Nollywood actress, Bisola Aiyeola was officially presented with a brand new SUV prize for her recent win as the African Movie Viewers Choice Award (AMVCA)
The car prize is sleek GAC Trumpchi GS8.
An excited Bisola who is managed by Temple Management Company received the car at the corporate headquarters of Multichoice Nigeria in Victoria Island, Lagos.
Bisola shot to fame after participating in the 2017 edition of the Big Brother Naija where she was the second runner-up.
No one has ever doubted Cobhams Asuquo’s legendary status in the Nigerian music sphere but he decided to refresh fans’ memories at the 2018 edition of the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards. From Adekunle Gold’s groovy performance to Falz’s high energy display, the night was not lacking in spectacle and Mr. Asuquo’s acoustic delivery brought a whole new energy to the AMVCA stage.
The show was off to bright start with a special cultural performance by the SEKI traditional dance troupe. Their ‘kaleidoscopesque’ costumes glistened as they danced and sang their hearts away on the brilliantly lit stage. Adekunle Gold’s colorful Afrobeat instrumentation filled the hall with good vibes and had everyone grooving along. Falz gave all the pop performance the audience wanted from a big show like the AMVCAs. He came through with everything from backup dancers to flashy costumes and it was an astonishing sight.
While the men brought the drama, the ladies brought calmness with their powerhouse performances. Award-winning Nigerian soprano, Omo Bello, left everyone in awe with her glass shattering vocals, while Bisola gave a surprisingly emotional performance with her tribute to the film industry’s dearly departed through one of Evanescence’s biggest songs.
Nigerian producer, singer and songwriter, Cobhams, took to the stage to perform a special version of his single, ‘One Hit’, rewritten just for the AMVCA. Why perform an old song when you can remake it, right? The original version of Cobhams’ ‘One Hit’ name dropped a plethora of move making Nigerian artistes. However, in the AMVCA edition, Asuquo replaced the names of the artistes with names of Nigerian actors.
Everyone from Omotola Jalade-Ekehinde to Odunlade Adekola got a special shout-out from Cobhams. The performance was definitely one of the highlights of the star studded show. His performance not only thoroughly entertained both audiences at home and at the Eko Hotel, it also served as a charming little surprise for all those watching.
ONE year after she left the Big Brother Nigeria (BBN) reality tv show, multi-talented actress, singer and comedienne, Bisola, has been reflecting about how the experience has changed her life.
According to the Temple Music artiste, thinking about it, she never thought in her wildest dreams how the “hype surrounding everything we were doing and how our lives were going to change.”
She put her thoughts in a hearty Instagram post to her fans where she paid glowing tributes to her handlers, pan-African talent agency, Temple Management Company (TMC), for their huge role in her post-BBN career trajectory.
“Today is a birthday of sorts for me,” Bisola wrote.
“One year ago, I left the Big Brother House as runner-up and set upon a path that has been beyond my wildest dreams. People always ask me about my time in the house, but truth is none of us imagined the hype surrounding everything we were doing and how our lives were going to change. It still takes me by surprise when I travel around The world and people come up to me to wish me well and sometimes even quote things I said from a year ago.
“I went into the house with just one purpose which was to reach as many people and showcase my talent.
“When I think of the things that my Big Brother experience has allowed me to do in the past 12 months, it is difficult to do so without overwhelming gratitude. It has connected me to my beautiful family, @thetemplecompany. It has allowed me greater selection in the kind of projects I do. It has given me the opportunity to add my voice to the plight of our young girls who have the smallest voices in our country. Most importantly, it has allowed me to be closer to all of you. I thank @multichoice_africa , @payporte and @dstvnigeria for the life-changing opportunity. I thank My mother, my sister @Adunola.a ,My daughter Leyla for their constant support. I thank you @biodunstephen And @thetemplecompany for always having my back. I thank each and every one of you for continuing to tolerate my craziness and allowing me to be myself. Trust me when I say you ain’t seen nothing yet! I love you all. #NaTheWorkWeDeyDo#BeTheMovement #TMC #TMPL #BBNaija.”
Nollywood movie director, Cheta Chuwku is set to premiere his new movie ‘PayDay’ in cinemas nationwide.
According to information, the movie which is a comedy flick, boasts of an extraordinary storyline, great acting and young but talented actors who will light up your screen.
Produced by Manny Ameh, written and directed by Cheta Chukwu, the movie features actors like Big Brother Naija runner Up Bisola Aiyeola, Baaj Adebule, Comedian Ebiye Victor, Mawuli Gavor, Frank Adekunle, Meg Otanwa, Zack Orji and more.
‘PayDay’ follows the story of two best friends and flat mates, Paul (Baaj Adebule) and Ortega (Ebiye Victor) who, just before they are about to renew their yearly rent, their Landlord dies very suddenly, and seemingly without any heir apparent. The young men seize upon the unfortunate but good opportunity to ‘enjoy’ a little.
They go on an expensive night out. The Landlord’s daughter (Segilola Ogidan) turns up the following morning and gives the boys 24-hour notice to pay up or face eviction. They embark on an overnight scheme to recover the rent, leading to a dangerous encounter with an eccentric drug baron (Frank Adekunle Macaulay), a desperate robbery attempt, a gambling adventure, and an ego war with the neighborhood bully, Orlando (Mawuli Gavor). All the while they were hounded by Ngozi (Bisola Aiyeola), the neighborhood gossip, who just wants a piece of the action.
Hitting the Cinemas soon, Cheta Chukwu promises a story like you have never seen before, a feel good comedy and an extraordinary acting skill from the young actors with PayDay.
Recently evicted housemate Teddy A has received invitations for music collaborations from Nigerian pop artist Iyanya and BBNaija season two first runner up Bisola.
The two musicians, who are signed on the same management platform, reached out to Teddy A through their Twitter accounts after his eviction on Sunday.
‘Kukere’ crooner, Iyanya wrote @Iyanya, “Yooooo @iamteddya #Biko hit me up once you get into Gidi. Make we enter studio cook banger! #AlphaMale #BBNajia #TMC #BeTheMovement.”
Minutes later, Bisola, who just released a new music single, commented @iambisola, writing: “Bruv @Iyanya, I need to be that studio with you and @iamteddya. Let’s do this! #BBNaija #AlphaMale #TMC #BeTheMovement.”
Meanwhile, other Nigerian stars have been drumming support for Teddy A right after his eviction, especially the growth of his music with some urging him to utilise the platform.

Acclaimed media personality J.J. Omojuwa @omojuwa tweeted, “Teddy A will do outside the house. At least he got the talent and persona to be a star.”
Teddy A was evicted on Sunday after securing total 16.81 per cent of the votes, coming third after Nina and CeeC.
The housemate, who was best known for his musical prowess, spent the most part of his stay in the house glued to his love interest BamBam.
However, in a twist, BamBam was evicted on Saturday after the party, which left Teddy A feeling down as he visibly shed tears.
The ex-housemate reiterated the need to focus on his music now that his time on the show is over.
This leaves CeeC, Nina, Rico Swavey, Miracle, Tobi, Alex, Anto, Lolu and Khloe to continue the battle for the 45 million naira star prize.
