My husband feels good when other men admire me – Omoni Oboli
Popular
Nollywood actress, Omoni Oboli, turns heads whenever she steps out on
the red carpet. The pretty actress told Saturday Beats that she believes
her husband feels proud when she steps out and people admire her.
She
said, “My husband feels good when I step out for a red carpet event and
other men admire me. Everyone likes to show off something that they
like and something they think is beautiful. I think it is a good feeling
for him.”
Having been a chorister in the past, music is a familiar terrain for her.
“I’m not saying I will go into singing, but never say never; I was in the choir when I was growing up,” she said.
She
told Saturday Beats that although she maintains a tight schedule, she
cooks for her husband as often as she can but not every night.
The
actress said, “My husband is very supportive so it makes life a lot
easier for me. I try to give my family quality time when I have time. I
cook for my husband often; of course not every night. I do so most times
when I’m around and he wants something special. We have somebody who
cooks for us. I wouldn’t deny that. If he wants something special, then
I’ll prepare it. If I feel I need to do something special for them. I
like to bake for them a lot. So I do that often.”
A
representative of Enough is Enough Nigeria, an NGO aimed at getting a
positive change in the country, Oboli decalred that she would use her
status to sensitise people to the power of their vote.
“I
think Nigeria is a great country with a lot of potential, I represent
Nigeria. My role in representing Enough is Enough is to use the goodwill
that I have gathered from people who believe in me to make sure that
when the time comes to get together and vote for a leader, we will
actually go out to vote. Last year, what we did was to have a massive
campaign to tell people to vote.
“You
want a better leader and you are not doing anything about it. You have
to come out, make sure you vote and when you do, you have to protect you
vote, stay and wait for it to be counted so that you will know that
your vote counts. That is my role in this,” she said.
Going
down memory lane, she told Saturday Beats that her first kiss scene in a
movie was with dark-skinned actor, Desmond Elliot. She stated that she
did not feel uneasy doing so as they were both professionals.
The
delectable actress also described Figurine as one movie she would not
forget acting in a hurry. It remains the most stressful movie she has
done so far, according to Omoni.
“My
first kiss movie was in Unfinished Business and that was in 2007 or
2008, I am not sure. It was okay. It was with Desmond Elliot. It was
make-believe so there was nothing to feel uneasy about. We are both
actors, so we both know what we are doing. The viewers saw it and
thought it was amazing and that is the most important thing.
“Figurine
got me dirty; I was dragged down the stairs. It wasn’t easy. The
Figurine shoot is one of the most tedious I have ever had. It was the
most stressful shoot I have ever had. The high budget was mostly the
technical part of it, but the shoot itself was so stressful, it was
unbelievable,” she said.
FG May Declare State Of Emergency In Borno, Yobe, Others
Indications emerged on Friday that the
Federal Government might declare a state of emergency in five states in
Northern Nigeria, as a last-ditch measure to check the rising killings
and insecurity.
The states are Borno, Yobe, Nasarawa, Benue and Plateau.
A pointer to this emerged as President Goodluck Jonathan held an emergency meeting with security chiefs and some other top government officials in his bid to address the spate of insecurity in many parts of the country, with the latest being the killing of 47 policemen and 10 State Security Service operatives by the Ombatse militia in Alakyo forest in Nasarawa State on Tuesday.
They also destroyed nine patrol vans.
Jonathan, who rushed back to the country from South Africa late on Thursday, was said to have reviewed reports from the security chiefs on recent violence in Baga and Bama in Borno State; Alakyo Village in Nasarawa State; and Agatu Local Government Area of Benue State.
Among those at the meeting that lasted several hours were the Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Ola Said; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Dele Ezeoba; Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal Alex Badeh; Director-General of State Security Service, Ita Ekpenyong; representative of the Chief of Army Staff, Maj-Gen. Emmanuel Bassey; and Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar.
The IG wore a black arm band to the meeting as a sign of mourning for the slain policemen.
Others at the meeting were the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.); Minister of Police Affairs, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade (retd.); Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim; and the Chief of Staff to the President, Chief Mike Oghiadomhe.
At a point, Olubolade, Anyim and Oghiadomhe stepped out of the venue wearing gloomy looks while Jonathan and the security chiefs continued with the discussions.
By the time the meeting finally ended, none of the government or security officials was willing to speak with journalists.
They also shielded Abubakar from journalists who sought an interview with him on the killing of the policemen.
He simply described the killing as “a sad development.”
A source at the meeting however described it as “a stormy session.”
The source said “far-reaching decisions,” some of which would be made public soon, and others which would be kept under wraps for security reasons were taken at the meeting.
Olubolade, who was moved to tears, managed to answer reporters’ questions on the murder of policemen.
•State of emergency
Asked to confirm speculations that government was considering the imposition of a state of emergency in some states, he said, “That is not within my purview. They (security chiefs) have the right to call for whatever they want. At the end of the day, the President will take a decision.
“It was an emergency security meeting at the instance of Mr. President. He had to cut his journey short because of insecurity and loss of lives; he was supposed to have been in Namibia. So, he summoned the security agencies to have a quick meeting with us and as you can see, they are still there. The Chief of Defence Staff and other service chiefs are still with him.
“He is looking at how we can put an end to all these troubles we are having and I think that at the end of that deliberation, you will get to know the outcome.”
He advised policemen against revenge, saying such would not help the nation.
“The security agencies particularly the police will not want to go and revenge. It is not going to help us because they are supposed to protect lives and property. Going to revenge will not douse tension. It will bring about a lack of confidence in the system. So, we will strictly discourage that,” he said.
On the allegation that policemen killed nine of the Ombatse cult members in Nasarawa State first before they retaliated, the minister said, “I wouldn’t know what is true about that. All I know is that the police have a duty to perform and as such, they must not be afraid, they must be equipped, they must be trained, they must do their job because they are under instructions. The police will not just wake up and pick their leaders if nothing has gone wrong.
“The populace must know that anybody can be brought in by the police for interrogation depending on the intelligence the police get; and that is what happens elsewhere.”
Meanwhile, security sources said on Friday that government was considering the military option to dislodge members of the Ombatse cult from their hideout in Alakyo forest in Nasarawa State.
This follows the inability of the police and SSS to accomplish the task.

His wife was also invited and bore witness against him, insisting that she was at the scene when Amun assaulted Okechukwu.
She further explained to policemen that she and Amun had separated since 1991, after which Amun married another woman and has had four children and lived at Maryland with his new family. The wife said that she believed that Amun had moved on, so also had she.
She however said that she did not know why Amun was suddenly interested in her affairs after years apart.
Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, Ngozi Braide, who confirmed the incident, said that Amun assaulted Okechukwu on the street and tore his clothes.
Braide said that Okechukwu claimed that in the process of the attack, he was dispossessed of his N40,000 and a wrist watch.

Banned! Lagos Stops ‘Keke’ Operation On Major Roads!!
Lagos State government on Friday banned the activities of commercial Tricycles, popularly called Keke Napep from major roads in the state, saying, “it is meant to protect the lives and property of the residents of the state.”
Speaking at the 2013 Ministerial Press Briefing held in Alausa to mark the sixth anniversary of Governor Babatunde Fashola’s administration, Commissioner for transportation, Mr. Kayode Opeifa said the state government had held several meetings with the unions on the development, and “they have agreed to stay away from these roads.”
Some of the roads tricycle operation was outlawed are; all roads in Victoria Island, Government Residential Area, GRA Ikeja and Ikoyi. Also on Awolowo road and Awolowo way, Alausa and all major roads in Surulere Local Government.
The commissioner warned that tricycles are not replacements for motorcycle, popularly called Okada, in the state, as he said “it isn’t a sustainable means of transport for the state especially Lagos that is a megacity.”
“I learnt that some Okada riders have began to sell their motorcycle to by tricycle but they can no longer operate on these major roads again.”
The commissioner explained that section 3 of the 2012 Lagos road traffic law also outlawed the operation of the tricycle in the state.
The road traffic bill was signed into law last year by Governor Babatunde Fashola, a law aimed at improving safety on the Lagos roads.
Now that the state has enough Bus Rapid Transport, BRT and LAGBUS buses, as well as taxis on these roads, the tricycle won’t be needed anymore, Opeifa stated.
The state government has also vowed to impound any disused and abandoned vehicles across the state, as the commissioner explained that “4,632 vehicles were currently abandoned on over 9,100 roads in the State.”
“They constitute threat security of lives and property in the state.”
According to him, “While we are proud to improve on information of the removal of over 4,300 abandoned and disused vehicles from Lagos roads, it is saddening that recent survey by the CDA/CDC’s under the supervision of the Ministry of Rural Development have again in the last 3 month identify another 4,632 vehicles abandoned on over 9,100 roads in Lagos State.”
“These vehicles are veritable tools for hoodlums, miscreants, armed robbers and other forms of social vices. So also they pose health risk. We will not relent on enforcement.”
“To spare part dealers vehicle/Auto sales dealers please be advised as vehicles illegally displayed on road setback will be treated as abandoned/disused vehicle,” Opeifa said.
To this end, “we have instructed officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA and Vehicle Inspection Service, VIS, to immediately begin to impound any abandoned or disused cars in the state.”
