+ Temi Otedola’s Lifestyle On Kunle Afolayan’s Movie Location In Ile-Ife

Temiloluwa Oluwadamilola, the last daughter of billionaire business magnate and notable philanthropist, Femi Otedola is not a name that is unknown to many Nigerians at home and abroad. Temi, as she is fondly called, is known to have her fingers in different pies with fashion being the most prominent one with @jtofashion marking her online presence.

Recently, Temi delved into the motion picture scene with her debut coming up on a high note with veteran Nollywood director, Kunle Afolayan’s ‘Citation’. The movie boasts of an ensemble cast of notable actors which include; Joke Silva, Ini Edo, Yomi Fash-Lanso, Gabriel Afolayan, Sadiq Daba, Haitian-French actor Jimmy Jean-Louis among many others.

The movie began shooting on January 15, 2020, at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state location, which will be the first of multiple locations. The movie got a boost with a surprise visit from Temi’s parents – Femi and Nana Otedola. Yesterday, Sunday, January 26, the couple took time out of their tight schedules to visit their daughter in Ile-Ife. They spent quality time with her and encouraged her to put in all her best in her debut outing The Otedolas also visited Afolayan and members of his production crew, notably, Tunde Kelani, the veteran cinematographer, Seun Soyinka, the Managing Director of Quotientedge and executive producer of Afolayan’s movies inside their caravan.

The Otedolas were thrilled to have experienced how the magic of movie making is done. They also shared very insightful and interesting moment with Kelani during their visit.

Meanwhile, sources disclosed to The ELITES that Temi is really stealing the show with her lavish princess lifestyle on the movie set. She is reported to have been assigned two patrol trucks along with some policemen for security. She is also assigned two personal cooks and one butler. Along with these, Temi is also reported to bathe with water in sachets. She also came to Ile-Ife with several cartons of bottled water, which are being used for drinking purpose. However, being a well-brought up and humble lady, Temi is said to have won the hearts of everyone on the movie set. She has wormed her way into Joke Silva’s heart and the veteran screen icon in turn, smothers her with motherly love. Also, sources disclosed that Temi always joins the entire crew in feasting from the food, cooked and served by Oyo Amala, a popular catering outfit, based in Lagos.

Boasting an ensemble of A-list actors of diverse nationalities, as is the character of the film company, one can also underscore Citation as another launching pad for new actors and resurgence for underrated talents by Afolayan’s Golden Effects Pictures.

Written by the company’s long-standing screen writer, Tunde Babalola, ‘Citation’ explores a subject of social decadence in the educational sector and it focuses on sexual harassment on university campuses. It tells the story of Moremi Oluwa (Temi Otedola), a fun-loving 21-year-old student on campus in Nigeria. Incensed at being ill-treated by a trendy university don, Lucien N’Dyare, she drags him before the University Senate.

The ensuing intrigues define Moremi’s world against that of the respected academic, in a male-dominated bastion.

The shooting of ‘Citation’ is expected to end in the middle of February and it will hit the cinemas later in the year.

Afolayan, through his outfit, Golden Effects Pictures, a limited liability company incorporated in July 2005 as a film production company, has produced successful and widely acclaimed blockbuster feature films namely: Irapada (Redemption) Figurine (Araromire) Phone Swap, October 1, Roti, Omugwo, The Tribunal, Hanatu, The CEO, and Mokalik.

Lizzy Anjorin Questions Court Order Over Priscilla Ojo’s Son

Published

on

Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has questioned the authenticity of an interim order issued by the Lagos State High Court on 2 September 2026, restraining her from publishing photographs of Priscilla Ojo’s one-year-old son, Rakeem Mkambala, and from posting editorials concerning the family on specified social media platforms.

Anjorin raised the issue during an Instagram Live session on Friday, 4 September, after Priscilla shared a copy of the court order online.

The actress argued that publicising court documents before formally serving the respondent undermines the case.

“Your case na dead on arrival. If you post court letter on any platform before serving person wey you wan go serve, that court case na fake court case,” Anjorin said during the live session.

Her comments came shortly after the High Court of Lagos State granted an ex parte application brought by Priscilla, her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Mussa Mkambala, and their son, Rakeem.

Justice Yetunde Adesanya issued the interim order in Suit No. LD/ADR/6646/2026.

The order restrains Anjorin, as well as people acting under her authority, from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of Rakeem on specified social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok.

The court also directed Anjorin to cease publishing or broadcasting editorials concerning the applicants on the platforms covered by the order.

An ex parte order is made at an interim stage without the respondent being heard. The order is therefore not a final determination of the dispute and remains subject to further proceedings.

Priscilla shared the certified copy of the order on her Instagram Story on Friday, bringing the legal development into public view.

Anjorin’s reaction centres on the timing and manner in which the court documents were publicised. Her assertion that such publication makes a case “fake” is her own claim and is not a finding contained in the court order.

The development marks another chapter in the prolonged public dispute between Anjorin and Priscilla’s family, particularly Priscilla’s mother, actress Iyabo Ojo.

The disagreement has played out largely on social media and has previously resulted in legal action, including a ₦1 billion defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Anjorin.

In recent weeks, the dispute has also drawn Priscilla and her young son into the controversy, following public comments by Anjorin concerning the family.

BBNaija Kess Says Big Brother Makes Life Harder

Published

on

Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.

“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.

The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.

Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.

His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.

Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.

However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
