A popular Yoruba comic actor, Mr Tolani Quadri Oyebamiji, otherwise known as Sisi Quadri, has died, according to reports.
However, the cause of his death is still unclear as of the time of filing this report.
There are speculations that he briefly fell ill before his passing, though he was seen publicly some months ago with a fellow comic actor, Sanusi Izihaq, who is well-known as Apa or Apankufor.
Sisi Quadri, who died at the age of 44, was recently gaining fresh public attention with his comic act with Apa and others.
His demise has hit the movie industry in Nigeria with shock, with some of his fans mourning his death.
He first gained wide admiration in the 2004 film titled Seniyan Seranko and his last major film was in the recently premiered Anikulapo: The Return of Spectre by Kunle Afolayan. Before his death, he featured in some skits, including with Mr Marcaroni.

Heartbeat Finale: Who Found Love, Who Lost It, and Who Almost Had It
From day one in the Love Pad, Heartbeat gave us everything; instant attractions, messy triangles, soft moments, hot arguments, and connections that kept switching lanes when we least expected them. Now, after all the chaos, the final episode came down to one thing: who is actually ready to choose love for real?
If you remember how it all started, Kena and Chidera were one of the first “locked-in” connections. Even when new singles walked in, and Kena became the house favourite, Chidera made it clear, not on her watch. From the roses’ apology to that whole Jane situation that had Chidera raging, their bond was constantly tested. But the finale didn’t care about history. It came with real questions about compatibility, intentions, and life outside the Love Pad. At that point, it was no longer about feelings, it was about alignment.
Then there’s Ken and Latifah. If there’s any couple that defined chaos this season, it’s them. From cuddling like nothing happened after fights, to the dinner date drama, to that moment he lied about production setting things up (we have not forgotten), these two gave us a full rollercoaster. Even when Ken tried to “fix things” with breakfast in bed, the trust had already taken hits. So when it came down to the final decision, the real question was: was this love, or just something they kept going back to?
Igwe and Shekinah? Still one of the most confusing dynamics in the house. From flirting, to tension, to Shekinah defending him when everyone said he was playing games, to the moment she found out he had written letters to multiple women, it was always something. Even when he tried to reassure her, there was always that small doubt. So when the finale tests came in, it was time to see if what they had was actually solid or just vibes.
And let’s not forget how everything shifted when the new singles entered. From Ceeoni’s unexpected revelation that she and Henry were exes, to Jane boldly saying she was still coming for Kena, to Victory, Timi, Sharon and Bosa all bringing new energy, the house never stayed the same. Some connections grew stronger under pressure, others didn’t survive it.
But the finale? That’s where everything got real.
The couples were put through final compatibility tests, not just games, but moments that forced them to answer difficult questions about trust, commitment, and how well they actually know each other. Some couples faced these moments together, standing strong and showing they were on the same page. Others? The cracks showed, and certain decisions had to be made individually, which said a lot without saying too much.
But when it was time for the final decision, Heartbeat didn’t hold back. The couples were first hit with a lie detector test, and that alone shook the entire Love Pad. Chidera and Kena had to face some hard truths when Kena said he had never thought about breaking up with her, only for the machine to call it false. He also admitted he still misses his ex, and that came out true. On the other side, Ceeoni and Alvin also had their moment when she confirmed she had a child outside the Love Pad, something that instantly shifted the energy between them. After all that, emotions were high, but the show didn’t slow down.
At the Heartbeat Commitment, the real verdicts came in. Kena and Chidera still chose each other despite everything. Igwe and Shekinah are locked in and are ready to see where things go, while Bosah and Hilda, Ken and Latifah, and Victory and Toria have also decided to continue their connections outside the house. The only pair that didn’t commit was Alvin and Ceeoni, who made it clear they’re not there yet. With earlier exits like Jane, Timi, Sharon and Henri, not everyone made it to this stage, but by the end, it was clear who came for vibes and who was actually ready for something real.
Heartbeat may be over, but the drama, the debates, and the “did they really make the right choice?” moments are far from done. The finale gave us truths, tears, and tough decisions, but it also left us asking: what happens next for these couples outside the Love Pad?
If you’re not ready to let go of the chaos, there’s still plenty to keep you hooked. From the twists in Wura, to the high-stakes drama of Dividends, and the unfiltered excitement of Stripped, your screen is far from quiet.

From E! Africa to Bravo Africa: Where Your Favourite Reality Shows Live Now
If you’ve been wondering where all your favourite reality TV shows went after E! Africa went off air, this is for you! Bravo Africa is officially the new plug.
In late August 2025, E! Africa announced it would be discontinuing, with the channel set to go dark on October 7, 2025. For fans who had built their entire reality TV routine around it, the news hit hard. But the gap didn’t stay empty for long.
Bravo Africa stepped in on GOtv Channel 36 with something even better. A fully dedicated space for premium, drama-filled reality television. And if you’re a fan of bold personalities, luxury lifestyles, and unfiltered storytelling, this is one channel you should already have on rotation.
So, what exactly makes Bravo Africa worth your time?
First, the content lineup is stacked. From the iconic Real Housewives franchise, with all its glam, shade, and unforgettable moments, to fan favourites like Below Deck and Married to Medicine, Bravo Africa delivers the kind of addictive TV that keeps you glued episode after episode. It’s the same high-quality reality content E! lovers enjoyed, just more focused and consistently curated.
What also stands out is how the channel leans fully into reality TV culture. This isn’t a mix-and-match entertainment channel; it knows its audience and delivers exactly what they want: drama, relationships, ambition, luxury, and real-life chaos (the good kind).
For viewers who loved E! Africa’s blend of lifestyle and celebrity-driven content, Bravo Africa feels like a natural transition. It’s cleaner, more intentional, and built around shows that already have global fanbases and proven engagement.
Access is pretty straightforward, too. If you’re on GOtv Jolli or any higher package, you already have it, no extra stress, no additional subscription needed.
