Segun Arinze is Omoni Oboli’s biggest fan

LEADING Nollywood actress, Omoni Oboli, should count herself lucky that she has a huge fan in the deep actor and President of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) Segun Arinze.

The singer, voice over artiste and actor, whose real names are Segun Aina Padonu, admires Omoni acting abilities greatly. Or what else would make an actor, who should be concerned that he didn't get a nomination or mention, call the secretariat of AMAA 2010 to find out why Omoni did not get a nomination in the leading actress category? In fact, the waka pass, who sold this gist to us, hinted that presido was on phone for several minutes on the matter. The only reason he advanced was that Omoni ought to be nominated since the movie, Figurine, was nominated in the best film and best directing categories and even Ramsey Nouah that sparred with her got a nomination.

Anyway, we were told that he hung up when he was asked to see the other movies in contention and compare Omoni's performance with those in nomination.

We gathered that Presido laughed out loud when he was told by another waka pass, who saw the movie that the only time Omoni was prominent in the film was when she started 'fighting Figurine' and after that she slept for the better part of the film until the point she opened her eyes at the end of the film'. They said Presido was just answering 'hum, hum' meaning that himself fit never see the film wey him dey do lawyer on top so'. Not to we talk am ooo. But like dem dey say here:
