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 man who rules Nollywood- Kunle Afolayan

Kunle Afolayan was born on the 30th of September, 1974 in the Ebutte Metta area of Lagos State. He is the son of the famous theater and film director/producer, Ade Love.

As a younger man, Afolayan had accompanied his father to film shoots and theater productions. He did some acting in his early days before venturing full time into the industry in 2005.

Prior to then, Afolayan worked as a banker, but the lure of the Big Screen soon got the better of him. To set himself apart as a distinguished filmmaker, he enrolled in the prestigious New York Film Academy where he studied filmmaking.

Once armed with the necessary knowledge and skills he needed, Afolayan returned to Lagos to carve a niche for himself. Not long after, he stood towering above his colleagues in the industry. His breakthrough movie, The Figurine was an outstanding success, turning him into an overnight celebrity. 

Kunle Afolayan went on to make more better-than-most Nollywood films which are the delights of movie buffs like myself. His most recent output, The CEO, is already making waves. It was recently premiered aboard AirFrance from Lagos to Paris. 

Kunle Afolayan's October 1 movie was also a magnificent work from the director cum producer and actor. He has won several awards and his movies are top earners at the box office. Kunle Afolayan is indeed the man that rules Nollywood. His ability to attract the best has helped him to set himself apart significantly. 

Kunle Afolayan has that capacity to collect talents, people like cinematographer Pat Nebo, Screenwriters like Kemi Adesoye, Tunde Babalola and so on.  We fans have only one wish for him, please make more fantastic movies, FASTER!!!
