My breasts get me the most attention -Opeyemi Adetunji
My childhood was fun and filled with love. I was born and brought up in Lagos but we later moved to Ile Ife, Osun State, when I was a teenager. I shuttled between Lagos and Ile-Ife while growing up.
Education
For my elementary education, I attended Rita Nursery and Primary School (Ojodu), and All-Stars Nursery and Primary School, both in Lagos. From there, I proceeded to Omole Junior Secondary School, Lagos. I went on to complete my secondary education at Ambassadors College, Ile Ife, Osun State. I then proceeded to Adeyemi College of Education Ondo State, where I studied Social Studies and bagged a National Certificate in Education. I later attended Obafemi Awolowo University (Ace Chapter, Ondo State), where I studied Guidance and Counselling.
Acting
My passion for acting was ignited when I watched Sola Sobowale’s film, Ohun Oko S’omida’. I was wowed by her performance in the movie. As time went on, whenever my friends asked me in school why I wasn’t an actress, I always told them I was considering it. That was how my acting journey began.
Parents
I did not tell my parents about my flair for acting when I started out. It was later my mother got to know but she did not say anything. Later on, my dad got to know about it too and he told me about the perception people had of actors and actresses. He told me to be careful and that was it.
Lessons
I have learnt a lot of lessons in the course of my career. One of the most important lessons I have learnt is to never depend on any human. I have also learnt to work hard, put God first and pray.
Challenges
When I first got into the industry, I thought that after learning the craft, I would just start getting featured in movies and making money. But, it things did not turn out that way. I faced a lot of challenges. I had to prove myself, letting people know that I am a talented actress.
Getting funds was another major challenge. If one does not have money, one would find it hard integrating into the industry because one would have to go to locations, feed oneself, and take care of one’s accommodation. It wasn’t easy at all.
Scripts
I consider the storyline of a movie before deciding to feature in it. The storyline has to make sense and have a great message. When I am called for a job, the first questions I ask are about the role I would be playing, and the storyline, to know if it is something I can actually do. Money is not the most important thing to me.
Roles
I look forward to playing several diverse roles. I have not really explored all I can do as an actress. I still have many sides that are untapped.
Pay
In terms of the industry being lucrative, it has not been bad. However, I am speaking from my own experience. It has not been as (good) as I hoped, but not so bad either.
Fears
My greatest fear is that of failure. I don’t want to fail.
Harassment
Sexual harassment is everywhere. It is the way one carries oneself, where one goes and some other factors that would determine if one would be a victim. Also, if one is desperate for fame, people would make sexual advances at one. I have actually experienced it.
Attention
I used to think my face got me the most attention. However, compliments from people have made me know that my breasts get me the most attention.
Love
I don’t think love is enough to sustain a relationship. Trust is also important for a relationship to work. Both partners have to communicate well too. In addition, being friends with whoever one is in love with would go a long way. Friendship is one major factor that would make a relationship work
However, love is a beautiful thing. I believe that everyone, at one time or the other, must have done a weird thing for love. But, I cannot remember any of such personal experiences.
I want a man who is God-fearing, loving, caring and romantic— someone that would spoil me with gifts.
Cheating
If I don’t know about my partner cheating on me and he doesn’t make it obvious by rubbing it in my face… It is said that what one doesn’t know won’t hurt one.
Relationship
Money, love and sex are important in a relationship. I won’t pick one and leave the others.
Marriage
Understanding is an important factor in the success of any marriage.
I won’t quit my career for marriage. As long as I marry an understanding man, I can make adjustments (to my career) to make my marriage work. But, I won’t dump my career totally.
Crush
I did not have a celebrity crush before. But, I later realised that I love Richard Mofe-Damijo. He is my celebrity crush. He is good at what he does and he constantly reinvents himself. He has been in the entertainment industry for decades and is still going strong. I have a lot of respect and admiration for him.
Heartbreaks
Things like that are bound to happen. I always move on with my life.
Boobs
I don’t intentionally flaunt my boobs on social media. It is an obvious part of me. I cannot hide them. Besides, it is said that, ‘If you’ve got it, flaunt it’.
Actors
I will love to act alongside Ibrahim Chatta. He is an amazing actor. I would also love to act with Muyiwa Ademola. There was a time I wanted to act alongside Femi Adebayo, but that has happened.
Fans
There was a day a male fan wanted to kiss me. He said I kissed so well in a particular movie and he had been looking for me to kiss me. That was a very embarrassing moment with a fan.
Improvement
I sharpen my acting talent by reading. I watch a lot of movies too.
Fashion
I love to dress sexily, simply and classy.
Relaxation
To unwind, I listen to music and go on vacation.

The news of his passing was announced on Tuesday by a fellow actor, Tony Akposheri, in an Instagram post.
Akposheri expressed shock and sadness over the death of the actor, recalling their recent interactions.
He revealed that they had recently spent time together during the New Year, sharing memories and discussing future plans.
“Today, my heart is heavy. Davis Ofor, fondly known as Clarus from New Masquerade, is gone.
“We crossed into the New Year together, laughing, talking, sharing memories, and speaking hopefully about the days ahead,” he wrote.
“We spoke about life, about plans, about how far we had come. None of us knew that time was already counting differently for you.”
Describing the late actor as more than just a screen personality, Akposheri paid tribute to his character and impact.
“It is hard to believe that the voice I heard not long ago is now a memory. Hard to accept that someone so full of life can suddenly become a story we tell.”
He added, “Rest well, my friend. You came, you gave joy, you made your mark, and you will never be forgotten.”
Clarus gained prominence for his role in New Masquerade, one of Nigeria’s most popular television comedy shows, where his character became a household name.
Details surrounding the cause of his death were not immediately available.
Ofor rose to prominence for his role as Clarus in New Masquerade, a widely acclaimed Nigerian television comedy that aired on the Nigerian Television Authority and became a household favourite in the 1980s.
His portrayal of the comic character earned him national recognition and endeared him to audiences across the country, making Clarus one of the most memorable figures in Nigerian television history.
According to the unaudited financial statements of Nigerian Breweries Plc, International Breweries Plc, and Champion Breweries Plc for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the companies collectively recorded strong top-line performance driven largely by beer sales.
Nigerian Breweries Plc, the largest brewer in the country, recorded net revenue of N1.05tn for the period, up from N710.87bn in the corresponding period of 2024. Cost of sales stood at N631.23bn, resulting in a gross profit of N415.15bn.
After accounting for selling and distribution expenses of N193.85bn, administrative expenses of N59.58bn, finance costs of N39.15bn, and other charges, the company posted a profit after tax of N85.51bn, compared with a loss of N149.50bn in 2024. Basic earnings per share rose to 275 kobo from a loss of 1,455 kobo in the previous year.
In March, Nigerian Breweries Plc announced a return to profitability in the first quarter of 2025, reporting a 186 per cent increase in net profit compared to the same period in 2024. The unaudited financial results released on the Nigerian Exchange Limited showed that revenue for the period ended March 31, 2025, rose to N383.6bn, representing a 68.9 per cent increase from N227.1bn recorded in the first quarter of 2024.
International Breweries Plc, which operates in Nigeria and other West African markets, generated revenue of N472.57bn for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, up from N343.45bn in the same period of 2024.
The company reported a profit after tax of N57.83bn, reversing a loss of N112.81bn in 2024. Cost of sales increased to N311.64bn from N248.58bn, while administrative, marketing, and distribution expenses rose to N92.09bn from N72.68bn.
International Breweries Plc posted a profit of N11.9bn for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, marking a turnaround from a loss of N47.3bn in the same period last year. The company’s unaudited financial statements showed revenue increased to N167.4bn in Q2 2025 from N120bn in Q2 2024, while gross profit rose to N61.9bn from N33.8bn.
Overall, the combined revenue of the three companies amounted to N1.54tn, with Nigerian Breweries Plc accounting for the bulk of sales.
Analysts say the figures highlight the resilience of Nigeria’s beer market, which continues to benefit from strong brand loyalty and distribution networks despite rising production costs and broader macroeconomic pressures.
Commenting on consumer behaviour, the Head of Financial Institutions Ratings at Agusto & Co., Ayokunle Olubunmi, said the market is experiencing a gradual shift in spending patterns, with some consumers reducing beer consumption, a trend influencing how breweries adjust their strategies.
“Following AB InBev’s acquisition of International Breweries, the company invested in new breweries and production facilities to expand capacity. This indicates that firms are prioritising scaling operations and improving efficiency to meet rising demand and strengthen their market position,” Olubunmi said.
On the broader economic impact, the Chief Executive Officer of Economic Associates, Ayo Teriba, cautioned that strong sales figures do not necessarily translate into greater economic contribution.
“The point is that bigger isn’t necessarily better. Sales may be boosted by size, but if that size reflects purchases from other companies rather than actual value added, the contribution to the economy is limited. What really matters is net output, what value the company is actually creating. GDP, after all, is the sum of value created, not just total sales figures,” Teriba said.
Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has been remanded in custody following his arraignment on Monday over multiple criminal charges.
The singer was arraigned on a nine-count charge bordering on assault, theft, causing bodily harm, and resisting arrest.
Confirming the development, Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Oluseyi Babaseyi, said the charges stemmed from a complaint filed by Portable’s estranged partner, Ashabi Simple.
The arraignment followed a viral video on Sunday showing the singer in police custody.
According to the prosecution, Portable allegedly assaulted Ashabi Simple, several police officers, and other individuals at his bar located in Iyana Ilogbo on New Year’s Day.
Other alleged victims listed in the charge include Ileyemi Damilola, Akinyanju Oluwabusayomi, Olowu Olumide, Demilade Ogunniyi, and Ebuka Odah.
Portable is also accused of stealing a Mercedes-Benz E300 valued at N12 million, belonging to Ileyemi Damilola and reportedly purchased from Wally Dex Auto.
It was gathered that two siblings of Ashabi Simple testified as witnesses in court, although Ashabi herself was absent during the proceedings.
The police further alleged that Portable obstructed and assaulted a female police inspector, Ogungbe Olayemi, while she was carrying out her official duties.
The presiding judge denied the singer bail, citing the absence of the allegedly assaulted police officer in court. The judge ruled that the officer must be present before bail could be considered.
Portable was consequently remanded in custody, with the bail hearing adjourned to January 19, 2026.

Growing up in a musically inclined household, Flavour was exposed to various styles of music from an early age. However, it was his involvement in the local church that truly ignited his passion.
The Assembly said she was invited to defend herself over allegations of misconduct leveled against her.
Speaking during plenary, the Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku, said Irobosa must explain why her conduct had dragged the name of the Assembly “in the mud.”
He said, “Hon. Natasha Irobosa has been summoned to appear before the Ethics and Privilege Committee of the Assembly due to her recent conduct which has been trending online.
“This conduct drags the name of the House into the mud, and it is the responsibility of members of the Assembly to conduct themselves well.
“This House has cerebral minds and educated people who have been dragged in the mud for too long by our colleague, Hon. Natasha. She has been trending on social media and television for the wrong reason.
“The House has members who know what they are doing, and the attitude of our member has brought this House to disrepute, and we will not tolerate it.”
The Speaker added that the committee would submit its findings to the House within two weeks.
Meanwhile, fans of 2Baba have expressed deep concern over the singer’s marriage following a series of disturbing videos circulating online.
One of the videos on Tuesday captured a heated exchange between the artiste and Natasha during an Instagram Live session on Monday.
The live session, hosted by media personality, Daddy Freeze, featured members of 2Baba’s former management team discussing stalled international projects when the singer suddenly joined the broadcast.
Moments into his appearance, he was heard confronting Natasha, asking, “What is your problem?”
The situation quickly escalated, with Natasha appearing to attempt to seize the phone as both raised their voices before the session abruptly ended.
The incident came shortly after another viral clip showed the singer being handcuffed and escorted away by police officers in the United Kingdom. The footage, shared by blogger Tosin Silverdam, captured officers speaking with 2Baba outside a retail store before leading him away.
The viral clips have triggered widespread anxiety among fans and industry watchers, many of whom fear the singer may be experiencing a deepening personal and marital crisis.
“You go out there to make your money; even if it’s 100,000 people listening, the money is enough to sustain you,” his former manager, Kaka Igbokwe, said.
He added that the team’s long-term plan was to elevate 2Baba to the level of globally respected African music icons.
“When I started working with 2Baba, my aim was for him to be larger. You can’t compare yourself to Burna Boy, but you can achieve what Angélique Kidjo has done. You can still do arenas,” he said.
Amid the unfolding drama, popular content creator Nasboi penned an emotional note expressing sadness over the singer’s current situation.
He said the recent clips were damaging to the calm, humble image 2Baba had maintained for decades.
“I’ve looked up to you since I was 16. I loved every bit of your music, your personality, and the humility you carried yourself with. In fact, you were one of the people who taught me what it means to be humble. You have had your criticism in the past, but your character and humility still stood tall,” he wrote.
Nasboi added that the version of events being shared online was unfamiliar to “those of us who truly love and respect you,” urging the veteran artiste to take control of the situation.
In a separate live session with Daddy Freeze, a female fan tearfully called on Nigerian men to intervene in 2Baba’s marriage.
“All Nigerian men should please come out and help him out of this,” she said.
“It’s so disheartening seeing my Idol like this,” another fan, August Chris, wrote on X.
On his part, @Abraham_Gidi posted, “Honestly, this is a fact. I still find it hard to believe. I love and respect him from childhood, and it has stayed like that forever. Legend forever.”
Another X user, @ariyiB, said in a video posted on Tuesday, “2Baba should have stayed on his own since he left Annie. He already has enough kids. I am not happy with what I am seeing about him on social media.”
The relationship between 2Baba and Natasha became public shortly after the singer announced the end of his 12-year marriage to Annie Macaulay in January. He later unveiled Natasha as his fiancée and proposed to her publicly on the eve of Valentine’s Day, February 14.
The couple went on to hold a private traditional wedding ceremony in July in Abuja.
