I have to give it to the PR team that managed "Half of a yellow sun". They eventually got me to the cinema to see the movie.

But at the end of the movie, I have come to these conclusions:

1. The pictures are far better than the regular nollywood movies (the only positive stuff)

2. The storyline is far from the Nigerian civil war.

3. The story lacks direction, at a point in time, I wasn't sure if it was the biafran story, or igbo mother trying to force another on to her son, or children making decisions for themselves(Zack Orji's children)

4. I wasn't sure of what Chiwetel really does for a living, revolutionary wasn't portrayed at all

5. Then, I wonder why they had to make Ugwo suffer all those mini mojo noises

6. The war scene is obscure.

Wo, shebi some of una sef don watch am, drop your views.

Meanwhile, remember every point above is my personal opinion.

Overall, I was highly disappointed. To think that I didn't even understand what Genevieve Nnaji(Miss Adebayo abi Adebiyi my foot) and O.C Ukeje was doing there...

My advice, read the book leave the movie...

Feyi was involved in plane crash in Lagos almost a year ago and the plane was carrying his father’s remains to Akure, the Ondo State capital, for a state burial.

He and one of his in-laws survived the crash in which the Commissioner for Home Affairs and Culture, Mr. Deji Falae, the undertaker, Tunji Okunsanya and his son, died.

“I am not just lucky; I am a blessed survivor.” The younger Agagu , who spoke with reporters in Lagos on his traumatic experience, acknowledged that only few could have survived in that moment of uncertainty, tension and anxiety.

Feyi said: “Not many could have survived a plane crash. It is not something you plan or pray for. It takes God’s grace. I cannot say it was because of how I sat in the plane or where I sat.

“I just saw the plane going down. I saw smoke and I passed out. When I opened my eyes in the hospital, I could recollect what happened within seconds. I remembered that the plane was going down.”

Nano-silver does not meet committee requirements

The Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, yesterday confirmed the speculations that a patient earlier diagnosed with the Ebola Virus Disease had got better and been discharged from quarantine.

Dr Stella Ameyo-Adadevoh, the first to get infected with the virus after coming in contact with Mr Patrick Sawyer, was discharged from the quarantine unit of the Emergency Operation Centre (EOC) of the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, Lagos State.

Prof Onyebuchi Chukwu who was accompanied by the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr Jide Idris, at a press briefing, said the discharged patient had been given a clean bill of health by experts managing confirmed cases.

“The EOC has advised me to announce that the first ‎Nigerian to have been confirmed to have the Ebola virus disease has this evening been discharged from the isolation unit at the Mainland Hospital, Lagos.

“I have consulted with the experts, and they say clearly that there is a discharge protocol that was employed for this particular patient. It has been followed strictly and was concluded today‎ and what you are getting now is the final outcome.

“Ordinarily if she had been afflicted with another illness she would have been discharged long before now.”

Chukwu also disclosed that, besides Adadevoh, the health of the other five patients in isolation was improving.

“The total number of confirmed cases of EVD in the country is now 12, with four deaths and 189 under surveillance in Lagos and six in Enugu,” he said.

The Minister of Health also spoke about the welfare of patients under surveillance at the isolation centre. The members of the families of some of the patients had complained about the conditions at the centre.

“As you are aware, the patients under treatment have now been moved to the new 40-bed capacity isolation ward provided by the Lagos State Government. Additional equipment has also been made available to the new isolation ward by the Federal Government.”

Asked about the experimental drug, Nano-silver, he had announced was created by a Nigerian in diaspora to be administered on the patients, Chukwu said he had reversed that decision.

“You will recall that last Thursday. I announced that we were ready to deploy an experimental drug, Nano Silver.

“Although the drug has since last Thursday been made available to the EOC in Lagos, it has not been administered to any patient because we were awaiting clearance by ‎the National Health Research Ethics Committee.

“I regret to inform you that the drug did not meet the requirements of the committee.”

He, however, said other drugs were being evaluated by the Treatment Research Group for Ebola treatment in Nigeria.

Answering questions about the sacking of doctors, the Minister said nobody was sacked adding that the federal government just decided to suspend the residency programme of doctors in federal government owned hospitals for the good of the programme.

“The suspension is with all Federal Government hospitals, state teaching hospitals are not affected.

”The government suspended the training to allow for critical investigation and come up with better ways to improve the training”, he said.

Chukwu noted that the paper work for the life insurance cover for volunteers was ongoing and that the Lagos State Government had started the implementation of the insurance cover for its health workers.

Youngsage: Some of us find the Bible difficult to
comprehend and tag it as complicated.
On the other hand, some of us feel we
know the Bible inside out. Well, this

Bible is the best selling book of all
times, having sold about 6 million
copies, in over 2000 languages and
dialects, however, do we know that…

the Bible is the most shoplifted book in the
world?
