Following a prestigious debut at the Lagos International Theatre Festival, a phenomenal, sold-out 20-show Christmas run in Lagos, and a successful international tour in Pretoria, South Africa in partnership with the South African State Theatre, Dear Kaffy is set to captivate Lagos audiences once again.

Directed by the acclaimed Bolanle Austen-Peters, the “Queen of Theatre in Nigeria,” Dear Kaffy – Kike’s Story will be staged live at Terra Kulture, Victoria Island, Lagos, from April 18–21 and April 26–27, 2025, with two shows daily at 3PM and 7PM.

Dear Kaffy – Kike’s Story offers a heartfelt and relatable narrative centered on Kikelomo Olota (Kike), a brilliant 35-year-old Lagos woman navigating the complexities of love, identity, family pressures, and societal expectations.

 

 

Celebrated for her academic achievements from a young age, Kike often felt like an outsider amongst her peers due to her lack of romantic experience. In her desire to fit in, she prioritized popularity over authenticity, leading her into a series of complicated relationships.

The play follows Kike’s journey through encounters with Femi, the charming manipulator; Emeka, the seemingly perfect man with a hidden marriage; and the mounting pressure from her parents, particularly her father, which leads her to Debo, a promising new suitor.

“The quality of storytelling and performance in Dear Kaffy is excellent, it sells itself,” says Bolanle Austen-Peters, founder of BAP Productions. “This play gives a voice to the everyday African woman while celebrating her strength and vulnerability. We are honoured to bring it back home for Easter.”

Just as Kike begins to open her heart again, her past resurfaces with the return of her ex, Tamuno, igniting emotional turmoil and forcing her to confront her history.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Lagos, Dear Kaffy delves into the intricate emotional landscape of a modern African woman.

Through a blend of humor, music, and sharp social commentary, the play challenges cultural norms and celebrates the courage required to embrace authenticity over conformity.

Produced by Mrs. Bolanle Austen-Peters, this theatrical masterpiece features a stellar cast including Uzo Osimkpa as Kike, alongside Yewande Osamein (Tolani), Abiola Lepe (Bidemi), Sharon Onyegbula (Shalewa), Ralph Okoro (Tamuno), Hector Amiwero (Debo), Obiora Maduegbuna (Debo), Floyd Igbo (Femi), the veteran Bimbo Manuel as Father, and Bukola Ogunnote as Mother. The production also boasts a talented crew, with Ikenna Jude Okpala as Stage Manager and musical direction by Kehinde Oretimehin and Deji Aremu.

“The quality of storytelling and performance in Dear Kaffy is excellent, it sells itself,” says Bolanle Austen-Peters, founder of BAP Productions.

“This play gives a voice to the everyday African woman while celebrating her strength and vulnerability. We are honoured to bring it back home for Easter.”

 

 

Returning to its origins in Lagos, Dear Kaffy promises a revitalized and enriched experience, building upon the emotional depth that captivated audiences across Nigeria and South Africa.

Whether experiencing it for the first time or returning for another dose of laughter and tears, Dear Kaffy guarantees a soulful, hilarious, and unforgettable Easter theatrical experience.

Lizzy Anjorin Questions Court Order Over Priscilla Ojo’s Son

Published

on

Nollywood actress Lizzy Anjorin has questioned the authenticity of an interim order issued by the Lagos State High Court on 2 September 2026, restraining her from publishing photographs of Priscilla Ojo’s one-year-old son, Rakeem Mkambala, and from posting editorials concerning the family on specified social media platforms.

Anjorin raised the issue during an Instagram Live session on Friday, 4 September, after Priscilla shared a copy of the court order online.

The actress argued that publicising court documents before formally serving the respondent undermines the case.

“Your case na dead on arrival. If you post court letter on any platform before serving person wey you wan go serve, that court case na fake court case,” Anjorin said during the live session.

Her comments came shortly after the High Court of Lagos State granted an ex parte application brought by Priscilla, her husband, Tanzanian singer Juma Mussa Mkambala, and their son, Rakeem.

Justice Yetunde Adesanya issued the interim order in Suit No. LD/ADR/6646/2026.

The order restrains Anjorin, as well as people acting under her authority, from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of Rakeem on specified social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp and TikTok.

The court also directed Anjorin to cease publishing or broadcasting editorials concerning the applicants on the platforms covered by the order.

An ex parte order is made at an interim stage without the respondent being heard. The order is therefore not a final determination of the dispute and remains subject to further proceedings.

Priscilla shared the certified copy of the order on her Instagram Story on Friday, bringing the legal development into public view.

Anjorin’s reaction centres on the timing and manner in which the court documents were publicised. Her assertion that such publication makes a case “fake” is her own claim and is not a finding contained in the court order.

The development marks another chapter in the prolonged public dispute between Anjorin and Priscilla’s family, particularly Priscilla’s mother, actress Iyabo Ojo.

The disagreement has played out largely on social media and has previously resulted in legal action, including a ₦1 billion defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Anjorin.

In recent weeks, the dispute has also drawn Priscilla and her young son into the controversy, following public comments by Anjorin concerning the family.

BBNaija Kess Says Big Brother Makes Life Harder

Published

on

Kesiena Tony Adjekpovu, popularly known as Kess, has said that participating in Big Brother Naija can make life harder, offering a candid reflection on the challenges that may come with the reality television experience.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate made the comment in a statement shared on social media, where he suggested that winning or simply taking part in the reality show does not necessarily make life easier after leaving the house.

“Big Brother makes your life harder,” Kess said.

The remark has drawn attention because life after reality television can bring a different set of expectations, particularly as former housemates adjust to increased public attention and the pressure that can accompany visibility.

Kess was a housemate on the seventh season of Big Brother Naija, which aired in 2022. He entered the show as a businessman and was among the contestants who competed for the season’s grand prize.

His time on the programme also placed him in the public eye, giving viewers an opportunity to follow his personality and relationships inside the house.

Kess’s latest comment offers a more reflective view of the reality TV platform, suggesting that the experience does not end when a contestant leaves the house.

However, he did not provide further details in the available post explaining which specific aspects of life after Big Brother he was referring to.
