MIKE EZURONYE QUOTE!

This here is Nigeria's 2007 best actor. His name is Mike Ezuronye.

Hear him...

Family background

"I am the eldest son with four siblings. My father was a successful industrialist and disciplinarian. For my secondary education, I went to Federal Government College Wukari, in the former Gongola State, now Taraba State and Later, Archbishop Aggey Memorial Secondary School, Lagos State. For my University education I attended Federal Polytechnic Oko, Anambra State and Nnamdi Azikiwe University where I bagged a degree in Accounting.

How he got into the movie industry

"I met Ruke Amata at a fuel station in 2003 and he encouraged me to go into acting. I simply told him I had no time because at this time I was busy with my computer accessories business. We eventually produced a TV series which did not see the light of day. Later I met Dickson Iroegbu who starred me in the movie entitled 'Mayors 1'. Few weeks later I was called by Emem Isong who starred me in 'Critical Decision' which brought me to limelight"

On not being in a serious relationship

"I am anticipating better things to come in the nearest future which includes settling down. But I don't have any serious relationship with any woman at the moment. The best that has happened is that ladies love me and I reciprocate the gesture. I see marriage as a serious institution so I am not ready to make mistakes"

How many people like this guy or his acting?

SET'S DILEMMA

Hi guys, I am a passionate person. I like people in general and the ones I love and call loved ones and care about, I really do care and am protective of them. I am almost always brought to tears every time I see poverty in Africa on TV. I watched America Idols, 'Idol gives back' last night and I am still surprised, hurt and broken everytime I see poverty in Africa.

I have seen this stuff first hand, I am African, but fortunate one. I am still blown away man. I am hurt by it, I am kinda helpless and it hurts. I gave back and have been working with an Orphanage for about 8 yrs now in Liberia. I have done other work with other the less fortunate cases, but it is not enough, for I don't have a lot to give.

We all can give back in our simpliest ways and make a big difference in our community and Africa, but we don't. We could start with one person, pay an unfortunate child's school fees, Help a sick people in need of Malaria (# 1 killer in all of Africa) treatment at your local clinics.

There is always someone almost at death due to no money for treatment. Do this a few times a year, buy Mosquito nets, you will be surprised how much this will do. And the thing is that they are cheap ass treatments too. I am going to do something about this in my own way I will try, in God I will. You too guys can, it will make you a better person inside and out.

Ok, I am mad and have vented, So the question is: What will you do if your best friend, your sister or brother was about to date someone you have reservations/concerns about? Would you tell them your concerns before they start dating or wait until things goes wrong before you say what your reservations/concerns are?

Thanks Guys.

ARMED ROBBERY ON EKO BRIDGE

At about 8pm tonight, I was heading home to Surulere from a fashion show rehearsal I had on the Island. Usually when I have to go to the Island (Victoria and Ikoyi), I don't go with my car, 'cos most times I leave late and I'm not very comfortable driving by myself at night, so I usually take a cab.

But today a colleague was going with me and the plan had been that we'll come back to Surulere together when we were through. But midway into the rehearsal, my dear friend disappeared. When I called him, he gave some flimsy excuse of why he had to leave early, but thankfully for me, there were two models who were headed my way. So at about 7:45, we got in my car to get back to Surulere.

Usually when I'm driving at night, I don't turn on the radio, the music kinda distracts me, but this night one of the models insisted on listening to music, so I had no choice but to turn on the radio. Just less than two minutes of tuning to Rhythm 93.7, an announcement came warning road users to avoid Eko Bridge, because there was an armed robbery operation going on in a traffic jam on the bridge. They also called on the police to go over there and help out.

By now I was just leaving kingsway Road Ikoyi heading towards the bridge. To say my heart almost stopped is an understatement. I was shaking like fish that couldn't breath. I had to stop the car to catch my breath. Eventually when I found strenght, I managed to reverse the car and head back towards Ikoyi. I stopped at the first eatery I found and parked.

I had no plans of crossing that bridge tonight, I couldn't drive across it even if I tried. The fact that a robbery had taken place there made it impossible for me to even consider going home this night. One of the girls suggested calling a friend who was in the army to come escort us, I looked at her and said even if King Leonidas and the 300 soldiers offered to escort us, nothing would make me cross that bridge tonight. My whole being had been affected by what I'd heard on the radio. Me and armed robbers don't understand each other in anyway.

I'd had an encounter with armed robbers in 2002 when Usher was here for a concert. I'd gone to see him with a friend and my younger sister. Four armed robbers attacked my car, took all three phones, messed my spirit up...that's a story for another day.

Anyway, I decided to go stay over at a friend's place on the Island. The two girls braved it and took a cab home at around 10:00 tonight. It's about eleven, I'm still waiting to hear they got home safely.

How armed robbers will have the guts to rob vehicles in a traffic jam is beyond me. Do you know how many cars they'll have to rob? Traffic in Lagos is crazy. How many robbers could there have been? And where were the police? I later heard Rhythm had been making the announcement since 7:50, I heard it at about 8:07pm.

I don't know what happened on that bridge tonight. Hopefully no one was hurt.

But its sad that we are not safe on our Lagos roads. Really sad!

They said he might be stepping out of the music scene for a while to pursue contracts as initiated by his wife who has already started introducing him to those that matter in Abuja. All I'll say here is that I hope Dare married for love. Any other reason besides love is not good enough for marriage.

If you want to end a relationship with a long-time partner, how do you do it? What do you say without hurting their feelings?

ENTERTAINMENT GISTS!

Ash and Bachchan exchanging vows on their wedding day last Friday April 2oth. So glad Ash finally found 'The one'. I'd been rooting for her and Salma Khan. They were such a lovely couple. Oh well...moving on...



The queen of pop today April 24th celebrated her 25 years in Music. It was exactly on April 24, 1982, that Sire Records CEO Seymour Stein released a single called "EVERYBODY" by an unknown Madonna. Since then she's gone on to sell close to 200 million records and remaining a star of enormous magnitude and influence for the last 25 years. Happy Anniversary to Madonna.




Eddie's baby's been born and named. Mel B named her Angel Iris Murphy Brown. Is Eddie still insisting on a DNA test?




Alec Baldwin has been having it tough ever since he dropped that 'message' on his daughter's voicemail. Cartoons are now being drawn, the voice message is being used as ring tone. This guy will 'hear am' for a long to come



Who thinks the third part of Spider Man will be a box office hit like the first two?



Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons has called for the ban of "b***h", "ho" and"n****r" from all rap songs. He says the derogatory terms should be considered "extreme curse words" and excluded from all 'clean' versions.

He has now called for a lyrical standardization throughout the broadcasting industry to clearly define which words should be cut.

I'm in total support of this. Some of the words rappers use nowadays, especially when referring to the ladies, is degrading. I hope Russell is able to ban those words. Who joins me in supporting Russell?

HOW TO...ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE.

Find a life partner

A 2004 study at Rockefeller University in New York suggested that the stress of divorce could accelerate the ageing of white blood cells. On the other hand, life-long happiness really does what it says on the tin. Experts believe that long-term loving relationships can keep you as much as 7.5 years younger.




Go to the beach more often.

There's something about nature and life extention. Studies have shown that just 30 minutes of bright light per day for five days is enough to banish depression in people's lives.



Get a dog

Scientists have always sworn that dogs lower your risk of heart attacks and strokes. Studies have shown that dog-owners tend to have lower blood pressure and cholesterol than people without. Dogs are more effective than other pets because they force owners to take a daily walk.




Move to another country

If you think the standard of living of the country you live in stinks, move to a better country. And if you really want to prolong your life, try living in Andorra - it tops the world's lifespan table with an average age of 83.




Sports/Exercise

The added benefits of regular exercise, keeping muscles and joints supple and strengthening heart and lung function will also keep you ticking along nicely.




Laugh more often

Humour can help us lead happier and longer lives, according to a 2006 study at the Norwegian University of Science. They've proved that people with a sense of humour are 30% more likely to survive when killer diseases strike. Laughter produces more protective hormones, regulates blood pressure, decreases the effects of stress and boosts the immune system.




Go to church more often.



Visit your doctor more often

Prevention is better than cure - don't ignore warning signs until they turn into flashing blue and white emergency lights. Nip treatable illnesses like diabetes, depression, kideny problems etc by visiting your doctor.

To me, finding a life partner is the best way to live long. The right life-partner I mean. A wrong life-partner is the quickest way to an early grave.lol

WORLD'S TALLEST DOG!

Bet some of you didn't know there was a 'World's tallest dog'. I just discovered this myself.

Certified by the Guiness Book of World Records, the tallest dog living is Gibson, a Harlequin Great Dane who measured 107 cm (42.2 in) tall on August 31 2004 and is owned by Sandy Hall of Grass Valley, California, USA.

When he stands on his hind legs, the 170-pound Dane is more than 7 feet tall, taller than most NBA basketball players. The image above shows Gibson standing with his Veterinarian.

I love dogs, but go near a dog taller than me? Lai lai!!!

Zimbabwe bans horror movie: Texas Chainsaw Massacre

The Government of Zimbabwe through its visual and audio products muzzling arm, the Censorship Board, has banned the horror movie, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, which cinema sources said was supposed to be on the Zimbabwe cinema circuit this month April.

The Censorship board said the movie was banned for its horror aspects and uncompromising killings and not for political reasons as was earlier speculated.

They also said they have a gate-keeping responsibility to ensure that the public is not exposed to violent material, therefore, the ban.

I didn't particularly like the second version of this movie. It was too unrealistic and the killings were too horrific. But to ban it? I don't know about that

Kigali Gets $25 Million Amusement Park

After all the things this country has been through (remember April 1994 genocide?), good to know that their people have a place they can go and unwind. Also good to know that their gradually building their country again.

Nigeria: Film Board Launches New Guidelines

The management of the National Film and Video Censors Board (NFVCB) has criticised the poor distribution of Nollywood movies. The board has now launched new guidelines on film censorship and distribution to regulate the film industry.

Last year, about 2085 films were censored. Sorry to say this, but I think half the films produced in this country shouldn't be allowed to be seen by the public. Some of them are too crappy!

Koundandi: A Film About Love and Sacrifice

The award-winning Kounandi is that rarest of films – a film about African women by an African woman. It is the first major film by young Burkinabe director Apolline Traoré and was produced by celebrated director Idrissa Ouedraogo. The film, set in simpler, pre-colonial village society, is told in the style of folktales. Kounandi is an adult fairy tale about love and the sacrifices it sometimes asks of us, but it also addresses social conflict and prejudices.

Lasting only 50 minutes, Koundandi is a relatively short film, but it has its place in African folklore.

The film can be purchased at California Newsreel

Well, these are some of the other things happening in other parts of Africa that I think you all should know about. It took me two hours to get this info for y'all, so blow me kisses in appreciation. Kisses back!!! Ciao!

PERSONALITY: EMEKA OKAFOR

Last night I was watching a basketball game between Miami Heats and Charlotte Bobcats. (oh yes I'm a big fan...I love the game).

After the game, one of the players from Charlotte was interviewed and then they put his name as Emeka Okafor. Emeka Okafor I thought? That's a Nigerian name. Before yesterday I'd never heard of this guy, didn't even know there were still some Nigerians in the NBA. Hakeem Olajuwon was the only Nigerian that I knew about. I'm sure there plenty others. I'll go digging.




I went digging to find out about him and this is what I found...

He was also part of the United States team for the 2004 Summer Olympics, which finished with the bronze medal in Athens.

If I was 18 and lived in America, I'd go after this guy. He's soooo cute right?

PAUL PLAY QUOTE.

On managing career with family
"It's not easy but I try as much as possible to give them quality time. We travel two times in a year for a holiday and I try as much as possible to play my role as a father and a husband. It's quite unfortunate that they have to share me with fans because this is where my business is."

On coping with female fans
"That is one aspect that you need to be very careful in this game. I've passed through alot of them. I still remember a day a lady insisted that I sign on her nipples with my lips. My female fans are all wonderful people. I told my wife that I'm married to them too."

What I want to know is whether he signed on the nipples of his female fan with his lips. He didn't say. I like this guy. What do you guys think of him and his music?

WORDS WOMEN USE!!!

This is to give women a good laugh and to warn men about future arguments they can avoid if they remember these terminologies.

Words women use and what they really mean.

THAT'S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when u will pay for your mistake.

FIVE MINUTES: If a woman is getting dressed (this is half an hour), 5minutes is only 5 minutes if the man has just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game. Once she's ready your 5 minutes is up.

NOTHING: This is the calm before the storm. This means 'something', and u should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with 'Nothing' usually end in 'Fine'.

FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and need men to shut up.

GO AHEAD:This is a dare not a permission. Don't do it!

LOUD SIGH: This is actually not a word, but it's a non-verbal statement often understood by men. A 'loud sigh' means she thinks u are an idiot and wonders why she's wasting her time and arguing with you over nothing.

THANKS: A woman is thanking you. Do not question it. Just say you are welcome!

WHATEVER: That's a woman's way of saying F**K YOU!!

I'm sure some of you men have learnt a thing or two from this.

I got this from my sis blog. You guys need to go check out more stuff at veraikeji.blogspot.com. Ciao!!!

NIGERIA'S RICHEST MAN!

50 year old business man, Aliko Dangote is Nigeria's Richest.

He's estimated to be worth 8 billion dollars. When converted, that amounts to 1 Trillion Naira. Making him Nigeria's first authentic trillionaire.

Listed two years consecutively as Nigeria's richest man, his net worth in 2005 was $1.6 billion, and $4billion in 2006, now he's valued at $8billion in 2007.

The chairman of Dangote group, a conglomeration that manufactures everything from cement to sugar is the biggest private employer of labour in Nigeria with over 25, 000 employees.

He is today said to be ranked on the top 20 richest men in the world.

He has an all-glass and granite house in Victoria Island, a yacht, two private jets and many choice properties.

The Kano-born businessman is married with kids.

2007 ELECTION RESULTS!

Well we all know who's going to rule Nigeria come May 2007. The new President-elect of Nigeria is Umar Musa Yar'adua from Katsina State.

INEC Chairman, Professor Maurice Iwu released the result of Saturday's election some hours ago.

Here it is...

PDP - Alhaji Umar Musa Yar'adua - 24, 638, 063 votes
ANPP - Mohammadu Buhari - 6, 605, 299 votes
AC - Alhaji Atiku Abubakar - 2, 637, 848 votes
PPA - Orji Uzor Kalu - 608, 803 votes
APGA - Odumegwu Ojukwu - 155, 947 votes
DPP - Bafarawa - 89, 241 votes
FRESH - Rev. Chris Okotie - 74, 049 votes
ADC - Pat Utomi - 50, 849 votes

Others are AD - 89, 241, ALP - 22, 677 votes, NUP - 4, 355, ND - 5, 408.

25 political parties contested for this election.

So there you have it, the next man to rule this country is Umar Yar'adua and I am mighty glad he won. I was initially against an 'Hausa' ruler, but having gone through this man's profile, I think he more than qualifies to rule us. He is honest. One of the only THREE Governor's the EFCC did not indict for embezzlement. The state he governs at the moment is the only State in the country with excess reserve. He is what we need at this point in our nation.

Hopefully he'll do better than his predecessor who I think has done great for this nation.

If you are not happy about the elections conducted 14th and 21st 2007 and also not happy about Yar'adua winning the presidential elections, do share your views with us.

MY NEW LAPTOP.

I want to say a big thank you to the viewers of this blog who go out of their way to drop really sweet comments for me. Something great has come out of your beautiful and encouraging words.

Apparently, someone very close to my heart was always checking my blog out and reading your comments. He was very impressed with the feedback and my dedication to my blog, so he decided to reward me.

Yesterday, the man-who-loves-me-deeply gave me a brand new 17inch 2006 model Dell laptop. Did I hear a 'wow'? Yes wow!!!

I am beyond thrilled 'cos this laptop is the best in the market. It can do anything and everything. Everything is in-built! I even got Internet connection to go with it....somebody say amen!!! lol.

I've been staring at the gadget non-stop since yesterday. I still can't believe it's mine. I wish you guys could see this laptop.

Before now I was using a Toshiba 2004 model, nice...but meeeen, this new one is a 'Machine'

This is the exact one he got for me...






There's nothing more beautiful than having a man who supports your career and wants to see you succeed. He's always teaching me how to make more money with my talent, my magazine, my writing...he's such a sweetheart.

So yesterday, in appreciation, I decided to do something I'd never done for him before. Cook! Yes I cooked for my man for the first time since we started dating. That's crazy right? He didn't even know I could cook. I'm an excellent cook BTW(even though I don't look the part), and the best part is that I love cooking...I just never got around to ever doing it for him until yesterday. He loved..liked...loved my cooking. lol

Thanks baby. No one encourages and supports me more than you do. I really appreciate it! Love and plenty plenty plenty kisses!!!

By the way Bella, he loves your blog! I don't know which one he reads more, yours or mine lol.
