When the Roots Are Deep, You Don’t Fear the Wind —Teddy A to BamBam

Bamike mi, my rare fabric.
Watching the world finally applaud your greatness on screen brings tears to my eyes—but truth is, you’ve always been a star, even before the spotlight found you.

Classy. Kind. Intelligent. Stubborn in the best way. A queen on set and a force at home.
A wonderful mother and the kind of wife that makes life feel like a blessing.

This is just the beginning, Iyawo mi. Nollywood hasn’t seen anything yet.
I’ll be right here, cheering as you take every stage by storm.

Delay is never denial—your time is now.
I love you, deeply and forever. —Teddy A

According to Ivie, her husband has been a constant source of encouragement throughout her career and personal life.

She praised him for being a wonderful partner and father, writing:

Damn we didn’t know it’d turn out this way but I’m so freaking glad it did! Amazing boyfriend turned Fantastic Husband turned Best Dad Ever.. 🙌🏽 This mad girl will always be crazy about you Let’s grow old together "

A Daughter Is Worth More Than Three Sons - Nollywood Actor RMD

"When my father was ill, my sister left her job to stay with him. My other sister left her business to work shifts with her. None of us boys left our business or work.

“Yet you foolishly complain that you have only girls? You have hit the jackpot!

“Each of your daughters is worth 3 sons! Having a daughter prolongs your life. She will not get into as much trouble as your sons.

“She is less likely to be disobedient. When she leaves your house, she will remember you. If you are too old to leave alone, she will move you into her home, matrimonial or not. Go and thank God for having daughters!" -Richard Mofe-Damijo.

“I’d Rather Be Single and Happy Than Married and Miserable!” Ebube Nwagbo’s Bold Stand Against Marriage Pressure
Nollywood star Ebube Nwagbo is shutting down society’s relentless push to see her wed, delivering a fierce message that’s resonating far and wide. At 42, she’s unapologetically single and refusing to bow to expectations from family, friends, or social media.
“People rush into marriage at 20, 30, and end up broken, depressed, or worse—gone. Society stays silent until it’s too late,” she declared. For Ebube, marriage must be a source of joy, not a life sentence. Her stance is a wake-up call for women everywhere: peace trumps pressure.
“Marriage isn’t a race,” she insists. “I’m choosing myself first.” Ebube’s truth is a powerful reminder—happiness is worth waiting for.

SO SAD

“I deleted my Facebook page named “I AM OKON LAGOS” because I was getting really frustrated with the lack of engagements and support. It's gone. I’m no longer on facebook again.
To be honest, the Nollywood industry isn't making things any easier, everything feels like it's falling apart.” - Imeh Bishop (Okon Lagos)

Breaking news: Okon Lagos, a well-known actor from Akwa Ibom and Nigeria, has left Facebook. He deactivated his account due to feeling frustrated and not getting enough engagements on his posts.

Audience!! I was so shocked when I found out that his account was no longer there, so he had said it; No support, No engagements and we all know how it is.

VULTURE: THE DIRTY, UGLY BIRD THAT SAVES THE WORLD

In Nigeria, if a vulture lands on your roof?

People gather.
They point.
They hiss.
They shout, “Ayeee! Evil has landed!”

Some will even call native doctor.
Others will fast and pray.

Why?

Because someone’s uncle once said vultures are messengers of death.
Even nollywood demonize vultures.

But what if I told you….

That the same bird we fear…
The same one we call dirty and demonic…
Is the reason we haven’t all died from disease?

Stay with me.

Let’s meet the misunderstood janitor of the wild:

VULTURES EAT DEAD THINGS… AND THAT’S WHAT KEEPS US ALIVE.

They eat carcasses.

Rotten meat.
Decaying animals.
The things no other animal touches.

But what if they didn’t?

If vultures disappeared today—
Diseases like anthrax, rabies, and botulism would rise.

Because that goat that died by the roadside?
Flies will feed.
Maggots will grow.
Bacteria will multiply.

And before you know it?

Death will enter the food chain.
It will enter the air.
It will enter us.

But vultures step in…
No complaint.
No applause.

They eat the death so that we can live.

Lesson?
Sometimes, your calling will take you to dirty places.
Unseen. Uncelebrated.
But if you don’t do it, the world will rot.

Not every hero wears perfume.
Some carry a stink… so others can smell nice.

VULTURE STOMACHS CAN KILL CHOLERA.

Their digestive system is so acidic, It can dissolve bacteria that would kill humans instantly.

They turn poison into peace.

Lesson?
Not everything that enters your life is meant to destroy you.

Your hardship is not your handicap.
It may be your hidden healing power.

VULTURES ARE LOYAL.

They mate for life.

One partner.
One mission.
One commitment.

Even when that partner dies—
They don’t just “move on” like nothing happened.

They mourn.
They isolate.
They grieve.

They understand what it means to love deeply.

Lesson?
Loyalty is not old school.
It is rare. Sacred. Needed.

In a world of situationships and betrayals—
Be the one who stays true.
Be the one who loves with honor.

VULTURES HAVE NO VOICE.

Yes.
They can’t sing.
They can’t chirp.

They make hisses and grunts. That’s all.

In a world where parrots and nightingales get all the attention…

The vulture thrives in silence.

Lesson?
You don’t have to be loud to be legendary.
Let your work speak.
Let your results roar.
Let your impact echo long after you’ve left the room.

VULTURES DON’T KILL, THEY RESTORE.

They don’t hunt.

They wait for what has died.
Then they clean it up.

Nature’s final responders.

While lions roar and eagles hunt—
Vultures restore balance.

Lesson?
You don’t have to be aggressive to be effective.

Some of us are not fighters.
We are healers.
We are restorers.
We are the ones that enter after the damage—
And pick up the pieces.

And that role?
Is just as sacred.

The vulture may be ugly. But it’s one of earth’s last defenders.
