They say after the storm comes the sunshine, and Nollywood’s Abiola Adebayo is proving that in every sense of the word.

Following the shocking collapse of her marriage, which left many fans stunned given her calm and graceful nature, the radiant actress has chosen not to stay in the shadows of heartbreak.

Instead, she has picked up the pieces with admirable strength, channeling her energy into new projects and self-growth.

Her fast-rising podcast, Talk To B, has become a refreshing platform where actors and actresses open up about their struggles and triumphs, a space that reflects Abiola’s empathy and resilience.

It’s no surprise that the actress, fondly called ‘Biola Bayo,’ continues to endear herself to both fans and colleagues alike.

But it was her recent outing at the star-studded Babaloja movie premiere that truly stole the spotlight.

Looking effortlessly chic in a crisp white shirt and blue jeans, Abiola dazzled on the red carpet with her glow and confidence, radiating a beauty that spoke louder than words.

Onscreen, she played a significant role in the movie, but offscreen, she became the evening’s highlight.

Cameras couldn’t get enough of her as she laughed, mingled, and later hit the dance floor with veteran actor Femi Branch.

The duo swayed to the evergreen tunes of Haruna Ishola, skillfully served by the famous DJ Gavpop, and the crowd loved every moment.

For an actress who has weathered personal storms, Abiola’s appearance was more than just style, it was a statement. A statement that she is moving on, rebuilding, and glowing stronger than ever.

Ekiti Governor, Biodun Oyebanji has said that the forthcoming October 27 governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is an opportunity to sustain the progress recorded in the party since his assumption of office three years ago.

Oyebanji made this known during a meeting with the BAO Primary Election Local Organizing Committee from the 16 local governments at his Ikogosi residence at the weekend.

The governor stressed the need to accommodate individuals who uphold the principles and vision of the party, worked tirelessly for the party’s success and made sacrifices for its collective good.

He said, ‘I keep telling people, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji can only be governor. The issue at hand is a collective issue for all of us and that has a lot of implications for others.

‘It is not about BAO, it is about the system, the party you have nurtured for a very long time.The APC is the aircraft that is taking us to our destination and nothing must happen to it.’

Oyebanji, who appreciated the LOC members, party chieftains and members for standing behind his re-election, urged them not to relent in their efforts but remain focused as the primary gathered momentum.

‘I am extremely grateful for your support and God knows that I value your efforts. I am grateful for everything you have done and will still do. It energizes and gives me confidence to move on.

‘This is the first time that I am seeing leaders, appointees contributing money voluntarily for a political cause , it has never happened including workers, PWDs. Let us remain focused and not distracted,’ he said.

Presenting the report of the just concluded ward tour from Ikole local government area, Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Adeoye Aribasoye reaffirmed that the people of the area will deliver massively for the governor’s re-election at the primaries.

On her part for Ado local government, Deputy Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Bolaji Olagbaju said the ward-to-ward tour attracted a large turnout of party members, who unanimously declared their unalloyed support for the governor’s re-election.

A chieftain of the APC, Chief Jide Awe and former Attorney General, Wale Fapohunda SAN , urged members to continue in their strides to mobilise in their wards and occupy the space before the primary election.

The Kano State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prince Abdullahi Abbas, has dissociated the party from some groups identifying themselves as ’12 APC Groups’ who backed the state governor, Alhaji Abba Kabir Yusuf, in calling for the removal of the State Commissioner of Police, Dr Ibrahim Adamu Bakori.

It will be recalled that ‘some groups under the aegis of APC 12 groups said in a release that the Commissioner of Police, Dr Ibrahim Bakori, should be sacked for refusing to participate in the Nigeria 65th Anniversary Parade.’

However, in a swift reaction to this position, the State Chairman of the APC, Prince Abbas, described the group as fake and not members of the party.

In a statement signed and made available to the press in Kano, the State APC Chairman said, ‘that his members who are genuinely APC card-carrying persons backed the boycott of the police to the parade ground because he is answering to the directives.’

Prince Abbas further called on the ‘Federal Government to even punish other Federal security agencies who attended the Parade Ground because, according to him, they have violated orders given to them.’

According to him, ‘Government should hasten the investigation of those other security agencies who participated at the event because they are directed not to participate.’

He also stated that those 12 groups claiming to be members of the APC can best be described as fake members engaged by disgruntled politicians paid to do a dirty job for their paymasters.

The Mariam Ashley Yusuf (MAY) Foundation, in collaboration with the Edo State Ministry of Education, has launched a campaign aimed at raising awareness among schools, educators, and community stakeholders about the dangers of human trafficking, sexual abuse, and drug abuse.

The campaign, which took place at the John Odigie-Oyegun Public Service Academy (JOOPSA) in Benin City, brought together various components of the education ecosystem, including unions, students, corps members, teachers, parents, and government agencies such as the Edo State Migration Agency.

Other stakeholders present included the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), the Nigeria Police, and representatives from the community.

Together, the stakeholders formed a unified front to protect the Edo child from major social vices.

Dr Paddy Iyamu, the Edo State Commissioner for Education, officially opened the campaign, commending the initiative as timely given the state government’s ongoing education reforms.

He stated, ‘Education is not just about academic performance; it is about shaping responsible citizens, the Edo Child. This campaign reinforces our collective resolve to safeguard the future of the Edo child from predators and destructive habits.’

Mrs Edesili Okpebholo Anani, coordinator of the Office of the First Lady of Edo State, emphasised the urgent need to empower the Edo child with the knowledge and values necessary to resist negative influences.

She noted, ‘Human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and substance abuse are real threats to the future of the Edo child. We believe that prevention begins with awareness, and that awareness must start in schools.’

Miss Ashley Yusuf Mariam, founder of the Mariam Ashley Yusuf Foundation, spoke passionately about preventing human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and drug abuse.

She called for action to strengthen prevention efforts, sustainable rehabilitation, and integration pathways for victims. Additionally, she launched her book titled ‘Stolen Dream,’ which recounts the story of a trafficking victim.

The programme included interactive sessions and open discussions, allowing students to learn from real-life scenarios and discover practical ways to respond.

Stakeholders at the event pledged to continue spreading the message across schools and communities, ensuring the campaign’s impact extends beyond the classroom.

Miss Obiageli Ofulue, speaking on behalf of students from various schools, expressed gratitude to Governor Okpebholo, the Ministry of Education, and the Mariam Ashley Yusuf Foundation for equipping them with the courage, knowledge, and resilience needed to reject destructive choices and embrace positive futures.

This stakeholder engagement underscores the Ministry of Education’s commitment to sustained partnerships with various organisations and agencies, as the fight against human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and drug abuse requires a whole-of-society approach.

Recent findings have revealed that young adults who experienced rectal bleeding faced an 8.5-fold higher risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) compared to those without the symptom.

A study presented at the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress 2025 said that young adults experiencing rectal bleeding have a significantly elevated risk of developing colorectal cancer, underscoring the need to take the symptom seriously even in the absence of a family history of colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer is also known as bowel cancer. Common causes of the disease include an unbalanced diet featuring too much processed meat, alcohol, and smoking, with little fibre and physical activity. Being overweight and obese contributes to around 11% of cases in the UK.

The retrospective study analysed 443 patients under 50 who underwent a colonoscopy at the University of Louisville Health System between 2021 and 2023. Of them, 195 (44%) were diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer, while 248 (56%) had normal results.

The study aimed to help doctors determine which young patients with symptoms should get a diagnostic colonoscopy and found that most (88%) of those later diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer had symptoms like bleeding, while just over half (55%) of those without cancer had similar symptoms.

Only 13% of early-onset colorectal cancer cases had a marker often associated with hereditary syndromes, such as genetic alterations that occur in some colorectal cancers.

Patients diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer were also significantly more likely to be former smokers (almost two times higher odds).

Senior author Sandra Kavalukas, MD, FACS, a colorectal surgeon at the University of Louisville School of Medicine in Louisville, Kentucky, noted that many early-onset colorectal cancers seen have no family history.

Dr Kavalukas said, ‘This research lends support to the question of who does or doesn’t warrant a colonoscopy: if you have a person below the screening age with rectal bleeding, you should seriously consider a colonoscopy.

‘If they’re 35 and they come in with rectal pain, they probably don’t need a colonoscopy. But if they come in with a bleeding complaint, they are 8.5 times more likely to have colorectal cancer.’

The findings address a critical gap in care for young adults, who are not eligible for routine screening but are experiencing the fastest-rising rates of colorectal cancer. The study provides data to support coverage for diagnostic colonoscopies in symptomatic young patients.

During a colonoscopy, a doctor will inspect your entire large intestine (colon) and rectum while you are sedated to determine the cause of the rectal bleeding.

It can help to find cancer early when it’s easiest to treat – or even to find and remove polyps before they turn into cancer.

Blood can show up in your stool in a variety of ways, and what that blood looks like can give clues as to where it’s coming from. Bright red blood may be a sign of something low in the colon or rectum, such as diverticulosis or haemorrhoids.

Darker blood may be from something higher up. If the blood is black or tar-like, that could signal an issue with the small intestine or stomach. Slowly bleeding tumours at the beginning of the colon, on the other hand, may cause dark red or black stools.

The US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines recommend screening colonoscopies starting at age 45 for most people without a family history of the disease.

The research team is now working on a larger analysis to create a risk score calculator.

TUNBOSUN OGUNDARE in this report X-rays the implications of the repeated strike actions by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) against the backdrop of the current threat to embark on a fresh indefinite strike if the Federal Government fails by next week to attend to its cry of many years.

IT is no more news that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) embarks on industrial actions whenever it has unresolved issues with the Federal Government. It does so repeatedly just like many other trade unions within and outside the academic system in the country.

In the last 26 years – from 1999 to date -, for example, hardly would a year pass without ASUU going on strike that lasted several weeks.

In 2020 alone, the union went on strike for nine months – which happened to be the longest in the recent history of ASUU strike. Just two years later, the union also went again for another round of eight months. These were during the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari, which also witnessed three months strike in 2018.

Every time, ASUU’s claim has always been that it declared strike after exhausting all other legal means of getting government to address its concerns.

Ironically, ASUU’s concerns over the years are almost the same. It has been about pushing government to inject more money to develop infrastructure in the public universities, to increase staff salaries and allowances, improve their working conditions and so forth.

The union always accuses government of underfunding universities and underpaying workers, claiming the condition has led to gross depreciation in the standard of public universities and their products.

At a time in 2009, an agreement was reached between the Federal Government and ASUU on the best way to fix the gap. This effort resulted in drafting of the popular 2009 Agreement and the subsequent memorandum of actions.

Now, 26 years down the line, most of the critical issues in the original agreement are still unattended to by the government, except for those that required little or no fund to implement, such as the recent imposition of ban on the establishment of new universities and a few others.

On this, the union is consistently pushing pressure on government to attend to them else it would order members to stay off work indefinitely.

For the current administration of President Bola Tinubu, the union has equally on several occasions issued warning strikes, staged several protests on campuses and also engaged the media all with a view to reminding the government about pending issues between them. But till date, there has been no convincing response.

A fresh threat was issued on Monday September 29, giving government a 14-day ultimatum to address those issues, failure of which will compel the union to declare an indefinite strike.

On the current threat, ASUU’s National President, Prof Christopher Piwuna, expressed strong determination and readiness of the union to proceed this time on indefinite strike if government remains adamant on the matter.

He said the union has been patient enough with the current government and now has been pushed to the wall and needs to react.

But to the stakeholders, while ASUU is right in its demands and also has the right to use strike actions to pursue its course, students, parents, the country’s education cause the general economy are always the ones who suffer major consequences of such actions.

According to them, the repeated disruptions caused by strke affect academic progression, delay graduation, push up parents spending, and also create long-term effects on career prospects and students’ personal growth.

Faruk Olateju, for example, has just finished his undergraduate Law degree programme at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Akoka. He got admitted to the university in 2018 for the five years course. By calculation, he is supposed to have done with his studies in 2023.

Though, the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought the whole world to its knees for some months, prolonged Faruk’s stay on campus, the major cause of his additional two years was ASUU strike.

In 2020 alone, ASUU went on strike for nine months- the longest in the recent history of ASUU strike- and two years later, it went again for another eight months, totaling one year and five months.

Faruk, who had earlier in 2018 wasted another three months because of strike by the same ASUU, told Sunday Tribune in an interview that he would never wish that ASUU should go on strike again in the country.

According to him, whenever ASUU downs tools, the students bear the greatest impacts, because academic calendars are disrupted, graduation timelines are extended and many students lose opportunities, especially internships, scholarships or postgraduate studies abroad that are tied to strict timelines.

‘These are some of the opportunities that students tend to lose in the event of strike,’ Faruk stressed.

He also observed that ‘For the university system generally, the repeated industrial actions create uncertainty and weaken the global competitiveness of Nigerian graduates.

‘We also know that parents lose confidence in public education and this indirectly pushes people towards seeking alternative in expensive private universities or foreign institutions that many can’t afford, widening socio-economic inequality.’

Faruk emphasised that even though he may not be directly affected if ASUU should embark on a fresh strike as being threatened, he would wish such a strike is averted by all means.

According to him, it is difficult to be completely at ease when the future of thousands of students is at stake.

According to him, ‘The current strike notice reminds me of the uncertainty that always comes with every strike notice- the anxiety, the disrupted plans and the emotional torture that accompany such notices.

‘The 2020 and 2022 ASUU strikes really had a real impact on my academic journey as they extended my expected graduation timeline and disrupted my rhythm of learning, always having to pause on my reading or my learning every now and then.

‘So, the reading, the learning is not flowing as IT should and that alone HAS negative consequences.

‘Beyond the academics, strikes also affected the social impacts aspect of my students’ life, plans for law internships, professional programmes and even personal goals had to be rescheduled. However, that period taught me resilience, but it also reinforces how much instability can damage students’ morale.

‘Honestly, the repeated threat creates a climate of uncertainty. As a student, your mind won’t be at rest. You will be thinking that you will now be forced to go home again.

‘So, such instances become mentally draining because you cannot plan your life with confidence. Even when the strike doesn’t happen, the constant threats hang over students like a cloud. It reflects a deeper problem in the system.

‘While I recognize that ASUU has legitimate grievances about their concerns, I still believe that strike should not always be the weapon of choice.

‘We need more creative solutions, perhaps legal frameworks that enforce agreements, independent mediators with government and the union and more importantly demonstration of accountability on both sides. Students should not be the collateral damage in this struggle.

‘So, I hope both the government and ASUU can prioritize uninterrupted education for Nigerian citizens,’ he concluded.

Sharing the same view, the National Assistant Secretary of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Adetunji Olatunji Emmanuel, said no matter what, this proposed strike must not become a reality.

According to him, it is obvious that strike actions only inflict pains and suffering on the children of the ordinary Nigerians- the masses- who struggle day and night to send their children to school.

He argued that the politicians and government officials whose failures created the protracted imbroglio are actually not affected as their children are comfortably schooling abroad or in expensive private universities locally.

‘If their children were in our public institutions, he said, this protracted issue would have been resolved long ago.

‘That is why all Nigerian students demand that the Federal Government should, without further delay meet its obligations to ASUU and resolve all the outstanding issues.

‘We say enough of endless promises, excuses, and insincerity as we are tired of being victims of leadership irresponsibility.

‘On the part of ASUU, we also call its leadership to reconsider the weaponization of strike as the only tool of engagement moving forward.

Just like Faruk had observed, Adetunji said, ‘Every strike destroys our academic calendar, elongates our years in school, and diminishes the quality of our education.

‘The lecturers must understand that their struggle, no matter how just, should not become a weapon against the same students they claim to fight for.’

He declared that should the proposed strike become a reality, NANS as an umbrella body of all Nigerian students would have no option BUT to mobilize themselves for massive protests that would shut down the major highways, airports, government offices, and critical infrastructure across the country.

He said Nigerian students and their poor parents cannot BE faced with economic hardship, high inflation, all form of taxes in the face of low incomes and still have to suffer again just because of attenging public schools.

According to him, enough of government and ASUU wasting their future

For the National President of Parent-Teacher Association of Nigeria (NPTAN) Alhaji Haruna Dajuma, his thought and perspective on the ASUUFG face off is becoming too embarrassing for the country.

He noted that parents have always been saying say no to ASUU strike as no parent is comfortable having their children at home when they supposed to be in school learning.

He, just like others, equally observed that the negative effects of strike actions outweigh the positive, with students bear the major brunt.

‘So, we cannot afford any strike again in Nigeria’s public universities,’ he emphasized, urging both government and ASUU to resolve their differences without disrupting academic calendar.

Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) and Fair Finance Nigeria have called on the Federal Government to urgently address the menace of crude oil theft and ensure that revenues from the petroleum sector are transparently and effectively utilized for national development.

Speaking at the official launch of a report titled ‘Community Voices on Oil, Finance, and the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA): A Case Study of Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa States’ in Abuja, CISLAC Executive Director, Comrade Auwal Ibrahim Musa Rafsanjani, lamented the colossal loss of 619.7 million barrels of crude oil valued at $46.16 billion between 2009 and 2020.

According to Rafsanjani, crude oil and natural gas remain the backbone of Nigeria’s economy, accounting for 89.23 percent of the country’s exports in the third quarter of 2023.

He noted that between 2020 and 2023, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) alone received over $10.3 billion in syndicated loans from local and international financiers, yet oil-producing communities remain impoverished.

The CISLAC boss identified complicity among oil companies, security agencies, government officials, and some community leaders as a major driver of persistent oil theft, which he described as a ‘lucrative criminal business.’

According to him, ‘If we are still treating oil theft in the lackadaisical attitude that it is being treated, definitely you will not see an end to the oil theft,’ he said. ‘At the end of the day, it is the generality of the communities that suffer.’

He added that host communities, despite their proximity to oil facilities, continue to live with exclusion, poverty, and environmental devastation. From January to August 2024 alone, five major oil spills were recorded in Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa States, with companies often opting to pay fines for gas flaring rather than invest in gas-gathering infrastructure.

The report highlighted lapses in the implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021, particularly in the Host Communities Development Trusts (HCDTs). Although oil companies are expected to contribute between $500 million and $800 million annually, only $21.7 million was remitted between 2022 and 2023, undermining sustainable projects and development initiatives.

‘Despite the enactment of the Petroleum Industry Act, challenges persist around inclusion, transparency, accountability, illicit financial flows, and the equitable implementation of the HCDTs,’ Rafsanjani stressed.

The study also documented severe socio-economic and environmental consequences, including respiratory diseases, cancer, and loss of livelihoods resulting from spills and gas flaring. Communities like Ibeno, Eastern Obolo, Ayakirama, and Azuzuama were cited as case study areas where residents continue to endure hardship without adequate compensation.

Rafsanjani described the report as ‘an urgent call to action for government, oil companies, financial institutions, and civil society to prioritize transparency, accountability, and collaboration to secure a just and sustainable future for oil-producing regions.’

In his presentation, Director of Programmes at Connected Development, Mr. Agu Kingsley, emphasized the role of financial institutions in preventing ‘greenwashing’ by ensuring strict adherence to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards when financing oil and gas projects.

Kingsley disclosed that between 2020 and 2023, NNPCL received $8.6 billion in financing, enabling it to declare $1.7 billion profit in 2023. He added that over 50 percent of the 18 banks financing Nigeria’s oil sector claim to be signatories to global ESG principles, yet compliance remains weak.

According to him, ‘stronger regulatory frameworks and accountability measures are essential to strike a balance between project finance, environmental justice, and the development needs of host communities.’

Taraba State has emerged as Nigeria’s top destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2025, following a $268.63 million financing deal recently approved by the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development (EBID).

Special Adviser to the Governor Agbu Kefas on Policy and Strategic Communications, Hon. Nelson Chris-Dimas, who stated this in a release issued in Jalingo on Sunday, explained that the development is a direct outcome of the Taraba Investment Summit, TARAVEST, held in May 2025.

The investment, described as the largest single FDI secured by any Nigerian state this year, is tied to major agro-industrial and renewable energy projects aimed at repositioning the state’s economy.

Dimas also noted that the funding was not just a headline figure but a practical step towards transforming Taraba’s economy and meeting the daily needs of the people.

‘The $268.6 million ECOWAS Bank deal is the clearest validation yet of what TARAVEST was designed to achieve. Those who dismissed the summit as an expensive showpiece can now see the credibility it has unlocked for our state,’ he stated.

He explained that the investment will finance several strategic projects, including a 10,000-hectare rice farm, a state-branded rice mill, an industrial park focused on agro-processing and logistics, and a 50-megawatt solar power plant.

‘These projects will not only reduce the import burden on food but also create jobs, boost local production, and make Taraba a hub for agribusiness and renewable energy,’ Dimas said.

He noted that the deal could inject over ?400 billion into the state’s economy through expanded business activities, tax revenues, and infrastructure growth.

‘Governor Agbu Kefas has shown that development is not built by rhetoric but by creating conditions for capital to find confidence in our soil. TARAVEST was the platform; this investment is the proof,’ the aide added.

He further stressed that the initiative signals a shift from reliance on federal allocations towards a self-sustaining, investment-driven economy.

‘For those still asking what benefit TARAVEST has brought, here is your answer: it has brought the largest foreign direct investment any Nigerian state has secured in 2025,’ the statement added.

2Face Idibia’s plan to rekindle his connection with UK fans ended on a sour note as his highly anticipated London show failed to take place.

The abrupt cancellation immediately set off a storm of reactions, with speculation and rumors overshadowing the official explanation.

The celebrated singer, who has been in the spotlight for both his personal and professional life, was at the center of fresh controversy when reports circulated that he had been arrested in the UK.

Social media platforms were awash with claims that the cancellation was linked to an altercation involving his new wife, Natasha.

The organizers of the concert remained silent in the immediate aftermath, fuelling frustration among ticket holders who had traveled and paid to see the star perform.

Many turned to social media to vent, demanding refunds and accusing both 2Face and the promoters of poor communication.

Amid the confusion, 2Face broke his silence to directly address the swirling rumour.

In a video message, he firmly denied being arrested and dismissed the reports as false.

According to him, the show could not hold because of a sudden health challenge.

‘I was not arrested. That’s a lie. I had a medical emergency, and that was why the show had to be postponed,’ he explained, while expressing regret to fans who had been left disappointed by the turn of events.

His reaction, however, has not entirely calmed the debate.

While fans expressed relief that he was not in legal trouble and wished him a quick recovery, others insisted that the lack of clear communication from the event organizers had created room for damaging speculation.

Sophia Chisom popularly known as Soso, and Okusaga Adeoluwa, widely referred to as Saga or Sagadeolu, have set social media abuzz after sparking fresh dating rumours.

The pair were recently captured in cozy pictures that left fans speculating about the true nature of their relationship.

The viral images, which have since been making the rounds online, showed the two in an intimate embrace, further fueling the conversation that something special might be brewing between them.

Fans wasted no time in drawing their own conclusions, with many insisting the duo might be more than just friends.

However, in a swift reaction to the frenzy, Saga has attempted to douse the speculation, hinting that the steamy shots were nothing more than scenes from a yet-to-be-released movie project.

According to him, people should not be too quick to assume, as what they are seeing is only part of storytelling in the entertainment world.

Saga, a former Big Brother Naija housemate who gained massive popularity from the reality show, has since ventured deeper into the creative space.

His collaborations and artistic expressions have continued to keep him in the public eye, and this new buzz with Soso has only intensified interest in his career and personal life.

On the other hand, Soso, who started out as a skit maker, has successfully transitioned into acting. Her comic flair and striking on-screen presence have earned her a fast-growing fan base.

Her appearance alongside Saga in this yet-to-be-named project has already set expectations high among viewers.

The duo’s undeniable chemistry in the viral pictures has left fans divided. While some insist the emotions captured are too real to be just acting, others believe both stars are simply doing a good job in bringing their roles to life.
