A 64-year-old bricklayer whose daughter allegedly turned from a bird to a human being last Thursday in Lagos, has confessed that the 18-year old girl is probably a witch.

Mr. Abel Oluwadiran, a father of six who lives at Mangoro area of Agege, a Lagos suburb, also revealed that Bukola, her daughter, has been having some psychiatric and spiritual problems for the past five years.

The news of a bird transforming into a girl in the Iju area of Agege spread like wildfire throughout the nooks and crannies of Lagos metropolis, attracting curious residents who thronged the Celestial Church of Christ, Ajinde Titun Central parish on Agbado Road where the transformation took place to catch a glimpse of the alleged witch.

Speaking to Daily Sun at the premises of the church in Oluwadiran, a native of Erimo, Ilesha in Osun State said: "Yes, she is my daughter, she is sick and we have taken her to different places for deliverance."

Shocked, confused and totally embarrassed, Oluwadiran spoke almost inaudibly, saying Bukola’s health has always been a source of worry to the entire family: "before now, she was taken to a church for prayers, I don’t know how this thing happened even though she had once confessed that she belonged to the ogbanje cult."

Perhaps one of the most popular actors in Nigeria today are the duo of Osita Iheme and Chinedu Ikhedieze, popularly known as Aki and Pawpaw.

They remind one of the American diminutive actor, Danny da Vitto. Since they broke into limelight some years ago, they have acted in almost all the movies coming out of nollywood.

There is one in which two guys are turned into dwarfs and the dwarfs become Aki and Pawpaw. Can't remember the title. The story goes on and on until the essence of the story is lost.

You see why we are worried? You don't forget the title of such films like Titanic; not even Ali Baba and the forty thieves or The thief of Baghdad.

So many lazy movie producers have tried to exploit the gullibility of the average movie lover to reel out all sorts of movies, thinking that the duo are a hit any day; and that is how they feature in so many movies, from the directionless to the totally absurd.

Recently, the duo featured in the all- white party of a popular soft-sell magazine in Lagos.

As much as there is nothing wrong with that, as other actors were also there, Aki and Paw Paw would do well not to turn themselves into mascots or stock characters. That is the only way they can preserve the identity they have created for themselves.

Hassanat Akinwande Taiwo, a.k.a Wunmi, who was convicted for drug trafficking, is seeking public support to raise the sum of N3.5 million to produce a movie intended to document her drug trafficking ordeal.

“I need the prayers of all Nigerians and I need their financial support to package a movie on my drug ordeal.

“It is not a small amount of money. When I considered the total production cost, it will require about N3.5 million,” said Wunmi this morning, on a live TV programme monitored in Lagos.

The proposed movie, with the working title, Ogun Oloro, Wunmi said, would provide answers to the questions being asked by her fans on what led her into the crime, “so they can learn from my experience.”

The actress also hopes to use the movie to discourage youths from getting involved in drugs.

Wunmi was arrested in Lagos last September at the Murtala Mohammed Airport by NDLEA officials on suspicion of trafficking in cocaine as she was about boarding a Virgin Atlantic aircraft.

The actress later allegedly excreted 92 wraps (1.2 kilogrammes) of the banned substance.

She was found guilty of the crime and later sentenced, on 25 January this year, by a Lagos High Court to three years imprisonment, with a N1 million option of fine.

Wunmi, with the support of her family and colleagues, paid the N1 million fine two weeks later and regained her freedom.

Prior to 1984, film lovers in Nigeria had to be contended with going to cinema houses. The tide changed remarkably when in 1984 when Alade Aromire produced the first made in Nigeria home video titled ‘Ekun.’

Though far from being a commercial success, the production of ‘Ekun’ on VHS format opened a new chapter in the evolution of home video film industry in the country.

It was not until 1996 that home video made its biggest impact in Nigeria. It was the year Kenneth Nnebue produced “Living in Bondage,” a soar-away commercial success. From then, he has produced other equally successful home video like Bondage, True Confessions, Dirty Deal, Glamour Girls, and Rituals etc.

That did not only mark the turning point for the Nigerian film industry but also opened the floodgate of investment, entertainment and employment. The rush to cash in on the glamour inherent in these films, which fascinated viewers, made other movie makers to join in.

At this early stage of the development of the home video industry, the trend was for the marketers to converge in the Surulere Area of Lagos where most of the pioneers of the industry then operated. They include: Zeb Ejiro and his brothers Chico and Peter, Kenneth Nnebue (Nek Video), Opa Williams and several others.

Then, the modus operandi was for the marketers to pay money to the producers who will hire the scriptwriters, the actors and assemble his production crew. The marketers’ surfaces gain to pay the balance of the production in case of outright sales or to negotiate the terms of release of the flick with the movie maker.

In those days, the marketers limited themselves to finding ways to distribute and market the films they were interested in and nothing more. These were the days when films such as Tears for love, Flesh and Blood, Goodbye Tomorrow, Glamour Girls and the rest were made. Such was the success story of the Nigerian move industry a.ka. Nollywood.

The artistes became familiar faces in several parts of Africa and beyond. Nigerian films were hailed for their richness in cultural background, costumes, humour and their distinct difference from that of Hollywood of America and Bollywood of India which the world had been used to.

This was before the marketers hijacked the industry. It all started with Kenneth Nnebue, the pioneer producer to venture into the market at Idumota with his dual role as producer and marketer. The marketers at Idumota also believed that they could handle the roles and now took up the title of executive producer, which gave them the opportunity to dictate to the movie makers. Initially, they started by choosing the kind of stories they wanted and cajoling the producers to use certain locations.

In no space of time, they started dictating the actors and actresses they wanted on films. Before any body could guess their next move, some of them even became directors and established their offices among the film makers themselves.

While the real professionals were yet to fathom that move, the marketers began to dictate who must get roles and who should not get roles. Six years ago the marketers struck with a ban on Hilda Dokubo and Ejike Asiegbu, the offence of the duo was that they were too critical of the marketers. The ban was however, a clandestine affair as they (the marketers) were still afraid to assume such powers.

By 2004, the situation changed completely with the marketers not only dictating who should act in films but also which films should be released into the market and which ones should not. It was that same year that the marketers exercised the biggest power of all when they banned 10 top Nollywood stars alleging indiscipline, very high fees and other sundry matters.

The banned artistes included Richard Mofe Damijo (RMD), Chief Pete Edochie, Nkem Owoh, Ramsey Noah, Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and Stella Damasus. Others were Jim Iyke, Kenneth Okonkwo and Emeka Ike. After one year, the marketers known as the ‘Awka mafias’ with an office in Awka, Anambra State asked the affected stars to appear before them and apologise for their ‘sins.” Nkem Owoh, Kenneth Okonkwo, Pete Edochie, Ransey Noah, Emeka Ike, Jim Iyke reportedly complied with their orders and were unbanned while RMD, Genevieve, Omotola Stella Damasus are yet to comply and remains banned.

Among the marketers that hold sway and call the shots in Nollywood is Ossy Affasson. He is currently the most powerful in the market as the president of the marketers association, Cosmas Ndule, the boss of Contech Films, Ojiofor Ezeanyechie, the boss of O.J. Productions and Sunday Nnajiude. Others include the Amaco Brothers, Gabriel and Damian, the two brothers who are very influential in the movie business, Dozie Eriobu, the boss of Infinity Merchants, Okwytex, Azuka Odunukwe, the boss of Ulzee Nig Ltd and Bonag, run by the most successful couple ever to venture into movie marketing.

The control of the movie industry by the makers and the ban on the top artistes has its good and bad sides. The good aspect of it is that it has given some of them opportunity to venture into other areas, particularly music, among whom are Nkem Owoh, Genevieve Nnaji, Stella Damasus, Omotola Jalade Ekinde etc, while Jim Iyke has ventured into a foundation that has to do with facial deformities and they are all doing well in their new fields of endeavour.

The bad aspect of this hijack of the movie industry by the marketers has to do with the absence of strict implementation of controls, the use of greenhorns, repetitions and fallen standard of production. It is now a case of square pegs in round holes. It is a development that must be checked by the regulatory bodies to save the industry

fuk arsenal , they are done , henry was the face of arsenal now that he is gone , ur freaking darling club is faceless in europe, enough asx whipping is coming ur way suckers!

Police authorities in Lagos State said yesterday that claims by Super Eagles player and Newcastle striker, Obafemi Martins that he was shot at by unknown gunmen last Monday were not true and stated that the only report they received was from his driver who reported that he (the driver) was attacked.

The Command Public Relations Officer, Mr. Bode Ojajuni while reacting to reports that the international soccer star escaped death said he gave a wrong account of the incident to the public.

According to him, “On the said day, one Mr. Femi Onipede who claimed to be a driver to the soccer star called the Police at Victoria Garden City (VGC) to report that he was in a hospital after being attacked by unknown gun men. He said that he went out in search of diesel with an unnamed friend around 1am and that when they got near Alesh Hotel in Ajah, a vehicle hit their mercedez benz M500 with registration number BD 900 BDG

“He told police that he came down from the vehicle after switching off the engine only for the occupants of the car that hit them to start firing at them. He said he was hit in the shoulder by one of the bullets before he ran away from the scene. After reporting the incident, policemen were detailed to the scene and when they got there, they recovered the car.
