LIZ DA SILVER’S HUBBY, AKEEM SODIQ BURIES MUM

-
Husband of Togo-born Yoruba actress Liz Da Silver, Akeem Sodiq on Sunday 13th of May 2012 buried his mother Alhaja Morenike Sodiq who died at the age of 64 after complaining of a brief illness before she finally gave up the ghost on 17th of March 2012 and she was buried the following day according Islamic rite. In an event which took place at Sam Sonibare Community Center, Off Ogunlana Drive, Lawanson Lagos, Akeem threw a befitting party for the final burial of his mother and it was a memorable event. Unarguably, public figures don’t have privacy no matter how much they attempt to conceal themselves from the public. This was what best illustrate the situation at the event as the actress and her hubby who tried all they could to hide the event from public due to reasons best known to them, still manage to attract few top celebrities to the event. The event was done in a low profile but glamorous manner with much glitz. In a gathering like this, many actors and actresses would have been expected to storm the occasion but it was rather unfortunate that few faces of movie practitioners were seen at the event. Among them were Mukar Ray, Henrietta Kosoko, Funke Adeshiyan, Gbenga Oyeyiga, Dapo Ali Balogun, Bimbo Thomas, Ope Olusanya, Ireti Osayemi, Taiwo Adebayo, Bimbo Success, Lolade Abuta and Yetude popularly known as “Up to You” were the Yoruba movie stars at the burial, while the Jerry Band was at the occasion to electrify the guests. For the fact that there was no much announcement about the event, the auditorium and its premises were fully occupied with people. Sumptuous meals and choice drinks were bountiful but for a selected few while many others were ignored for unknown reasons. The absence of Liz Da Silver’s Nollywood best friend, Iyabo Ojo at the event was another amazing topic on the lips of almost everyone at the occasion when she was no where to be found amidst the Yoruba Movie stars at the event. If you are very conversant with the news making the rounds about the actresses, it will be recall that few months back, it was reported that the actress Liz Da Silver and Iyabo Ojo were at loggerhead though Iyabo bluntly debunked it that there was nothing of such nature, that it was a misunderstanding and they’ve resolved it. Iyabo, we gathered, was not even aware of the event let alone of attending and this could simply mean that things are still not as rosy as they were between the two.

Sonorous-voiced songstress Busola Oke aka Eleyele must surely be in somber mood now as her father, Professor Akande, a retired professor of the University of Lagos is dead. The family of the singer, Eleyele, last week has been receiving condolence visits from numerous sympathizers since the retired university don breathed his last breath last Monday 14th November 2011, at the State Hospital Ado Ekiti. Late professor Akande, we gathered, had a mere sickness of which the family then rushed him down to hospital, but unfortunately for him, he lost his life on his way to the said hospital in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State. But the unwholesome story we are hearing from Busola’s end, we gathered, that the Eleyele crooner, since demise of her father has not visited her immediate family home to commiserate with her other immediate family members, allegedly giving the impression that Busola is not showing any sign of concern about her father’s death. But in another development, it was gathered that B

A star in the making is right now hugging the Nigerian entertainment industry, in the person of multi-talented actor, Rilwan Adisa Ologolo otherwise known as Benzemaa.   He is the first Child of his mum and only child of his Father who died many years ago, particularly when he was 2 year old.   He grew up at Berkley Street, Obalende but he hails from the Ologolo family in Eti Osa Local Government, Lagos Island.  Though he is no longer new in the show business but as the saying goes, a patient dog eats the fattest bone, which is what aptly illustrates his journey into acting. The journey started for him in 2007 when he joined a Drama Club owned by the Vice Principal of his school. Thereafter, his friend who is also an actor, Azeez Ijaduade invited him to his group. Then, Benzemaa was still at Falomo Senior High School, Lagos.   He was there doing his thing quietly until 2013 when he took part in a movie titled Dayanmo, and since then, there is no going back for him.
