Ruth Kadiri Vows to Revolutionize Nigerian Cinema with Quality and Trust
Nigerian actress and movie producer Ruth Kadiri has expressed her deep love for her craft in a recent post on her official Instagram page. Ruth Kadiri, who has built a reputation as a prominent figure in Nollywood, shared her ambitious plans to revolutionize Nigerian cinema and create a lasting brand.
In her heartfelt message, Kadiri emphasized her commitment to producing high-quality films that will resonate with audiences. She revealed her desire to change the industry’s norms and ensure that viewers choose her movies based on trust in her brand rather than promotional efforts.
“The way my brain functions! I ask myself what would become of my brand if I had no promotional help from anyone. Truthfully, I don’t rely on anyone, so when help isn’t offered, I’m not bothered. I promise you all, I’ll change the pattern in Nigerian cinema! You’ll watch my movies not because someone begged you to, but because you trust me!”
Ruth Kadiri, a mother of two, also spoke about her vision for building a long-lasting brand. She emphasized the importance of creating a solid structure that doesn’t rely on constant promotion. “I’m here to build a brand of longevity that doesn’t require constant begging. I, Ruth Kadiri, am not in a hurry. Building a solid structure is all I’m about. So, when you see that opening credit with my name on it, you know your money or data is never going to be wasted!”
Kadiri’s post comes after giving fans a behind-the-scenes look into her life in a recent interview. Her determination to reshape the Nigerian film industry and her unwavering confidence in her brand have inspired many of her followers.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
