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...

Netflix Original: Blood Sisters review

Courtesy: IMDb


I finished Blood Sisters... I enjoyed the first two episodes.. The last two was a bit of a yawn (for me). I also felt somewhat unsatisfied at the end. There was one or two continuity issue, and I thought Blade was a tad too intense (why was he passionate? He should be cold and unattached) for a professional hitman, but all in all, it was pretty good, the production value was really up there. I feel like the cinematography could have been better though.


I enjoyed the acting - loved Ramsey's bodyguard/bounty hunter vibes, Gabriel Afolayan is a really good actor, Genovevah and Kate Henshaw, Kehinde Bankole; Wale Ojo and Segun Arinze played off each other well. Great casting!


I really liked how "Kola" died. I liked how that moment was captured, that split-second, ah, confusion on what just happened before he fell off the bed, deader than dead.


I also liked that they felt comfortable enough to show some not-so-nude-I-don't-understand-the-uproar scenes. Filmmakers should be allowed to tell their stories as raw and organic as possible.


Bottomline, Blood Sister is worth the hype, the production, casting, acting and direction were great. Nollywood is getting there!


PS. The fight scenes were good, and I especially loved the stunt with the car and the journalist.

Usain Bolt was born Usain Saint Leo Bolt on the 21st of August, 1986 in Sherwood Content, Trelawny, Jamaica. Bolt was born to compete in the sports. As a child, he spent his time playing crickets and soccer in the streets. "When I was young, I didn't really think about anything other than sports". Bolt began to show is potential as a would-be sprinter from his schooling days, starting with Waldensia Primary and by the age of 12, he was the school's fastest runner over the 100metres distance.
