GistMore.com Actress, Grace Ama, has explained why she has shunned politics despite the fact that she thinks the government doesn’t have the interest of Nollywood at heart. In an encounter with Sunday Scoop, Ama said she wouldn’t go into politics in Nigeria because she was not ready to die. She stated, “I wouldn’t discourage my colleagues in politics but I don’t have an interest in Nigerian politics. If an individual can play the game, he or she can go ahead. As for me, my life is sweet and I am not ready to die.” She also pointed out that she wasn’t supporting any party. “I can change my mind later in the future and become a member of a political party but it is not on my mind at the moment. Politics in Nigeria is a do-or-die affair,” he added. Ama lamented that the government only remembered Nollywood when elections were drawing near. She said, “In Nollywood, we hardly get any form of support from the government. We make things happen individually but we cannot do it alone. Nollywood contributes a lot to the Nigerian economy; so, the government shouldn’t just use us for campaigns during elections. Once the government gets involved, actors will make money and live good lives.” The actress stated that her passion for acting was the only thing that had kept her in the industry. She said, “There is no money in acting but I pray things would get better.” See more; http://gistmore.com/im-not-interested-in-politics-i-dont-want-to-die-actress-grace-ama

GistMore.com Movie director, Chico Ejiro, has described his wife as the wind beneath his wings as regards his successful career. Ejiro is known for directing many of the movies that dominated the entertainment scene in the 1990s. Speaking to Saturday Beats, he said his wife’s good understanding of the nature of the profession has helped him to be able to strike a balance between work and family despite his busy schedule. “I have only been able to manage my career and family because of my understanding wife who is also a producer and fashion designer. Anytime I am away from home, she understands that it is the nature of my job. I have never thought of leaving my profession for another. “Even when someone died on my movie set in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, I was still not discouraged. I became a director by accident, I didn’t plan to. I developed interest in being a director when I worked in NTA for a while. My most challenging movie was ‘Full Moon’ but it came out to be very good,” he said. Asked about his absence in major movie productions recently, he noted that he had been more involved in television series and only did a major movie production recently. “I was more involved in television series than movie production; that is why it seemed like I slowed down a little. Compared to the 1990s, we have more sophisticated equipment for movie production now than before. We don’t produce our movies in compact discs anymore because things have evolved. Producing a movie now is more expensive than before. “We used to make more profit when our movies were produced in CDs compared to now that they are online and at the cinema. Notwithstanding, we have to evolve with technology. The most challenging part of being an actor is trying to organise our cast and crew together and making sure that everything is in place. The most important thing in Nigeria for a director is adequate funding. “The major inspiration behind my recent movie was humour; I just wanted something that would make people relax and laugh. The future of Nollywood is bright because the Federal Government has shown that it’ll support us after it realised it is an industry that generates revenue and creates employment,” he said.

GistMore.com A lady has narrowly escaped death after being shot in the head by a police escort trying to rescue her from a dog attacking her, yesterday, around Etete GRA, #Benin, Edo. Giving an account of the incident, a Good Samaritan who rushed the lady to the hospital, said: “I was taking myself out when I saw a woman being attacked by dogs and a hilux stopped while a policeman came down. I thought he was going to kick the dogs out but he cocked his gun and fired at the dogs but it missed and hit the woman. The policeman fled immediately and I had to stop to pick her up. So we ended here at the hospital. Thank God for life. She was taken to UBTH. It was so painful we couldn’t get the plate number of the hilux.” Watch video here; http://gistmore.com/policeman-shoots-a-lady-while-trying-to-shoot-a-dog
