Posted: 11 Sep 2020 10:30 PM PDT

On September 10, 2020, Nigerian rap legend, MI Abaga took to his Twitter page to tweet two words, "Rendezous 2."

Rendezvous 2 would mark a third serialized project concept in Abaga's career.

In 2020, Abaga has already released two bodies of work; Judah EP and The Live Report - a collaborative EP with 100 Crowns boss, AQ. Rendezvous 2 would mark an unprecedented third release of the year from a rap legend who is about to his his 40's.

You might remember that...

On February 9, 2020, MI Abaga released the critically-acclaimed 15-track playlist, Rendezvous. It featured some of Nigeria's most impressive emerging acts as well as some established acts across the country and the African continent.

It also housed a diverse range of styles. The album also came off the back of Abaga's transition into an elder statesman and kingmaker in Nigerian music.

Rendezvous 2 would mark a third serialized project concept in Abaga's career. The first was the classic trilogy, Illegal Music - which Abaga keeps claiming has run its course, to the chagrin of fans. The second is Yxng Dxnzl which has only seen one volume, but is due two other volumes; A Study of Society and A Study of Governance. 

7 things you didn't know about Adesua Etomi-Wellington

Posted: 11 Sep 2020 10:00 PM PDT

Nollywood screen goddess, Adesua Etomi, is the subject of Know Your Celebrities this week.

Did you know that Adesua Etomi sang in a church choir for 10 years?

In this column, some unknown facts about a celebrity are highlighted.

Etomi needs no introduction as she has over the last few years, become one of the most sought after actresses in the industry. We think everyone in the country might know all about the gorgeous actress.

However, Pulse has been able to squeeze out some more interesting facts that you may not know about her.

Left-handed


There is a belief that most people who are left-handed are not just like regular folks. For many, this special group of people always end up becoming great and important figures in the world. We have past and serving world leaders in this category.

Well, Etomi is a proud leftie

Plans to open an orphanage home

It is common among celebrities to set up foundations to help the less privileged in the society.

Etomi believes she is going to be a mother to many kids. During an exclusive interview with The Guardian newspaper in 2017, she revealed that she was going to set up an orphanage home within 10 years.

It is common among celebrities to set up foundations to help the less privileged in the society.

Etomi believes she is going to be a mother to many kids. During an exclusive interview with The Guardian newspaper in 2017, she revealed that she was going to set up an orphanage home within 10 years.

"At some point, my ten-year plan, maybe even less, is to open an orphanage, I love children and I am very passionate about people and children that need help, so I feel like I am going to be a mum to many."

Quit job in the UK for Nollywood


The list of celebrities who left their successful 9-5 jobs to pursue their passion around the world is endless.

She left her job in the United Kingdom for Nigeria to pursue her dream; "I can't explain it—I felt I had to go back to Nigeria," she said during an interview. Well, to her fans, that was probably one of the best decisions she made in life.

First-class graduate

If Etomi was to apply for a job at any production company, her résumé would definitely blow the minds of the interview panel.

She obtained a diploma in "Physical theatre, Musical theatre and Performing arts" from City College Coventry in 2004. After completing these courses in 2006 with triple distinctions, she studied Drama and Performance at the University of Wolverhampton, graduating with first-class honours.

A former ballet and gymnastics student.


The actress says she used to take ballet and gymnastics classes back in school.

In an interview back in 2017, Etomi said she wished she had taken those classes more seriously. Who knows...maybe she would have represented the country at one of the Olympics.

She sang in the church choir for 10 years


It is safe to say Etomi is not just good at her craft but a multi-talented celebrity. It is no news that the gorgeous actress has a very soothing voice as we've seen her perform alongside husband, Banky W.

Interestingly, Etomi's music talent didn't just start as she starting singing from a tender age. According to her, she sang at a church choir for ten years.

Voice over artist


We are so sure many people aren't aware of the fact that the AMVCA winner is also a voice-over artist. She has worked with several multinationals and brands where her voice-over expertise has been put to use...more money in the bank!

Posted: 11 Sep 2020 06:00 AM PDT

Big Brother Africa winner, Uti Nwachukwu has penned a long note of apology to BBNaija season 4 star, Tacha and her passionate fans.

Uti who was one of the many that ran Tacha down when she was disqualified from the season 4 of the reality show was on, has taken to his Instagram page to rendered his heartfelt apology to former Big Brother Naija housemate, Tacha for his actions.

Uti's disposition comes after 2020 BBNaija housemate, Erica Nweledim was disqualified from the house over various misconduct amid defiance of house rules and this has sparked mixed reactions from Nigerians.

Uti apologized to Tacha for using harsh and mean words on her although her fans provoked him because they were upset.

According to the Delta State-born actor and Master of Ceremony, he now understands what Tacha went through some time ago after her disqualification.

His letter cited on Kemi Filani news reads,

" "You will never understand till it happens to you" – popular saying

•I will never be too proud to acknowledge my personal epiphanies and when it's time to actually obey ur conscience which I always say is your spirit. Call it karma call it a wake up call. But you always have to listen to that voice inside

•Recent events have triggered memories from last year's #bbnaija When another housemate was disqualified.

Let's just say, now I know how it feels for her and her fans.•

Most importantly, I am deeply regretful for the harsh words I tweeted when I felt provoked by her passionate FANS who were upset

•It was not fair to her as she had PERSONALLY not done anything to ME. My reactions to the insults were totally wrong and not inspired from a place of Love which I always champion.

How others treat us is no fault of ours. But how we respond/ REACT is fully up to us. •

An eye for an eye leaves the world Blind (I'm still learning this one sha cos sometimes the spirit of Gbas gbos is tooo strong lol)
I'm also someone that says, don't insult me in public and then come and apologise privately.
So symply_tacha I am extremely sorry for the mean tweets I responded with last year.

Please accept my deepest apologies.

I can't imagine what you must have gone thru and still go thru on a daily basis. All I can say is your tenacity is admirable

To the Titans.

Na Una come for me o! Lol *jokes*.I whole heartedly forgive you all for any and everything u guys said or did. But more than anything else, I am also sorry for the way I addressed you guys.Our fight don reach one year o lol. So make we hug an out.

•I am officially extending the olive branch to you guys and saying I am sorry.Trust me when I say I NOW KNOW HOW U GUYS FELT and FEEL.

I'm not justifying anything from anyone but as Public Personalities we have to actually practice what we preach and tho we may fall a few times, we owe it to our followers to get up and inspire them by doing the right thing•

Let love TRULY lead. And let's be compassionate.

As Ephesians 4:31-32 says : Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

Filmmaker, Jade Osiberu – Feminism is not about women’s rights to toxic behavior without consequences

Posted: 11 Sep 2020 05:30 AM PDT

Nollywood filmmaker, Jade Osiberu has given her own opinion of what "feminism is not about".

According to the filmmaker, feminism is not about women's rights to toxic behavior without consequences.

Jade Osiberu who averred that trash behavior should be addressed regardless of gender, added that matching dysfunction and toxicity is a personal war and not feminism.

She tweeted;


What feminism is NOT about: women's rights to toxic behavior without consequences. Trash behavior should be addressed regardless of gender.

There's evidently a Twitter camp for whom logic is a challenge. Equality in opportunities and human dignity is what feminism is about. Trying to match dysfunction and toxicity is your personal war not feminism. You cannot become the problem you are trying to solve.
