Lawyer Keyamo Blasts Governor Uduaghan

In an open letter to Delta State Governor  Emmanuel Uduaghan, Lagos-based lawyer Festus Keyamo characterized  the politician as a disgrace to governance.



Keyamo accused Uduaghan of interfering in the duties of the local electoral commission by replacing the Warri South-West candidate with the younger brother of ex-militant Tompolo, ahead of the last government chairmanship election.

The lawyer described Uduaghan’s decision as “unjust, unfair, illegal and ungodly” and urged him to immediately set up a truly independent Local Government Election Tribunal.

Nigeria Movie Producer Laments Difficulties Accessing Jonathan’s N3 billion Nollywood Fund

A Nigerian film maker, Eddie Ugbomou, on Sunday expressed concern about the stringent conditions attached to accessing the N3 billion fund for the development of film industry in Nigeria.

The fund was provided by the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2013 to help boost the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood.

 

Speaking at the ZAAFAR Film Award in London, Ugbomou said that “the process of accessing the fund is too cumbersome and film makers are discouraged to access it.

“Producers have undergone three stages of interviews where they were asked to provide various documents on their projects.

“Yet, they cannot access the loan, the sooner the authority releases the money the better; if that is done, it will boost the industry because more than 150 producers will be empowered.”

The producer also said that inadequate funding had remained a major challenge to Nollywood film producers.

“Even though Nigeria is rated as the third most valuable film industry in the world, it is difficult to breakthrough from its infancy stage.

“How can you shoot a film with N20 million and compare it with the one shot with 20 million dollars? Nollywood requires funding for it to grow,’’ he said.

The Founder Of The Household of God Church, Rev Chris Okotie, Took To Social Media To Share A Piece Dedicated To Boko Haram Insurgency In The Country.

In his Facebook message titled “Boko Haram’s horrific advance” dated November 6, Okotie asked President Goodluck Jonathan to focus on the issue until it is too late.



The clergyman started with the paragraph from the September speech by US President Barack Obama.

“‘No God condones this terror. No grievance justifies these actions. There can be no reasoning – no negotiation – with this brand of evil. The only language understood by killers like this is the language of force’ – President Barack Obama on the ISIS terrorist group.”

Okotie continued with the failed ceasefire agreement, announced October 17. It would be recalled that the alleged deal was mocked by the sect, which soon launched dire attacks and released a video debunking the existence of such an agreement.

“The Federal government’s widely publicized ceasefire agreement with the Boko Haram insurgents was met with more violent attacks, and the capture of more territories by the Islamists. Their leaders even went ahead to disavow any negotiations with our government, with a firm promise never to make peace.

“Of course, Boko Haram has made good its threat. The bombings have continued unabated; and as you read this, the North Eastern towns of Gwoza, Mubi, Michika, Gulak, Madagali, and several obscure villages are still occupied by the insurgents. During the week, Gombe and Potiskum were attacked, with a lot of casualties. Same familiar story!”

Bauchi PDP Chieftain Endorses, Campaigns For Buhari. PDP Watch Your Back This Northern's Are Not To Be Trusted

A prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Bauchi State, Alhaji Hassan Mohammed Sheri, has openly canvassed for votes for presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd).



Sheri urged his supporters to queue behind the aspiration of the former head of state to become Nigeria’s president come 2015 general elections.

Sheri, said to be a close associate of the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, described Buhari as the most credible among those aspiring to lead the country in the current dispensation.

He spoke at a press conference in Bauchi on Tuesday.

He described Buhari as “an exemplary leader”, a selfless leader, who maintained his integrity despite the various positions he has held in Nigeria.

“If it is for money Buhari would have amassed wealth more than any Nigerian because he had held other lucrative positions that many Nigerians were not opportune to, that could have enriched him”, he stated.

“Let me tell you categorically that I’m 100 percent in support of Buhari presidency come 2015 and therefore appeal to all Nigerians to ensure his victory at the polls”, he said.

Sheri, however, stressed that he remains a member of the PDP, despite his views.

Fellow Nigerians Do You Agree With What Atiku Says That Whoever Emerges As APC Flag Bearer Is Better Than Jonathan

A former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, on Tuesday, said all the presidential aspirants on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, are far better than President Goodluck Jonathan.



“Any of the APC aspirants is better than Jonathan; whoever wins the party primary is better than President Jonathan”, Atiku said in Minna, Niger State at the public declaration of Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah for the presidency.

Describing the LEADERSHIP group founder as a “personal friend”, the former vice president, who is also seeking the presidential ticket of the APC, disclosed that he and the other four aspirants had agreed to back whoever emerges as the flag bearer during the primary election in order to bring an end to the Jonathan administration.

He added, “We are united. We have resolved to support whoever emerges. We are not fighting each other; that is why I am here today. Our target is to rescue the country from the misrule of the PDP”.

The former VP, who earlier received a backlash from the Presidency over his comment that the worsening state of insecurity could be attributed to a leadership deficit in the country, decried the state of the nation under the PDP, saying that it had been grounded to a halt.

I Would Rather Watch Grass Grow Than Watch BBA: Vera Sidika

It’s now clear that a lot of people are now bored out by the annual reality TV show — Big Brother Africa.
This time, it’s controversial Kenyan model, Vera Sidika that has something to say about the show.



Vera has described watching ongoing popular reality TV show, BBHotshots, as a waste of her precious time after tagging the continental show as ‘boring’.

With Kenyan representatives, Sabina Stadler and Melvin Alusa evicted from BBHotshots, the video vixen has condemned the two contestants for falling to prove themselves and make their country proud.
In a recent article published on Nairobi Wire, the curvaceous Vera, widely known for flaunting her b**bs, said:‘Kenyans don’t have strategy; they just go like if they are going to the market to buy onions and tomatoes. Prezzo had strategy, BBA is a game. You need a game plan; you need to be very calculative. Most contestants just go freestyle.’

Not done, she added: ‘I have studied Kenyans and realized, Kenyans don’t give a f..k if you’re not a celeb, they will only watch u if you are somebody, look at Prezzo’s year, almost everyone watched, even Uhuru talked about him. Controversial people give you the urge to watch and see what they will do next, his or her lifestyle, how does he sleep, eat, shower, get dressed e.t.c.

‘I would rather watch grass grow than watch BBA. So boring, they are old housemates and ugly, you don’t even want to watch shower hour.’

Jim Iyke gives reasons why joining politics, but for the right reasons but do you guys think so

Whoop, Jim Iyke has joined the league of entertainers who have embraced politics to make more money

But in his own case however, he isn’t contesting for a political post.




The Nollywood actor who knows how to create and put an end to his own controversies, is now a member of newly registered Young Democratic Party and he has been appointed as its Director General in the Diaspora. Explaining that the vision of the party is to empower and promote Nigerian youths within and outside the shore of the country, Jim in an interview with Daily Independent,  said thus:

“We just want to say enough is enough. It is time power and our policies shift hands to fresher minds, to stronger fortes, to people that are ready to move with the momentum of time, tide and changes. But it cannot be conceivable if you are saddled in that position for over two decades? How can you grow? How can you go with the tide of time? Biologically too, time will catch up with you because you are growing old in that position.(continue)….

“Look at advanced countries of the world, and take a close look at people that have moved forward, these are people who have put things in place so that changes will be constant. Refreshment of minds, ideas, psychology, idiosyncrasies will be constant except for Nigeria.

“The same circle of people that governed us 20 years ago are the same people who are still ruling us, what are they still doing there? So many of them are in their 80s, grandfathers by all rights! Are they not tired? Suffering and smiling has become our motto, our slogan”,

Diver Encounters Giant 20-Foot Anaconda

While diving deep within the rivers of the Brazilian rain forest, wildlife expert Franco Banfi encountered a huge anaconda that would have sent your average diver swimming for the shore.

 

 

The massive green anaconda was estimated by some to be 26 foot long…which if that’s true… that would make it one of the biggest snakes in the world as the Guinness book of records has the world’s longest snake in captivity at 25 feet. 

Okey Bakassi Also Speaks On BON Controversy

More  drama and controversy continues to trail the Best Of Nollywood Awards (BON) held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Thursday, October 16, 2014, after actor and producer, Elvis Chuks said some Nollywood figures were not treated with respect and courtesy, lashing out at Governor Amaechi and the award organizers in the process.




The main organizer of the awards, Seun Oloketuyi has responded, hitting back at Elvis Chuks and blogger Linda Ikeji.

Comedian Okey Bakassi has joined those making their voices heard on the matter, addressing reports flying around about Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi’s speech at the event.

He said: ‘The Best of Nollywood Awards in Port Harcourt on Thursday, 16-10-14 was a success. Except a few technical problems, the event was fun. It was good to meet show biz and media friends. I got the Award for Best Movie Actor(Igbo). Thanks to the organizers of B.O.N Awards. I appreciate the level of support the Rivers State Government gave the Organizers and thanks to Gov Chibuike Amaechi for staying up with Nollywood till about 2 am when the event ended. What is shocking to me is reading in the blog the next day that Gov Amaechi insulted Nollywood. A story that is false and completely taken out of context. 

It’s either the author of the mischievous story didn’t attend the event or went with a different agenda. I hate when people vilify genuine supporters of Nollywood just to score cheap political goals. 

“Police Must Kill the Dogs that Attacked Me” – Omonigho Abraham

Children will always be children... Omonigho Abraham the young boy that was attacked by their neighbors dogs, here is what the young man as to say.

Omonigho Abraham, the 4-year-old boy who was attacked by two dogs in the Igando area of Lagos State, has said the police and the government must ensure that the dogs that almost took his life are killed.



The little boy, who is in the Burns and Plastic Ward of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, told PUNCH Metro yesterday that he would not return home until the dogs were dead.

Narrating his ordeal, Omonigho, who still had a bandaged head, said he had tried to run from the dogs when they started to attack him but he was overwhelmed.

  “I was playing with my brothers when the dogs entered our flat. I could not jump, so they
    bit my head. I pinched Gaddafi (one of the dogs), but he did not leave me. It was when I heard the voice of my mummy that I woke up. I want them to kill the dogs; I won’t return home.”

PUNCH reports that the young boy, whose face was still marred with signs of the attack, wore a sad
countenance when he saw the gory pictures of his torn head on his father’s phone. He later started playing games on the smart phone.

A worker in the ward who said the boy’s health had improved compared to when he was admitted said:

    “The day they brought him here remains unforgettable for me. I couldn’t eat throughout that day because he looked horrible.”

PUNCH Metro had first reported that Omonigho’s scalp was bitten off by two dogs in their neighbourhood, while he played with his brothers. Residents of the area and some policemen who besieged the scene of the incident had done nothing to rescue him until his mother, Mrs. Abraham  arrived, fought off the dogs and snatched her son from their jaws.

Omonigho’s father, Mr. Odiah, who was angry that the police claimed to have saved the boy berated the police for failing to rescue his son. According to him, the police are attempting to muddle up the investigations. He told PUNCH Metro that he even got a call from the Divisional Crime Officer of the Igando Police Station asking him to come and “order the release of the dogs to their owner”.

He said:
