Gulder, the premium lager beer from Nigerian Breweries Plc celebrated its brand ambassador, Mr. Yemi Olatunji, better known as Yemi Blaq, who turned a year older on Thursday, May 19th, 2016.
The birthday ceremony took place last week with his colleagues, friends and officials of Nigerian Breweries during the Nollywood Beer Academy, sponsored by Nigerian Breweries Plc, in Ibadan, Oyo State. Edem Vindah, Corporate Media/Brand PR Manager, NB Plc, explained that the brand is proud of Yemi Blaq because he represents Gulder’s ideals of the “real man who is responsible, hardworking, demonstrates leadership and respect for others.”
Gulder, Edem added, stands for the ultimate sign of achievement, masculinity, respect, self-assurance and success and also a premium quality beer for young success conscious men and women
Blaq, who became a Gulder brand ambassador last year, came into the movie industry in 2005. He has featured in over 250 films and he is seen as a hard working movie producer and one of the most famous in Nollywood.
Blaq was born and raised in a family of four siblings in Ondo state Nigeria and grew up knowing he was going to go into the arts.
From his primary school days, he got a lot of encouragement and support. After he played the role of the incorruptible judge in Olu Olagoke’s ‘The Incorruptible Judge’, his teacher came home and said to his mum, ‘oh this one is going to become an actor. Since then he has nurtured it up.
“I always wanted to act, I always loved acting. I used to act back in my days in school I studied theatre arts in school. I travelled and after I came back I joined the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN),” he said.
Yemi believes he was one of the lucky ones because he got into the industry when everyone said it was a bit tough. He was in it for about five or six months auditioning for roles, and talking to people for opportunities. Then he ran into a really large big audition which turned out to be a grand encounter.
“My first experience on set was with Obi Osotule and Mathias Agbo in Benin city. They were shooting this movie, ‘The Unseen Eyes’ and I had gone there to just flex my acting muscles. I got on set with the rest of the people who came for the audition and we started reading,” Blaq said.
‘Lost to Lust’ was the movie that gave him a breakthrough, being his first lead role movie with Mercy Johnson. “It came out successful and since then every director and producer want me to work for them. Because in the industry if you are good, people tend to look for you, to utilize your talent “he said.
After his breakthrough with ‘Lost to lust’ directors and filmmakers started calling upon him to feature in movies.
Aftermath of sharing a picture of him backing goat in the public for a movie set which went viral on social media, star actor, Kunle Afod has once again been caught in the act.
Though, this is not a real event but the action was displayed on a yet to be released movie set where he divided a woman into 2 and brought out her intestines. Check out the picture.
In the Yoruba movie industry, one actress who has been working endlessly to keep a scandal free profile is popular actress cum movie producer, Kikelomo Adeyemi who joined the movie industry a couple of years ago through Taiwo Hassan Ogogo, a strong pillar of Odunfa Caucus, but that became history when Yorubamoviegist.com’s Tatafo hinted us about the actress’ best kept secret.

Actor and movie producer, Adeniyi Omogoriola Hassan and Ayo Adesanya were long time lovers before the relationship hit the rock based on physical abuse. Ayo Adesanya walked out of the relationship years ago with their son who should be 10years of age at the moment. Omogoriola who has relocated to the UK seems to be doing fine and rarely puts up pictures of his child with Ayo Adesanya. Has he moved on? Is he still bittered? Well these are questions we are willing to ask him soon! Would he for any reason collect Ayo Adesanya back?
In a recent interview with the Entertainer, Ayo Adesanya reveals that she can never ever go back to Omogoriola Hassan. Enjoy the excerpts:
Talking about family, are there chances you of going back to your ex-husband?
(Screams) No. Never! You people have started looking for trouble again. Well, that’s all I can say. Never!
Even for the sake of your son that looks so much like his father?
Please, my son looks like me. He is my replica. So, stop saying otherwise.
When do you intend giving marriage another shot?
I don’t know. Anything can happen. But why not, indeed marriage is a beautiful thing.
What lessons did you learn from your previous marriage?
I have learnt a lot with the experience. I learnt to take things easy. Most of the things I learnt will be applied in any new relationship that I’m going into. I will also make sure I check out some qualities in that man before I go into relationship with him.
What makes you happy?
Peace! I love peace! I love when everything and everyone is at peace, it gives me extra joy. My family at peace, my friends at peace, I’m at peace, then I’m as happy as a bird.
Are you saying you lacked peace in your former marriage?
I didn’t say that oh! But I like peace a lot. When there’s no peace but troubles around me, I run.
Have you ever sighted Governor Akinwunmi Ambode official Convoy and grin with envy how he has been able to walk around freely without siren and still have a hitch free movement?Well in case you don’t know, there are some competent LASTMA officials who are working behind the scene to make sure that the Executive Governor of a metropolitan state like Lagos can walk freely without the use of Siren. They are called the LASTMA GOV.
They are group of competent LASTMA officials, who are not just highly educated, they knows the nitty-gritty of Lagos Traffic. Though many LASTMA officials may have been backlash couple of times, but when this magazine sighted this LASTMA GOV at work few weeks ago when RCCG had their monthly convention which took titled `Victorious Grace`. Not many will forget the huge truck which blocked the entrance leading into Redeem camp and many Redeemers had to follow Asese route to enter RCCG camp. A closer look we saw one young LASTMA official with tag name Alausa Rasak who was given others and directing traffic even outside Lagos while many of the road users beam with smile as he does that which he knows how to do best.We have always viewed the Lagos State Traffic Management (LASTMA) body as a not so important an organization that ought to be scrapped, but was forced to make a rethink when I saw them in the convoy of the Governor of Lagos state along Marina road and then at Ikeja few weeks ago. The many beautiful scenes of the Hollywood movie was replayed live on that day, we spotted PILOT 1 in the traffic in the most civil conduct. We noticed the professionalism with which the LASTMA Officials leading the convoy cleared the road. We heard them addressed the public from the Public Address System in their vehicle in the most humble manner so as to pave way for the Governor.Did I hear you say managing humans is the most difficult thing to do? YES! Research establishes this but controlling the traffic
