Sticks X Stones episode 5, the finale. Blessing X Victor. And with that, season 1 of Sticks X Stones comes to an end!!! What a ride it’s been. Thank you all for coming on this ride with me. This is not the appreciation post, that will come later. Fred eyes first blur! Can’t you see Mama is receiving counseling?? You see this scene? In the entire series, this is the scene I’m proudest of. From a cinematic POV, how you don’t realize it’s behind a glass. Thank you for trusting me @cinemmaofficial From a story POV, how much of a breaking moment this is for Blessing, how Victor realizes how bad things have gotten.. From a performance POV… nothing needs to be said.. I absolutely love this episode and I’m so grateful for the grace @megotanwa and @kelechiudegbe carried their characters with. A depth I hadn’t even written was shown to me. Thank you!

Sticks And Stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me… or will they? Sticks And Stones is a 5 episode anthology series about relationships, love, family, friendships and identity and the one conversation that changes it all. Sticks And Stones premieres on Lota Chukwu On YouTube, March 1st!

@onahluciaa Editor's Note: Meg Otanwa @megotanwa left a corporate career for acting, and at the time, it felt both terrifying and exhilarating. She remembers sitting at her desk in the office, staring at her desktop, feeling she was meant for something else. The fear was real as she walked away from predictability, a defined path, and money. What that leap taught her is that fear is a sign that something matters deeply to you. She had to trust that the restlessness she felt wasn’t recklessness, but her intuition leading her toward her purpose. Otanwa is known to be selective with roles. She is drawn to scripts that respect the intelligence of their audience, looking for characters who feel like real people—women with contradictions and complexities. For Otanwa, a script becomes impossible to ignore when it challenges her, when she reads it and thinks, “I don’t know how to do this yet; I’ll need to figure it out.” Read Meg Otanwa’s interview on pages 8 to 10. The fertility conversation can be very uncomfortable, especially for couples who have yet to conceive. However, times are changing, and people are beginning to challenge the stigma and have open conversations about reproductive health because reproductive health is not just about the woman alone. Learn more about this topic on page 14. Repeating outfits is not a fashion crime. In fact, when you understand your wardrobe, you can mix and match clothes so no one will guess you wore the same outfit the week before. Our fashion pages show you how to combine your clothes like a pro for maximum effect. Scroll to pages 4 and 5 for this. Don’t forget you can download the playlist on page 20 for a really cool selection of music. Until next week, enjoy your read. #Career #Acting #Nollywood #TheWillDowntown #Downtownpost

Yes! It’s my Birthday! 🎂 Thank you all for the love. 🫶🏽😘 Happy Val’s day to you all. Hope you got some love today? ❤️❤️. 📸 @jibriltaiwo

Dear Meg, Today, I pause. Not to count the years, but to honor the becoming. You have walked through seasons that tried to break you, and yet here you are: softer in heart, stronger in spirit, wiser in discernment. You have outgrown versions of yourself that once felt permanent. You have survived things you never thought you could. And you have done it with grace. Ejum ojonya, I am proud of you. 😊 Proud of the quiet battles you fought without applause. Proud of the boundaries you learned to set. Proud of the way you chose growth over bitterness, faith over fear, and love over resentment. Proud of the way you kept going , even when going felt heavy. Ejum oyi ku mama Paulina, you are no longer shrinking to fit into spaces that do not honor you. You are no longer apologizing for your light. You are learning that loving yourself is not pride, it is stewardship. It is honoring the woman God is shaping you to be. Today, I celebrate the courage it took to become this version of me. I am grateful to God for how far He has brought me , for the closed doors that redirected me, for the delays that protected me, for the prayers He answered and the ones He lovingly withheld. Every step, even the painful ones, carried purpose. I am not where I started. I am not where I’m going. But I am exactly where I need to be. This year, I choose softness without weakness. Confidence without arrogance. Ambition without losing my peace. Love without abandoning myself. Meg, you are becoming. And that is beautiful. Here’s to deeper faith. Here’s to intentional growth. Here’s to loving myself boldly. Here’s to walking into rooms knowing I belong. Happy Birthday to me. With gratitude. With faith. With open hands. Fondly, Meg Otanwa. 📸 @jibriltaiwo #MegOtanwa #february14 #thechameleon #birthdaygirl
