Mr. Tobias Wolfgarten, Head of Programme at GIZ – SKYE, delivered a keynote address emphasizing the organization’s objectives in supporting the festival. These objectives included fostering the growth of the creative sector in Edo State and creating robust opportunities in film and theatre to boost youth employment.

One of the festival’s highlights was the presentation of “Azagidi: when gods die,” a play that explored themes of power struggles and the complexities of love. This gripping performance, written by Pedro Agbonifo Obaseki and directed by Osarumen John Igbinidu and Olajide Jolayemi, featured 100 exceptionally talented Edo youths.

Nigerian comedian, Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus, has opened up about a traumatic relationship experience, where his lover left him despite his expensive acts of love.

Speaking in a recent livestream with TikToker Sandra Benede, Sabinus described love as “cruel,” stressing that he resonates with what TikTok star Peller is going through following his breakup with his girlfriend, Jarvis.

Sabinus explained that he has been in a similar situation with Peller, who has been throwing public tantrums and involved in a ghastly car accident following the heartbreak.

He recalled how a lady he gifted a range rover out of love later left him. The comedian said he regretted the decision.

He urged Nigerians not to be harsh on Peller, stressing that love can be cruel sometimes.

“Jarvis has finished Peller. I have been in Peller’s situation before. Love is cruel. I once gifted a girl Range Rover because of love. She later left me. I regretted it. So nobody should blame Peller,” Sabinus said.

Recall that Sabinus confirmed that his marriage to his wife and mother of his child, Ciana Chapman, has ended during a TikTok livestream in December 2025.
