WOW!! Nigerian Lady Wins First Ever MTV EMA Generation Change Award [Photo]

A Nigerian lady and a mental health activist, Hauwa Ojeifo, 26, won the first-ever MTV EMA Generation Change award.

Hauwa who was nominated alongside a 21-year old Afghanistan, Sonita Alizadeh; 17 year old Lebanese, Mohamad Aljounde; 20 year old Briton, Ellen Jones and 18 year old Xiuhtezcatl “X” Martinez in the category, was unable to attend the event held at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre, on Sunday, in Bilbao, Spain, as she could not secure a Schengen Visa.

The MTV EMA Generation Change Award was created to elevate and empower the fearless, original young people who are changing the world, and it was gathered that the Nigerian lady whose works’ border on mental health especially for women, was identified as a vibrant voice in creating awareness for mental health in Nigeria.

Hauwa Ojeifo who in June was chosen alongside two other Nigerians, Isaac Ezirim and Kennedy Ekezie Joseph to receive the first-ever Queen’s Young Leaders award, is the founder of ‘She Writes Woman’ and ‘Safe Place’, the first 24/7 mental health crisis helpline and the first anonymous women-only mental health support group in Nigeria.

‘She Writes Woman’ was birthed after she was diagnosed with bipolar and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) coupled with psychosis and suicidal idealizations.

Mr Joromi : Female fans want me to carry them as I did Simi

Below is the excerpt from the interview of Abubakar Joseph Momodu ‘Mr JOROMI’, a Delta State University graduate with Emmanuel Okogba.

Can we meet you?
Of course you can meet me all the time except for negative reasons (laughs). My name is Abubakar Joseph Momodu, I hail from Etsako-west, Agbede, Edo State. I was born into the royal family of Oba Momodu II of Agbede as a Muslim but now a committed Christian.

Why entertainment? Was yours a case of knowing from childhood that you will be an entertainer?

Yeah, in this regard I’m certain it’s my calling. The drive was from childhood, without no formal training or taking it as a course of study. I made my debut as an actor as young as 7years old, on stage at our church then, Holyghost Intercessory prayer ministry. From that moment onwards the audience kept yearning for my presence on stage and gradually it became a second part of me, my second half acting.

You have earned for yourself the sobriquet ‘Mr Joromi’, thanks to that Simi’s hit. Share with us how you met Simi and how you landed that role

Mr Joromi as I’m fondly called now in the industry is one of the greatest things that happened to me and my career in the year 2017. While I will forever be grateful to Simi for writing such an impeccable song in the first place, I also feel the whole thing was divinity at work. Several modeling agents submitted pictures of their best male models that could fit the same role, guys that had better looks and stature than me but God Almighty in His infinite mercy decided that this emblem Mr joromi befits the model called Joseph. And by His grace I was the most preferred among a large number of premium models in Lagos.

Aside being a model, you are also an actor. How has the experience been for you, meeting with and being on the same set with people you used to watch before now on TV?

Hmm…I must say categorically that it’s somehow. Though sometimes I just shrug inside me and this confidence overtakes me and I see them as the same level with me, that feeling helps me act better and be myself, while in another regard I become star-struck and it affects my acting, confidence and delivery. This largely depends on the particular star in question and is more prominent to our A list actors but after maybe my first scene with them everything just becomes normal to me and I begin to flow as if I have known or been colleagues with the person for ages.

Tell us about your first movie role in Nollywood and what the experience was like

Hmm…Love and Sacrifice as the movie was titled then, produced by one Highcallings Multimedia where I played a sub lead role Ikenga. The project was actually an eye opener for me, despite all the efforts and stress involved it never came out. I lost my 200L school fees to this project, actors were practically feeding themselves on the set and when they mistakenly made provision for food, it’s as good as eating poison. Though in another regard the project helped me build my strength on acting. After that project, I played a prominent role in what was my debut project into Nollywood, a series called Civilian Barracks by Mega Creations. What is the most challenging role(if any) you have taken up and why? Playing the character of a cross dresser in a web series called Inspector K by Suss production and Redtv. I actually took up the role for two reasons…first because of the money and secondly to be more flexible in terms of versatility.

What do you think of the Nigerian movie industry (Nollywood). Does the emergence of cinema quality movies mean it is getting closer to attaining the ‘Hollywood’ status?

Infact our movie industry has metamorphosed to a point where our content is now appreciated globally…thanks to the cinematic intervention. Our actors here now feature more often on international gigs, our storylines now have both foreign and local appeal, multinational companies now seek to collaborate with our producers down here to produce. All these were not forthcoming until the cinema emerged.

Has your family always been supportive of your choice of going into acting and how have you coped with the fame especially with female fans?

Yes of course, my family has shown maximum support in all ramifications, right from the cradle of my career till date. Both financially and spiritually. As for the fame and female fans I must admit at this point that it’s not easy, mainly because, the aggregate of my fans are female as a result of the Joromi video and that particular basketball scene. They love the way I carried Simi, they perceive it as if I may be able to carry every other girl (laughs). Then again the fame thing is one hell of an unending task, you must look good all the time and be in the right mood to take pictures with people no matter where you are or what you are doing, they will surely come through. People reading this, especially the females who want to ‘shoot their shot’, I believe will want to know if you are in a relationship or searching I think at this point the shots should stop coming biko except if it’s business wise obviously (laughs). I’m in a serious relationship and still searching, I mean searching for money to seal up everything. How then does your partner cope with the attention you get from female fans? She’s still coping (laughs)…it’s not easy for her I must say. At some point she becomes jealous while most times she claims she understands. You know girls and their shenanigans while taking pictures or expressing compliments to a public figure. Are you working on any project now and what should we expect from you this year? I’m actually working on two projects. The first is the star studded cinema movie Big Fat Lie directed and produced by Darasen Richards and the second is On My Honour produced by Kingsley Omoefe and directed by Samuel Ogunbiyi DGN, plus other underground projects I will not like to mention until due season.

A word of advice to those who want to join the entertainment industry?

Let it be known from the inside of them that the journey is indeed going to be a tough one, such that only the strong, diligent and consistent makes it to the top no matter what. Of course professionalism is indispensable to their success. They must also embrace God. He’s the only true reliable source not man.

800,000 women suffered from Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) annually in Nigeria

The United Nations Fund for
Population Activities (UNFPA) on
Saturday said about 800,000
women suffered from Vesico
Vaginal Fistula (VVF) annually in
Nigeria.
The Country Representative of
the fund in Nigeria, Ratidzai
Ndhlovu, disclosed this at the
graduation of 100 rehabilitated
women living with obstetric
Fistula in Sokoto.
Ndhlovu, represented by Dr Audu
Alayande, Assistant Country
Representative, Reproductive
Health, said one in every 10
women suffered from this
condition following childbirth.
Ndhlovu, who donated assorted
empowerment materials worth
N2.3 million to the graduands,
said most women who
developed fistula had probably
given birth at home with no
assistance from skilled birth
attendant.
“For this group of women,
everyday, they must cope with
the foul smell emanating from
their leaking urine and faeces,”
she added.
She lamented that most of the
affected women often lose their
babies following child birth
process.
“In the same vein, these women
down with VVF were often
abandoned by their husbands,
stigmatized by families and
communities, and later
ostracized.”
She said the graduands had
received a two-month training in
sewing and knitting, petty
trading and grinding machines
operations, among others.
She said the items given to them
would help them to be
productive and useful to
themselves.
“This gesture is aimed at helping
their reintegration process back
into the society and reduce their

stigmatization,” Ndhlovu said.
The Permanent Secretary, state
ministry for Women and Children
Affairs, Suleiman Sarkin-Fulani,
commended UNFPA for the
gesture.
Mr. Sarkin-Fulani said the state
government had staffed and
equipped Maryam Abacha
Hospital, which hosts VVF Centre
to enable it take care of its
patients.
He appealed to other donor
agencies, partner organizations
and wealthy individuals to assist
in treating and rehabilitating VVF
patients.
Musa Isa, the Executive Director,
Nigeria Fistula Foundation, urged
the beneficiaries to desist from
selling the items given to them.
One of the graduands, Balki
Saidu, commended the fund for
rescuing them from the
“shackles of poverty”.

Saturated fat is not that bad for your health but trans fat is awful

New study in medical science found that saturated fats found in meat and dairy produce are not as awful for wellbeing as beforehand known.

A noteworthy study into the health
ramifications of dietary fats has

neglected to discover a connection between sustenance containing saturated fats, such
as eggs, chocolate and cream, and death from coronary illness, stroke or type 2 diabetes.

The study in any case did find that mechanically created “trans- fats” produced using hydrogenated
oils, and once utilized as a part of margarine, nibble nourishments and bundled prepared
nourishments, for example, a few cakes and crisps, are connected with a more prominent
danger of death from coronary heart infection.
This is also confirmed by most recent discoveries, distributed in the British Medical Journal, by Russell de Souza of McMaster
College in Hamilton, Ontario.

Regardless of the inability to build up a
connection between the danger between saturated fat and sudden death from eating sustenances containing saturated fats, Dr de Souza
cautioned against taking these
discoveries as a green light to eat more dairy sustenances, meat, eggs and milk chocolate.

Meaning of congestive heart failure

Congestive heart failure is a condition, where poor heart capacity causes liquid
and blood to move down in the substantial veins of the body can bring about liver swelling and aggravation.

Typically, bile streams from the liver into the gallbladder and at last into the digestive system to help with the processing of sustenance.

On the off chance that bile stream is discouraged, it can

cause irritation inside of the liver. Most normally, gallstones
can bring about a check of the pipes that empties bile out of the liver.

Variations from the norm of the opening of the bile pipe into the little digestive system (sphincter of Oddi) can lead to variations from the norm of bile stream.

The sphincter of Oddi goes about as a “valve” that permits bile to stream from the regular bile pipe into the digestive system.

Essential biliary cirrhosis and essential sclerosing cholangitis
can prompt dynamic scarring of the bile pipes, making them
ended up slender, which brings about
diminished bile move through the liver. In the end, harm and
scarring of the liver construction modeling
happens bringing about liver malfunctioning or failure.
