Ojo Returns to

Model cum actor, Joshua Ojo, is back to the industry that shot him into the limelight. Ojo was a force to reckon with in the modeling industry, having worked with popular and notable brands while growing up. His foray into the make- believe world started while he was in secondary school where he featured in a notable TV series, ‘Tightrope,’ which was sponsored by the United States Agency For International Development, USAID.

The talented movie actor played the son of both Olu Jacob and Joke Silva in ‘Tightrope’. The series ran for many years on Nigeria Television Authority Network and was the toast of movie lovers. After the success of the drama series, he participated in several movies and won several accolades as a kid actor. The impressive response further ignited his passion for acting and he was able to worm his way into late Amaka Igwe's heart. He earned a major role, Mufu in her popular family TV series, Fuji House of Commotion which he did for more than 10 years before leaving to start a new career in movie production. Ojo started producing and directing his own movies when he was 17 years-old, but he had unpalatable tales to tell from his experience. Despite the fact that he earned the nickname, the youngest director in Nollywood, he was duped and didn't get a dime from his projects.

Olopoeyan of engaging in antiparty activities then because he was hobnobbing with Makinde just to ensure he returned to the party. His alliance with Makinde almost landed him a suspension from the party then but he ignored all and ensured he helped Makinde attain his political dream. However, after his victory at the polls, Makinde turned his back on Olopoeyan and failed to compensate him for his efforts. The people who worked with Olopoeyan for Makinde's victory were also neglected. Olopoeyan angrily left the party and decamped to the NNPP while making his grievances known to the governor. However, their enmity is now in the past as Babatunde Oduyoye, a political adviser to Makinde brokered peace between the two while trying to persuade Olopoeyan to return to the PDP. Oduyoye organised a reconciliatory meeting between the two warring parties and they all left the venue smiling. After the meeting, Olopoeyan wrote a congratulatory message to Makinde. He also visited him at his residence just to show that all is now well between the two. While making comments about the development, Olopoeyan stated that the development and progress of Oyo State overrides every other interest whether politics or personal, which is why they both decided to sheathe their swords.
