The National Orientation Agency faces backlash for promoting Omoni Oboli’s film Love in Every Word, sparking debate over misuse of its platform

The agency’s post on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday sparked widespread outrage, with many Nigerians accusing the NOA of misusing its official platform to promote a commercial film rather than focusing on its core civic education mandate.

In the post, the agency described the sequel, Love in Every Word: The Movie, as “much-anticipated” and praised its record-breaking performance.

“The much-anticipated sequel to Love in Every Word, titled Love in Every Word: The Movie, has taken audiences by storm… achieving an impressive six million views on YouTube within its first 24 hours and surpassing 13 million views in one week,” the post read.

The agency also lauded the cast — Patience Ozokwo, Bamike ‘Bam Bam’ Olawunmi, and Uzor Arukwe — and described the film as a showcase of “Nigerian talent at its finest,” highlighting its themes of love, resilience, and innovation.

However, the post triggered a wave of backlash from Nigerians online.

An X user, @real_white, wrote:

“Is this the work of the National Orientation Agency? Omo, this country doesn’t have a manual. Everyone is doing as they like.”

Another user, @DrWealth, said:

“A supposed national enlightenment agency is posting about a movie at a critical time. See what they’re enlightening us about.”

Similarly, @Micah questioned the agency’s priorities, saying:

“Why is Nigeria’s chief orientation agency posting superficial nonsense when the population is divided along tribal and religious lines?”

User @ChiefSubstance described the post as a “clear case of misplaced priorities”, while @Ola called for disciplinary action, saying,

“Our youths are being radicalised, and you are showing a film? Fire them, please, Mr President.”

The sequel, released seven months after the original film, follows Chioma and Odogwu — played by Bamike ‘Bam Bam’ Olawunmi-Adenibuyan and Uzor Arukwe — as they navigate love, cultural differences, and personal growth.

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.
