justwise: Oh really? Was Daniel Amokachi not part of the team that won the cup then? Daniel Amokachi was playing for Everton at that time. Everton is an English Premier league team. Right?

Don't mind him dat guy wuz born on a generator.

Red-Light:
ho i see .... that just affirm my assertion .... another lowlife riff Raff ranting ..... what a national disgrace

Ur level of stupidity and shallow thinking has rendered me speechless. So u agree wit da buffoon who posted diz. Be thankful dat slavery is over, i would have exchange you for a bag of SHIIT and HIV from da white man cuz ur level of reasoning smells more and kills quickly than the two. U child of BOKO.

Mr_TA: Another pathetic way to blame everyone else but us. Pathetic. Ghanaians and Ivorians don't watch or have players in the premier league. Zambians don't watch premier league?

Morons.

Thank you

gister2: Quite a number of perks come with being a movie star in this part of the world. They include designer clothes, luxury cars and posh apartments. Apart from their penchant for such status symbols, today’s Nollywood actors and actresses are also seen as role models, especially to the young and impressionable who dream of becoming stars some day.

https://assets.punchng.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Yoruba-movie-stars.jpg

But, judging by the results of a recent investigation conducted by Saturday Beats, it appears all that glitters is not gold, after all.

Contrary to popular opinion, the life of the average Yoruba movie star is that of constant ‘suffering and smiling’.

In spite of the fabulous profiles and immense goodwill enjoyed by some of these celebrated screen gods and goddesses, the contents of their bank accounts are really nothing to be cheerful about.

Even the ‘alarming’ increase in the volume of home video films produced in Yoruba language ought to be sufficient to improve the bank balances of such celebrities. To make matters worse, many of them suffer from a financial disease known as ‘Withdrawal Symptom.’ In fact, it is no longer news that a good number are regular visitors to ATMs.

“As soon as money is paid into their bank accounts, you will see them rushing to the nearest ATM to withdraw almost all the cash,” an amused banker told Saturday Beats recently.

Certainly it is difficult to believe that no reasonably successful Yoruba actor or actress has ever been paid up to N500, 000 for a lead role in any movie. Half a million seems a fantastic sum by all indications. Instead, the maximum fee payable to the best actor or actress has remained between N150k and N250k. Even many of the ‘veterans’ receive as low as N10k to appear in a film feature.

While those that are constantly in demand or have won awards in the industry, such as the likes of Funke Akindele and Odunlade Adekola, earn a maximum of N250k per feature film, the rest are left with peanuts. Interestingly, an exception to this ‘golden rule’ is Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde. Gistvillages investigation shows that she earns between N250k and N400k.

Another ‘big earning’ actor is Adebayo Salami, aka Oga Bello. It is said that he hardly receives part payment from any producer. Usually on location, he would demand his fee of not more that N150,000 before going into action.

The same is said about Omotola who does not budge until she or her manager has confirmed that a certain amount of money has been deposited in her bank account.

However, the so-called big budget film productions have never exceeded the N3m mark despite the fact that a lot of money goes into paying the crew and cast. Money is also spent on production equipment, lights, costumes, makeups, transport, food, accommodation, generating plant sets, and other logistics/incidental expenses. That is also why most of the cast and crew are grateful when the filmmaker or marketer, who bankrolls the production, is able to hand them paltry sums of money.

“You can count on your fingers the number of individuals involved in the production who respectively got paid less than N50,000,” a production hand says.

Also included in the budget are the editing suite staff, copies of empty VCDs to be dubbed, posters and film jackets to be printed, marketing and distribution.

Now we know why most of the highly paid or underpaid actors/ actresses are writing their own movie scripts and directing or producing their own movie projects, as well as saturating the market with volumes of half-baked home videos every week.

Bukky Wright was the highest paid actress in the Yoruba language genre before Funke Akindele broke her N150,000 per featured film record with Jenifa.

Omilade Babatunde, aka Baba Suwe, used to be the highest paid aactor until the much younger Odunlade Adekola, aka Cause Trouble, began to earn up to N250k per feature film. The other notable figures? Well, they are trying hard to catch up with Omotola, Funke and Odunlade.

No need to pay yorouba actors and actresses much money cuz they can earn extra income through da talent we all know dis tribe is made of. Eg Armed robbery, drugs, etc..................

9free: For this nation's cup alone, I be Togolese. After the tournament I be full blooded Nigerian.
Go Togo........

U r not needed there cuz Togo is starting their own OPERATION FLUSH OUT NIGERIANS so u better stick to ur HELL HOLE.

Never knew EWES r gud in football

[quote author=Abrantie]What surprised me was how Togo maintained their cool and out-played CIV even after going down 1 in the early minutes.

We shall see how part 2 plays out. Interesting and free-flowing match.[/quote

Da more teams begin to perform well da less chances da super baboons of Nigeria have. Talk abt giANT of Africa

Pringozie02: We all know that appearance is a very important factor for the female gender, a pretty face, a nicely carved bobbie enriched with an extruded ikebe equals an Asampete. For the men it was just a factor of how well you are doing in life.....until someone decided to divide his belle into six lumps.

They call it "Six Packs" and for some reasons, the ladies are monkeying for it. Before now, big-belle aka "Afo Beer" used to be identified as an evidence of good living. But like fashion and some funny naija dance steps, somethings are meant to fade away.

If you stand upright and can't see your entire "Jon-Thomas", the ladies believe you are WRONG. This slightly changed when Rick Ross came along and gave big-belle some swag....BOSS.

Guys are now carrying weight just to look like Voltron. Wetin happen? You wan act Spartacus? The only thing that would make it appropriate is if your community is having steady problems with the neighboring villages.

For guys that are tagged "Out of Shape"...never mind them, you are in shape my brother. Last time I checked...circle was still a shape....lmao

Comments are open for discussion

Da fact dat u r very lazy and don't hv da will power and da determination to hit da gym and toned ur body doesn't mean u shld discourage others.

sadeiyare: I blame the Ghanaians in the viewing centre I watch the match in accra, their beef was just so tangible, I knew something bad was going to happen ( Ghanaians charmed us)

U ungrateful baboon looking child of a BOKO HARAM p/r/i/c/k at least u watch da match cuz most of ur people in BOKOGERIA where looking for generator whilst da match was in progress. Alata eeediot why don't u go back to ur so call giANT of Africa.

ChukChinCol: Which Grey starz is he talking about? Those charcoals that threw away a two goal lead against how-did-we-get-here-stars of Congo...go look bush

U hv da brains of a BOKO HARAM child and reason why Nigeria is becumin pathetic in everything is dat it is bless with so many fools like you. DR Congo is miles ahead of Nigeria, ur super baboons struggle against da worst team in da tournament. Don't compare ur HELL hole to GH

bad_ass_nigga: this Nigeria teams r so ordinary

Eeerrrrrmmm everything about Nigeria is ordinary rememba. You have ordinary president who was made to look stupid and daft in an interview by a young lady called Aisha Sesay.

bennyraz: I thank God for this forum..

1. I'm very angry with the centre referee. I think he was bias and he favored Burkinafaso more. The fouls our boys committed were similar to fouls the faso boys committed yet we got yellow cards for ours while they got nothing..

2. I blame joseph yobo because he's not a fighter. When he saw what the referee was doing, he was meant to protest! I think they should emulate Barcelona players in this.. When next they bring any player down, the whole team should surround the referee to complain! That i didn't see. Yobo was so lose with the ball, he did not lift the spirit of the team when they needed gingering rather he was poor

3. I blame ike uche cuz he's not a clinical striker! Two clear chances and the only thing he could think was to send the ball to the sky. If Emenike had those chances, he would have taking it.

4. I blame stephen keshi, cuz he kept quite at the sidelines.. He has low technical capabilities! He couldn't make the right changes. I expected Emenike to play all through. And again, he did not pass instruction to his team to hold on to the ball for the remaining few minutes.


Nairalander's, who do you blame?

Absolute nonsense, ur rantings are not valid.

Dancing AZONTO wit GH flag around ma waist. Ur super baboons can't beat da worst team in da tournament.

One pathetic idiotic aspect of dis issue is dat so many dumb Nigerians will still believe dis CROCODILE SHIIT story and very another lonely fool will cum here and say dat OBASANJO THE FROG is a descendant of KING DAVID and guess wot most dumb Nigerians will still believe it just lyk wen dis fools thought serena n Venus Williams were Nigerians. Da reason why Nigeria is not progressing is not becuz of ur politicians but because da fools in Nigeria r more than da rational ones.

After waking up in da morning, brushing ur teeth, having ur bath and ur breakfast you want to tell me ur brain is still not in a good position to help you come out with a sensible topic that will be beneficial to Nigeria than this heap of cow dung. Pathetic idiotic fool.

It seems u r more confused than the lady

U think dat Muslim guy will tek u serious wen der are 27 virgins waiting for him in da sky. Think

ziccoit: Islam preaches and supports equity between male and female.

There is nothing like equality. It is an attempt at deception. There is no law whether civil, traditional or religion that can bring equality between male and female.

Absolute rubbish, killslam is a disease and shld be obliterated.

foliks: I am a christian lady dating a Muslim guy for about a year now,the guy has been everything a woman can ever ask for in a man. Before I met him I dated my first boyfriend for 5yrs but those years were the saddest years of my life and each time I try to leave,he comes back begging and another relationship.

I was supposed to have left me because he found out my first boyfriend is still around now my first bf is back begging again and has gone to beg my aunty. Now my aunty who is like my mum cos my biological mum is dead has refused to support my new relationship and even said I should give my ex another chance since my new bf is a Muslim and now we are not even speaking to each other because she feels my new relationship is the reason am not accepting him back...


I don't know what to do,please what do you advice

A WISE PERSON SEES TROUBLE AND RUN BUT A FOOL GOES IN AND GET PUNISH. It seems u luv to court trouble so trouble will follow u.

A you-robber man was arrested for trying to steal a wall clock from a church because he doesn't want to miss the exact time the match between Super Chickens and Cheappuccipucci of Zambia will start.
JUDGE: why do you want to steal a wall clock from a church when there are several places to do that.
MAN: Because God's time is the BEST.

Chenua Achebe and Fela Kuti were in da commentary box for da quarter finals match between super chicken and Black stars and all of a sudden Mikel was in good position to score with the black stars keeper at his mercy.
ACHEBE: Oh chineke mikel is about to score, oh nooo he missed it. Oh THINGS FALL APART for mikel. Instead of shooting he wanted to dribble.
ACHEBE : Fela please give me your view on this glorious chance wasted by mikel.
FELA: mikel, mikel na ZOMBIE, HE NO GO SHOOT UNLESS YOU TELL AM TO SHOOT. NA ZOMBIE THAT.
