Timini Egbuson Declares Himself Africa’s Premier Actor

Published

on

In a bold declaration, Nollywood luminary, Timini Egbuson has asserted himself as the preeminent actor on the African continent.

With an illustrious career spanning 15 years, Egbuson claims to have not only sustained his craft but also paved the way for a new generation of talents.

As a guest on the Menisms Podcast, the seasoned thespian highlighted his unwavering commitment to acting.

He said, “I have been acting for 15 years consistently. I’ve never had a time off or fall off for 15 years consistently.”

Egbuson’s confidence in his status stems from his belief that he has revolutionized the landscape for young actors.

“I believe that I genuinely opened up the way for a lot of new school young actors.

“I also believe that I opened up the leading male young actor category,” he remarked.

Reflecting on the evolution of Nollywood, Egbuson emphasised the dearth of opportunities for young male actors when he first entered the industry.

“When I joined Nollywood, there were no lead roles for young men,” he revealed.

“You either had to be an old man or a lady. All the young men that were acting were playing minor roles. Nobody was actively writing lead roles for young men.”

With his extensive body of work and influence, Egbuson unapologetically asserts his claim to the title of Africa’s biggest actor. “If you put everything that I’ve accomplished together, I believe that I am the biggest actor in Africa,” he asserted, cementing his place in the annals of African cinema.

‘No Dey Jealous’ – Peller, Jarvis Hit Back at Wedding Critics

Published

on

Popular Nigerian TikTok stars Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, and Amadou Elizabeth Aminata, better known as Jarvis or Jadrolita, have fired back at critics of their recent wedding, urging them to stop being envious and focus on their own lives.

The couple, whose wedding became one of the biggest talking points on Nigerian social media over the weekend, shared a now-viral video of themselves dancing and singing while seemingly addressing those who questioned their decision to marry at a young age.

In the video, the newlyweds sang: “Na we dey love, na them dey cry. Go and make it. No dey jealous. Na we dey buy car. You will run mad. Stop thinking.”

The clip quickly gained traction online, with many social media users interpreting it as a direct response to the criticism that followed their wedding.

Reacting to the video, a social media user identified as Lombardio commented, “This boy did the worst mistake of his life, but he has no idea. Here in America, before you agree to a court wedding with a woman, you need to sign a valid prenuptial agreement.”
However, others defended the couple’s decision.

Another user, Osinachi Wisdom, wrote, “This marriage will favour them; many people expect them to break up later, but believe me, their union will be one of the best. Kudos.”
Similarly, another commenter, Jay, praised the couple for embracing each other’s imperfections.

“They both saw and knew their shortcomings; still, they got married. That’s real love. Marriage isn’t about love alone but the ability to manage the shortcomings. I wish you two everlasting happiness and peace in your union,” Jay said.

Peller and Jarvis’ wedding, held on Saturday, attracted congratulatory messages from fans, celebrities and fellow content creators.

However, it also sparked debate, with some Nigerians arguing that the pair were too young and questioning whether they were emotionally and financially prepared for marriage.

Despite the backlash, many supporters maintained that age should not determine the success of a marriage, insisting that mutual understanding, commitment and compatibility are more important.

Popular Nigerian content creator and self-styled relationship and finance influencer, Emmanuel Obruste, popularly known as GehGeh, has responded to criticism after videos of him attending what appeared to be a traditional wedding ceremony sparked widespread reactions online.

In the clips, he was seen dressed in a matching burgundy traditional outfit with a lady, while an invitation card identified the couple as Mary and Prosper, leading many social media users to speculate that the influencer had secretly tied the knot.

The videos quickly went viral, with several Nigerians accusing GehGeh of hypocrisy, claiming his appearance at the ceremony contradicted the relationship advice he is known for giving on social media.

Addressing the backlash, GehGeh dismissed the claims, insisting that he has never advised anyone against marriage. He also clarified that he was only representing his brother, who lives abroad.

“So I no fit represent my brother wey dey abroad?” he wrote in one of his posts.
Responding directly to critics, GehGeh challenged anyone to produce evidence that he had ever discouraged marriage.

“I never for once told y’all not to get married. Did I? If yes, show me a video of me telling you not to marry.”

He further argued that many Nigerians misunderstand how social media works, saying: “Nigerians really don’t understand how social media works. If you know how to use it properly, you will never lack.”

Despite his clarification, the incident has continued to generate mixed reactions across social media, with some users accepting his explanation while others remain sceptical.
