"Nigerian movie producers are all beggars" - Aremu Afolayan
"Nigerian movie producers are not celebrities in Nigeria. We are just traders. We produce movies and give them to marketers who pay us what they like. Forget those of us that drive big cars. Ask them if they bought the cars with money realised from sale of the movies. It is our fans that feed us. We are all beggars. I own big cars, but I will still tell you that I don’t have money. Fans help us. They call us and tell us they like our movie and ask us to send our bank account number." Actor/producer Aremu Afolayan, was quoted as saying in an interview with Punch today.

69yr old man slaughtered and dismembered over land in Anambra
It may take a long while before the lingering crisis between the Umumerenze Umuezebikogu Umuagu clans and their Umuduruekwe counterparts in Anambra State could get any headway. This is hinged more on the alleged murder of one of the principal actors in the dispute, a Francis Ohanebo. For 30 years now, the above families have been engaged in a feud over the ownership of a land in the area but the feud got to a head on Friday, February, 10, 2012.
On that fateful day, the late Ohanebo, 69, was resting in his compound around 8:00 pm, when no fewer than 10 men jumped in, wielding various dangerous weapons. Ohanebo, though reportedly waved their threats aside insisting that his lineage owned the disputed portion of land, his attackers however, were not ready to exchange hot words with him. They already had their briefs. While the old man was trying to raise the alarm, the assailants reportedly swooped on him and inflicted series of cuts on his fragile body.
Ohanebo was thus murdered in his compound in the full glare of some of his hapless relatives.

Two Brides and a Baby: Our Side of the Story - Silverbird Cinemas
Defamatory allegations of fraud against Silverbird Cinemas by Mrs Blessing Effiom Egbe with respect to the Movie - Two Brides and a Baby - The true position
It has come to our attention that a certain Mrs. Blessing Effiom Egbe has been making disparaging allegations of fraud and unethical practices against Silverbird Cinemas with respect to the exhibition of the movie ‘Two Brides and a Baby’ which was produced by her. The said Mrs. Egbe has gone to the extent of issuing a press statement dated 28/02/2012 and titled ‘Notification of scam and impending lawsuit’. She has also engaged in a campaign of calumny against Silverbird Cinemas on different social media geared towards inciting public hatred against Silverbird Cinemas. It has therefore become necessary to set the records straight in the face of what is obviously cheap blackmail by Mrs. Egbe.

A UK Journalist's review of the just concluded Arise Fashion Week
Oh boy, one oyibo woman has finished us sha! lol. She is a UK journalist invited to cover the Arise Magazine Fashion Week which just ended and her review/observations which can be found on her page on the UK Guardian website, was mostly unflattering. Find some quotes from her article below...
Glamour is something the women of Lagos do inimitably; their dresses come in fabrics the colours of the rainbow. Their nails - long and sculpted – are covered in jewels the colours of the ocean.
You have never seen traffic until you go to Lagos in Nigeria. Here, a scheduled 10-minute journey can take well over an hour. Cars form giant segmented beasts that chug along the potholed roads at glacial speed among packed buses and open-backed trucks with dozens of construction workers riding them like surfboards.Lol. I laughed after reading this article. Oyibo people say it as they see it. No famzing at all. Continue to read the full article...

Abstain from sex with someone you are about to marry? Erm, are you not supposed to test the goods before buying? lol. I'm kidding oh. Before some people start abusing me now. Abstaining is highly commendable!
