'Oloture' is my life story, Tobore Ovuorie reveals | Pulse One on One 

I just watched oloture and read her article in 2014..the producer of the movie did a great injustice not giving her credit...Her pain and anger is valid.i am pissed

This Lady hurting, the people involved should do right by her. She has a wonderful spirit

I worked for Premium Times and I remember this. She is telling the truth and this is so unfair.

No wonder they didn't know where the story ended in the film, she said she intentionally didn't put everything out. That's brilliant of her!

When it came to the movie “when they see us” the actors and producers worked closely with the victims for accurate accounts of the events, even though their story was already public, they were carried along with the making of the movie, even the press conference, premier, awards on the movie. I feel pity for this lady and if what she is saying is true this, I hope they do right by her and I wish that she eventually finds closure.

Just deeping that this happened around 2013, barely 7 years ago. She’s not talking about any 1995 situation. This is definitely still happening today!

They missed out on an enormous opportunity to tell a great story! As a writer myself, this is disheartening to say the least. You put in all your time and energy to tell a story and it gets plagiarised. She needs to be compensated. Tobore, write your book, it will travel even further, and who knows, a better and bigger conglomerate will offer to tell your story.

This here interview is 100X better than the movie. I commend you my sister, and believe GOD will move on your behalf, soon!

Tobore Ovuorie shes's a whole mood intellectual and intelligent lady just by listening to her I feel the pain and you can see she still recovering from that's trauma. Producers did the wrong most of the time they will work with the victims. because this happens to her. Tobore she's the chosen one . And somebody else came out trying to take credit for her work.that shame, and that one who came out and wanted to claim her work just show us she has done that to others before ..They have to compensate Tobore,

I feel so bad for her… I can imagine the PTSD this brought her. She re-lived this experience again. Her anger is really valid. I can imagine how she feels this way. Get your coin sis

It's a pity you went through this traumatic experience. I pray you are duly compensated. You should write a book on all these experiences including your experience with Ebony TV. It will be an interesting read.

Do you think Tobore Ovuorie deserves compensation?

God! She's been through a lot. She deserves every single penny she sued Mo.

Its high time that we start tackling this problem in society 😔

Oh God! Seeing oloture on netflix, This is so sad to watch... This lady is so vibrant, filled with great wisdom n virtues. I pray you get the justice, recognition and compensation that you deserved. Why on earth will ebonylife cut corners??? So unfair!

Such a heartbreaking experience. I really hope she gets compensated and credited as deserved. She is so intelligent and well spoken, I wish her all the best.

Her narration of the story is way better than the movie itself🙄🙄

Being a mental health nurse, I completely understood her😢. This movie has caused retraumatization on this lady. These ppl need to pay dearly.

People are expecting a part 2, they cant do it because they know just a snippet of her story. I hope they do the right thing.

This is so heart breaking to hear how you were pushed aside in your own very story. You ought to be the one holding the pen telling your own story not some others trying to take glory for what practically took everything away from you; health, part of your life, your mental reasoning etc. This is so wrong and you need to be compensated and justice has to be served. I know Tobore Mit Ovuorie in person so I know what she's saying is true... She crosses her ''t's" and dot her "i's"

Jesus....I feel broken listening to this....May God console you and win this particular battle for you

She should be compensated and ebonylife should pay big time for damages.

that's no one who has watch oloture, and not feel pity for this lady. I don't usually watch Nigeria movies, but I watched oloture, and I was stunned with this story that I don't know when tears began to drop from my eyes.

Omo, watching the movie alone made me cried and this made it worse. I am broken and speechless. The movie industry should do better, this is pure exploitation. The fact that she wasn't given the credit she deserved is a total mess.

Pulse TV please keep us updated on the progress of the court redressing abeg.

I feel terrible for her too. This is so unfair! She should be given due credit and compensated please 💔

I feel more heartbroken because we are talking about Mo Abudu and EbonylifeTV. I hold those two in high esteem!. This is all shades of wrong. How can they insinuate a cinema release with even T&C o (not agreement) then eventually turn around to make it a Netflix Orignal? They also claimed production started in 2018 but only contacted Tobore in 2019, O wrong nau! She has to get compensated and be paid for damages. Also, she was right about how the story was told though 😂. I legit had a negative review for it. So much annoying loopholes but folks are not ready for this discussion 🙄.

Im so pained watching this and big shame on Kenneth Gyang and Mo Abudu! Plagiarism is a fraud and should not be condoned. Tobore needs to be credited for her life story.She needs to call out Netflix for this to be resolved amicably. The movie needs to be brought down ASAP!!!

I’m with you my girl Tobore. Keep fighting! My prayers are with you as well.

She should write a book

She needs good lawyers, she has a very good case. It would't be easy since the system is broken and favours the rich. But I believe she can win and be compensated heavy. Mo Abudu and co shame on you!

It’s been a while, I hope they have sorted things out with her before releasing this new episode.

Please they need to come clean so you can help with the authentic story. God bless you ma'am.

For someone to go through all that trauma and others benefit from it , it's totally not fair .i pray she gets what she deserve

This is actually terrible of these producers. Absolutely disgusting. Did they really expect her to keep quiet? Very disgraceful

This leaves me shaking my head. What a shame. I really hope she gets the support to push this to the end until she gets adequately compensated.

Her one on one interview even sounds better than the movie produced🥺

God kept this lady.....

This is really deep, I will go find her article now and read it.

I can't express enough my pity and concern to this brave lady. On a good day, MoAbudu should be compensating this lady, big time! Then, in a law court, facts are discussed. First, MoAbudu claims she bought the story. The fact that MoAbudu contacted this lady prior and during the making of the movie shows that Mo isn't telling the entire truth, cos you couldn't have bought the original story and still went to the rightful owner of the story... It doesn't add up. Mo must have got extra information from this lady, and very painful enough -- claims the story was bought. That lie can't be bought by any sensible Judge. But having said that, Mo has chats with the lady, which somewhat shows there was cozy relationship up until the release of the movie on Netflix. This is where the court would side Mo. For the lady to demand compensation shows that something somehow went wrong in her relationship with Mo. I hope she gets a good lawyer to fight for her. Cos the rich can be very very greedy.

Sue Netflix as well as the filmmakers! Since they bought the "original Netflix production" tag. This is too much! It will be a PR disaster for all involved.

She should sue EbonyLife and file a proper report to Netflix. Netflix will be more responsive to her demands

I read the article on her ordeal in 2013 on premium Times if I remember correctly. When I watched Oloture I knew it was her story but I thought she must have given the story to Ebony life and was part of the movie herself. Am surprised to hear she wasn't credited, thats sad. Cos I remember this story, the difference between the movie and her story is that in the article she escaped at the border but in the movie she was caught trying to escape. Even the killings of the girl by the madam at the pool side was described in the article. Am very surprised at Ebony life but will like to hear their side of the story

This is so heartbreaking!!! May Justice prevail .

Ebony life and netflix should do the needful

If this was in another country Netflix will take down the content until this is all sorted. But na Africa lol

This is so terrible. She deserves a huge compensation. Get a good lawyer and redress it in court because it’s very clear you have a case.

and she went through all this things, they still decided to turn her pains into money, humans beings are horrible 🤦🏾

The native doctor no lie sha. This lady is trouble. The way she talks...😂😂😂😂 She's so entertaining while being so serious.

This is so sad!!! This lady better be compensated big time!!!!

She needs to be adequately compensated. Sis drag them to court they must pay. Drag them by their hair.

This is so upsetting. Can't believe i am only just finding this out after watching Oloture The Journey

Is. It possible to crowd fund and tell your own story yourself by making your own movie?

God!!!!! She's so strong. I'm speechless

She is smart she created the holes in the publication.

This is a very brilliant exposition. It is a clear case of an infringement of intellectual property rights. The movie producers were wrong to have used her real life experience without recourse to her. Legally and morally, there are clear infringements. She should take them to Court quickly and they will make moves to settle with her under favourable terms and conditions.

Naija! Every industry is corrupt, this is heartbreaking

Wow, I'm just short of words.... My prayers are with you Sis.

This is so touching! I hope she gets compensated for all her efforts...

I feel your pain,I suggest you put everything in a book and sell out the real truth,God bless your good heart.

This is heartbreaking. May God fill ur gaping heart with peace 🖤

It would be nice if Tobore writes a movie based on her experience.

This broke my heart... They need to write their wrongs and do right by this lady....

Whao! Interesting. I will stay tuned for the outcome of this story!

I really hope she gets justice and is duly compensated. This is soooo wrong and unfair, this is intellectual property theft.

And now we have Oloture the Journey 😳😳

How does one produce a movie based on a true life story of the person alive and will not give credit the the focus person? Have they not seen where biography's are made and it is stated clearly, "Based on a true life story". Is that too much to ask? This movie would have been superb if they had even inserted original clips of interviews or pictures of this woman while on the field. This is unfair. very sad. Plagiarism of the highest level of something so personal and traumatic

You went through all these haaa, and now Sharon ooja is taking all the glory, answering "best known for oloture" mtcheww, even though Ebony life paid premium times, they still have to pay this girl big time !!!

The article she wrote about her experience entitles her to copyrights and moral rights. Someone may dispute this fact and say: "1) she transferred her copyright to her employer 2) moral rights do not exist in Nigerian law." Yes in case she has transferred the copyright to her employer, she cannot claim compensation nor royalties on this basis. However, she has grounds to invoke the violation of her moral rights which are: her right to disclose the story, her right of attribution (right to be duly given credit), the right to the integrity of her work. Such rights are found in civil law countries. Yes it may sound like I am speaking Chinese to some Nigerian lawyers. But I am pretty sure Nigeria has ratified the Berne convention which enshrines moral rights. Finally, she can argue the (psychological) injury suffered, resulting from the release of her traumatic story without her consent. So this woman may have a very strong case. PS: Moral rights are not transferable and any contractual clause stating the opposite shall be null and void.

So sorry for that tobore. Is paining me here..very painful story..we the deltas we continue to pray for you.

This is like a story of her life that is nothing so close to a normal story but a serious criminal activities that involves homicide, exploitation, human trafficking, sex trafficking just name all that does exist in the underground world. What I am still baffled about is when investigative journalists are working on a top notch dangerous topic like this, do they work all alone or in conjunction with the security apparatus of the State or to what principal achievement that could make people to embark on such project, I don't want to believe it was for movie making or to benefit from the lucrative aspect of the story that is by the way because with the engagement of the security apparatus she already got all the coverage of the authenticity of her story covered that could implicate anyone that breach that rights of the intellectual property that she owned exclusively. Secondly how did the story slipped into the hand of the producer, was it duplicated from any journals or how?! coz I didn't get that part. Lastly in the real sense of the matter, why do we have these devilish, satanic, reckless inhumane people that have no respect for human lives in our society?! This is a serious problem we are dealing with in this society and it seems we are only interested in the money making of every aspects of our lives, even if it is to kill for a meager of bread there are people that are willing and on standby for it. What is wrong with us, this could happen to anyone of us but we always take everything so lightly. So seriously I am more scared of my fellow compatriots than the government we all intend to attack all the time and accused of wrongdoing. We have a long way to go in #Nigeria like so seriously.🤔🙄😱😭😭😭😭

Sister you are blessed and bigger. I hope you sue them and have been granted your desire compensation.

Watching the scene of the killing in the movie, i couldn't even take it.. I can't imagine what it would be like to her seeing it live

give her credit, what nonsense. don't give up, sue them all to court

Hmmmm I pray that the lord will restore all that you have lost

Some people will not live long because of what they do to fellow humans.

No wonder they kept us wondering what happened to her, cos they don't know the full story mtcheew

Oh she deserves compensation.... Ebony TV needs to apologize and pay hugely for what they have done

Kenneth Gyang should face the rhythm as spelt by law. He's definitely a copyright thief. This is wicked!

May God give you the strength and courage to overcome your nightmares somehow! 🙏😭❤️

This is hard to watch! Everyone involved should do the needful.

Publishers do not have perpertual rights to authors works. Its is usually time bound through a licencing or IP transfer agreement. If premium times contract with their journalists are not time bound, then they are exploiting their staff. Also if her employment contract does not state in express terms, an intellectual property transfer clause, then she has a good case. Besides that, its only morally right to compensate the author to such a sensitive topic.

If you have they copyrights to the article, then you have a fantastic cause of action in court. However, if you were an employee of premium times when you wrote the article then this is a pure case of work for hire which means premium times owns the IP for anything generated while employed. Go through your employment contract to see if there is any clause to that effect.

My heart is bleeding. Siissss ❤❤ No words

This is very very SAD ..... those people eating off her PAIN & STRUGGLES

After watching Oloture I immediately went to search if it has a part 2 or it will be out soon. Only for Google to take me to this video here. I'm disappointed! The movie could have been well-rounded if it was well collaborated. Nigerians and cutting corners sha.....

Mo has quickly gone and done interview with receipts she kept. Talking about how there was no contract. She may be big and well connected but she is profitting off people's pain and blood. Her children anf grand children will experience such. That's for sure. Zero integrity. If she was a Nigeria leadership, she will do worse. Oppression and suppression. Forget court of law, you know what is right, do It. The same way Kiki and BBC. People should just learn how to protect their intellectual properties and monetizing it. This is why employees don't like to put in their best, because they know employers are cheats! Nigerians preach religion all but are stepped in lies and cheating.

Its shameful you were treated unjustly. Set the record straight and push for your rights to the fullest.

And on top of that, threatening her Is there a way we can support you ma’am pls, we need to fight this together with you

Exploitation at its Peak! So rich people too dey thief? Nawa ooooo

May God restore all you have lost ma’am

This was so sad to watch. I completely understand why she feels so pained about what Ebony life did. I hope she got the justice she deserves

So is mama caro arrested?

true it wasn't so creative didn't end well

This woman deserves 100 million naira at the least. Still not enough but will help.

This is so terrible. I really hope she gets the justice she deserves

Heartbreaking😭...people are wicked ooo

Mo Abudu should compensate this woman. She cannot be eating another person's pain. This is not right.

I feel your pain, 😥may God Almighty juge

See Tobore has a moral justification while Mo Abudu/ ebonylife have legal justifications, they went through the righy channel which is obtaining the rights from premium times. Its sad to be honest, they should have got her involved right from the first day they conceived the idea to make the film.
