to her Instagram page on Tuesday, March 8, to post a picture which has the inscription that says: “I have never seen a Queen who loses sleep over victory of another Queen!” She posted that with the caption:

      “Women are the architects of their own misery. There will never be equal rights for women in employment, political positions, social educational and cultural sectors. Women are their own worst enemy, extremely judgmental of one another envious and hardly supportive of one another. The men will always be dominant in all aspects until women learn to stop criticizing and condemning each other they will never get to the top. Most of the successful women in the world are 95% criticized and abused by WOMEN. I wonder the day we will have female governors and a female president, I am certainly sure women will vote her out. Only a woman with a low self-esteem will judge another woman just to make herself feel good.”

        “A Queen supports and praises a Queen. Women will NEVER get what they truly deserve in this world unless they untie in love. Women are always the first to cast a stone. If you all could spend 80% of the time you spend on being little demons in another woman’s life and be more productive and supportive, we will be more respected and valued in our society.”
