79 hearty cheers to one of the living fathers of Nollywood, Chief Pete Edochie.

Wishing you, Sir, more blessings and more glorious years in good health and fulfilled dreams

This is the most talented child actor that Nollywood has seen. Princess Izuchukwu is a raw, untapped talent, and I must commend her parents. Her father, especially, for the great work he is doing, drilling the little girl into the wonder of art she is becoming.

This is not something I can do or would want to do, but when I see a parent who has the courage to throw their child into the limelight, I envy them. But, Princess is not just a child, she is a prodigy.

When I heard about her and watched a few films she had done, I had to suspend plans on two previous scripts I wanted to shoot and wrote two fresh scripts so that I could write the few days she was free to work with her, and it's actually a great decision, because the little girl is a delight to work with.

I think Nollywood has great Oscars potentials in her, especially, given the kind of intentionality I see in his father, to raise her into not just a perfect artiste, but also a well- nurtured and disciplined human being.

Chief Pete Edochie, the well-loved Nollywood veteran and father of popular actor, Yul Edochie, is alive, Hale and hearty, according to his sons, who responded to unfounded rumours of the septuagenarian's demise.

Yul Edochie declared that his beloved Dad is not only alive, but will live to reach the ripe age of 100, as he is a very good man, and a responsible father. We say Amen to Yul's prayers and pray for long life and good health for our beloved Ogadagidi

Happy birthday to Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, one of the most beautiful divas to grace our screens.

She is 48 today and she is still young, fresh, firm, famous and sumptuous.

Wishing her all the best in her new age.
