Temi Otedola has opened up on playing her debut film role in Kunle Afolayan’s Citation movie.

Reacting to Citation, Temi Otedola shared: “This movie is more than entertainment. The heart of this movie is a message to the world and I just feel so blessed, honored, grateful to bring this character, Moremi Oluwa to life. For many months, she lived within my heart and it is even hard till this day to separate the two of us. I hope I was able to be a vessel for countless of girls in this country who will not get the chance to tell their story. That is the heart of ‘Citation’ for me.”

While talking to radio host Joe Madison on SiriusXM UrbanView on October 30, Waters said, “Any of them showing their face, I will never ever forgive them for undermining the possibility to help their own people and their own communities. It is absolutely unconscionable.”

She continued, “I don’t know why they would be doing it. I don’t know what’s on their minds, but if we don’t turn out this vote and turn it out huge, this man could end up winning again. And this country would go backward.”

Tottenham winger Ryan Sessegnon says he is “not even surprised anymore” after receiving racist abuse on social media.

Sessegnon, 20, described the abuse as “unbelievable” and “disgusting.”

Spurs said, “everyone at the club” is with Sessegnon and Hoffenheim also posted a message of support. “We are proud of the rich ethnic diversity that exists across our communities, fans, staff, and players,” Premier League club Tottenham posted on social media. “We are driven by inclusion and equality for all and nobody should have to endure such repulsive abuse.”

The account that sent the racist messages to Sessegnon, who also plays at left-back, has since been removed from Instagram.
