What happened between Collins Archie Pearce and Henrietta Mbawah
What happened between Mr Collins and Etta on set for the movie titled “Unpredictable Enemies”? According to Henrietta Mbawah (Etta), on a post she made on Facebook few days ago (though post have been deleted) claimed that Mr Collins, the producer of the movie owes her $2000 and she requested for her money to be paid.
After several outbursts on the media of this said drama Mr Collins and team has decided to respond to Etta post on Facebook and to clear his name. According to Ibrahim Prosper a blogger and friend to both parties published what happened on his website to clarify the other side of the story.
Read below
1) Etta was contracted to feature in Mr Collins Archie-Pearce’s film and signed both the Actor’s Contract and Non-Disclosure Agreement. She breached both the Actor’s contract and Non-Disclosure Agreement respectively. According to the Actor’s contract, if an actor fails to complete the scenes allocated to him/her, he/she will not be paid or compensated. I would like to bring to the notice of the public that Etta walked out on Mr Collins Archie-Pearce’s set leaving about 10 scenes undone, thereby failing to complete the scenes allocated to her. She has been intimidating other actors on set including the Production Manager to the extent that she demanded that the Production Manager be sacked before she would return to the set. Mr Collins Archie-Pearce had no choice but to ask the Producer Manager to set aside and got the Assistant Production Manager to take over the role. Also, because of Etta’s constant not going on set without any reason for not reporting on the days she should be on set, it happened that there was no shooting for 7 days and this consequently set the production backwards by a week.
One of the post Etta made on Facebook
2) Etta has never reported at the location on time. She would get to the location over 2 hours late and then takes over an hour to do her make-up, thereby holding the production for over 3 hours waiting on her. This also breached the Actor’s contract and also caused other actors to be impatient and extremely upset.
3) Etta lied about payment agreement with Mr Collins Archie-Pearce. She stated that the amount Mr Collins Archie-Pearce agreed to pay her was $2,000 dollars which is a big lie. The amount was $200 and on 3 different voice note /audio, she confirmed that the agreed amount was $200 and she even mentioned in two of the 3 audios that she isn’t doing it for the money but to support Mr Collins Archie-Pearce as he’s doing the film to promote Sierra Leone. There is no time in any of the audio that giving $200 for fuel was mentioned. This is not good for her reputation as this shows that she is a liar and not to be trusted.
4) Even tough she has breached the Actor’s contract, Mr Collins Archie-Pearce agreed to pay her 50% of the agreed amount ($100) when she requested for it, stating that she has done over 50% of her scenes and that she should be paid before she could continue to go on set.
5) Because she didn’t complete her allocated scenes, thereby breaching the Actor’s contract, and also made it difficult for the film to be completed, this caused a lot problems to get the film completed and as a last resort (after lots of actors and crew members have begged her to complete her scenes and she refused) and Mr Collins Archie-Pearce had to tweak the scripts so that the storyline would still make scenes without the scenes that Etta had failed to do. This in return costs Mr Collins Archie-Pearce time and lots of money.
It would be nice for you all to know that Etta, after signing the Non-Disclosure Agreement, secretly recorded scenes on set, went on social media and posted almost a dozen of video footages (with audio) of scenes of the film, thereby leaking out not only the storyline, but also the end part of the film which includes the twist to the storyline. This is a huge breach of the Non-Disclosure Agreement and also diluted the quality of the film which is meant to be put on Netflix. When Mr Collins Archie-Pearce asked her to take the video footages down from Facebook but she refused to do so and further challenged Mr Collins Archie-Pearce to do whatever he wants to do and that she’s waiting.
Instead her taking the video footages down as requested, and to wind Mr Collins Archie-Pearce up, she then demanded her remaining $100 balance of the agreed payment for her services, even though she didn’t complete her scenes thereby breaching the Actor’s Agreement and also breached the Non-Disclosure Agreement. Mr Collins Archie-Pearce, who is a man of principle, decided to act according to the actor’s contract by refusing to pay her the remaining 50% payment until she takes those footages down on Facebook. In return, Etta started insulting Mr Collins Archie-Pearce, calling him name and started insulting his mother.
There are over 6 audio recording of Etta raining abuses on Mr Collins Archie-Pearce’s mother. She refused to mention that on her post, but lied to the public that when she asked Mr Collins Archie-Pearce for her remaining balance, he started abusing her mother, which is the other way round. There are also lots of WhatsApp messages revealing some of the abuses she wrote referencing Mr Collins Archie-Pearce’s mother.
I have evidence to prove all that I’ve said and to debunk what Etta has posted on social media.
For your information, Mr Collins Archie-Pearce paid all the actors on his set (even the extra) that completed their scenes and even gave lots of actors and crew members bonuses after the completion of the film. There’s evidence that he gave his PA almost 7 million Leones (after paying her for her job as a PA), just to say “Thank You” for her role in making the project a success.
Lots of other crew members got over well a million Leones (on top of their payments) as a token of appreciation.
No one can put a good man down. Mr Collins Archie-Pearce is not only a great man, but a role model and a man with a good heart.
The truth shall set you free.
Petition to disqualify Julie Tombo and Lady Nata out of Housemates Salone
Dis game get yagba o
A journalist is making a petition against Julie Tombo and Lady Nata to be disqualified from the Housemates Salone Season3 competition. According to the journalist named Editayo George Temple, the reason for the petition is for misbehaviour and public nuisance that happened between the potential two contestants. The incident happened on Monday at Krootown Road in Freetown. There is a video going around on social media where Lady Nata is saying Julie asked her fans to pour water on her and insulted her and also she went to that area to “borbor” Julie. Based on comments online, some are saying Krootwon is Julie’s territory therefore if Lady Nata is not looking for a fight or any issues what is she doing in that area to campaign for her Housemates journey?
The journalist is now calling on Africell, AYV and the organisers of the show to disqualified both candidates from the show. This petition came just few days that could potentially harm their chances of entering the house or continue in the Housemates Salone competition.

I founded the business in December 2020 and has since grown to 16 brands, 200+ products and featured on BBC1’s “The Apprentice”, The Independent and Evening Standard. Having bought a bad piece of sportswear, I embarked on a journey to showcase brands doing better in the space and launched Lockr Space.

3. Where are you from? London

6. Who is your inspiration/inspirations? My main role model is Barack Obama. I try to emulate all the qualities that made him successful as I believe we have a similar personality type.
7. What would you say is your proudest moment to date? My proudest moment to date was launching my business. Although the Apprentice was a fantastic achievement, it was only made possible by the success that Lockr Space has achieved in only over a year. It’s been a difficult road with many bumps but extremely fulfilling to see what I have managed to create.
8. Why do you apply for the apprentice show? I applied to the Apprentice for two main reasons: to showcase my personal brand and build Lockr Space. Unfortunately I did not secure Lord Sugar’s investment but the show has allowed me to complete the two things above.
9. Tell us about your apprentice journey: I applied for the show last summer as I wanted to scale up my business Lockr Space. After getting accepted, I knew I was in for a wild ride and it was as I had some incredible experiences with all the tasks and more challenging ones being in the boardroom. Being in the bottom 3 in the first episode was the most challenging moment I had as I came so close to leaving the process in the first episode. Ever since then, I knew I had to really prove what I was capable of doing and I started to grow in the process, winning tasks and proving my impact in the team.
10. What week were you evicted out of the show? Week 10 in a double firing after a task to create baby food.

13. What would you say for people that wants to apply for the show? Do it! It is a once in a lifetime experience that cannot be replicated. Stay true to yourself and be your authentic self. I am sure they receive many people who act too hard or pretend to be characters that they aren’t.
14. What is next for you and what do you plan to do next? I am focusing on building my presence in the sports industry as I continue to build Lockr Space. I am also planning on building the team and secure investment for the business too so that we can continue growing the number of brands, partnerships and marketing activity we are doing.
15. What is your future goal say in the next five years to come? My main goal is to build Lockr Space to a billion pound company that is the main hub for sportswear in the UK.

First Sierra Leonean movie aiming to be aired on Netflix
One of Sierra Leone’s biggest international Film Producers Ambassador Collins Archie-Pearce, who is based in the UK, is yet to arrive in Sierra Leone to shoot a Sierra Leonean blockbuster film, titled “Unpredictable Enemies”, aiming to be aired on Netflix platform. If successful, a Sierra Leonean film would now be on the highest international platform in the world and would be viewed by millions of people across the globe who don’t know about Sierra Leone and it’s beautiful landmarks/culture.
Ambassador Collins Archie-Pearce emphasised that, it has always been his intention ever since he was awarded “Diaspora Movie Ambassador“ for Sierra Leonean films in the UK in 2015, to put his beloved country on the map, as the world doesn’t know us in terms of entertainment (especially film making) and also to let the world see the beauty of Mama Salone.
He decided to form a WhatsApp group in relation to the project, thereby including over 80 Sierra Leonean actors across the country in the group, aiming to give all of them a roles in the aforementioned film. He stated that this would not only give them jobs, but would also give them international recognition and an opportunity to showcase their individual talents outside the shores of Sierra Leone.
In order for the film to gain easy access to the Netflix platform, he was strongly advised to include at least one established “A” class Nollywood/Nigerian actor in the film amongst other criteria such as using Netflix recommended camera(s), good storyline and proper sound system.
He is pleased to inform Sierra Leoneans that he has contracted one of the biggest Nollywood actors to feature in the film by the name of Ken Erics, who should be arriving in Sierra Leone by the end of this month. Ambassador Collins Archie-Pearce should be arriving in Sierra Leone on the 22nd of this month and intends to start production immediately after.

Getting to Zero Out of School Children in Sierra Leone says David Sengeh
Public education on Public Education: Getting to Zero Out of School Children in Sierra Leone
On the side lines of the Doha Forum, Sierra Leone has taken huge steps to universal primary school education.
Today, I signed an MoU on behalf of the Government that will ensure the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD) provides support for 45,000 learners in Sierra Leone. This project will be implemented by the NGO Street Child on behalf of the government. The signing was done with Mr. Khalifa Al-Kuwari, the Director General of QFFD, as the Qatar Minister of Education and the CEO of Education Above All Foundation (EAA), watched.
Immediately after, we had a strategic meeting with the Director of EAA’s Educate a Child program, Dr Mary Pigozzi. We officially agreed to make Sierra Leone a Zero Out of School country partner. This means we are committing to developing a program supported by EAA, which will lead to universal access to primary school in Sierra Leone. The leadership of EAA will visit us in May to move the program along.
On my delegation also is Mr Mohamed Shaw- the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Basic and Senior Secondary Education. I believe it is imperative to collaborate across the government if we are to achieve our national development goals.
At Doha, I have also also gotten to connect with my dear friends and colleagues, including H.E Paula Ingabire, the Minister of ICT and Innovation from Rwanda. Paula is opening a center for 4IR in Kigali next week. I am proud of her work.
Yesterday, as Co-Chair of the UN Secretary General’s Transforming Education Summit Advisory Committee, we facilitated a discussion with 7 ministers of Education to develop a framework for national consultations and education financing.
Sierra Leone is doing this while laying the foundation and digging the well for quality education to flow. This week, we endorsed the Implementation Plan for Radical Inclusion with our partners. And this follows our Out of School Children strategy validated last week and our ongoing dissemination of the SSS curriculum.
Change is possible. Change is hard, but by God’s power, change is coming.

Aspiring Housemates Salone Season 3 Contender Julie Tombo
Meet aspiring Housemates Salone Season 3 Contender Hassanatu Julie Conteh aka Julie Tombo the Yagba Diva. This vivacious personality has already won the heart of the viewers who have already started calling themselves Team Tombolistics.
The beautiful Julie is a mother to six adorable children all residing with her in the United States of America. She’s contesting to be part of the most eagerly anticipated reality show ever in Sierra Leone Housemates Salone Season 3.
This year in particular has had so much buzz and online hype it’s unbelievable and already has not gone without its own share of drama, saga, publicity stunts, complete madness compared to the other seasons. This season has also been the most talked about reality show ever and one reason for that is mostly because of Julie. She is such an unforgettable character that everyone who meets her wants to know her more and see what she’s upto next?
In case you are wondering where the name TOMBOLISTICS comes from, here is a little some back story…. Julie took the name Tombo fondly known as team Tombolistics from a popular Sierra Leonean footballer named Musa Kamara or aka Musa Tombo. The story goes that one day his wife Hawa Kamara made a viral video post on social media that she no longer wanted to remain married to the famous Sierra Leonean footballer Musa Tombo and that she was divorcing him.
However less than an hour after posting the video Hawa came back on social media stating she was only joking and it was all a prank. Well Hawa it may have been too late the damage was already done especially shortly after her husband said something different in another video drama which went viral where he said he will not marry Julie type because she has six children.
Amidst the drama of the Tombo’s a pressing question many have asked is whether Julie has the right to use the name Tombo as her stage name. I will leave you to be a judge of that, but if I must say the average Sierra Leonean would argue that the name TOMBO doesn’t belong to Musa Tombo or his wife however Tombo is in fact a name of a place in Sierra Leone and so should Julie wish to use the name she has every common right to do so.
Let me just add for Julie this is all in the name of promotion, a strategy for the Housemates Salone competition and all she is doing is wearing her business cap and owning this. She sees using the name Tombo as an opportunity to get supporters and part of her Housemates Salone journey.
Even though the name has been causing a lot of social media outburst, drama and attention I would say its a very clever move which will gain Julie a lot of supporter’s and possibly win the show.
Julie is a very hard working individual, very outspoken, confident, an entrepreneur owning a fashion brand in America called Jujunova. Julie have been through so much in life especially at a young age making her one of the youngest mother at age 14. Despites all her challenges and difficulties she’s determined to make success of herself and her kids.
About Julie
Age 29 soon to hit the BIG 30!! The possibility of a better life for her and her children is the motivation for her going into the house. Therefore she has so much banking on entering the house and she needs all your support.
When Julie wins Housemates Salone season 3 competition it will give her the chance to empower herself and of course her children, but also Julie wants to empower other young mothers who have been victims of stigmatisation. She also aims to raise awareness on early teenage pregnancies and educate young Women and Men on the importance of safe sex. She’s therefore calling on the public and Sierra Leoneans to join her in her pledge to enter the Housemates Salone season 3 House by voting for #teamtombolistic Aka Julie Tombo!
