The story of HAFIZ OYETORO a.k.a SAKA:

Photo: The story of HAFIZ OYETORO a.k.a SAKA: “I Have Murdered Poverty “ Hafiz Oyetoro’s controversial move from Etisalat to MTN as a brand face seems to have changed his fortune for good, writes CHUX OHAI South Africa-based scholar, Prof. Kole Omotosho, and lecturer at Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, Hafiz Oyetoro, do not belong to the same generation. The distance between Nigeria and SA also implies that they cannot be meeting each other constantly. Yet, they both have something in common. They have the enviable record of successfully combining their work as lecturers with advertising. Apart from the fact that Omotosho is a writer, best known for his controversial novel about Nigeria – Just Before Dawn – he has made a name for himself in SA where his face has graced several advert bill boards. The latest is the one in which he is advertising for Fidelity Bank Plc. Also, both men are household names in SA and Nigeria. While Omotosho is almost worshipped as a cult hero called Yebo Gogo, Oyetoro is popularly known as Saka among TV viewers in Nigeria. Incidentally, at a time when Omotosho’s 70th birthday is still the talk of the literary community, Oyetoro, who has also established himself as an actor and a popular face on TV, also recently stirred the scene. This is courtesy of his ‘shocking’ appearance in the MTN’s I don port advert, a commercial that many have described as an excellent one – not minding the fact that some believe it is a below-the-belt jab for Etisalat, the telecoms company for which he worked as an advertising model for some time. Ever since Oyetoro’s crossover, in which he is required to lead a major advertising campaign to drive the network portability initiative by Nigerian Communication Commission, Nigerians have not stopped talking about him and his amazing rise to fame and riches. The deal is believed to be worth about N20m, which is enough to give the hardworking and self-effacing actor a clean break from poverty. But while the man himself has declined to comment on the positive twist in his fortune, he was recently quoted in THE NEWS as saying that he had finally conquered poverty. “To the glory of God, level don change. Let me put it like that. I believe that in the nearest future, level will finally change. But now, level don dey change. I have murdered poverty and God has finally murdered it for me. I am no longer poor, but very comfortable,” he said. In a telephone interview with our correspondent on Tuesday, he said he was not ready to talk about his new contract with the telecommunications company. “For now, I don’t want to say anything. I promise you that I will talk at the appropriate time,” he said. But when asked if his new responsibilities as a brand ambassador for MTN would not clash with his job at the Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education, he replied, “I am a responsible civil servant. My duty is to teach other people’s children well, just as I would expect others to teach mine. So I cannot abandon my job. I assure you, everything has been taken care of.” A few years ago, little was known about Oyetoro. Although he studied Theatre Arts at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ago Iwoye worked as a part-time lecturer at the Olabisi Onabanjo University before moving to Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education in Ijanikin, Oyetoro remained relatively obscure for a long while. In those days, he managed to appear in a few insignificant theatre productions, in which he played mostly comic roles. It took a while before the qualities that would raise him a notch higher than most of his peers began to manifest. First, Nollywood came calling with an opportunity to establish himself as a regular face on the lighted screen. Oyetoro, who was burning up with a desire to prove himself, had to grab it. Still, a few years later and with appearances in hundreds of Nollywood films to his credit, he was far from hitting the limelight. Then another opportunity presented itself. This time, it came from Centrespread, an advertising agency. The agency wanted him to be their model for its advertising campaigns with Etisalat. The deal clicked and Oyetoro’s transformation began in earnest. That was when, for the purpose of the campaigns, he assumed a new identity: he became known ‘Saka’, a character that he helped create along with other Thespians in 2004 for a TV comedy series titled ‘House A-part’. Eventually, Oyetoro became the face of Etisalat campaigns. Within a short time, Saka had become a household name and Oyetoro could look forward to a brighter future free of the clutches of poverty. In an interview published on the Internet, the actor cum lecturer admitted that he was involved in a bitter struggle against poverty for a long time. “Poverty was my friend and family for a long time. As you sit with me here side by side, that was how I was sitting with poverty in the past,” he said. The struggle against poverty had also cost him the opportunity to settle down early enough in life. “There was a lady who disqualified me because I didn’t have a car. But, thank God, I eventually got a wife who genuinely loves me and who I genuinely love,” he said. FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER: @endyedesonnews

---Sunmbo Ajaba's wedding to pastor David Adeoye postponed---

Photo: Marriage Affairs: THE 2face IDIBIA Story: ---Sunmbo Ajaba's wedding to pastor David Adeoye postponed--- The wedding has either been cancelled or postponed. Nobody knows what it is at the moment. The couple who have been dating quietly since 2011 were supposed to wed this past Saturday May 4th at Royalty Christian Centre where Adeoye is head pastor, but no wedding took place. In fact Sunmbo, one of 2face Idibia's baby mamas, is currently in the US on holiday with her kids while pastor Adeoye is in Nigeria. Pastor Adeoye, who lost his wife in 2011, made his intention to marry Sunmbo known to some members of his congregation last year, an announcement that didn't go down well with his followers. Heard some of them quit the church...and a few pastors advised Adeoye to shelve the idea of marrying Sunmbo for now. Has that forced the man of God to cancel his wedding? Time will tell. For now, let's just say the wedding has been postponed while they sort out their issues... FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER: @endyedesonnews

.. My Boyfriend Doesn't Love Me Anymore Because I Failed JAMB…

Photo: Another JAMB Wahala: .. My Boyfriend Doesn't Love Me Anymore Because I Failed JAMB… Good day Mr. Endy Edeson, I read the story you published about a young man who no more believe in God because he failed JAMB after praying fervently. I have a similar problem Mr. Edeson, but mine is that my Boyfriend Doesn't Love Me Anymore Because I Failed JAMB. “There was a day I asked him, "do you love me?" and he said "yes". I now said but what will I do for you to love me more and he said if only I can pass my JAMB. Well, the JAMB result came out a few days ago and I did not pass it. When I told him the result, he said "hmmm, my baby since you didn't pass your JAMB I don't think things can work anymore" Now I don't know what to do because I love him very much and don't want to lose him. Please, could he have fallen out of love with me because of my JAMB result or he's gotten tired of the relationship & using it as a convenient excuse to cop out OR he never loved me before? “ GUYS, WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR THIS LADY?

Photo: Sad STORY: …Musician, Vast of Bracket diagnosed with cancer of the blood… Such a sad story to report but it will definitely end well in Jesus name...Amen. NEWS coming out says Nwanchukwu Ozioko, popularly known as Vast from the popular singing group, Bracket, has been diagnosed with Lymphoma, a type of cancer of the blood. The singer was diagnosed in February this year after suffering serious body pains, headaches, non stop coughing, loss of weight and weakness while in Paris for a show. He flew to London where a test conducted determined he had cancer. Vast has been receiving treatment at the Wellington Hospital in the UK since February. According to reports, he is responding very well to treatment. He has undergone 4 cycles of chemotherapy with each cycle costing about N1.4million. He will do a few more before returning to Nigeria next month. The sad part from sources close to the singer is that he actually went to a hospital in Nigeria late last year when he started losing weight and feeling weak. They conducted a test on him but it took them forever to come back with the test result. Over three months actually. By then the cancer had spread to his liver. I WISH HIM QUICK RECOVERY.

…Bishop David Benenoch withdraws divorce petition…

Photo: Ogbonge Love: …Bishop David Benenoch withdraws divorce petition… “I Will Not Divorce My WIFE, She is the LOVE of my LIFE” Months after filing for divorce from his wife of twenty years and mother of his three children, Bishop David Benenoch, the founding pastor of Communion Church, has withdrawn his divorce petition. Bishop Benenoch announced to his congregation during a service on Saturday September 15th 2012 that he was divorcing his wife, Esther Benenoch and there was no going back because it was an instruction from God. Well, apparently God has instructed himself otherwise because he has withdrawn his divorce petition. Below is his public notice he posted on his Facebook page after the cut... “Public Notice On Saturday the 15th of September last year, I announced my decision to file for a divorce to end my marriage to my wife, Esther. I wish to inform you my friends that Esther and I have decided to seek prayer solution to the challenges of our relationship. We are no more pursuing the divorce option at this time. I therefore have since withdrawn my divorce petition from the court. I thank you for your support, your concern and your prayers. I urge you to continue to keep us both in your prayers. Once again, thank you and God bless you.” FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER: @endyedesonnews
