The celebrated actress recounted that when they both started out, they were simply two passionate young women with dreams, unaware of how far Nollywood would grow or the global impact it would achieve.

“When we started in Nollywood all those years ago, we were just passionate girls with a dream,” Dominic wrote. “We had no idea the incredible journey ahead or how our industry would grow to touch the entire world. To look around today and see how far we’ve come… It fills my heart with pride. No matter what, we did not walk alone.”

Dominic has now spent 27 years in the industry, while Nnaji has clocked 26 years — milestones that reflect their talent, consistency, and unwavering dedication to the craft.

In a separate development, fellow Nollywood actress Biodun Okeowo, popularly known as Omoborty, has commented on ongoing conversations about marriage and relationships. According to reports, Okeowo stated on Instagram that the number of years spent in marriage does not necessarily prevent some men from taking another wife.

She advised women to prioritize peace of mind over societal expectations, emphasizing that staying in a troubled union to satisfy public opinion is not worth the emotional toll. While acknowledging that some men fail to honor their vows, she noted that others remain faithful and intentional in their commitments.

Okeowo added that marriage is not measured by its duration alone but by grace, urging women to value their well-being above external pressure.

Following the Netherlands’ elimination from the FIFA World Cup, 63-year-old Ronald Koeman has resigned as the national team manager. The team was knocked out by Morocco in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in Monterrey.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

  • Online Abuse: On the same day as Koeman’s resignation, the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) reported that players Justin Kluivert, Quinten Timber, and Crysencio Summerville were subjected to racist and hateful messages on social media after missing their penalties.

  • KNVB Stance: The KNVB condemned the abuse as “appalling,” stating that it contradicts the values of football.

  • Koeman’s Departure: Reflecting on his career and the team’s failed World Cup campaign, Koeman expressed pride in his experiences but noted that his perspective on life has shifted. He suggested he might retire from management, noting that his wife, Bartina, is currently receiving treatment for breast cancer.

ADC on Fire: Mark Aregbesola Vows To Block Fresh Court Action In High-Stakes Power Struggle!.

Published

on

The leadership dispute within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has intensified as National Chairman Senator David Mark and National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola have formally opposed a request by party chieftain Nafiu Bala Gombe to amend his claims in the ongoing lawsuit.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Key points regarding the legal standoff include:

  • Proposed Amendment: Gombe, the former Deputy National Chairman, is seeking to amend his originating summons for the third time, arguing that he is legally entitled to update his claims prior to a final judgment.

  • Opposition by Leadership:

    • Senator Mark’s legal team argued that the amendment is being sought after the defense has already been filed, asserting that granting it would provide the plaintiff an unfair advantage and result in a miscarriage of justice.

    • Rauf Aregbesola’s counsel contended that the amendments alter the fundamental character of the case and characterized the request as an act of bad faith, noting that it follows a Supreme Court order for an accelerated hearing.

    • Aregbesola further challenged Gombe’s reliance on a newly introduced signed copy of the ADC Constitution, arguing that the original suit was based on an unsigned version.

  • Defense of Legitimacy: Aregbesola maintained that the current leadership is legitimate, citing that the National Executive Committee (NEC) approved the changes on July 29, 2025, with due notice provided to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on July 1.

  • Next Steps: Justice Lifu has adjourned the matter until July 7, when he is scheduled to rule on whether the plaintiff will be permitted to amend his suit, which aims to restrain Mark and Aregbesola from acting as the party’s leaders.
