Femi Otedola and Wife, Nana, Pay Surprise Visit To Daughter On Movie Set (PHOTOS)
+ 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.

Tjay’s win grants him immunity from this week’s eviction, a major advantage as the competition intensifies.
The position of HoH is awarded every week through either a game or an election, and the winner is given the responsibility of leading the house for the week.
This season of Big Brother Naija started with housemates competing in pairs, but Biggie unpaired them after the fifth week, allowing each housemate to battle individually for the ultimate grand prize.
Tjay’s victory marks a key moment in the competition as he navigates the responsibilities and privileges of HoH in a fiercely competitive environment.
Big Brother nomination drama unfolded after a surprise twist in the eviction process. Housemates were forced to publicly announce their votes, leading to intense tension and nine housemates being put up for eviction.
Drama erupted in the ‘No Loose Guard’ house on Monday after Big Brother introduced an unexpected twist to the nomination process.
The week’s Head of House (HOH), Tjay, was first announced, followed by Biggie giving the housemates paper and pens. The housemates were initially instructed to secretly write down the names of two fellow contestants for eviction.
However, Big Brother then surprised the house by changing the rules, requesting each housemate to stand up and announce the two names they had written for eviction to everyone in the room.
This twist added a new level of tension and transparency to the game.
Here’s how the housemates voted:
– Kassia: Topher and Sooj
– Anita: Ozee and Shaun
– Shaun: Chizoba and Kellyrae
– Ozee: Ben and Kassia
– Victoria: Sooj and Chizoba
– Wanni: Kellyrae and Sooj
– Onyeka: Kellyrae and Victoria
– Sooj: Kassia and Kellyrae
– Handi: Sooj and Kellyrae
– Kellyrae: Onyeka and Shaun
– Chizoba: Victoria and Kellyrae
– Topher: Victoria
– Nelly: Victoria and Ozee
– Ben: Victoria and Kassia
– Ocee: Ben and Nelly
– Tjay: Kassia and Sooj
After all nominations were tallied, Kellyrae, Victoria, Sooj, Kassia, Chizoba, Shaun, Topher, Ben, and Ozee found themselves on the list for possible eviction.
This dramatic shift has raised the stakes in the house, leaving the nominated housemates on edge as they await their fate.

Afrobeats star Ayra Starr reveals in a Dazed Magazine interview that despite her “lover girl” image, she has never been in a fully committed relationship.
Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr, born Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe, has revealed that she has never fallen in love.
In a candid interview with Dazed Magazine, the 21-year-old Grammy-nominated artist discussed her love life and admitted she has never been in a fully committed relationship.
Despite her image as a “lover girl,” Starr attributes her single status to her intense focus on music and other pursuits since she was 15.
Starr shared, “I want to fall in love. I wrote ‘Lagos Love Story’ about what love would look like if I was. I am a lover girl deep in my heart, I’m just very strong headed about it. I actually have never been in love.”
She mentioned that while she has been in certain situations, she has not had the time to fully explore love due to her busy career.
Starr’s new album, *The Year I Turned 21*, and her hit track “Bloody Samaritan” have cemented her status as a rising star in Afrobeats.
In the interview, she also hinted at enjoying her current single life and keeping an open mind about future possibilities.
