Foreign Affairs / BREAKING: Saudi Arabia Intensify Arrest Of Citizens Who Criticise Israel Online by HisaacPlus: 10:20am On May 04 |
Saudi Arabia has stepped up the arrest of citizens for social-media posts related to the Israel-Hamas war as the kingdom signals a readiness to agree to diplomatic relations with the Jewish state â if it commits to Palestinian statehood. Detaining people for online comments â even those more than 10 years old â and restrictions on free speech and political expression are the norm in Saudi Arabia. Yet the recent spate of arrests are motivated by security concerns specifically linked to the deadly Oct. 7 invasion of Israel by Hamas and its aftermath, according to Riyadh-based diplomats and human rights groups.

Celebrities / Why I Left Nollywood â Fabian Adibe by HisaacPlus: 6:21pm On Apr 27 |
Why I left Nollywood â Fabian Adibe ââI didnât leave them because of this blindness, although the blindness started graduallyââ. ByOnu Stephen March 12, 2022 Reading Time: 2 mins read Fabian Adibe, a veteran Nigerian actor who dominated the movie scene for nearly four decades, has revealed why he quit acting 12 years ago. The actor and television personality who led Nigeria to her first Commonwealth Art Festival in 1965 began his acting career in 1987 in the acclaimed Nigerian TV series, âThings fall apart.â He played the role of Ogbuefi Uzowulu and acted alongside Pete Edochie. His other co-actors, Justus Esiri and Sam Loco Efe, in the series are now deceased. overlay-clevercloseLogo The 81-year-old actor, in an interview with a Nigerian travel journalist, Chinelo Okafor, said he left Nollywood because of âpackaging.â He said: âI left them (Nollywood) because one of their boys came and told me that they are starting a thing called âpackaging.â So I asked him what packaging is, and he said they would give you three scripts. You will do two and get paid while the other would be for them. Why would you want me to do one for you for free? I said I wouldnât? I told the boy I would not be part of that packaging.ââ Acting fees Speaking of remuneration for the roles he played in the past, the veteran actor said that his contemporaries are being paid about N100,000. He said it was a far cry from the N10,000 to N30,000, which he was paid in his heyday. He, however, added that in some cases, he even earned as low as N2,000. His last known movie roles were in âSister My Love,â released in 2006, and âSlave Warrior,â released the following year.

He said, âNone of these people that are Onitsha traders that are in Nollywood, none of them have ever phoned me or asked where this man is. Some AGN friends call me even though they find visiting me difficult because they are in Lagos. But the ones that used to use me and that I made money for, none of them have ever called me or looked for me.â In 2016, it was rumoured that the actor had a visual impairment. In an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, he disclosed that he needed N13 million for eye surgery. TEXEM Advert The actor said his visual impairment had also affected his career for 12 years. He said: âI have been out of work for 12 years, and then I told one of the Onitsha marketers that Adibe is now blind, and the marketer responded that he is not out to carry around a blind man. So I didnât leave them because of this blindness, although the blindness started gradually. If I werenât blind, I would still be doing the film, not for them, but for my first son, who is now an outstanding director in the industry.â History Mr Adibe featured in the Nollywood classic, ââLiving in Bondage,â released in 1993. The movie further thrust him into the limelight. The actor is known for playing the role of an elder, king, father, father-in-law, and brother. But, in most of his movies, he portrayed a man of integrity, that one elder in Nollywood movies who doesnât support the evil tactics of the others. Dangote adbanner 728x90_2 (1) He featured in over 300 movies, some of which include âSlave Warriorâ (2012), âWhite Kingdom 2â (2014), and âFatherâs (2014). The revered actor also featured in foreign movies, including âSoweto,â a story about the struggle in South Africa, and âMr. Johnson,â a Hollywood film.

Religion / A Rare Portrait Of Madam Hannah, Bishop Samuel ĂjĂ yĂ Crowther's Mother-- Pic by HisaacPlus: 11:07am On Apr 25 |
A rare portrait of madam Hannah AfĂĄlĂ (Samuel ĂjĂ yĂ Crowther's mother). AlĂĄĂ fin Abiodun Adegorolu succeeded AlĂĄĂ fin Ajabo, a powerful monarch of his time. AlĂĄĂ fin Abiáťdun gave birth to a girl child named OᚣÚ, OᚣÚ grew up to become the mother of OlĂĄmĂnigbĂŹn, who in turn became the husband of Omo-oga-egun, together they gave birth to Ibisomi Telerinmasa. Telerinmasa was said to be possessed with a special dignity which was known among her people as "Afala" (the one who loves purity or the pure one) signifying the princess or priestess of the great god Obatala (the white cloth god). áťbĂ tĂĄlĂĄ's province is believed to be a sphere of absolute and dazzling purity. Afala married a man whose name was also given as Ajayi from the Edu clan, his grandfather was the Baale of Awaiye-petu, who relocated to the ĂyĂł empire from Ketou (now part of Benin Republic). Afala parted with her lovely son, when he was just 12 after their town, Oshogun, near Isheyin, was invaded by Fulani slave traders in about 1821. As a passionate mother, she waited patiently for the day she will surely meet her son again. They finally reunited during ĂjĂ yĂ's missionary sojourn in AbáşšĚòkĂşta after slavery had separated them for decades. Madam Afala was later baptized by her own son and was given the name Hannah on February 5, 1848 at Abeokuta. Madam Hannah and some other relatives moved in with the Bishop at Abeokuta where she lived to be over a hundred years old. #yorubablog
