Actress Omoni Oboli Breaks Down In Tears As Her Movie Premiere Was Ban Over Copyright Infringement

 

Actress, Omoni Oboli was sometime in September 2016, accused by one Jude Idada of copyright infringement for the movie, Okafors Law. He accused her of using his storyline.
She, however, kept silent and went on to promote and set a release date for the movie for March 31st with the premiere, yesterday, 24th of March, 2017. The matter taken to court for the copyright infringement and trademark violation.

Yesterday, an injunction was gotten for Okafor's Law to prevent its premiere and also the release on the 31st of March. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Defendants in the case, are Omoni Oboli, Dioni Visions & Filmone Distribution. At the premiere, yesterday, the actress broke down in tears.

The Canada based writer, Jude Idada, had accused Omoni Oboli of stealing his story and idea for her new movie "Okafor's Law." He also stated that Oboli copied his idea for her directorial debut, "Being Mrs Elliott."

In 2014, Idada was invited over by the Obolis, who told him about their new project "Okafor's Law." According to Idada, he 'let his guard' down, and shared ideas with Omoni's husband, Nnamdi Oboli. .

They offered him the scripting contract, which he accepted, and after much deliberation charged N750,000. He demanded for a contract.

"I wrote the contract, and I called Nnamdi over the phone. I said 'Nnamdi, I have sent you the contract, let me know when you sign it. He said ok." After a month and a half with no response from them, he gave the script to a friend of his (Chioma), who loved the story. .
.
"In the contract I sent to them, I said to them, Okafor's Law is yours, but the story is mine. If at the end of the day, you don't want to go ahead with the script, I will take everything and give you "Okafor's Law," because that's all you have contributed."
According to him, the Obolis found out about his deal with Chioma, and told people he stole their story. "In 2016, they started shooting. When I read the story, I saw that it was my story. All she did was change the names, but it was essentially my story," Idada said. 

 

#BBNaija: Day 61 Highlights – Housemates Create An Advert For The Effects Of Malaria, The Friday Night Task Games & More!

The Housemates presented their advert for the Pharamatex Malaria Awareness Task, ending it off with giggles.

 
Phamatex’s malaria awareness Task

 

In keeping with the Theme for the week, Big Brother sent in a Brief with some research materials for the Housemates highlighting the effects of malaria in our communities with emphasis on the effects of malaria if left untreated.

The Housemates were Tasked to create an advert that not only emphasizes the repercussions of malaria if left untreated but also focuses on the malaria medicine LumapilForte with emphasis on the correct dosage of this medicine as well as the benefits of getting proper and adequate treatments.

The Housemates quickly got busy bouncing ideas for their advert around with suggestions coming from different Housemates, mindful of the fact that they had to present this advert to Biggie within the next few hours.
They also needed to factor in the fact that LumapilForte is cost effective and affordable. It is effective for both drug resistant and chloroquine-resistant strains of malaria, and it’s simple dosage regimen, makes it very safe for children and pregnant women. The Housemates were to present their advert concept to Big Brother.

Pharmatex Task presentation ends in giggles
The Housemates presented their advert for the Pharamatex Malaria Awareness Task, ending it off with giggles.
Bassey seemingly forgot his lines at the end of the presentation. The other Housemates tried their hardest holding back from bursting out in laughter, as they waited for Biggie’s feedback.
 
Biggie seemed satisfied, seeing as he said; “Housemates, thank you and well done, as usual.” He then told them to go back inside the House.
The presentation was in line with this week’s theme “Nigerian Entertainment Week” and the Housemates had to create an advert to create that not only emphasizes the repercussions of malaria if left untreated but also focused on the malaria medicine, LumapilForte.
Their advert started off with a scene inside a bus, where a woman, played by Marvis, was “schooled” by the other commuters on the malaria medicine, as well as its correct dosage.

Bassey win once again!
Once again, the lion from the rainforest of Cross River State roared, reclaiming the PayPorte Friday Night Arena Games champion title.
Bassey is no stranger to the title, having won a couple of times. Tonight, he breezed through the obstacle courses and recorded a time of 01:02. The Housemates were vying for a vacant title since the defending champion ThinTallTony was Evicted on Sunday.
One of the surprises of the night was Debie-Rise, who for the first time, recorded the fastest time among the ladies. She recorded a time of 01:17, placing her in second place. She beat Marvis, who normally records the highest score among the ladies.
For tonight’s obstacle course, the Housemates had to pick up a ball using one hand, drop it down a pipe and use the same hand to catch it; jump from one block to another; crawl under a net; climb over a net obstacle; climb up and down a slide; climb over and under obstacles and move ping-pong balls along a bar.

In third place was Bally, who still managed to do well, even though he was told to restart the course, while he was crawling under the net. He recorded a time of 01:19.
Here’s the full score record:

At the end of the Games, Biggie congratulated Bassey and asked him to choose one Housemate whom he wanted to share his prize with. He picked TBoss. Biggie promised the two that they would find their prize waiting for them in the House upon their return and indeed Biggie lived up to his promise. They found bottles of alcoholic beverages upstairs before Biggie announced that the Store Room was open, with more alcoholic beverages inside, much to their delight.
The Housemates sat upstairs, chatting and enjoying their drinks for the better part of the evening.

#BBNaija: Day 60 Highlights – Marvis And Efe Get A Divorce As Housemates Starts Shooting For The Short-film & More

Ultimate HoH Efe rallied the troops to the Lounge area for a new Task Brief that Biggie had sent into the House. It was very straight forward and Biggie encouraged the Housemates to continue with their Tasks of shooting a new viral video for the second stage of their Video Shooting Task.

The Brief endeared the Housemates not to relent on their new affinity with the camera, but to seize the opportunity to finish off the new viral video they had earlier conceptualised. With the Brief reading done, the Housemates quickly dispersed to attend to a few personal hygiene issues before the commencement of the Task at hand. 

TBoss and Bisola Chat About Bassey.

The ladies sat back and had a brief chat about Bassey. TBoss whispered to Bisola that Bassey was so shy, that if any girl were to jump on him the way Gifty used to with Bally, he would literally break into tears and run out of the BBNaija House.
It seemed both ladies had been monitoring muscle man Bassey’s shy antics for a while now and they officially dubbed him a shy guy, with TBoss adding quickly that that was the reason why she named him “pepper boy” because once a girl gets close to him he will start blinking his eyes rapidly “like someone that has pepper in his eyes”.

Marfe divorce goes viral
Biggie had tasked the Housemates to make a viral video as part of their Task for the week, and they chose to put a spin off on the wedding ceremony from two weeks ago between Efe and Marvis. They had spent the later part of last night (more like the early hours of the morning) reprising their roles in the wedding and mapping out a directional path to the story which they wanted to tell, the divorce between BBNaija’s favourite couple; Efe and Marvis.

The story line was set three years after the wedding and the couple had been having marital issues triggered by the groom’s infidelity to his wife. The friends of the wife TBoss and Debie-Rise had helped their friend Marvis bring several counts of infidelity against Efe, in the presence of his dad Bally and Marvis’ mom, Bisola.

As the accusations flooded like a broken levee, Efe desperately tried to defend himself citing his blossoming musical career as the reason why there were so many women and scandals surrounding his every move. He was quickly countered by Marvis’ accusations that she had so much proof to show he had been unfaithful to their marriage adding that she had washed several lipstick stains off his boxer shorts several times.

The unsurmountable accusations led to only one final conclusion, divorce.
Budding creatives
Creating three productions back to back is no easy feat! The Housemates spent Monday recording their debut single with Don Jazzy before spending all day yesterday shooting the music video. Today it was all about the viral video and short film. Understandably, the Housemates were defeated and this afternoon, many of them could be seen catching a nap any chance they got, something TBoss even owned up to in her Diary Session.
In spite of the collective lamentations about fatigue, everyone appeared happy and inspired with Marvis summing up the overall mood quite nicely when she called the filmmaking process, “sweet pain.” “You get tired but you want to do it over and over again.”

They also got the chance to hear the finished record today and everyone was singing Don Jazzy’s praises. TBoss said she got very emotional when she heard the finished track while Bassey described the “minor chord” vocals as “angelic”. Even Biggie commended the background, vocal production calling it “bewildering.” The resident musicians, Efe and Debie-Rise felt immense gratitude for the opportunity to work with a living legend and joyful that the song exceeded everyone’s expectations.

The week’s Task has also inspired many of our Housemates to pursue filmmaking seriously. Bassey said he had a new found respect for the high-pressure work that music video directors did and would love to do it outside the House if he could find someone to mentor him. Being an actress, Bisola agreed with her fellow director adding that this was something she’d always wanted to do but hadn’t gotten the opportunity to until now. She went as far as saying she wouldn’t even mind if they lost their wager because the whole experience had been incredibly enlightening.

Bally directed the viral video but revealed that what he’d loved most was handling lighting because he’d always wanted to be a light and sound technician for major productions. TBoss perhaps was the only Housemate who felt a little left out. She had the most important role in the music video and like her peers, she’d loved the whole experience but she seemed to wish she’d been more involved behind the camera and pointed out that she had her own professional equipment back home. That said, she acknowledged that Bassey and Bisola had more professional experience when it came to cinematography.

Defining themselves
Biggie asked the Housemates to pick a colour, number or letter of the alphabet that they felt best represented them today. In that moment, this seemed like a random and light-hearted question but as they began to unpack their thoughts it became clear there was an important lesson to learn. If the final seven wanted to go home with the N25m they had to not only know themselves, but also manage the perceptions the other Housemates had of them.

TBoss went back and forth between the colours white and black before settling with the latter because she felt it goes well with anything which is also a reflection of the kind of person she is. She noted however that like the colour black she was mysterious and dark in the sense that she was only joyful and positive when she felt like it. She said several Housemates had pointed this out to her.

Bisola picked the colour blue because it reminded her of the sky, the sight of which was connected to so many happy memories of hers. However, like the sky she said she could be calm and serene one moment then stormy and turbulent the next. Debie-Rise, who was absolutely beaming in her Diary Session, said that the colour yellow best encapsulated her personality traits. “Happy”, “warm”, and “loud” enough to be memorable without being “shouty”.

Marvis got asked for a number and she went with five because it was her lucky number. So though it was “odd” it always “evened” things out in her life. She laughed hysterically as she further explained that, like the number five, she too was “odd” and her fellow Housemates probably wondered what planet she was from. Bassey went with number four as April was his birth month and Efe settled on number seven arguing that it had been a special and lucky number for him since he was a child.

Closing things off was Bally who picked “B” as the letter he was all about. His name and surname both start with the symbol and he said it was his blood-type too. He then singled out words starting with this consonant like “brave” and “bass” calling them good representation of what made him Bally.
