Kunle Afolayan Talks about His Film ‘October 1st’, Says He Wants More Than Nollywood [VIDEO]
Nigeria's film industry, known as Nollywood, started just over 20 years ago and is now the third largest in the world.

of its low-budget films follow well-tried formulas with huge doses of love,
betrayal and, often, witchcraft.
However,
some Nigerian filmmakers are working outside the Nollywood genre, hoping to
succeed internationally. Kunle Afolayan is one of them – in this interview with
BBC, the film-maker talks about his latest film, “October 1st”
and his plans for the future.Thursday 2 January 2014

Nigeria's First Lady May Die; I do not see Nigeria at semi-final of 2014 W/Cup – Primate Ayodele
Primate
Elijah Babatunde Ayodele of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has joined
Nigerian Ministers to prophecy for 2014. The Primate is known to have predicted
the Sosoliso and Bellview Airline crashes few years ago.
Hear
him,
Concerning the year 2014, I will advise
every Nigerian to take time and be prayerful for the country and for themselves
from the 1st to 3rd of January, 2014. This is for God to prevent imminent
dangers ahead of the nation and the economy. Let us take it from here. I don’t
see anything happening in the Nigerian economy. I see debts everywhere- our
crude oil, foreign reserve, and all.
States will be in debt, the Federal
Government will be in debt and Nigeria will be planning to go borrow money. So,
the government has to be very careful not to be affected by these debts. Prices
of food will increase drastically and flour will be scarce and become very
expensive. Corruption too will be more prevalent because this government lacks
the power to fight it. Fighting oil theft will also pose a major challenge and
Nigeria will beg America to support her in the fight. The price of petroleum
will increase as well.

“D’banj never tried to reach me, it hurts deeply” –– OJB expresses disappointment
In a
recent interview with Inspiration FM’s Gloria Maduka, OJB talks about how D’banj
abandoned him when he needed his help. He also tells how he expected D’banj to
come out and refute claims that he gave him ₦7m cheque as his contribution
towards the kidney transplant.
Hear
him;
“The most disappointing one for me is
D’banj because he passed through my hands, he was trained under my tutelage.
That is offensive. I don’t care if you’re with Kanye West, you can’t forget
your root. I won’t call anybody else’s name but I will call his because it
hurts. His own hurts very deep. And he never tried to reach out to me. It’s not
like we parted on fighting terms.
He told me he had to go to London and he
went. And when he came back it was Don Jazzy, and I said OK, that’s fine. And
what he did worked and I’m very proud of him, the love I had for him, that’s
why it hurts more. He should have come out to say no, I don’t know why you
people are saying all this, I didn’t give OJB N7million, maybe a part of him
felt embarrassed because at the end of the day, really, are you not supposed to
do something?”

indications have emerged that the Army authorities have issued terminal letters
to 30 generals, preparatory to their leaving the force between today, 31st
December and 31st January 2014.

the generals that have so far received the letters are some principal staff
officers at army and defence headquarters, commandants of tri-service
institutions, corps-commanders, as well as those of Army-owned training
institutions.

Tribune gathered from authoritative military sources that while some of the
generals have served the mandatory 35 years in service, others have been caught
up by the age on rank requirement for retirement and some have become not
promotable by virtue of the fact that they have not been successful with the
promotion boards for the three scheduled opportunities.

Obiwon Opens Up on Why He Dropped R&B for Gospel Music
In a
recent interview with Punch, Obiora Nwokolobia-Agu, popularly known as Obiwon
tells why he ditched R&B for gospel music.
Excerpts;
Why did you transit from R&B to
gospel?
After
recording some successes on my first album, I found myself right in the thick
of a celebrity/ fame lifestyle. I wasn’t yet a practising Christian but I found
myself often pondering if I could possibly end up well or ever lead a good life
with the way things were going. Secondly, studying the personal lives of a
couple of music icons, who were my role models at the time, was scary because
they all had terrible endings. Also,
things hadn’t exactly gone as planned in my career despite some successes. All
these drove me to seek God and answers. Eventually, I gave my life to Christ
and became born again. For me, it was first, a step of faith, as the answer to
the kind of life I desired while pursuing an entertainment career.
