Filmmaker and actress Omoni Oboli has publicly lauded her actors Michael Dappa and Ekama Etim Inyang for their exceptional talent and professionalism.

“Micheal and Ekama, this is from my heart. I love you both so deeply, so truly. Watching you grow and step fully into your calling is one of my greatest joys,” she wrote. “Your talent is undeniable, but even more beautiful is your character, your loyalty, your humility, and your work ethic.”
Oboli specifically acknowledged Michael Dappa’s gift for bringing truth and depth to every role. “Michael, you have a gift that speaks so loud without trying. You bring heart into everything you do, and it shows. I am so proud of the man and artist you are becoming,” she added.
She also praised Ekama Etim Inyang for her gentle yet powerful presence, sincerity, and commitment to her craft. “Ekama, your light is gentle but so powerful. You bring warmth and joy into every space. You give of yourself wholeheartedly and are an absolute blessing to work with,” Oboli wrote.
