Nigerian actor Jim Iyke bounces back after YouTube removes his movie “Light in the Dark,” now re-uploaded and receiving massive support

 

Nigerian actor Jim Iyke is making headlines once again after a major setback with his latest movie, *Light in the Dark*. The film, which initially garnered significant attention with over 600,000 views in just a few days, faced a major setback when it was removed from his official YouTube channel, JIMIYKE TV, due to a scene deemed inappropriate by the platform.

In a candid video posted on social media, Jim Iyke shared his frustration with the situation but showed unwavering determination. He expressed his commitment to the project and his loyal fanbase, explaining the amount of hard work and passion his team invested in the production.

“This has been challenging, to say the least,” Iyke said in the video, visibly undeterred by the removal. “The time, effort, and passion my team put into these projects is inestimable. But I’m not deterred. My energy has always stemmed from positivity and a winner’s mentality.”

The setback, while disappointing, did not break his resolve. Within hours, Iyke took action to rectify the situation by re-uploading a revised version of *Light in the Dark*.

In an effort to rally his supporters, he appealed directly to his fans to continue their support by watching, sharing, and spreading the word about the film.

“I need as many people as possible to watch, share, and spread the word,” Iyke urged. “If you supported the first one, or if you missed it, this is your chance to help keep the project alive. We’ve been down this road before. Your support and goodwill win the day eventually.”

The response from fans has been overwhelmingly positive. Many have praised Iyke’s resilience and positive attitude, with some fans sharing their admiration in the comments section of the video.

One fan expressed, “Legendary, but I just finished watching the movie a few weeks ago!” Another offered a helpful suggestion: “What you do next time is upload your content and send it for proper review before distribution. It’s all good!”

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.
