naptu2: Ondo and Edo are meant to share something in common (although it's a bit controversial). The demonym is meant to be exactly the same as the name of the state. This is because there was an ancient kingdom called Ondo and the people of that kingdom are known as Ondo. (The problem is that I don't think that all the people that are from Ondo State are from that kingdom). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ondo_Kingdom
Similarly, people from Edo State are known as Edo, because there is an ethnicity known as Edo (the controversy is that I'm not sure that all the people from Edo State are from that ethnicity).
Ima Niboro was Goodluck Jonathan's media assistant until 2011. After the 2011 elections President Jonathan appointed Reuben Abati and Reno Omokri as his media assistants. In 2012 President Jonathan also appointed Dr Doyin Okupe as his assistant on public affairs.
The rumour that Reno Omokri was sacked began in 2015 because President Jonathan also appointed Obi Asika as his assistant on new media ( https://www.nairaland.com/2168270/bye-bye-reno-omokri-welcome#31103927 ) , however President Jonathan clarified that Reno Omokri had not been sacked.
I had a nickname for this movie the first time I watched it. I called it the "What the hell is going to happen next movie". Who wanted to kill the pope? What happened to the corpse? Who was the man with the scar? Why was an albino following her? Why were many strange people following her and why were people dying around her? What the hell is going to happen next??
captainUzoJoe: Too much knowledge kills... See her drowning there but she's looking for a book to help her escape when there's a door right in front of her
That's why it's "Drowning in work". There's an exit door, but how many people can afford to take the exit?
Mouthwatering clashes lined up as UEFA unveils Champions League fixtures By Jerry Omondi -15 mins ago
Five-time Champions League winners Bayern Munich may face fellow five-time winners Barcelona in the Quarter-Final stage of the 2019-20 tournament which will resume in early August.
UEFA unveiled the remaining fixtures of the continental club tournament on Friday, leaving football fans around the world excited by the potential fixtures.
Bayern Munich overcame Chelsea 3-0 in the first leg played at Stamford Bridge. The Germans have to play the second leg against the Londoners, a game which will decide who proceeds to the Quarter finals.
To proceed, Chelsea will have to beat Bayern by four goals without reply.
Manchester City will also host Real Madrid for the second leg of the Round of 16 stage. The Citizens beat Real Madrid 2-1 in the first leg, and will only require a draw to proceed.
The other remaining Round of 16 matches include Barcelona vs Napoli and Juventus vs Lyon.
If Real Madrid qualifies at the expense of Manchester City and Juventus eliminates Lyon, Cristiano Ronaldo will have a chance to play against his former side for the first time since he left the Spanish giants in July 2018.
The Champions League has remained suspended since March due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
The second leg of last-16 ties yet to be completed will take place from 7-8 August and teams due to be at home for those matches will still play at their own stadium.
The quarter final stage onwards will be played in condensed single-leg fixtures that will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, either at Sporting’s Estadio Jose Alvalade or Benfica’s Estadio da Luz between August 12-23.

Caveatemptor: First off I must say it is so sad you cannot get much information on line about this programme. As I remember it in the beginning of the Village headmaster there was Ted Mukoro as the headmaster. Elsie Olusola as Sisi Clara,his wife. Jab Adu as Bassey Okon. And a lady who played his daughter Ekaette. This was the original cast. Any other actor or character was a later addition to the cast. Unfortunately non of these videos of the first few episodes can be found. I don't dispute that there might have been a Fathia Okon as a later addition to the programme but Fathia was definitely not the name of Bassey Okons daughter when the programme started as I recall it.
I think she started acting from the beginning. I do remember very well when she left the series in 1979 (she's been based in Paris since the mid-1980s). For information about the show you can check the Nigeria Nostalgia Project. That's where I just found a picture of my aunt. It's from a 1969 edition of the Sunday Times. I've also found out the name of the actress that played Ekaette. Her name was Betty Jackson (funny enough, it was a friend of mine that posted her name on the group. I need to talk to him later).
Interestingly I had forgotten that John Chukwu acted in the New Village Headmaster, but he is in the clip that I posted on the first page of this thread. Bassey Okon was the first owner of the shop, then Okoro took it over and then Boniface was the last owner of the shop before the show ended.
Here's a picture of Fathia Okon in a 1969 edition of the Sunday Times.
I've been searching for a video of my aunt for ages but I've had no luck. Our discussion inspired me to search for a picture instead and I found a picture of her in a 1969 edition of Daily Times that was posted online.
I sent it to my brother and I told him that someone called her Ekaette. He tried to remind me that Ekaette was a different person and that she was Bassey Okon's niece, while my aunt (Fathia Okon) was his daughter.
However, I can remember my aunt in the show quite well, but I still don't remember any Ekaette. Do you remember the name of the actress that played the part of Ekaette?
