In a Channels TV interview about her career, Aralola Olamuyiwa, better known by her stage name Ara, disclosed this information.

She claimed that the men refused to teach her how to play the drums, so she had to learn by watching them play.

“I learned how to play the talking drum by watching the guys play because they refused to teach me. So, I watched them play. I bought the music of people that I look up to in the industry,”

She also mentioned that in order to improve her craft and broaden her artistic horizons, she had to listen to a variety of sounds performed by seasoned Nigerian musicians.

“My father had a huge collection from Fela to Ayinla Omo Wura to Yusuf Olatunji to King Sunny Ade and everybody. So I learned to play with them. I listened to even Lagbaja when I was learning how to play because I love Lagbaja a lot. So I listened to all of their music and I trained my ear to listen differently and play differently.”

Ara is a female singer, entertainer, talking drummer, and cultural ambassador for the Ooni of Ife. Her career spans more than two decades.She is Africa's most prominent female drummer.

Ifeanyi Okowa, the governor of the state, recommends Oborevwori as his preferred candidate.

Oborevwori Sheriff, the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, has been recognized by the Supreme Court as the appropriate candidate for the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

Justice Tijani Abubakar upheld the Court of Appeal's judgment of August 29, 2022, in her ruling on Friday, October 21, 2022.

David Edevbie's appeal was also turned down by the judge because it lacked merit.

Edevbie, who received 113 votes in the party's primary election, was defeated by Oborevwori, who received 590 votes.

During the administration of James Ibori, Edevbie served as the commissioner for finance.

While Oborevwori is the preferred candidate of the state governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, it is believed that the former governor of the state, Ibori, is supporting Edevbie.

Victony, a rising Nigerian artist who graduated from Spotify RADAR Africa, is going to release the first-ever Nigerian Spotify Single, a cover of Davido's "Dami Duro."A disco-influenced cover of Davido's classic decade-old club banger is available only on Spotify.

“Dami Duro is a really beautiful song by Davido. My favorite part of the track is the hook. It’s very audacious, it’s so powerful. I really, really love that. With the Spotify Singles version, we wanted to do something really different to make it more of a classic and give it this disco feel - I’d say ‘Grandpa Ebelebe’ style.”

In March 2022, the festival began to highlight daring storytellers.

The Annual Film Mischief festival’s second edition, scheduled for 2023, has been confirmed by its organizers.

The festival’s 2023 edition, with the theme “ShootTheCulture,” will continue its mission to bring passionate short film fans and creators from all over Africa to the city of Lagos, Nigeria.Similar to the inaugural festival, which primarily featured films of Nigerian descent, this one will also feature films from across Africa.

Chukwu Martin, founder of TAFM confirmed the festival’s new edition in a statement. “In March 2022, we launched The Annual Film Mischief to shine the spotlight on filmmakers daring to tell stories with unique narratives and styles. The average African filmmaker comes from humble beginnings and though there will be limited resources, there will never be limits to creativity, hence our theme – ‘Less is More’. It was a call to action to reach beyond financial limitations and dig into the abundant well of creativity.”

The press release states that domestic and international feature and short films will be selected for the festival.Filmmakers are encouraged to submit entries early enough through TAFM’s filmfreeway page at no cost for the 2023 edition of The Annual Film Mischief, which will officially open on November 1, 2022.

Martin mentioned the successes of the past movie that screened at the festival and went on to represent the industry internationally. “We had some successes to celebrate. ‘Yahoo+’, one of the films screened at TAFM ’22, went on to get nationwide theatrical distribution with moderate success at the Nigerian box office.”

Other directors whose films were shown at the previous event went on to win awards at local and international film festivals.Olabode Izy, whose film “The Samaritan” won the Audience Cheese Pick at the festival the year before, went on to win awards at Realtime International Film Festival and Cuckoo International Film Awards.
Owen Olowu’s “Songs of Ubong,” which won the TAFM Grand Cheese Prize, Reflections Winner, and Best Screenplay, award-winning “Eyimofe” by Chuko & Ari Esiri, which opened the festival, and Paul Utomi’s “Country Hard,” which provided an excellent conclusion, are two additional notable titles from the inaugural TAFM.
