Kemi Adetiba: Success incorporated

Oluwakemi Modupeola was Adetiba born on 8 January 1980. After her primary school education at Corona School, she attended Atlantic Hall School where she completed her secondary education.

She then went on to the University of Lagos where she fulfilled all the requirements necessary in attaining an LL.B (Hons.) degree (Law). In her third year of university, she landed a job with the biggest media house in Nigeria - SilverBird Communications as an on-air personality for Rhythm 93.7 FM. She says she was 'tricked' into her job. “I was invited just to have a chat with the boss Roy Bruce along side 10 other people who actually 'wanted' the job. At the end of the discussion I thanked the go-between and declined the offer. Next thing I know, I get a call saying I start work the next Saturday morning and more ironic, I was the only one out of the 10 to get the offer”. And as they say the rest is history.

Today she hosts the Sunday show, Sunday at the Seaside where her catch phrase is 'The only show that makes your Sunday afternoon feel like a Friday night'. She also hosts the mid-week Dance Party and the Saturday breakfast show called Sold- Out. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree as her father used to be on television and radio. In fact, a lot of people believe her talent comes from the genes.

Kemi got her first taste of the media industry as a little girl accompanying her father, Dele Adetiba, to radio and television stations. "He used to be an on-air personality himself and then he joined Lintas, the advertising company, and I was privileged to be behind-the scenes when some commercials were being shot. Actually I did some commercials myself as well." "I started my career relatively early, I think when I was about 21 years old, and I've been in the industry ever since. I joke with people that I feel like a veteran already." Hers is a story of luck, chance, opportunity and fate.
Her CV boasts a slew of radio and TV jobs where she acquired valuable experience which has attributed to her success. From her start as a radio anchor on Silverbird's Rhythm 93.7, Kemi transitioned to television, eventually securing a gig as a presenter on M-NET's Studio 53, a move which catapulted her squarely into the spotlight.
The global media industry is competitive, still Kemi has pursued her dreams relentlessly. Moving seamlessly from radio to TV, and now to film, she has been able to diversify her skills within the industry and isn't stopping anytime soon."I think it's just a natural progression.
Kemi's directorial debut was the 2008 feature film, ‘Across a Bloodied Ocean’. She also worked on the production team for the film, ‘Duplicity’, featuring Julia Roberts and Clive Owen which is due for release in the spring of 2009, as well as ‘Breaking the Shell’, by Italian director, Tommaso Bosco.
Some of her productions in Nigeria include the music video for TY Bello's 2008 hit single, Ekundayo, and some inserts for M-NET's Studio 53. Currently, she's working on music videos for some top Nigerian artists, television content for Nigerian stations and a documentary - and hopefully a film - on a Nigerian musical legend. "I can't talk too much on specifics for any of the upcoming projects - for obvious reasons, but for most, production should be wrapped up and on the air before the third quarter of 2009, by God's grace."
In-between directing and presenting, Kemi takes time to relax and finds her centre. "I enjoy music a lot. I deejay, or spend my free time compiling music." She says her greatest strength is her "ability to love unconditionally", and her greatest motivation is the eagerness to succeed.
Although she has a preference for a certain type of guy - "give me intelligence and humour in any package and I'm good”. She responds evasively about her relationship status saying laughingly, "I'm very happy and extremely content." She thinks the pressure Nigerian women face to get married is ridiculous, "because if you rush them to go ‘in, they might end up rushing to come out as well. God's time is the best time!" Five years from now she hopes to have a family and to own her own television/ radio station.

LESBIANISM ROCKS SOUNDCITY TELEVISION

Tajudeen Adepetu led entertainment television, Soundcity, no doubt, is one of the best independent lifestyle and music channels which has dominated the dial for sometimes now. The entertainment outfit where all forms of entertainment works are carried out is at present swimming in an allegation that has to do with lesbianism.

According to the story, Nina, one-time presenter of Soundcity was said to have lured virtually all the ladies in the house to the ungodly act of lesbianism. Until her ignominious exit from Soundcity, lesbianism was at its peak to the extent that whenever they went out for any official assignment; there was always a ripple between the girls on who should sleep with whom. Now, another lady who is said to have resurfaced this sinful act after the exit of Nina is Joy.

Joy, according to those in the know works directly under a particular manager on the Island where Soundcity holds sway. This Joy, we gathered, has just been given a slot to anchor a show that has to do with nightlife. The other day, Joy was sighted having a chat with a prostitute in one of the Mainland nightclubs, findings from the prostitute on the content of their discussion revealed that Joy was asking her to come to her hotel room where she intended to register her youthful pervert instincts. Incest you would say!

Michael Jackson returns

So many things were said about him; some said he could no longer sing, while others came out with tales of his face being held by Band aids and his nose falling apart. There were also fears that he was blind in the left eye and was being transported in a wheel chair. All the gist, the tabloids and many months of speculation came to an abrupt end when the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, reportedly to be financially strapped, told the world and his fans that he is ready to moonwalk his way back to a territory he had occupied over the years.

Jackson staged a news conference at London's The O2 arena to announce that he'll be performing 10 concerts at the U.K. mega-facility. The first show will take place on July 8, 2009, with subsequent dates to be confirmed.

Wacko Jacko as he is fondly called was looking impressively better than his 50th birthday picture taken last year while on his pajamas. The picture led many to believe that the Thriller star's career as the King of Pop was gone with the wind but he is back and that is it.

To show that he was ready to set the stage rolling again, wacko, who was eccentrically dressed in a sparkling black and silver jacket, told the crowd made up of about 1000 fans that: “The Moonwalk is coming back while adding that “I've still got what it takes. I'll prove everyone wrong.” But he also made it clear that the concert might be his last.


The show which will be coming up in July may be his last curtain call but already, the anticipation towards the show is already setting records again as his concert website MichaelJacksonLive.com is struggling to cope after being inundated with hundreds of thousands of requests..

Jackson is expected to rake in £50million from the concerts and another expected $400m in sale of sale of commodities, television rights and merchandise.
