How did they acted "very unprofessionally" ?
Was he not supposed to know the website of the organization where he works?


Just what else did they mean by going to post his error on their website than humiliating him...he goofed fine but he really should have been spared further embarrassment by the station..noone knows it all...

Family / Re: My Husband Has Turned Me To A Punching Bag by chokolatte: 2:58pm On Jul 22, 2013
Ujujoan:

You are 'blessing' them because the support you? It means you are not ready to grow up!

I don't care how incompetent she is as a wife, you knew all that in the 8 years you dated her and yet went ahead to marry her . . . but you have no right to raise your hands against another man's daughter. Your wife is pregnant and yet you beat her up because she 'pushed' you!

You claim she's lying about the financial assistance but something must have made you marry her. It's obviously not love, or her great wifely attributes, so I'm guessing it's money. undecided I'm not judging you for that (to each his won) but it's wrong of you to blame her for all the troubles in your marriage.

You are a man (an older one for that matter) and should comport yourself as such. No matter the provocation, never allow yourself to fall into a situation where you'll regret your actions. If you kill or injure her out of anger, you'll live the rest of your life regretting it.

I know but the madam caused it....my dear we all determine the way we are treated in our relationships....and it works in all relationships from employee to boss, teacher to student etc....

you outline what you won't take from your partner from the start of your relationship..and you don't make your demands by voicing them..you set your standards by acting right,respecting yourself and being responsible and see if you wont be respected or valued.

If after all that your guy still misbehaves which i doubt he will then take a walk he is not the man for you...

Relationships are meant to be enjoyed and not endured..life is too short
Family / Re: My Husband Has Turned Me To A Punching Bag by chokolatte: 2:32am On Jul 22, 2013
I read through some of the past posts of this couple while they were dating. The foundation of their wedding is faulty they both had issues with each other's attitudes during coutship and still went ahead to get married...They didn't count the costs of their shortcomings.... It's always good to ask yourself if you can stick with ur partners shortcomings for the rest of your life before settling down with him or her.

Marraige is not a child's play and whatever a man and woman do not like about themselves during courtship worsens after marraige.

Portharcourt boy has no regard for his wife and she caused it. Women earn their respect from their men during and after courtship and it comes by showing themselves as being responsible and up to the task of being a wife and mother.

Dear Doctorrazz with your husbands comments about you before marriage it shows you were not on top of your game and you already failed the marriage test...but its not too late to change... humble urself and be more hardworking its shameful when a woman cannot cook or clean her house.What values will you instill in your children.How will you discipline them if you urself lack discipline. Your children like your husband wont even respect you if you come across to them as a lazy woman. Men are big babies show them you are all the mother they need and earn ur respect my dear that's how to play the game and also be prayerful about your marriage, commit your husband, home and children to God. Sweetheart you can manipulate any situation to work in your favour with the power of prayer.
Read the last book of proverbs and learn how to be a woman.

What you have given to your marriage is what you are getting out of it.Women are the managers of their home and should work hard at their marriages if they want to enjoy it.

When a man starts telling you to leave if u want to because you have failed to play ur part as a woman then it shows you have been adding no value to his life and he sees you as a liability, which is very embarrassing for any woman. i read some of ur husband's past posts concerning you, while you were dating and i felt ashamed for you.

Like i said its not too late to change.Your husband has his weaknesses no doubt but please play your part. Work at your weaknesses..May God be with you and save your marriage by his grace all the best.

TV/Movies / Nollywood Actress Says She Is More Endowed Than Mercy Johnson by chokolatte: 9:26pm On Jul 20, 2013
Crystal Okoye hasn’t got a profile as long as an arm but her profile is rich, unusual and fascinating. Barely a year on the scene, the curvaceous twenty-something has done 18 movies with more than 5 of those as the leading lady- now, that’s a profile even the best in the industry will gawk at. In this chat with Weekend Groove, the newest sensation in Nollywood as she has come to be known shares her experience, her rise to fame and what makes her tick: enjoy…

How did you get into Nollywood?

My journey into Nollywood was as a result of childhood fantasy that turned into a burning desire. Ever since I was a child I have always been obsessed with acting. My first love was developed through watching the Cartoon Network. Just seeing the various characters going through their acts awaken the love in me. Then, I would mimic whatever they do and by so doing, I became obsessed with acting. Seeing my passion, my family then encouraged me to build the passion into reality.

Later I began to sharpen my skills as an actor by using my mirror to master various mannerisms and acts, using my siblings as collaborators. Little by little, things began to fall into place and here I am living my dream.

Since you had the dream as a child, why didn’t you start as a child?

See, in my house, education comes first. My family believes in education so much they would not allow you to do any thing until you have had a good education. I started pursuing the dream of acting after I have secured an admission into the university. I am currently in my 300 level, studying Public Administration in the University of Nnamdi Azikwe, Anambra State.

When did you actually start acting and how has the journey been for you?

I started acting last year January and since then I have done 18 films. Though the one I am about to start will be my 18th film and I still have three other scripts waiting for me after I finish the next one. I will not say the journey has been easy, I have God and a friend to thank for my fast growth in the industry.

Like in every industry, there are challenges and one of the biggest challenges in the movie industry is sexual harassment. It is almost impossible not to encounter it at one point or another as an upcoming artiste. But I thank God I have met the right people who have steered me in the right direction. Sexual harassment is always there but it all depends on you, whether to play or not to play.
*Crystal

*Crystal

Most times, they offer you conditions before giving you a role and it’s up to you to take the role or not. I have had to walk out on a job because of such conditions. Before I came into the industry I have heard of it and I was ready because I know what I wanted. It’s not peculiar to the movie industry, sexual harassment is everywhere and as a beautiful girl you must expect people to get out of turn sometimes.

Doing 18 movies in the first year of your career as an actress is a bit fantastic. How did you pull it off, what was the catch?

There’s no catch, it is grace of God. I am starting another job tomorrow and I have another 3 scripts in my hand. All of them are back to back. As I am finishing one I am taking up another.

It is all by the grace of God and as I said earlier, a friend. The name of that friend is Ogoo Okechi. She’s a costumier. When I met her I have not done more than 2 movies but afterwards she had helped me tremendously. What she does is to tell the marketer of a film she’s working on to feature me. She has been getting jobs for me. The next role I have now is given to me by Pete Edochie.

But have you ever taken a lead role because that takes a while for so many other stars?

Yes, I have taken lead roles. If I remember correctly, I have taken the lead character in about 5 of the 18 films I have done. I took the lead in: “Ritual War”; “King’s Enemy”; “Release Me Oh Lord”; “Hour of Grace” and “Hour of Mercy”; “Mr Ibu on the Run”; and “Mr Ibu and the Widows”, “Body of the King”; and “Journey of a King”. Some of them are two parts movies. I played a supporting role in “Body of the King” and “Journey of a King”

What was your first fee?

I collected ten thousand naira in my first film, which was “Wild Heart” and the sequel “Heart of a Wife”. It was a ten-scene appearance for me. You know, for upcoming artistes, it is usually a thousand naira per scene. But as you progress the fee changes. In some instances, it isn’t like because you did twenty scenes you have to collect twenty thousand naira, It varies.

What has worked for you in the industry; your talent or beauty?

I will say both. Before then I used to look at myself in the mirror and tell myself “Crystal, you are beautiful”. I am beautiful. I am well-shaped. I have straight legs. I decided to come into the industry, not just with my physical attributes but also because of my talents.

In Nollywood, you may be beautiful but if you are not talented you can’t get any where but I thank God I have everything. The talent, the beauty, the figure and everything. In Nollywood, beauty and talent goes hand in hand.

What do you think are your selling points?

My selling point are my hips. I think Mercy Johnson’s hips are just learning where mine are. I know that I am well-shaped. If you ask me, I have got the best shape in Nollywood. And it is just not my hips alone, my eyes, my legs and my height as a woman all compliment my nice figure.
You may say I don’t have the front but I have the back. The back speaks for me.

Is it true that upcoming actors and actresses now pay producers to be featured in films?

They do that. Some pay their way to be featured. Yes, it is happening alright.

Have you ever had to do that?

God forbid. I would rather give up the job than succumb to that. I am an actress, the producer is supposed to pay me not the other way round.

What’s your idea about sex. Should it be done only after marriage?

Sex is a free gift from God, meant for us, man and woman to enjoy ourselves. I don’t believe in that ‘after marriage’ crap. I believe in sex before marriage because it is very important you know partner very well, sexually and otherwise, before you two are sworn together for life.

If you don’t know the person very well (sexually) before marriage, what happens if the person doesn’t live up to your expectations? What if the person cannot perform? I don’t think there’s a woman who wants to end up with a man who cannot perform.

So, a man must be able to perform before you can consider marrying him?

Yes o. If a man cannot perform I have no business with him. You have to be a complete man to be with me.

So you prefer sex to money in marriage?

My dear, money comes first o. Money rules the world. But sex too is very important because without sex the marriage cannot be sweet. God has given sex as a gift to enjoy.

It used to be and i neva liked it before until recently cos it has stepped up check the new tvcnews on startimes channel 115 in lagos and 326 outside lagos or on channel 572 on bskyb you will be impressed.

Maxymilliano: What is he doing at TVC? He should talk to Ndee Amaugo, former presenter of Open Access at the defunct MBI on how he was rendered redundant and converted to a once-in-week news presenter at TVC.

Glad for Dotun Saseyi who was quick to beat retreat to his usual Sunday political discourse program on Galaxy TV after a short spell at TVC ...

It appears its just the tvc that transmits within the lagos area that you watch.
There is another twenty four hour news channel called tvcnews. You can watch it on startimes channel 326 outside lagos and channel 115 within the lagos area. It is also on bskyb channel 572 for those in the uk.

You can also download the tvcnews application on your ipad or samsung galaxy tab just search it in play store.

You can also watch it on www.tvcnews.tv.
It does news at the top of every hour and has correspondents across Africa
You will see more of Ndee's news presentation there..I can tell you authouritatively that the station is wow...I am addicted

its the best in Nigeria..competes well with Aljazeera and Cnn as regards quality.

I also hear tvc's pay is good and salaries are not owed unlike ait that is owing like eight months pay and shamelessly makes so much noise grin

But on a more serious note Deji is not a staff of tvc he is only an independent producer which means he only airs his programme on the station. His programme Deji360 airs on ait as well.
He has an online tv called tv360..u can check it out

He has been battling the ailment for two years and treatment is quite expensive here in naija. These things are a big drain on finances. God help our leaders to think of building and subsidising health care facilities to treat cancer and other organ failures at affordable rates.

Very well said ..

i understand that his daughter also has a heart condition, which has drained his finances over the years..it's easy to criticize others but let's all just keep praying that life doesn't deal us a cruel blow when we are at our weakest points and not ready for that particular setback or challenge..

Sometimes we think we are master planners or smart arses but somtins dey happen wey dey pass person...God help us all
