Ya. Glaxx thinks so too. Check out that 2nd pics. Ageless...

Yes oo, her beauty is top notch.

deeplow:
bruh... I ain't even gon lie, that woman is the only reason I can manage to watch these nollywood movies. I dont even care if she knows how to act or not, I just cant take my eyes of her. she is a goddess

lol Gbamest!!

Omotola Ekeinde is a beauty Goddess. The only Nigerian actresses that came close to her in terms of beauty are Tonto Dike and Ini Edo. She's gorgeous and her husband dey lucky oo.. lol.

Nairalanders do u guys agree with me that she's the most beautiful actress to ever grace the Nigerian Cinema called Nollywood?

nksplash:
me like her very much, she will blow at the appointed time. i love her music@ ELELE

Ok

babatundeizbad:
Whoever wrote this article is on point. The only reason I find time to watch The Breakfast Club is cos of Charlamagne The God, that guy ask the biggest stars all the controversial questions.
Whoever tries that here is going to be really huge. They are all just following the trend and playing it safe... Stupid.

Gbam!! you nailed it!!!

I saw dis article on PulseNg site. Interesting read!!!


I hardly listen to the radio, or watch music TV
stations, these days for two basic reasons; the
music sucks (songs/and video on air are largely
paid for). It's the same songs on almost all
stations.
Radio and TV in Nigeria is a business that leaves
little room for non-mainstream songs to survive.
It's business. I can't get mad at that. Boys must
eat. If you don't like it, create a playlist of songs
and listen to them on your phone.
The second reason why I am off mass media is
because of the lack of quality interviews on the
airwaves. Interviews these days are merely
publicity stunts.
Your favourite OAP or TV presenter prefers to
ask the 'safe' questions, and massage the ego of
a celebrity rather than ask the serious questions
that people want to hear answers to.
It's like watching two football teams playing for
a goalless draw, instead of battling to the end of
regular time. It's outright boring, and not fair to
the spectactors.
An OAP/TV presenter shortchanges his or her
audience when he/she asks the easy questions
that won't piss off the guest.
It's basically sacrificing your integrity on the
altar of being cool with the hottest act so that
you can get invited to the exclusive parties, and
take selfies.
By becoming 'yes men' to music celebs, the
music culture and history gets poorer by the
minute. The culture won't be rich, and there
won't be reference marks and history for the
next generation to get inspired by.
There is no legacy for an individual who licks the
boot of another human being. Sadly this is what
our red carpet OAPs and presenters are doing.
They are groupies, microphone vixens. And we all
know vixens don't last long in this game.
Many of these personalities we see asking 'PR'
questions won't be relevant in the next five
years. They have served themselves up as
pawns.
In America we have the likes of Angie Martinez,
Elliot Wilson, Charlemagne The God, Angela
Yee, Sway . These are media personalities who
go in and ask the real stuff. By doing so they've
created legendary moments for the music and
pop culture in America.
In England, we have Trevor Nelson, and Zane
Lowe who know how to crack the facade a
celebrity has built around himself, and bring out
the real person.
Shout out to the veteran Olisa Adibua for taking
the bull by the horn and asking D'banj some real
hard questions. I have never seen D'banj look so
uncomfortable in his entire career.
Oprah Winfrey didn't get to where she is today
by famzing celebs.
That interview is now the stuff of legends, not
because Olisa asked D'banj milk and cookie
questions.
It doesn't have anything to do with being
confrotational. It has to do with cleverly asking
questions that will reveal the real mind state of a
music celeb.
Right now, apart from Olisa Adibua I can't think
of anyone else doing it. Just like many things in
this country, interviews are just fun and games.
As the music industry gets bigger and hopefully
better, where are the gate keepers documenting
the key moments of our music culture? It seems
they are busy being groupies instead of doing
their real jobs. We need less groupies and people
with balls on TV and radio.

Etcetera is mad lol.

Lola Savage.

maureenngg:
[color=#990000][/color] i luv dis girl,she deserves it really worked hard last year

Yes datz true.

Zoharariel:
Ok, come sell me your song

lol

rondo235:
I luv dis lady tiwa savage—born diva...am wit u always

ok

Ok guys, keep it coming. I love them both.

These two ladies are pretty talented!! I love both of them scatter!! lol. Queen Nwokoye is known for her hit movie ADA MBANO while Funke Akindele is known for her hit movie JENIFA. Both girls are very hilarious in those movies and brought their A game.

I happened to see two of them together in another Nollywood movie PRETTY LIARS and these girls were awesome!! One thing about them is that they are not restricted to only Comedy films. They feature in other genres of movies as well.

So Nairalanders, between the two, who is more hilarious among their movies you have seen.

Queen Nwokoye is truly a Queen in Nollywood.

Interesting read.

dechandel:

Very pretty!! She looks like Lola Rae.

zeelo2014:
when I was much younger, My sis takes me along to dates with unserious guys. When u know the guy is coming just to flex u and bang u, u go with ur brother to spoil his show. Then I go just balance, order, chop like crazy, come dey gist random gist join.
But the guy she finally married, she never took me along from the onset.
moral of the story: A smart girl knows what a guy is coming for from the onset.

Word. You correct.

dechandel:
I am sure she carried her brother along because none of her female friends were available!!
Some girls with this their "let us go and eat him"syndrome

exactly.

Lol dis is funny o and it happened yesterday. A girl brought her brother to her Val date with her boyfriend.

Guys if you are the boyfriend, what will you do?

Ladies, will you take ur brother along to ur val date with ur boo?

See the picture below lol.

Saw this interview on Vanguard....

American-born Nigerian singer, Lola Savage, is
not related to Tiwa Savage. Though they bear
same surname, Lola says she’s not trying to be
like Tiwa Savage who is a big name in the
Nigerian music industry. Instead, she expresses
her desire to do a collabo with the songstress to
prove to the world that she’s not back in Nigeria
to compete with the Mavin records queen of
songs. She shares her story with Showtime
Celebrity.

How do you intend to break into the Nigerian
music scene?

I am just a singer and I love to do it to the best
of my ability. I am going to be myself even
though there are many female artistes at the
moment. I am going to work very hard in
ensuring that I share my own craft with the
world.

What
is
your
selling
point
as
an
entertainer?

It’s
my
looks
and
my
voice.I
don’t
have
the
Beyonce
kind
of
voice or that of Tiwa, Waje or Omawunmi. My
voice isn’t as strong as theirs, but I do know that
I have a beautiful voice. I can sing most current
songs very well. My interest lies in old school
music because I grew up listening to the likes of
Ebenezer Obey and Afrobeat legend, Fela. I am
going to stand out with my own voice and my
looks.

Talking about your looks, are you referring to your
sex appeal?

Yes, sex appeal and my style.Fashion is one
thing, but style is carrying yourself in what you
wear and being confident with it.That speaks a
lot.

How did your journey into music begin?

I was a member of an RnB group back in
Chicago. I actually played RnB with the group for
about three years.We lost out on a deal and
years later, everybody kept telling me that the
Nigerian music industry is growing. That was
between 2006 and 2007 .Though I was skeptical
at that time, I still put out some singles and gave
them to some Nigerian DJs that I came in contact
with. I met the likes of Eldee and Banky W who
kept telling me to relocate to Nigeria. But
because of the things that were going on in my
life at that time, I couldn’t take a bold step to
return home. Fortunately, my mum gave me the
push late 2013 and am here to see how far the
push will take me.

Do people compare you with Tiwa Savage?

There really is no comparison except for the last
name.She is one of the artistes in Nigeria that
have actually paved the way for most of the
female singers that are trying to do their own
things.I respect her craft, I respect what she is
doing. I am Lola Savage .I am just trying to do
what I know how to do best since I was a child. I
am here to show Nigerians that I can do it too.I
am not trying to be like anyone else.I am not
trying to be like Tiwa.I can sing too and I can
perform.I am just here to show Nigerians that I
can build my own brand and reach the level that
some female acts have attained today. I am
confident enough to know that I can get there.

What is your relationship with her?

We are not actually related, it’s more of an
extended family affair. Savage is just one family
here in Lagos.

Do you consider her as a threat to your career or
as a mentor?

It’s not about competition, its about the fact that
I see what she is doing and I respect it. If not for
for her , I don’t think I will have that zeal to come
here and do something of my own.

Is any of your songs inspired by a personal
experience?

Yes, Dem Say, one of my songs basically talks
about not allowing what people say bother us.A
lot of people allow what people say get to them.I
was having those issues at a time.I spoke with
my producer and we decided to create a song
around it.

Can you quit music for your relationship?

I definitely can’t quit music for my relationship.
Whoever I’m dating should know and understand
who I am and what I believe in. Relationship is
about respecting each other and I will not quit
music for a relationship.

Are you looking forward to working with a
Nigerian female artiste?

Yes! And that will be Tiwa Savage

Why Tiwa Savage?

I just feel that we need to show the world that we
are not competing. Jo-el and Tuface are a good
example. The thing with Nigerians is that we
don’t see things from a different perspective.
What I think I need to do is to show Nigerians
that I’m not competing with her by doing a song
with Tiwa Savage. That doesn’t mean I am trying
to hide behind her shadows to launch myself into
the mainstream music world; that’s not my
intention at all.It just shows that one is looking
up to the other

What are the challenges you are facing as an
emerging act?

So far, I have had challenges with productions,
people who pretend to be what they are
not.Everything here is just about money.
What are you implying?
What I mean is that everything in life is a hustle.
It’s not only a Nigerian thing.It’s either about
spending money or trying to get money.Since I
have been here ,everything I have done has
brought money out of my pocket.I have lost so
much without getting the service that I was
supposed to get.It’s sad and that’s my biggest
challenge at the moment.

Have you experienced any wardrobe malfunction?

I pray it never happens.I have not experienced a
wardrobe malfunction, but I have experienced
microphone malfunction.When the microphone
starts giving you that feedback sound, it
hurts.You want to leave the stage crying.When I
was in the female group, we did not use
microphones because we did a lot of hip-hop
dancing. We used more of headsets.It just makes
things much more easier.

If you were to make a comparison between the
music industry in America and that of Nigeria,
what will it be?

The contract here is completely different from the
contract in the U.S.A.Secondly, the way the
audience interacts with a performer is so much
different.They are not supportive that much.I
have only come to understand the saying that
bad publicity is also good. So, that keeps me
going.

How do you handle criticism on the social media?

I don’t really care about what they say. If I have
to give a response I will just say go check my
background.People just like to talk.They don’t
really do their homework and investigations.They
don’t know me like they think they do.These are
the ones that are called haters, they just hate you
for no reason.

Do you play any instrument?

I play the piano. I also play the clarinet and the
flute.A lot of people play by ear and not by
musical notes.I studied musical notes, but
growing up I forgot everything. I just play by ear
Whose advice has been useful to your career?
That will be that of Eldee.He was the first person
to tell me that being in Nigeria was the best thing
to have happened to me. That was in 2008, when
he relocated to Nigeria.
How do you handle the attention from your male
fans?
I entertain their friendship, but I do not encourage
anything that goes beyond the friendship.
