The lad whom you can see his message above to Kemi Adetiba is a dedicated fan and one of many who shows the film director love, every now and then. Who doesn't love Kemi anyway. But her fans like me too wouldn't expect such a lovely message from her yesterday. It was surprise,but knowing the humourous film maker, isn't. She expresses her love in return and how appreciative she is of her fans support.
Am sorry, if am going to upset some historians with this conclusion, but she's my Tanimowo Ogunlesi of my generation. Read her message below, maybe you will realise the reasons behind my conclusion.
Can I take this Monday to formally thank you all for THE AMAZING energy you send to me every week? I might not be able to respond to them all, but I do take time to read them. I am so humbled!! Some of words I read Ehn?!! Tears to my eyes I tell you. I always dreamed of being in the creative industry at some level, but who would have predicted the love I get on a daily and the strong following supporting my projects would be at this magnitude. You guys are just tooooooo COOL!!

If my life and work can be that culture dish you magnify and investigate, that shows you that anything in life can be done, and it's never too late to reinvent yourself... Then I am happy. I am content. My message will ALWAYS be about the work, FIRST and my personality, SECOND. I'm a firm believer that the WORK creates the personality/celebrity and not the other way round. You can't build a mansion on a weak foundation. Being smart is sexy, being independent sexier... My #KingWoman tag is not about being troublesome and competing with men. No... Far from it. It's about knowing your place in this world and understanding that you DESERVE to achieve and conquer your goals no matter your race, sex or Creed. That you can achieve anything you put your WORK into. I'd rather inspire women to run out and acquire the hardest degree or learned skill than inspire them solely to run out and get the latest outfit or weave. "Teach a man to fish... ". Never get me wrong, EVERY woman wants to be looked at as beautiful... Even I. But I'd rather be seen as beautiful AND intelligent. And if I had to choose, flipping give me SMARTS and independence ANYDAY!! Life is out there for the taking. I'm talking WEALTH and SUCCESS... And everyone has access to it. How bad are you willing to WORK for IT? I said WORK... Not just "hope and pray". A seed under your pillow, will never grow into a tree. No matter how many dreams you have on top that pillow. Have an amazing day lovelies and thank you once again for allowing me and my work be in your presence. I absolutely ADORE you all 💋 #KingWoman
