Popular actress, model, and activist, Queen Esther Daniels, has been crowned the Best Idoma Nollywood Actress of All Time.
The talented thespian received this accolade ahead of industry legends such as Ene Comfort Ikwumono, Jane Odoh, and others at the Idoma Nollywood Film Festival, which took place during the Idoma International Carnival in Otukpo, Benue State, on Monday, December 23, 2024.
Queen Esther made her acting debut at the age of 15 and has since starred in numerous Nollywood and Idoma movies.
In 2022, she made her production debut with the indigenous blockbuster “Akpa K’Oche” (The Throne).
She has utilized her talent as a vehicle for advocacy, working against social vices while promoting culture, peace, and unity.
In recognition of her hard work and dedication, she was overwhelmingly voted as the Best Idoma Actress of All Time.
Reacting to the victory via his Facebook page, Hon. Prince Yemi Itodo, the Executive Producer of Akpa K’Oche, stated that Queen Esther’s recognition as the eternal Best Idoma Nollywood Actress was well-deserved.
He expressed his gratitude to the organizers of the Idoma International Carnival for recognizing Idoma talents and promoting tourism.
He wrote, “Tonight, history is made! Idoma people of Nigeria gathered at their traditional headquarters in the ancient town of Otukpo, Benue State, to celebrate this Thespian and screen goddess of unqualifiable measures…
“Queen Esther Daniels was nominated and won the Idoma Nollywood Actress of All Time, not Actress of the year, not Actress in the past, not Actress in 2025, not upcoming Actress, but Actress of All Time… This means alot to the industry and the family.
“Queen Esther Ene Daniels started gracing our screen right from the age of 15; and back-to-back, she has sustained the steam, the steez and the dexterity, interpreting her professional roles, both in Idoma and Nigerian Nollywood. She is also one of the rare Female Movie Producers in Idoma land, with her blockbuster AKPA K’OCHE (The Throne), short titled in English in 2022 and premiered at Double K Resort, Otukpo.
“This award is well deserving and it’s welcoming.
“We want to appreciate the organisers of Idoma International Carnival , the Global President, who doubles as President of Idoma Association in America, Prince EDWIN OCHAI; Global Vice President and Autotchonous incumbent of the MIC industry and Radio Benue Zcar, Henry Ipole; and all other crew, including the Federal Ministry of Information and Tourism, for this show of love.
“Finally, this award is dedicated to Almighty God, the Idoma nation, the cast and crew of AKPA K’OCHE (The Throne), especially, the Director, Ochola St Godwins; Editor, Jeff Onjefu, Lead Actor and Producer of OSOFIA IN BRAZIL, Pastor Abel Success, DoP, Richy Billions; Mr. Isaac Ochedikwu, Mummy Eze; Anebi Onobe; Ochagwu; for making Queen Esther a successful Producer.
“Idoma Nation shall be great again!!”
Big Brother Naija host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has criticised the Season 11 housemates for their lack of energy and initiative during their first week on the reality show.
Ebuka delivered the assessment during Sunday night’s live show, saying many of the contestants appeared to be waiting for events to unfold instead of creating memorable moments.
He said he initially believed the housemates were still adjusting to their new environment but became concerned after watching their preparations for the wager task.
“Too many of you were just not there. I thought it was just day two and you all were trying to acclimatise,” he said.
“Then the wager task happened, but the build-up to it was lackadaisical, especially from the ladies. I did not want to think too much of it.”
Ebuka said the pool party also failed to produce the level of excitement expected from the contestants.
“But then, I watched the pool party. It was more like I did not watch it because I went to bed at some point. It was not just it,” he said.
The host urged the housemates to become more proactive and take greater control of their experience in the house.
“I have been trying to find the word to describe the week, and I think the right word to use is that there are so many of you waiting for things to happen, and not many of you are making things happen,” he added.
His remarks served as a wake-up call to the contestants as the reality show entered its second week.
Popular Hausa political praise singer, Muhammadu Buhari, popularly known as Kosan Waka, has passed away on Sunday at the age of 47.
Kosan Waka was widely known for his political praise songs, particularly in support of Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf.
Mourning the death, Governor Yusuf expressed grief over the loss, describing it as a painful one not only to the entertainment industry but to the wider community.
In a condolence message issued by his spokesperson, Sunusi Bature Dawakin Tofa, the governor described the late singer as a patriotic son of Katsina State whose music made a significant impact on political communication, cultural promotion and public enlightenment in Kano and beyond.
According to the statement, Kosan Waka died on Sunday and was scheduled to be buried at 5 p.m. in his hometown of Tsanni village, Batagarawa Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The Nigerian entertainment industry has been thrown into mourning following reports that popular juju artist Saint Janet has passed away.
Although details surrounding the circumstances of the artist’s death remain limited at the time of filing this report, news of the passing has begun circulating on social media, with fans, colleagues, and well-wishers expressing shock and paying tribute to the late musician.
Saint Janet was widely recognized for contributions to the juju music genre and earned a loyal fan base through energetic performances and a unique musical style.
Family members and close associates have yet to release an official statement regarding the cause of death or funeral arrangements.
This is a developing story, and more details will be provided as they become available.
