Adesuwa Omoruan- a World Class and seasoned Journalist reaches out to even more

Adesuwa Omoruan is dubbed the "queen of selfies" by her siblings. She confesses to taking more selfies than regulars photographs. When Adesuwa Omoruan was a child, she never thought or imagined herself becoming a broadcaster; it was the last thing she ever thought of becoming. As far as she was concerned, the lifestyle of reporters was not up to par with the kind of life she wanted, as the young dreamer that she was at the time. She wanted a life that was rich and full of the best life could offer,  although she wasn't seeking a life that was necessarily flamboyant.  "I just felt that journalist were not paid enough... My idea of a journalist wasn't just working at that time. Sometimes they looked very stressed, very few of them had cars... Growing up, I had this picture of what I wanted to be in life..." She had wanted to become a banker!  As a child, she had taken trips to the bank with her mother on several occasions to cash-in her moth

The Box Office King- Simon Kinberg

Simon Kinberg, the man who has achieved so much success as a Screenwriter and Producer in Hollywood, was born in August 2, 1973 in London, England to Jewish parents.

Kinberg's parent moved to Los Angeles when he was still very little. While in film school, he won the highest screenwriting award (Columbia Film School). His movie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith started as a thesis project for film school. The movie went on to gross over $475 million worldwide, and won MTV Movie Awards and People's Choice Awards.

Kinberg has worked with Hollywood giants like Steven Spielberg and Jerry Bruckheimer. He has collaborated with director, Doug Liman for the movies Jumper and Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

He is the writer of X-men: the Last Stand, xXx: State of the Union which starred Ice Cube and Samuel L. Jackson, Sherlock Holmes which gave Robert Downey Jr a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. He also wrote and produced This Means War, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and The Martian. 

He is massively involved in the X-Men movie franchise both as a writer and producer. He produced X-men: First Class which made over $350 million worldwide and received an 87% positive review on Rotten Tomatoes. He wrote and produced X-Men: Days of Future Past which grossed $740 million dollars and had a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It was also his 7th film to open number one at the box office. He is also writer and producer for X-men: Apocalypse. 

Kinberg also produced Deadpool, which is an X-men spin-off movie starring Ryan Reynolds, and as far as I am concerned, Deadpool was a hit.

Simon Kinberg was involved with South African-born director Neill Bloomkamp for the movies, Elysium and Chappie. He owns the production outfit, Genre Movies. Simon Kinberg is also fully involved in the new Star Wars movies.

In 2005, he received the Movieline magazine award for Screenwriter of the Year. He was also named New Power Screenwriter of the Year by Premiere magazine. Simon Kinberg's films have grossed over a billion dollars worldwide. He is a very successful screenwriter and producer- he is perhaps the king of the box office!
