The moment you hear the first crackling of static followed by a captivating, deep voice on the radio, you know Radio Voice isn’t your average Nollywood movie. In a world where the art of storytelling often intertwines with melodrama, Radio Voice dares to take a different route. Directed by the legendary Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD), Radio Voice is set in Nigerian city where secrets travel through frequencies and every word broadcasted can spark change or chaos.

The film follows a passionate and conflicted radio presenter, played by Timini Egbuson, whose rise to fame is shadowed by secrets that threaten to destroy everything he has built.

From the beginning, the plot is captivating. When a supposedly straightforward radio gig draws him into a scandal involving a terminally ill woman and a desperate crime, the protagonist is faced with a whirlwind of moral choices. At its core, the film isn’t just about the radio, it’s about what happens when the truth is too loud to ignore.

What makes Radio Voice different is its embrace of real-life societal issues, especially its sensitive and powerful treatment of cancer, a theme not often represented in Nigerian cinema. The storyline involving a struggling couple, one of whom is terminally ill, adds emotional depth and urgency to the plot. Their plan for a heist, sparked by despair and love, reflects the real, raw choices people make when systems fail them. The film doesn’t exploit the illness, it humanizes it, giving it voice in a society where many suffer in silence.

Deyemi Okanlawon

Deyemi Okanlawon plays Andy Da, a role he completely owns with an intense, grounded performance. His portrayal of a man battling with inner turmoil, desperation, and love makes him one of the film’s most compelling characters. His energy is raw, his magnetic presence reminds us again why he is one of Nollywood’s finest.

Nse Ikpi-Etim

Then there’s the elegant and always powerful Nse Ikpe-Etim, who plays a quiet force in the narrative. The character you would want to sympathize with, she is the victim of cancer in the movie. Her role, while not overly loud, adds balance and wisdom to the chaos around her. She represents the voice of reason, the one who sees beyond the noise. As always, Nse doesn’t just act, she embodies her character, grounding the story with emotional authenticity.

Damilola Adegbite

Damilola Adegbite also shines, bringing warmth and strength to a character who is central to the emotional unraveling of the film. Her presence is graceful, and she delivers her lines with sincerity, pulling us into the emotional gravity of her choices. Though her screen time may be limited compared to others, but she makes every second count.

And of course, Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD), besides directing, also steps in front of the camera in a role that echoes experience, power, and quiet danger. His character holds secrets, and his scenes are soaked with tension. He reminds us of the influence age and experience bring in a youth-driven world of fast fame and quicker consequences.

Nancy Isime

The chemistry between Timini and Nancy Isime (who plays his love interest) is one of the film’s highlights. Their relationship is beautifully flawed, filled with ambition, trust issues, and the pressure of living public lives. Their romantic subplot doesn’t feel like filler, it is an important subplot essential to the lead character’s choices and conflicts.

Cinematically, the film is a feast. From the beautifully captured scenes to the intimate close-ups shot that lead us into every single moment in the movie, the cinematography enhances the story’s emotional pull. The radio booth becomes more than a set, it’s a stage where truths are told, lives are changed, and voices are set free.

Timini Egbuson

One minor issue lies in the pacing. The middle segment lingers a bit too long on side conversations that slightly delay the narrative drive. Also, a secondary character, the best friend to Timini’s character, seems underdeveloped. We are left craving for more background story or to understand their role in the protagonist’s development.

Still, these minor issues don’t weaken the film’s impact. The sound design is brilliant, especially the way the radio voice hums subtly behind scenes, reminding us of its ever-present influence. The soundtrack, a mix of Afrobeat,  soulful music, and atmospheric tones, matches the shifting emotions perfectly.

Above all, Radio Voice is a relatable narrative. Who hasn’t battled between ambition and morality, between protecting someone you love and doing what’s “right”? Who hasn’t been affected, directly or indirectly, by the shadow of illness in a society where healthcare is a privilege, not a right? The film asks big questions, not with preachiness, but with empathy.

Radio voice

In Nollywood  where stories are predictable, Radio Voice takes a bold leap into layered storytelling, relevant themes, and soul-touching performances. It reminds us that behind every voice is a story, and some stories, no matter how painful, must be told.

On April 11, Radio Voice will  hit the cinemas nationwide. If you’re craving a movie that’s not only entertaining but deeply human, mark your calendar. This is one Nollywood best that will stay with you long after you finish seeing it.

Sex and sexual intimacy is a very sensitive and crucial part of a relationship and honestly, for some relationships, what would make or break it is the quality of sexual intimacy.

Bad sex therefore can leave one or both partners feeling dissatisfied, disconnected and frustrated and if not checked on time, in some cases can lead to the end of a relationship.

Whatever it is you struggle with sexually especially with your partner doesn’t have to be the end of your relationship and so this article would point out tips that would improve your sexual intimacy so you have a happier relationship.

1. Openly and Honestly Communicate

Healthy communication strengthens bonds

Communication is important for the growth of a relationship and that doesn’t exclude communication about sexual activity. One mistake a lot of people make is keeping quiet about something you don’t like that is going on.

If you don’t feel satisfied, speak up. You want to explore more, speak up. You don’t like a thing or two your partner does, speak up.

You are not a mind reader and your partner isn’t one either, the only way they know what they should improve on is when you communicate about it.

Don’t be scared to communicate your feelings or make the mistake of thinking you can endure it. Open up to your partner so you both can find a lasting solution to the issue or concern.

2. Prioritize Foreplay and Emotional Connection

Prioritize foreplay and emotional connection

Another mistake a lot of partners especially the males make is skipping foreplay entirely and rushing to sex. A study in 2022 by LELO found that 70% of women reported not getting enough foreplay before sex.

This could lead to dissatisfaction and disappointment as foreplay is not just about physical touch but also about connection and sexual intimacy with your partner.

To improve foreplay, try non-sexual intimacy including deep conversations, eye contact and laughter, explore different types of touch, either massage or light teasing, etc. This builds anticipation before sexual intimacy.

3. Stay Confident

Stay confident

Stay confident especially during sexual intimacy is important. A lack of confidence in your body or performance would lead to feelings of self consciousness and stress that reduces the quality of sex. The more confident you feel, the better the experience for you and your partner.

To boost sexual confidence, wear something you’re comfortable and confident in, especially for ladies. Make sure to focus on what you love about yourself and not your imperfections.

Most importantly, understand that sex is not about being perfect, it’s about connecting with your partner and the both of you fulfilling your sexual desires and expectations.

4. Keep Things Adventurous and Exciting.

Keep things exciting and adventurous

You begin to have a problem when sex feels like a burdensome chore and not something to look forward to doing with your partner. This is why you should not make sex a routine, it kills passion.

Here are things to try:

1. Explore a new location different from where you and your partner are used to or switch up the regular position.

2. Explore foreplay, fantasies and whatever else you both are comfortable with. Don’t be put in a box!

You can plan a surprise, intimate date that leads to sexual intimacy. Surprises spice up things too!

5. Educate Yourself and Explore Together

Stay informed and knowledgeable about intimacy and sexual activity

A lot of people have so many misconceptions about sex, relationships and intimacy and that is why being knowledgeable about some things would naturally improve the quality of your relationship sexually and otherwise.

Learn and grow together by reading books, watching videos, attending workshops that teach about intimacy. You can also discuss boundaries and desires openly and focus more on connection.

By noting and acting on these steps, you can improve the quality of your sexual activity and intimacy with your partner. The key focus is being open about your desire and striving to connect with your partner. With understanding, time and effort, you can build a happier, more intimate relationship both in and outside the bedroom.

Picture this, 42 kilometers of pure grit, sweat, and determination. Now, imagine doing it not once, not twice, but multiple times across some of the biggest marathon circuits in the world.

That’s exactly what Dr. Awele Elumelu has been up to, proving that strength isn’t just about boardroom decisions or career milestones,

it’s about pushing boundaries, both mentally and physically.

A renowned medical doctor and business leader, Dr. Elumelu isn’t your typical marathon runner. With a packed schedule and high-profile responsibilities,

you’d think she’d have every excuse to skip the early morning runs and grueling training sessions.

But instead, she’s out there, pounding the pavement, clocking in the miles, and showing the world that success isn’t just about ambition, it’s about endurance.

Her latest marathon finish is another feather in her cap, adding to her growing list of races across cities like New York,

London, Berlin, and Tokyo. But this isn’t just about personal achievement. Her journey is a masterclass in discipline, resilience, and the importance of prioritizing wellness.

Running a marathon is no walk in the park (literally). It demands months of preparation, mental strength, and the ability to push through pain when every muscle is screaming to stop.

And yet, Dr. Elumelu makes it look almost effortless because for her, it’s not just about running; it’s about setting an example.

Her story is a reminder that real success isn’t just measured in titles and accolades but in the ability to challenge oneself, stay committed and keep moving forward

whether on the track, in business, or in life. And if that’s not inspiring, I don’t know what is.
