You have been scarce lately in movies
I am not scarce, the truth of the matter is I am always very busy, I can’t say I am resting, I have been busy, you can say I have been selective in movies I take now and the roles I take. You get to a level that you cannot do everything that comes your way; you have to select the one you think is good because you owe lot of allegiance to your fans and to yourself you have to keep it moving. If you are passionate about what you do and I believe right now I should do movies that should set me on a better bright light.
Are working on anything presently now?
I just finished shooting an international movie
Is it produced by you?
Not yet, still watching the terrain, would say I am a near getting there, I would like to capitalize on people. You have to understand the terrain properly before you can say you want to produce, a lot of my colleagues are producing but I am not ready for that now. I am watching the water, when the water is still, will jump in it.
Can you tell us about the international Movie?
It is a movie I just finished shooting in Canada, it is shot with foreign Canadian directors and some Barbados, It is a series in Canada and in the states too ,I know some people will not be familiar with. In Hollywood, people buy movies because of its content unlike the way people buy movies here; it is the one with huge contents.

We hail the people from Surulere because even I, as an artiste, when I started out in music with Trybe Records, we were based in Surulere. Surulere basically means ‘Patience is rewarding’ and it’s just a song that describes the journey of Dr Sid; Where I’ve been, where I’m at right now, where I’m going to, that’s the idea. We’re trying to create a song that could capture that experience and we also wanted to make a song that people can relate to.

Kudos , knocks greets September 22 resumption.

The Nigeria Medical Association on Monday faulted the federal government directives to resume school on September 22 against the October 12 date announced earlier. Speaking through its National secretary-General, Dr Olawunmi Alayaki, he said that all schools ought to remain shut till all those under surveillance for Ebola virus disease in the country have been certified free. “We are not happy with this decision on the resumption of schools. Schools should be shut till the last suspected case or patient is certified of the virus”He said. He suggested that the resumption date of schools could be shifted till December or early part of next year because if Ebola should spread to any school, it would assume another dimension. He added that parents should have no reason to be in hurry because children cannot survive the isolation like adults. Emphasizing on the point, the chairman of the Lagos state chapter of the association, Dr Tope Ojo said most public schools lack basic hygienic facilities and this would expose the students to easy spread of the virus. “It would not have cost the Federal Government anything to have waited till those under surveillance have completed the 21 days in all the states where they are being monitored. The government knows that it takes a longer time for children to get used to the idea of hygiene and sanitation. They are even more vulnerable because they would play with each other whether they are sick or not. How many children know that they should use hand sanitizers or avoid contact with anybody that has fever? Waiting till October when at least the situations in Rivers and Lagos states would have been conclusively managed is another safety measure the government should have taken. These kids are not studying to get a degree, so we are sure it would not have affected schools’ curricula.” he said. Meanwhile, one of the parents feels; it will be in the same vein at the end of the day. “The kids would resume at the end of the day, they should resume but adequate measures should be provided to avoid further spread of the virus”. Though they should have said “until further notice” from inception rather than the confusion they are about to cause. Mr Yusuf Olawale said.

Damola Olatunji’s 1-Year Old Marriage In Trouble

The media was agog weeks back about the crisis in Nollywood actor, Damola Olatunji’s 1-year old marriage. Recently, his beautiful wife revealed how another Nollywood actress named Bukola Awoyemi has allegedly been having an affair with her husband.
The Uk based wife of Damola accused Bukola popularly known as Arugba of wanting to tear apart her marriage, she further divulged how her husband has been living with her in her Magodo home, instead of their matrimonial home. 
 According to the reports…
I am sad, frustrated and I don’t know where to start from, what did I do to deserve this. I gave my all or is it a sin to love someone who claims to love you. Damola and I didn’t have any issue neither did we have any major quarrel just the normal ups and downs that married couples have but I started feeling uneasy few weeks to our Wedding Anniversary when he rarely pick my calls nor reply my sms promptly and will only call me back in the middle of the night. Gist started filtering into my ears that Damola was seeing Bukky but I ignored. But when my husband won’t change I asked him and he denied that the only thing between them is work. Until Damola’s brother’s girlfriend called me to tell me that Damola actually brought Bukky to Osogbo and they went to Damola’s uncle home where she made dinner for him before they went into the room to make love and it started to make sense to me because like thrice in the middle of the night I had seen Bukky’s text messages to Damola saying I miss you, I love you and can’t wait to see you. I allowed it to slide because guys in the industry are in the habit of calling themselves darlings and all.

But when I knew I was in serious trouble was when I came home for our Anniversary and Damola didn’t pick me at the Airport. On getting home, I noticed that Damola had packed all our wedding pictures and all my properties into the guest room. While waiting for him I took a look at his ipad and behold I read his messages with Bukky talking about the romantic getaways, the fact that he does not want me again and he professing love to Bukky.

I was at home for 30days and Damola only slept at home once. Later I heard he was with Bukky in Magodo, then I went to see his parents but got the shock of my life, as they told me pointblank that they would only want what their son wants. All my parents efforts to make peace, has been turned down by his parents. I have not spoken to Damola for over 70days as he neither picks my call nor reply my sms.
Damola whose marriage was consummated last year has been linked to another older actress in the past.
