Founded in 2018, the Kaduna International Film Festival has quickly become a major cultural platform, not only promoting the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria but also serving as a powerful catalyst for tourism, youth empowerment, and peace-building efforts in northern Nigeria.
As the region’s first international film festival, KDIFF plays a pivotal role in bridging the gaps within the local film and creative industries, facilitating growth and inclusion at a national level.
In his new role, Oloketuyi, who also serves as the founder of the Best of Nollywood Awards and chairman of the Advisory Board for the Bon Awards, expressed his enthusiasm and commitment to supporting the festival’s objectives.
He outlined his determination to leverage his extensive experience to further KDIFF’s mission of highlighting Nigeria’s dynamic creative scene while empowering young filmmakers and artists to showcase their work globally.
“I am deeply honoured by the opportunity to contribute to the Kaduna International Film Festival,” Oloketuyi remarked in his statement.
“I look forward to working alongside the KDIFF leadership to advance the growth of the Nigerian film industry and to create a platform where our nation’s finest creative minds can shine.”
Oloketuyi’s involvement in the festival aligns with his long-standing passion for fostering Nigerian talent and expanding the reach of Nollywood and African cinema worldwide.
His appointment will no doubt strengthen the festival’s ability to attract international attention and provide Nigerian filmmakers with a platform to compete on a global stage.
This collaboration underscores the significance of the Kaduna International Film Festival as a key player in Nigeria’s creative industry.
With the support of experts like Oloketuyi, the festival aims to continue making strides in promoting Nigerian and African cinema, advancing cultural exchange, and contributing to the development of the regional film industry.
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.
