Turning Point Premieres Triumphant at London's O2 Arena - Starring Igoni Archibong and Jackie Appiah
Esther Ademosu for E4 PR
The stars were out in all their splendour
on Wednesday evening, December 12th 2012, at the Indigo O2, London, to mark the Nollywood movie Premiere of Turning Point.
UK and African broadcast media were out
in strong number, capturing what is to become the legacy of the Turning Point premiere.
No more apt a title could have been given
to the movie, as celebrities and a near capacity audience watch with great
determination the turning point so long desired of the Nollywood film industry.
The top notch cast delivered an
unforgettable and polished performance, whilst the technical direction and vision
of producers Niyi Towolawi'sand E4 PR’s
very own Egor Efiok guaranteed that the overall standard of the production oozed
genius and quality!
If you missed it, what on earth were
you thinking (you better have a pretty strong excuse... like your chihuahua broke its
legs – and yes I mean ALL four of
them!)?!!!
Turning Point movie preview:
At one of the biggest Nollywood movie
premieres seen in the UK, Jackie Appiah dazzled on screen and in person, whilst
her on screen husband, Ade (actor, Igoni Archibonghad many’a ladies within the crowd pretty
weak at the knees with some of the more torso-laden scenes. Making his
Nollywood debut in Turning Point, we forecast big things ahead for this amazing
talent – just remember where you heard it first y’all ;D. Jackie Appiah as ever,
did an amazing job in bringing her character, Grace, to life and further kudos to Ghanaian actress Appiah for seriously ‘owning’ the Nigerian accent she sported all so persuasively throughout the movie.
It was also great to see the American
members of the cast shoulder to shoulder with actors from across the Atlantic as
credible peers. Todd Bridges, Ernie Hudson et. al. all displayed such charisma
and conviction in Turning Point which
peppered the movie premiere with a certain edge.
During the Q&A with the cast and director a question was thrown out by one audience member:
“What was the Turning Point...?”
As well as Niyi’s more pragmatic response, I believe the Turning Point in the wider context refers to a complete recalibration of what is deemed quality within Nollywood productions. Based on the quality of the production it was easy to forget that this was not an American effort but very much homemade.
I can’t tell you how refreshing,
enjoyable and downright impressive it is
to watch a Nollywod production, from start to finish, without the irritating
unwelcome cameo appearance of a fuzzy boom-mic, a crew member’s mobile phone
ringing on set, or the undesirable shadow of probably the same crew member (doubly
annoying!! L), who ought to have had an invisible presence... The
list goes on...!
Yet all of these distractions to the storytelling are nowhere
to be found here. If for that reason only, I’d say it was well worth the watch.
But it isn’t the only reason! Watch it at a cinema near you because you’ll be
thoroughly entertained – by good storytelling, incomparable acting, attention
to detail and by a solid, sobering after thought.
Please go out and support the movie, guys n dolls! See it on the big screen to get the
bigger picture ;)

Music Titans tear it up on stage at TOP10MICS, 2012 - photos!!Edited by Esther Ademosu for E4 PR
The 2012 edition of the mother
of all music concerts, TOP10MICS may have come and gone but the positive
aspects of the memorable concert cannot be ignored. The Koga Entertainment
concert brought under one roof, the heavyweights in the industry such as 2face,
Dbanj, Femi Kuti, Sir Shina Peters, DJs Jimmy Jatt and Neptune, BasketMouth and
OAP, Yaw.
The Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos played host to
the concert with several people attending the event with celebrities such as
Rukky Sanda, Uti Nwachukwu, Sunny Neji, Alariwo of Africa, Alex Ekubo, Omawumi,
Waje, Cecil Hammond, Moses Inyang and a host of others.
The performances of Hypertek Honcho, 2face Idibia and
Kokomaster, Dbanj could not be faulted as they gave a performance of their
lives, the duo performed separately to a live band which is quite new in
Nigeria’s entertainment scene. 2baba as he is fondly called performed more than
five tracks back to back as he serenaded the crowd on the night.
Dbanj took everybody by surprise including the organisers as he
came to the show with his friends and brother; Ikechukwu, Naeto C and K Switch
performed alongside Dbanj with Special ED as his hype man. Afrobeat icon, Femi
Kuti and Afro Juju Maestro, Shina Peters didn’t disappoint the audience too
with their live beats which got most of the audience on their feet throughout
the period which they performed.
This year’s concert was an improvement on the maiden edition
which took place at the famous Tafawa Balewa Square. The performances of this
year’s event were more rewarding as the four artistes that came on stage performed
close to an hour each.
The introduction of two top-of-the-class DJs, Jimmy Jatt and
Neptune provided some competition, as one tried to outdo the other, which
ultimately went down well with the audience as they had the opportunity to see
these two top disc jockeys do their thing on stage.
Anu Awoseyi of Koga Entertainment spoke on the success of the
concert,
“We want to thank the esteemed organisations
that supported Koga Entertainment this year, it was great working with them,
they indeed advanced our cause this year. TOP10MICS was a success in all ramifications.
To the producer of the event, Omoh Talabi, we can’t thank you enough. We look
forward to doing more in 2013’’.

Step into a brand new you for 2013, as The Wardrobe brings you Fashion4thought... Edited by Esther Ademosu for E4 PR
Looking good and stylish just
got easier, simpler and even more affordable as one of the most talked about
and patronised fashion stores in Lagos, The Wardrobe, adds a new plus size
women’s range, Big and Beautifulalongside the regular offering.
Situated in the heart of
Allen Avenue, Ikeja, The Wardrobe is gradually becoming the fashion refuge for
many fashionable Nigerians and indeed foreigners as the clothing storeboasts of high quality clothing at
reasonableprices.
With
a factory located in Ikorodu on the outskirt of Lagos, and partnering with
other garment factories internationally,The
Wardrobe is able to do away with the services of the middlemen who make most
clothing items more expensive.
Owned by Towun Awofeso, an industrial
chemist turned garment technologistin a bid to follow her lifelong dream of
making cloths people can buy at affordable rates, theLondon College of Fashion trained
proprietorliaises with
clothing factories in the U.S, Turkey, Hong Kong and the UK. Many celebrities
have now made The Wardrobe a haven of some sort as they are regularly seen
there.
The Wardrobe is widely known as the Groom’s Place,the Lady of The Wardrobe, TowunAwofesowhile having a chat with reporters
said, ‘’Sincerely speaking, I have always heard about the bridal this or bridal
that, nobody really focuses on the groom and his needs, so I decided to explore
this area of interest, that is why if you get to our flagship store on Allen,
it seems we focus more on Groom’s Place, but we are not only about the grooms
as we also cater for the female needs too.”
Towun Awofeso also
commented on the reason why some of her products are relatively affordable,
‘’At The Wardrobe, because we are Designers, we are able to work directly with
factories on our own specifications rather than do buying and selling which
make clothing items expensive. We also have our own clothing label calledCrownprid, aside all these, we
offer our customers after sale services also such as alterations, buttons
replacement and there are warranties on all of our products sold’’.
