Omoni Oboli used to trade her scripts for film roles | fab.ng

Nollywood filmmaker Omoni Oboli disclosed that she exchanged her scripts for acting roles early in her career, which motivated her to pursue directing.

In an interview with Radionow 95.3 FM, Oboli recounted the challenges she faced at the start of her filmmaking journey, including giving away her screenplays for free and trying to direct her own films.

“I was trading my scripts, I’d say you know what, just take it, don’t pay me. Just give me a role in the film. So, I started to do that. But then I’ll watch the film and I realised, Okay it’s not quite what I had in my head when I was writing cos I see what I’m writing, I write in pictures. I see what I’m writing, so when I’m watching the movie it’s so different. Not to say that it wasn’t good because no two directors will direct the same script in the same way. So I said to myself, if my stories are going to have my DNA, then I’m going to have to direct them myself,” she said.

Omoni Oboli emphasized that she felt hesitant at the beginning of her directing journey. She lacked confidence but mustered up the courage to pursue her dreams.

“And it was a scary thought, really who do you think you are to come and direct a film? Like who are you again? You know it was so scary, but then I said to myself, Warri no dey carry lass na. Wwetin dem get wey I no get? I was like, I’ll do this thing. So I started understudying directors, like I’m acting on set but I’m watching the director closely. And I said you know what? Maybe I need some formal education on this. So I went to the New York Film Academy for a short course,” she added.

Omoni Oboli has directed several films, including “Moms at War,” “Last Year Single” (currently streaming on Netflix), and “The Uprising: Wives on Strike 3,” the third installment of the “Wives on Strike” franchise, which is set to premiere in cinemas this October.

Tems reacts to Buju Banton as he criticism of Afrobeats | fab.ng

In a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, Tems addressed the controversial claim from Buju Banton. Buju Banton claimed that Afrobeats fails to reflect the true realities of its listeners. The Grammy-winning singer argued that Afrobeats, like any other musical genre, serves a specific purpose for its creators, who are predominantly Nigerian.

She emphasized that Afrobeats is a form of pop music designed to provide its audience with a joyful and uplifting experience, similar to pop music from other regions of the world.

Tems countered Buju Banton by highlighting the positive and celebratory nature of Afrobeats, which offers a much-needed escape from the challenges of everyday life.

Tems further emphasised that “Afrobeats is not Reggae, it’s not Rock, it’s for a certain purpose. Thinking about its origin which is Nigeria, it’s for a certain purpose and you can join us in its enjoyment.”

In a recent episode of the Drinking Champs Podcast, Buju Banton made a controversial statement about Afrobeats. He claimed that the movement’s music fails to accurately represent the realities of its predominantly Black audience across Africa. Banton further argued that Nigerian artists leading the global Afrobeats movement have neglected to acknowledge the contributions of Jamaican stars.

Banton’s criticism of Afrobeats sparked reactions from several artists. These include Jamaican Dancehall star Spice. Spice disagreed with her compatriot, pointing out that there are numerous Afrobeats acts, such as Burna Boy and Falz, whose music addresses sociopolitical issues and reflects the realities of their listeners.

In the same interview, Tems addressed the false and offensive rumors that she was pregnant for American rapper Future. The singer dismissed these rumors as an attempt to spread the most outrageous and baseless gossip possible by purveyors of fake news.

Tems also shared insights into her recently released debut album, “Born In The Wild.” The album features guest appearances from Asake and J Cole. She discussed the creative process behind the album and the personal significance of its songs.
