Never forget: Your decisions today are creating the life you will live tomorrow. Remember this: Your destiny does not ultimately depend on your environment or on other people. Yes, people and circumstances may influence your life, but they are not the final determining factors. The ultimate factor that shapes your life is your decisions. Your decisions…
In an era where Nollywood is increasingly mining its archives for beloved classics, reviving an iconic title is no longer enough. Audiences may be drawn into cinemas by nostalgia, but they remain invested only when the storytelling justifies the return. Franchises succeed not because viewers remember the past, but because they offer something meaningful in the present. This is the challenge confronting The Return of Omotara Johnson, the long-awaited sequel to the Yoruba home-video phenomenon that immortalised Bukky Wright’s unforgettable anti-heroine, Omotara “OJ” Johnson. Directed by Adeoluwa Owu and released in cinemas on 10 July 2026, the film reunites audiences…

But I generally find music made with generative AI to be offensively boring, especially the outputs of Suno.

New NBA President, Mrs Badejo-Okusanya. Howsoever it ends, the association must confront with bold transparency the duty to continuously improve the administration of its leadership processes. It must also understand that failure to do so will endanger its commitment to promoting the rule of law. This is not an option as the country confronts a bumpy election year in 2027. The history of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has travelled a path that parallels the political evolution of the country. It began in 1900, the same year in which the government of Queen Victoria assumed formal authority over the country…
