Enioluwa On Inhumane Treatment Of Crossdresser | Fab.ng

Enioluwa Adeoluwa, a social media influencer and public figure, has spoken out against the harassment of a crossdresser captured in a viral video on social media.

In the video, bystanders were seen assaulting the crossdresser, with one individual even using a plank to strike them. Enioluwa expressed his disapproval of the incident on his official X page, describing it as “inhumane and unjust.”

He emphasised that individuals should not be subjected to violence or harassment based on their choices or sexual orientation. Enioluwa urged the public to respect people’s decisions and advocated for a world where everyone can live without fear of such mistreatment.

He wrote,

“It is inhumane, it is unjust, and it is unkind to pick up a plank and hit another human because you do not agree with their choices or sexual orientation. Leave people alone. Everyone deserves to live their life without the fear of violence or harassment and, most notably, physical violence. Even if we don’t agree with someone’s choices, we must resist the urge to inflict harm. It’s hypocritical to speak up against oppression while we remain oppressors.”

In a separate post, Adeoluwa encouraged the public to adhere to “lawful process” instead of resorting to vigilante justice.

He continued,

“You can decide to misconstrue what I have said, but regardless of our personal beliefs or preferences, justice should never be selective. Once it is, then it simply does not exist. We cannot resort to violence or harm against others simply because we disagree with their choices or lifestyles. Just as we would report illegal activities to the authorities, we must uphold the principle of due process and refrain from taking justice into our own hands. We must reject the notion that violence is justified based on our perceptions of stereotypes and misconceptions. Disputes should and must be resolved through lawful means.”

In April 2022, a new law was proposed in Nigeria that would make it illegal for people to cross-dress. This proposal came as an amendment to an existing law against same-sex marriage. Muda Umar, a member of the House of Representatives, introduced the amendment.

If the amendment had been passed, anyone caught cross-dressing could have been sentenced to up to six months in jail. However, the amendment was not successful, and cross-dressing is not currently illegal in Nigeria.

Mr. Macaroni Says He's Not In For A Relationship | Fab.ng

In a recent interview on WAZOBIA FM, Nigerian comedian and actor Mr. Macaroni revealed his current relationship status. While Mr. Macaroni admitted that he admires someone special, he also shared that he’s chosen to stay single for now.

The reason behind his decision? He jokingly referred to “chopping breakfast,” and it seems he’s not quite ready for that kind of emotional rollercoaster.

He started,

“My love life is in a state of hullabaloo. It’s topsy-turvy. I cannot speak for the women who may be eyeing me but I can speak for myself. I have someone that I admire. I have been very single for the most part of my life and right now I’m not looking for relationships, marriage or anything that involves a love affair because I’m not ready to chop breakfast.”

The radio host took a turn in the conversation, asking Mr. Macaroni if his single relationship status might have been a driving force behind his achievements. Perhaps the focus on his career without the added demands of a relationship allowed him to excel.

However, Mr. Macaroni politely disagreed. He indicated that being single wasn’t a major factor in his success, suggesting that his drive and talent likely played a bigger role.

“I disagree with the notion that being in a relationship might have made my rise to success slower. Even though I say I don’t want to have a relationship, I still have one or two people that I talk to that keep me going. So I would never downplay the essence of companionship,” he said.

"The Man Died" Film Adaptation Set For Release In July | Fab.ng

There’s a new movie coming out in July to celebrate the 90th birthday of famous Nigerian writer Wole Soyinka. The movie is called “The Man Died.” It’s based on Soyinka’s book about his experiences as a political prisoner during the Nigerian Civil War in the late 1960s.

The movie stars Nollywood actor Wale Ojo as Wole Soyinka. Awam Amkpa directed the film and announced the July release date on Instagram on May 2.

Wole Soyinka wrote the book, which is a memoir, in 1972, just two years after the war ended.

He’s a very important figure in African literature. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986, making him the first Sub-Saharan African to receive the award. Last year, on Soyinka’s 89th birthday, Wale Ojo called him a “rare icon.”

“Akinwande Oluwole Babatunde Soyinka is 89 years old today. Love him OR hate him HE has earned his place amongst the G. O. A. T. of this universe!” the 55-year-old posted on Instagram.

The film adaptation of “The Man Died” boasts a stellar cast of Nollywood luminaries. They include actors like Chidi Mokeme, Sam Dede, Norbert Young, Francis Onwochei, Edmond Enabe, and Segilola Ogidan.

Additionally, the ensemble features rising talents. They include Simileoluwa Hassan, Christiana Oshunniyi, and the newcomer Abraham Amkpa, each of whom brings their unique flair to the project. Filmmaker Femi Odugbemi spearheaded the production, while writer Bode Asiyanbi penned the screenplay.

Scheduled for release in July, the film’s premiere will coincide with the 90th birthday celebration of the esteemed Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, whose literary legacy is the inspiration for the cinematic adaptation. This timely release promises to honour Soyinka’s seminal work and celebrate his enduring influence on literature and culture.

“The Man Died” is poised to follow in the footsteps of Soyinka’s other notable works that have been adapted for the screen. This includes “Death and the King’s Horseman,” which was recently brought to life in the Netflix film “Elesin Oba, The King’s Horseman.”

Furthermore, the stellar cast includes Odunlade Adekola, Shaffy Bello, Deyemi Okanlawon, Omowunmi Dada, and Jide Kosoko. The adaptation garnered widespread acclaim for its faithful interpretation of Soyinka’s powerful narrative.

Beyond the cinema, Soyinka’s literary works continue to captivate audiences worldwide. Timeless classics such as “The Lion and the Jewel,” “The Trials of Brother Jero,” “Aké: The Years of Childhood,” and “You Must Set Forth at Dawn.” Each of these works showcases Soyinka’s unparalleled talent for weaving tales that explore themes of identity, tradition, and societal transformation.
