If, as his lawyers claim, Tuface and Faze are co-authors of the songs with him, then the copyright in the songs vests in all 3 of them as joint owners under the Copyright Act in Nigeria.

This means that Ruggedman cannot infringe on the copyright in the songs if Tuface and Faze perform at his concert as the licence granted for the performance by Tuface and Faze as joint owners of the copyright in the songs will be deemed to bind Blackface.

The persons Blackface and his lawyers should concern themselves with are Tuface and Faze both of whom they can request to give account of the performance fee they will earn from the concert as Blackface, being an alleged joint owner of the copyright in the songs, will be entitled to an equitable share in the performance fee under the Copyright Act.

Can I see a list of the movies and what's the cost?

1. Lord of the Rings trilogy
2. Oscar
3. Avengers

Seeing some of the comments here, any wonder why the real Lind Ikeji felt the need to respond? Jeez!, people think intelligently for once! It won't kill you!

Isn't this just silly? Any idiot with half a chromosome would know that the the blackmailer "linda" is a con artist and not the real Linda Ikeji.

Imagine him pulling a Karen when he is nowhere near as entertaining as Karen 's left breast implant!

Seriously, I have never understood the fascination with Melvin. The slow poke has absolutely nothing to offer in the show. He's just proven how totally dense he is. This is not being Mr. Nice guy. This is being flipping stupid!

Send the slow poke back home! Beverly, with all her baggages , has always been a more entertaining representative.

Melvin the slow poke!

Seriously, melvin is the most over rated housemate in this show. You would have more fun watching wet paint dry than watching melvin . I'd pick Beverly and her loud mouth over him any day. Hell, I'd even pick Sulu over him!

You sef WETIN?

In addition to what chrisbenogor earlier said, Melvin aint playing the game. Now, all you have listed above are just natural feelings girls have for him. To you and maybe to me too, that tells me he's got swagg cos for crying out loud he aint the only guy in the house. But that is where it forking ends. And his kinda swag is just felt in the house. It doesn't come across to me as a viewer like Kelvins. Furthermore, he doesn't inform me on anything (apologies if dis comes across as arrogance but then it is what it is), he can't capture and hold my interest, he can't make me laff, he can't fork chics in the house, he can't dAnce, what can he do for christs sakes? You just carry pangolo for head dey shout melvin melvin melvin[/quote]

Ranks007: We should be careful who we take as role models, when he finally becomes a satanic and end up in hell as MJ I hope he will have no regrets?

You are such a slowpoke!

Afam4eva: There's nothing to deal with. Show me a proof that they were intimate or you'll just be in the same intellectual bracket as AMAKA.

Ok , Mr. My-IQ-is-so-high-but-I'm-dumber-than-a-doorbell, give us an intellectual dissection of Keemeo's parting shot after their rendezvous room date; was it a kiss with tongue involved or were they whispering to each other Einstein's relativity theory?

Dat okolobenye wey wear coat tanda near the egbe wager wey dem call DJ na bodyguard him be?

Afam4eva: You can't figure sh1t unless you were under the sheets with them to witness it live. This is one of the reasons why people fail exams. How about saying you're not sure if it was sexx or not and saying it look like it instead of saying it definitely is. Definitely means you're 100% positive that it is and you were probably having 3-some with them. You Nigerians have a long way to go in applying common sense. As they say, common sense if not common.

Seriously dude, the way you are arguing one would think Betty is your girl and you are trying to
convince yourself that she didn't cheat on you . They had sex, deal with it!

If they were able to nominate after just 1day in the house , they should be able to nominate in their new house after 3 days of interaction with their new housemates.

There is no prize for guessing who has got a hard on for the President! Governor Dickson (pun intended) is one unabashed presidential groupie! Slow your roll your Excellency, before the First Lady begins to suspect you are her competition for the President’s affections.

You are “confident that never again will the NGF be used as a platform for personal aggrandisement or a tool for blackmail and propaganda”? Read your message again and remember that the mirror has two faces.

FrontPageLawyer: That he's busy working hard while you sit idle watching inconsequential reality show doesn't mean he can't afford 11k. slowpoke, will dangote or adenuga ever watch BBA? What happened to the moneyshow on CNN? Tomorrow you will blame GEJ for your woes.

Let me guess , you just happened to take time off your busy schedule making your Dangote and Adenuga-size megafortune to lecture us poor folk on why we should be watching the money show on CNN instead of BBA , abi ? By the way, how do you know Dangote and Adenuga don't watch BBA ? Let me guess again, you know so from your vantage position licking the mud off their shoes as they follow their stock ratings on the money show .

hapson: What exactly that is good that BBA is teaching Africans, because this show is highly over-hyped, it does educate, inform nor entertain. So what's it all about?

If you need a reality show to teach you about life , then, you have a serious problem . For the record, the show is not meant to teach you anything. It is meant to entertain those who are unpretentious and who know well enough not to take life too seriously all the time.

IvyBlue: BBA is pure bs, this is not our culture .Do we really need to adopt every filth from the west?
I like Selly though just she won't uncloth herself .

What do you know about African culture? Do you think Africa is one big tribe with one culture ? And if you hate the show that much , why did you watch it and comment on a thread about it? Why not just ignore it instead of whinning ?

OAM4J: true!

If he is doing well, he is one proud British guy, he commits a crime and he becomes an African Immigrant, even if it was his great great grand father that migrated to Britain.

Just as if he is British and successful but of Nigerian origin but with absolutely no other connection to Nigeria, we would proudly claim he is Nigerian but when tragic stuff like this happens, we are quick to say he is more British than Nigerian.

coputa: @mac73.....because big brother Africa is rated 18 and is being subscribed for, does that make it a pleasant show....if you must know,it is more destructive than boko haram...are you aware tiat tenagers watch this show more than anyone else,they follow the story line with seriousnes that they would have channel into their academics.....is this what you are justifying......

And who is to blame for that? The BBA show or their parents? Teenagers want to party, drink, have sex and drive cars before they are old enough to do so. so, what do we do? Ban parties, drinks, sex and cars just so they won't be distracted, abi?

coputa: The culture of nudity is gradually coming to stay in Africa through Big brothers Africa reality show...it has infiltrated into our value system to the extent that married house mates dont even see anything wrong,when they sleep with a fellow house mate..we have thrown caution to the wind by allowing this show of shame to be shown in virtually every home in Nigeria nay Africa...,,.it is mind breaking and painful that (as the least developed continent in the world ) this the only lagacy (aside curruption ) that we want to bequeat to our children.......is there any hope for us..

The mindless killings that have taken place in Naija in the last week are less of a bother to you than a reality show that is rated 18 and which you have to subscribe to watch, abi?

Says the woman who held an entire nation to ransom just so she could cling on to power, of her husband who, knowing full well the limitation on his abilities given his state of health, almost brought an entire nation to a standstill. Yes Madam, the history of Nigeria would most certainly have been different if he were alive. Things would have been much worse than they presently are!

Grrr! Always leave the last button on your jacket unbuttoned!

Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber in Die Hard

Hmm, that would be just about every Nigerian actor in just about every movie they star in. If the word "stereotype" were an actor, you know for sure Nollywood would stereotype it!

Goodluck with that! (Pun intended). Seriously, with the kind of asinine home videos Nollywood proudly churns out,a quest to make GEJ the next president of the United States of America will be more feasible.

A great irony in life is that the sanctimonious self-righteous puritans who are quick to see the end times in views and beliefs different from theirs respond with a judgmental vileness that is antithetical to the tenets of the faith they espouse such that they end up epitomizing the very evil that plagues humanity. Nowhere is this irony more evident than in Nigeria, the supposed bastion of all that is moral and righteous.

I hope we realise that Tigers are not indigenous to Africa.

Logicboy, you can make your arguments without being insulting. Take a cue from kingoflag. While I get the point of your original post, suffice it to say, you proceeded from a flawed premise. People ( and not just Nigerians) should question religion (and not just christianity) as we know it today not because "the British have dropped it" (whatever that means) as you say but because we should not be satisfied with accepting what has been passed down as absolute truths. Every people, person and generation should be able to subject precepts handed down to them to critical reasoning rather than follow such precepts sheepishly. That's why we have a brain. Let's debate and not insult and while at it, agree to disagree. Cheers.

That's a tree shaker! somebody call Troy Landry and the Swamp people!
