When http://nigeriafilms.com asked for an interview from John Okafor, unarguably one of the most- sought-after actors in Nollywood, he happily obliged. But on the day of the appointment, Okafor who is fondly called Mr. Ibu (the name he bore in a succesful comedy movie he appeared in) fixed the meeting point at a Mr. Biggs Restaurant located at Aguda, Surulere.

The Source arrived first; but we didn't have to wait for too long that afternoon before he walked in with his manager and costumier. Remarkably, heads started turning upon his entrance and within minutes, everyone became aware of the presence of a celebrity in their midst. A few actually came over to say “hi” to him, just as they kept chorusing “Mr Ibu! Mr Ibu!, Mr. Ibu!”.

Okafor, who was wearing a net-like top, ash-coloured jeans and a fez cap to match, never for once ignored any voice as he kept looking their way and waving in appreciation.

Everywhere the now rested soap opera, Behind The clouds was aired on the network service of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Nigerians will never forget Franca Obianuju Brown, who played the role of Mama Nosa. Unlike what most people thought that she began her acting career with Behind the Clouds, the ageless actress revealed to Klieglights that she had featured in another Soap prior to Behind the Clouds.

"I did not start my acting career with Behind the Clouds. I started with Behind the Bukka an NTA Jos production. It was actually my stepping stone to playing the role I got in Behind the Clouds. In the earlier soap I acted as Ngozi a police officer's wife and I was the one giving my husband trouble in the house. I wanted him to do anything to get money so I could look good," she said.

The former banker, whose stay in the industry is older than many imagine speaks on her acting career and the wifely role she normally plays.

One thing that Saint Obi Nwafor, an A-list Nollywood actor has going for him is his undeniable good looks. In fact, in the Nigerian movie industry today, he is known as one of the most handsome studs in the business. Little wonder in time past, he was like the proverbial golden fish which has no hiding place - as everything about him became juicy gossip.

While his surname Nwafor wouldn't ring any bell among his teeming fans, the name, Saint Obi, does. At a time when he was still single and appeared not ready to settle down, he was regarded not only as a gay, some people even rumoured that he was impotent. All these rumours withered away last December, as this Nigerian-born action hero announced to everyone upon a return from the United States of America (USA) that he has finally found his missing rib. The announcement sure shattered the hearts of a few women. A few months after this, he again announced the birth of his son in the state of Texas, USA.

But do not expect to hear Nwafor, who is popularly known as Saint Obi, talk publicly about his wife, Linda. This, he said, is because he hopes to shield her from “unneccessary publicity and make her enjoy her marital life not as a celebrity's wife with the attendant exposure to media scrutiny.”

Onyeka Onwenu, popular Nigerian musician, actress and chairperson, Imo State Council of Arts and Culture

Many would readily describe her as a woman of many parts, but famous songstress, Onyeka Onwenu will simply tell you that she is first a journalist before any other thing.

Onwenu, popularly known as the Elegeant Stallion, is also a singer, actress and politician. Her foray into politics began a few years ago when she decided to run for the chairmanship of her local government area in Imo State, on the platform of the People's Democratic Party (PDP).

Penultimate Friday at the Jade Chinese Restaurant in Ikeja, GRA, Onwenu's friends and well-wishers treated her to a dinner in honour of two major achievements that recently came her way. First was her recent appointment by the Governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, as the chairman, Imo State Council of Arts and Culture;the second was the unveiling of her pet project, Omenuko Ojemba, an epic movie which tells the story of quintessential man.

To track down Sonny Mcdon for an interview was not particularly easy The reason is that Mcdon is almost everywhere working for Nollywood and projecting culture and entertainment. He was, in fact, among those who midwifed Nollywood in the early 1990's. After 20 years on screen, he veered into film production and directing. He is at present the executive secretary, Actors Guild of Nigeria; the programme director, African Movie Academy; programme director, Abuja International Film Festival and Chief Executive of Port Harcourt International Film and Cultural Festival. On Saturday, October 4, 2008, The Source ran into him at the Protean Hotel, Maryland, at an event where the Screen Writers Guild of Nigeria held a week -long activity on writing for Good Pictures sponsored by the United States of America (USA's) Department of State. The following discussion is the result of that chance meeting. Enjoy it.

Pupa Orits Wiliki, popular Reggae musician and one-time second Vice President, Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN)

Since 1989 when Pupa Oritz Wiliki's first album, Ten Commandments hit the market, many contend that there has never been a dull moment in his career, as he has not only released seven other successful follow-up works, but has also worked his way into being one of Nigeria's most visible reggae artistes.

But Wiliki was to for about four years disappear from the musical stage, only to reappear a few weeks ago with two albums, a gospel song and his usual contemporary Reggea-songs. In a chat with Wiliki which took place at his Surulere, Lagos studio on Independence day, he poured his heart out to The Source regarding why it took him that long to release his works.

Popular Nigerian musician and creator of Galala dance steps, John Odafe Asiemo a.k.a Daddy Showkey

Jamansthami is one of the many annual festivals celebrated by the Indians. This year's celebration did not pass by without members of the Indian community living in Lagos calling on friends and well-wishers to rejoice with them in one of their temples located in the Apapa area of the Lagos metropolis.

One of their very special guests this year turned out to be popular Ajegunle musician, John Odafe Asiemo, otherwise known as Daddy showkey, whose presence added more glamour to the event. The Source nevertheless, feasted on the opportunity to have a chat with the Galala cronner.

Finding Daddy Showkey in his Ojodu abode where he is currently building his all marble manison was not too difficult as virtually all the commercial motorcycle riders operating within that vicinity were conversant with it. With just N100 and a 20-minute ride on bumpy roads, The Source arrived to meet Showkey relaxed behind a parked Chereokee jeep outside the uncompleted building.
