Nigerian actor and film producer, John Tyler Ekanem, has told a spiritual story using totally different twists and plots in his new film, Brothers in Arms.

The feature film, which began showing on John Ekanem TV on Saturday, April 5, 2026, has become a source of discourse for fans and viewers alike.

Without losing the essence of storytelling, Ekanem, who wrote the story as well as serving as Executive producer for the film, highlights the importance of prayers in the lives of both successful and struggling individuals.

Directed by Valentine Edochie, Brothers in Arms features Stan Nze, John Ekanem, Tana Adelana, Eso Dike, Blessing Obasi-Nze, and Chinonso Arubayi.

In the words of Tana Adelana, one of the cast of the film, the film is relaxing and enjoyable. “This is content for sit back, relax, and enjoy literally,” she said.

Brothers in Arms tells the story of three ambitious partners—Chuka, Bola, and Jimoh—who rise from humble beginnings to build a thriving company rooted in trust and shared vision. As their success grows, so do the pressures of leadership, relationships, and personal desires. When one partner begins to drift, struggling to balance business, loyalty, and personal life, cracks form within the brotherhood. They had to introspect and return to the core of their foundation – prayers – to surmount the troubles and problems threatening to tear down their core and all they have built.

“I am excited about the release of this film. It’s currently airing on John Ekanem TV, and I can assure you it’s a story that will literally leave you on the edge of your seat. For every season, Brothers in Arms is the right film for you, your brothers, sisters, friends, and associates because it gives insight into relatable events of our daily lives,” said Ekanem.

Oluwamayowa Lawrence produces the film for John Ekanem and YET studios.

The ancient city of Abeokuta came alive in a grand display of culture, history, and unity as dignitaries from across Nigeria converged at the iconic Ake Palace Ground for the 39th edition of the Lisabi Festival, an annual celebration deeply rooted in the Egba people’s heritage.

The event, proudly supported by Adron Homes and Properties Limited, witnessed an impressive parade of distinguished personalities, traditional rulers, government officials, business leaders, and cultural enthusiasts, all captured in vibrant pictures that tell the story of a people united by history and pride.

From richly adorned monarchs in regal attire to elegantly dressed guests reflecting the depth of Yoruba tradition, the images from the festival encapsulate moments of honour, reverence, and celebration. Each photograph portrays not just faces, but influence, leaders, and stakeholders who continue to shape cultural preservation and community development.

At the heart of the celebration was the revered Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo, whose presence underscored the festival’s significance as a symbol of Egba resilience and identity. Surrounding him were eminent dignitaries whose attendance further amplified the prestige of the event.

Adron Homes and Properties Limited stood out prominently, not only as a sponsor but as a key driver of cultural sustainability. Through its strategic support, the company reinforced its commitment to preserving indigenous heritage while fostering community engagement. The brand’s visibility across the venue and within the pictorial highlights reflects a deliberate alignment with culture, tradition, and people-centred development.

Beyond real estate, Adron Homes has continued to position itself as a cultural partner, investing in platforms that celebrate history and strengthen communal bonds. Its involvement in the Lisabi Festival is a testament to its broader vision of building not just homes, but legacies rooted in identity and pride.

The 39th Lisabi Festival, as captured through the lens of dignitaries in attendance, is more than an event; it is a narrative of continuity. And through its unwavering support, Adron Homes has once again set the pace, demonstrating that corporate institutions can play a vital role in sustaining the cultural heartbeat of a people.

As the echoes of drums fade and the colours of the festival linger in memory, one thing remains clear: the story told through these images is one of unity, heritage, and the enduring partnership between tradition and progress.

Popular Yoruba content creator and YouTuber, Mathew Ayobamidele, popularly known as Agbaletu, has tied the knot with his US-based lover, Felicia Aderonke, in a colorful ceremony held in Lagos.

The wedding, which is currently ongoing, is happening at Marcellina’s Place in Ikeja GRA, has a blend of traditional Yoruba rites with a modern celebration, reflecting the couple’s cultural roots and international lifestyle.

The event was attended by family members and close friends.

Agbaletu, known for his engaging Yoruba-language celebrity interviews and cultural commentary on YouTube, has built a strong following both in Nigeria and among the diaspora. His bride, who is based in the United States, has largely stayed out of the public eye, making the wedding announcement a pleasant surprise for many fans.

The couple, dressed in elegant traditional attire, was dancing and celebrating amid cheers from guests. The groom appeared in a richly embroidered agbada, while the bride was stunning in a beautifully styled aso-oke outfit.

Agbaletu described his wife as his “peace and partner,” adding that the journey ahead holds great promise.
