Jagun Jagun is not just a movie; it’s a tapestry of emotions, dedication, and sheer artistry. A heartfelt salute to the post-production maestros led by the impeccable talents of @anthills_ and @niyiakinmolayan, who breathed life into this vision.
Femi, with each frame, you’ve not only set a new benchmark, but you’ve also ignited a fire within us. Pushing boundaries and redefining excellence. Because of you, mediocrity will never be in our vocabulary. Your passion is both infectious and inspiring.
To the backbone of Jagun Jagun, my co-stars, and the unsung heroes behind the scenes, your commitment and dedication are unparalleled. The camaraderie we forged will forever be etched in my heart.
The outpouring of love, the encouraging reviews, and the personal messages have been overwhelmingly heartening. Each word of appreciation propels me further. But rest assured, this is merely the beginning. The horizon promises even more captivating tales and cinematic splendors.
With deepest gratitude and boundless excitement for what’s to come.
By the way, I almost didn’t take the role but my management @thehypeagencyng led by @officialsamolatunji said I must take it. Today, I am glad I listened.
Thanks for giving me another opportunity to showcase my craft. O se Oma baba mi”.

Quite a lot of ladies love makeup cannot do without it before stepping out for the day.
This is understandable. However, there is need for caution as using makeup every day can harm the skin in many ways.
Some of these skin-unfriendly components used in everyday makeup products can even cause irritation, itchiness and sometimes even untimely ageing.
How? Many daily makeup products contain harsh chemicals that can disrupt functions of the protective barrier of the skin, making it easier for pathogens to enter the skin. Using makeup regularly can cause various side effects, impacting the health and natural glow of the skin.
However, this does not mean that ladies cannot use makeup at all if they follow a few healthy makeup habits and choose skin-friendly products.
Side Effects of Wearing Makeup Regularly
If you are experiencing one or more of the side effects listed below, it is time to do something about it.
1. Clogged Pores
If you are applying makeup on a regular basis and leaving it on your skin for a long time, there are chances that your skin pores get clogged. This does not let your skin breathe, making it prone to acne, bumps and other facial skin problems. You may notice bumps around your eyes as well.
2. Untimely Aging
One of the important things that you do to maintain your skin’s health is protecting it from sun damage. When you forget to apply sunscreen before applying makeup, you expose your skin to sun damage. Leaving makeup on for a longer period along with sun damage can result in premature ageing signs like wrinkles, fine lines and age spots. Also, when you don’t remove your makeup before you sleep, it can get into your pores and cause wrinkles.
3. Dry or Oily Skin
Makeup products that do not suit your skin type can make your skin drier or oilier. People with dry skin may experience extreme dryness if they use makeup that’s not meant for their skin type. Similarly, those with oily skin may experience too much of oil production than usual after using the wrong products.
4. Breakouts
Breakouts may occur due to hormonal imbalance, certain medications, improper diet etc. But regular usage of makeup can add to your woes and trigger more frequent breakouts. Skin experts agree that those with acne-prone skin should limit their makeup usage. Applying less makeup can improve your skin’s health and reduce blackheads too.
It would be recalled that days back that there had been news that the former Alaafin’s wife is in a relationship with Portable, who recently got married to an actress.
Controversial blogger Gist Lover also alleged that the mother of one is in a relationship with Portable by sharing screenshots of their comments.
The comments were captured at different times when they exchanged endearing words such as my king and queen, also using love emojis.
Finally, speaking on their relationship in an interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast, Portable hinted at being in a relationship with her.
The father of five debunked reports that he is the father of her child; stating that Queen Dami was only a fan before the death of her husband, the King.
According to him, things switch up from there as he isn’t one to have an affair with people’s wives.
The video which has caused a stir online has left many bashing Queen Dami for disrespecting the Monarchy.
Reactions
One Nkechi Oliseh wrote, “How do you go from being the King’s wife to sharing a bed with a riff-raff?
One Tech Belles wrote, “This woman married her great grandfather as what? 100th wife and you people are surprised she is with Portable now?
One Channel Gomez wrote, “Very classless and razz Olori! A whole iku baba Yeye’s wife. Smh if dead bodies could speak
One Attractions Affordables wrote, “Such an effortlessly shameless queen. Zero dignity
One Joella Solutions wrote, “The so-called queen doesn’t have class
One Christy Eva wrote, “From palace to gutter
One Vanessa Roger wrote, “From being the wife of a king to side chick of who? Come on self-respect is very important
One Tobicent wrote, “Regardless who is involved. Some women are shameless. I rest my case!!
One Lima Lush wrote, “Classless and shameless queen”.
Queen Dami’s marriage to the late Alaafin crashes
Recall that Queen Dami was married to the late monarch but the marriage crashed after she allegedly broke a palace rule.
According to reports, the Queen was locked up in a cell after allegedly going against a palace rule, an act that prompted her to leave her marriage and run away from the palace to Lagos on April 2021.
She later blamed the whole act on frustration and wrong advice from friends. Unfortunately, her relationship with the monarch was never repaired before his demise last year.
Lege Miami mocks Late Alaafin’s wife, Queen Dami as she hunts for love
Just two months before news broke out of her affair with Portable, Queen Dami had gone on a dating show to hunt for love.
Actor, Lege Miami, who owns a dating show, where he match-makes singles, made it known that the Queen was in desperate need of a lover.
The actor made a mockery of her over her desperation and took shots at her outfits
During our summer, the Northern Hemisphere leans toward the sun in its revolution, there are more daylight hours, and the sun’s angle is more perpendicular to us than at other times of the year.
The longer days and more concentrated sunlight, result in more heating.
Sunglasses surely come in handy on sunny days, not just to shield the eyes but also to add to your kinky looks ain’t it about being peculiar? What about using the sunglasses trends to update your look in a jiffy?
And there are plenty of trend-worthy styles to choose from, the latest sunglasses trends will complement your face and outfits all year round, so you can shield your eyes fashionably.
The sunglasses come in many different shapes, but closely resemble the round eyes of the monochromatic panda bears.
Panda Specs
Some of the pandas have been accessorized with hats and neckties — two can even be seen sipping their favorite beverages.
Getting to grips with the latest sunglasses that trend is the speediest way to this season’s best sunglasses. In the same vein as eyeglasses trends, the latest trends are derived from designer brands and the runway, framing what’s available on the market and covering everything from sunglasses shape to colour.
You will notice a synergy between the latest sunglasses trends for this season fashion trends with similar style eras referenced and the latest fashion color trends all present. As always the sunglasses trends are a mix of standout pieces and a reinforcement of staple silhouettes that are totally timeless.
Spicy and Trendy has this advice when it comes to picking your next pair
“For people with round faces, it is generally good to go for bold angular lines. Sunglasses with angular frames will sharpen softer facial features. Clean lines and angles will help to give the appearance of a longer, thinner face while a darker frame can enhance angular features.
Round faces
People with square faces already have angular facial lines so to soften this effect, look for curved round glasses with thinner frames – oval or rounder frames that are wider near the hinges are a good choice.
Oval faces
With oval faces, they are quite versatile so they could go for any frame shape. Personally, I prefer large and bold frames for oval-faced people. Heart-faced people have a wider forehead and angled chin, so to balance this choose a frame which is wider than your forehead so rounded or oval frames would be a good idea.”
Spicy and Trendy
Once you’ve identified the best designer sunglasses shape for your face, it’s time for the fun to begin! With our guide to the sunglasses trends 2023, you’ll be looking stylish in no time.
Spec Vibes
If you’re looking for a quick way to update your spring capsule wardrobe, a pair of fun frames will immediately bring your look up to date. Spanish clothing brand inflated frames were one of the five New York Fashion Week street style trends and look set to stay a must-have. Pardon the fashion quote, but while florals for spring might not be ‘groundbreaking’, Swarovski’s playful take on the motif in sunglasses form is another nod to the trend. If you’re after sunglasses that are a little more subtle, look for other statement frames such as gem-encrusted starlet-inspired styles for a touch of Hollywood glamour.
Sleek & Sporty Spectacles
With athleisure and activewear now firm favorites in our wardrobes, it was only a matter of time before our collective love of sporty styles was reflected in the sunglasses trends literally. Spicy and Trendy style sunglasses featuring mirrored lenses are enjoying a resurgence. While you might be unsure of this style if you wore it the first time around, the wraparound styles are actually some of the most protective for your eyes as the extended lens blocks out light and harmful rays at the sides of your face too. When trying on styles, it’s important to opt for a size that fits snugly without squeezing your face at the temples – many sports brands will offer different width frames in this silhouette for the perfect fit.
Mono-Lens Specs
If you’re a fan of supersized sunnies, then the mono-lens sunglasses trend is one for you. Seen on celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez, this supersized style borrows from the ultimate in cover-all-don’t-look-at-me-please-look-at-me sunglasses. But these single-lens styles are not just for the slopes. Look for pairs with mirrored or logo lenses for added fashion points or why not go one step further and try Dior’s visor style?
Tinted Lensed Specs
Want to make the world seem a happier place with the help of a pair of sunglasses? Then rose (and other colors) tinted lenses are for you. This trend fits right in with the Nineties style revival – if you’re wondering how to style wide-leg jeans, why not try finishing your outfit with a pair of tinted lenses? Nineties style icon Jennifer Aniston has been making a case for orange-tinted lenses but other popular hues include yellow, red, and blue. Just like with frames, it is worth considering what color suits your complexion before you invest in this sunglasses trend.
Spicy and Trendy offers this advice when choosing tinted lenses: “The key with tinted lenses is to make sure they are not too light and have more of a chic darker tint. For summer, I’m loving the warm tan tinted lenses Gigi known as Spectacle.”
Bright Framed Specs
If you think the trend for mood-boosting brights applies only to bright-colored clothes, think again. Hamish says: “After years of keeping it low-key, this is the summer for us to start getting expressive again with our eyewear!”
A quick way to perk up even the simplest outfit is with a pair of bright sunnies. Spicy and Trendy, the Head of Frames Development is excited about this brighter look: “Dopamine brights are dominating the runway and are the perfect way to add a cool pop of color to any outfit. These are my favorite trend of the year as they combine bold colors with simple designs.”
The key is to keep this look simple, so look for flattering, classic frame shapes such as rounded rectangular or cat eye styles. When it comes to selecting the best colors for your complexion, Spicy and Trendy has this advice: In terms of skin tone, if you have got a warm complexion then warmer tones like orange and red would go quite well and if you have got a cooler complexion go for blue, pink or green colored frames.
If you’re looking for a timeless way to add bold bright sunglasses to your look, why not consider a pair in bright white? “Although an advocate of bright colors, white should never be overlooked and it’s a trend that sees a comeback each summer.”
Oversized/Seventies Sunglasses
With the seventies trend returning for summer, it’s time to nail how to style flared jeans, and clogs – and don’t forget a pair of oversized sunglasses!
While in recent seasons sunglasses trends have veered towards Matrix-style tiny sunglasses, if you like to hide behind your frames, it’s time to breathe a sigh of relief and embrace oversized sunglasses once more. Seventies-inspired round and aviator shapes are key to this trend, with the latter working well with every face shape. If you’re looking for a lighter option, swap acetate frames for lightweight metallics in silver or gold.
Cat Eye Sunglasses
Cat eye sunglasses never fail to look glam and polished – and they’re perfect for oval face shapes as the upwards slant enhances the cheekbones and draws the eye upwards.
They’re equipped with UV400 protection and anti-glare lenses for comfortable use.
Cycling sunglasses unisex
Heart-shaped Spectacles
Who could resist a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses like these?
The outlined frame looks really unique, while the width of these sunglasses will balance out the slightly longer proportions of oval face shapes.
Butterfly Rimless Visor Sunglasses
Butterfly Sunglasses Luxury Diamond Size Lens Rimless Oversized Eyewear. With a rimless visor frame, they also come in pink for a more rose-tinted outlook.
Extra for Male FolksSpectacles
Let’s face it, men’s sunglasses are an absolute essential in summer. No outfit is complete without them, and let’s not forget, a decent pair of shades will protect your eyes from UV rays, which in turn will protect you from serious conditions such as photokeratitis and cataracts.
Plus, in summer with so much of our socializing now outside, there’s never been a more important time to invest. So, to save yourself from squinting your way through your engagements in the next few months, add a pair to the basket ASAP.
The question then isn’t whether you need new shades, it’s which sunglasses are best for you. How can you tell what suits you when you’re shopping online? Should you be dropping a wad of cash on designer pairs or will a high-street alternative do the job?
In short, you can make a judgment call based on the shape of your face. If you’ve got a rounded face, go for something angular. Shorter, square shapes can get away with wearing on-trend small shades, whereas longer faces should stick to bigger lenses that offer more eyebrow coverage. If you’ve got a heart shape or oval face, you’re sorted. Pretty much anything goes.
Sunglasses-Mens World
Men can choose from a variety of sunglasses, each with a unique style and function. Men’s sunglasses come in the following prominent categories:
Rectangular Sunglasses
They have rectangular frames, which go nicely with face characteristics that are angular. They look good on both men and women and give any ensemble an air of refinement and elegance.
Do I care for my Specs? Yeah
Tips to maintain and take care of the product?
After completing a time-consuming survey and in-depth research on a product, we exert more effort to purchase it. Some advice and techniques for enhancing the shelf-life of the sunglasses.
Storage: Place your sunglasses in a safe case when not in use. This will lessen the likelihood of scuffs, drops, and exposure to dirt or debris.
Handling: Use clean hands when handling your sunglasses to prevent getting any oils, lotions, or other substances on the lenses.
Avoid Excessive Heat: Extreme heat might deform the frame or harm the lenses. The lens coatings, adhesives, and general structural integrity can all be affected by excessive heat.
Avoid Chemical Contact: Keep your sunglasses away from harsh chemicals, including solvents, hairspray, perfume, and household cleaners.
Cleaning: Use a lens cleaning solution made especially for eyewear or a microfiber cleaning cloth to clean your lenses.

Nollywood Actor Damola Olatunji drops powerful quotes online about seeing things from different angles and realities.

“You start looking at it like, I’m a leader, right?
“I probably know the budget for the whole film we are doing.
“I know how much I was paid; I have an idea of how much you were paid.
“I’m sweating here and you pull up in a nice car.
“People around see it as though what are you doing differently? What are they doing differently?
“Ladies will tell you; ‘I’m selling hair. I’m doing this. I have multiple streams of income.
“Some people, they have it by mouth, we don’t know exactly what the conversation is.”
