TRAILER: Funke Akindele, Omoni Oboli tight hands in ‘Moms At War’

Funke Akindele and Omoni Oboli will be going head to head in a battle of moms.

‘Moms At War’ tells the story of Olaide and Ebubechukwu, two mothers who would do anything for their children.

Akindele plays Olaide, a self-made woman who built herself up from nothing to raise her son and give him the life she did not have.

With their children competing for a place in a prestigious scholars program, everything starts to derail as the mothers go head to head to ensure that their own child wins.

From Inkblot, Dioni Visions and Film One, the dramedy also stars Yul Edochie and  Eucharia Anunobi.

Directed by Omoni Oboli and written by Naz Onuzo, ‘Moms At War’ premiers in cinemas across Nigeria on August 17.

Kate Henshaw gushes over AMAA nod, hails Kunle Afolayan’s impact

 

Kate Henshaw has praised Kunle Afolayan for “pushing” her during the filming of ‘Roti’, a movie which earned her an Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) nomination.

Henshaw is nominated for best actress in a leading role.

The actress said she resented the filmmaker for being tough on her, but noted that his firmness helped her deliver well on the role.

In an Instagram post, she wrote: “When @kunleafo approached me about the story “ROTI”, he said he wrote it with me in mind, I didn’t believe him… I thought he wanted a discount on my fees.

“Fast forward to last week Friday @amaawards_ nomination night and I found out I was a nominee. Totally unexpected.

“Kunle pushed me and there were times I resented him!! E no send me…He wanted what he wanted.

“@yinka.edward, one of the most gentle and focused cinematographers I know did an awesome job. Uncle Pat Nebo did his usual magic with the set design. Kunle’s son Darisimire was a true actor…. Jamiu, Segun and the rest of the crew were truly amazing.”


Henshaw is nominated alongside Dakore Egbuson, Joselyn Dumas, Reine Swart, Tunde Aladese, among others.

The 2018 AMAA will take place in Kigali, Rwanda, on September 22.

Toke Makinwa, Nigerian on-air personality, has posed nude in a campaign for her new beauty brand called ‘Glow by TM’.

But for now, it is the image she shared on her Instagram page that is eliciting furore on Instagram.

In the picture, Makinwa sits fully nude with arms and legs crossed to cover her private parts.

“When you glow there is nothing to hide,” the ‘On Becoming’ author said in the caption for the post.

A post shared by Toke Makinwa (@tokemakinwa) on Aug 9, 2018 at 6:25am PDT

The bold move by Makinwa has caused a stir on social media; some praising her beauty and courage while others condemned her nudity.

One commenter criticised her move, saying, “there is nothing to hide anymore. Unleash the other parts while another said “remove your hand from your chest since there’s nothing to hide”.

But it was not all condemnation, as another commenter said: “Women should be allowed to express themselves whichever way the chose to, this is not been naked in my opinion.”

In the same vein, another said: “I don’t see anything wrong with this. Yes, she is a Christian, a grown up woman, and yes we young ladies look up to her. She is promoting her brand. And who are y’all that are judging.”

Makinwa was criticised by some for “going against African norms” while some fans said her move was anti-Christian.

Reacting to the condemnation, the television personality said: “You will find that people will always have opinions about your decisions.

“Don’t take it personally, it’s simply because they are not courageous enough to take action in their own lives.”

According to Makinwa, ‘Glow by TM’ will be launching on August 8.

In April, the television host shared her six-year battle with fibroids.
