“As a Cameroonian, the way I respect Wizkid unmatched legacy in the Nigerian music industry, is the way I respect Jovi legacy in the Cameroonian music industry.

“They both influenced a whole generation of artistes in their respective countries. No matter what fans think, it’s hard for an artist of Wizkid’s generation to have his level of influence and impact in the Nigerian music industry. You can argue this, but that’s facts only!

“It’s the same for Jovi. I watched Jovi turn to a movement in Cameroon before I relocated to the US. Every young rapper wanted to be another Jovi. His Mboko movement arguably remains the strongest entertainment movement in Cameroon.

“That’s the kind of legacy I want for myself. You can’t buy it with money. It has to be about your impact or influence over time.

“I’m gradually building it, and I believe I’ll get there with time. I’ll drop my YouTube & IG pages link in the comments. I appeal for your support🙏🏿” — Lyga Weezy Ekosse Binaise

“ With the coming of YouTube , Nollywood movies have become a joke . Movies are done in a haste , lead actors now are handsome or beautiful girls “ Ugezu Ugezu

“ YouTube remains the biggest Movie market , I was happy to see producers use it not until they started abusing it . Lead actors want to use a day and act a full movie so they can do the next one , so long as you are handsome and beautiful, you can become the lead actor . Movies are done in a haste , same storyline etc . We are gradually losing our worth . “ Ugezu

Moral lesson : Truth be told eveyeone is just looking for a handsome actor or beautiful actress to play a lead role . Trying to drop movies every week and everything is done in a haste . You immediately know the end of a movie when you start watching . It’s crazy .

This particular drone footage was the reason why Omoni Oboli's movie was taken down!

According to information, Chinonso Obiọma (Skyberry studios) who owns the footage had reached out to Omoni Oboli's team for a private conversation and/or settlement but was ignored!

Then he initiated the copyright complaint to YouTube, and YouTube doesn't joke with copyright infringements.

Good morning!

Again! Nigerians react as YouTube removes Omoni Oboli's 'love In every word' over copyright claim.

On my research on why Living In Bondage was a success, I stumbled upon an episode of Checkmate on YouTube and it's absolute genius. I'm still trying to pick my jaw up from the floor. It was the fastest 25 minutes of my life as I saw myself consuming episode after episode. The actors delivered their role so easily that you would wonder why we are still here if we were this amazing some 30 years ago.

I saw a different Bob Manuel Udokwu - young, speaks clear and smooth English and delivered his line smoothly. I always called her Ego Boyo, but learnt she was Ego Nnamani. Excellent actress. And not until I watched the series, I discovered how good an actor Francis Agu was. I couldn’t stop screaming. RMD is whoever he said he is and more. Believe me, Checkmate is a national treasure.

However, the character that blowed my mind away was Tonye - the wife of Benny Haatrope. That girl deserved an Oscar. I couldn’t take my eyes off her. Her name didn’t ring a bell. I had to search the internet to see that her name is Edyth-Jane Azu. My research revealed that she continued acting, and got married to a fellow actor, Emma Ayalogu. An account said that she got born again, and the screen became the opportunity cost. It is a very interesting story.

Finally, I realized that with Bob Manuel, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Francis Agu, Obiageli Molugbe, and Ruth Osu who were casts in Checkmate, their appearance in Living In Bondage didn’t just gave depth to the great script, but also helped generate publicity for the movie.

I don’t know what you will do today, but whenever you are free, just watch an episode of Checkmate on Youtube.

Amaka Igwe did an amazing job in that series. She set the bar as high as it should be - and that is very high.

I will share what I discovered about the success of Living In Bondage tomorrow. But first, I would love you to watch Checkmate, and tell me which of the actors stood out to you the most.
