[quote author=TunezMediaTV post=49377596]Femi Branch Angry At 'Nollywood Stars' That Met Mark Zuckerberg [VIDEO]
Nollywood actor, Femi Branch has lashed out at people who have been giving the wrong impression about what the body, Nollywood entails.
The Ogun state star who has been in the movie industry since 1991 as a student, was reacting to a video that shows, Facebook boss, Mark Zuckerberg getting introduced to Nollywood artistes, that showed, Yemi Alade, Dj Cuppy, Chidinma, Basketmouth and others..
In a post on social media, 46-year-old Femi said he was pissed off at the way Nigerians represent themselves to foreigners.
In his words;
"Was really pissed off at the way we misrepresent ourselves to foreigners sometimes. Imagine this fellow saying "Here we have all the major Artistes"?? Seriously?!?! These are all the major stars in Nollywood?!?! And are Yemi Alade, Chidinma, Basketmouth and Co Nollywood Artistes?!?! This is really idiotic to say the least!!!
Nollywood means the Nigerian Movie industry, which comprises all screen Actors and practitioners in Nigeria. It does not mean the Nigerian Entertainment industry, which Nollywood itself belongs to. We should be more careful when presenting such vital information to foreigners so they don't leave confused."
RE:@Femi Branch,your submission is so petty.Why are you making something out of their visit to Mark.Everyone of them that visited are entertainers whether Nollywood ,comedian or dancers.Your physical expression and some utterance indicates bitterness and struggle all over u.Pls this life is more than all these lamentation.#ALLISVANITY! Thank God,Mark didn't give them any cash or plagues as Nollywood top-notch,by now you would have been considering suicide.For your information,they visited as individuals and mentioned their profession when and where necessary.
Honestly,this people don't have common sense.l wish she built a Hospital with the cash instead of Hotel.Her case would've received another look.If she comes out of this,surely she will loose her voice.Chai ! Chai !! Chai !!!.
ChangeIsCostant: A young Nigerian girl identified as Funmi -has decided to tow her own path in life by enrolling in the United States army. The young girl who just finished college -was among the recent recruits and is serving at Fort Sill Army Post in Oklahoma..
According to her, she has always excelled where people think less of her as she's set to mark her name in the United States military. We wish her the best of luck....
Mayflowa: Lol. Clearly, that was wrong and unthoughtful of the wife but this guy is uncaring and pay no attention to his wife which is equally wrong. He just thinks in term of money which is. Nothing once u hv it. Remember the wife is pressured especially when she doesn't have friend in Saudi Arabia. She cannot also drive without her husband and this guy almost broke her hand.
Now many wives do worse. What about those that cheat? Which is worse? They hv issues and must look for a way to resolve it. Are you advising he should do away with his wife?
According to d husband,he has not been enjoying their marriage of over one year.That he has been seeing strange things despite been d wife been her course mate.According to him,he has overlooked a lot of things because he loves her.l think she is taking yhat advantage.If u fail to nip somethings at the board,d will surely hunt u.I maintain that d spat was just extreme and that is my major concern .We are just commenting on spit,tomorrow might be stab or poison.
Mayflowa: So much for a married woman! You are not nice at all. Do you know how many women accept men back after straying? You should hear from the woman first. By the way, he started the trouble
No need to hear from the woman.Spat on his face ?No no noWithout d spat,its not an issue as such.
nameerfhtennek: It's more than 20minutes, I'm still unable to put words together to begin this story. I will try keep it simple and necessarily detailed so everyone will understand the true picture of what happened, why against my belief that writing personal experiences on social media is immature, I had to still write mine. Let's just say I'm not thinking right now, maybe I'm so upset but truth is, I need your advice.
I'm writing this thread seated at the back of a Hilux truck just outside our apartment. Yaa, that me in the picture. You see, today is EID and believe me I should be resting in the house since I'm not working today. Days like this only come by 6times in a whole year and more than anything, I would have loved resting than being out here.
It was yesterday evening, she called and said she her driver were headed to my office. She wanted to pick some stuffs around my office. Yaa, I forgot to say this is Saudi Arabia. If you know Saudi quite well, you will agree with me that a husband will definitely get exhausted running errands for his wife or the family. I was not in the mood for shopping but she wanted to shop. She got upset that I didn't want to accompany her shopping.
She did her shopping alone and returned few minutes before I closed from work. We headed home. Unknown to me, I forgot my internet router in my office because I was rushing to get home and continue with my FIFA 16. Her internet service expired some days back so we were using mine.
While playing game, she walked into the seating room and demanded for my router. Mine, not hers. With her tone and facial expression demanding the router, I didn't respond because there was an indication that she was warming up for a quarrel. I wasn't just in the mood. The thing is, she is very skilled in extending her anger phases. That is one thing I can't understand till today. Believe me, it was not like this while we were dating. Sorry, I forgot to tell you I married my university girlfriend, she years my junior and the same department. Ya, I'm one of those guys that dated and planned for the future with their girls at the same time. God blessed that plan but at this point I don't understand everything that has been happening for the past one year plus since we got married. She repeatedly demanded that I handed over my router to her but I was quiet. Meanwhile, it occurred to me that I forgot the router in my office the minute she first asked about it. Truth is, I actually needed to use the internet that night for my online FIFA.
After several times of asking for the router and no response from me, she took the TV remote and switched off the TV. She walked straight to the kitchen and hid the remote. I approached her in the kitchen and told her I was not ready for any kinda quarrel. We have had enough for the past one year of getting married. I then told her I forgot the router in my office, I didn't have it. I guess she didn't believe me, she never did. She told me to leave her alone. I returned back to the seating room with my heart beating fast. I knew she wanted a serious quarrel that night. After some minutes, I returned to the kitchen and requested for the remote. Then I figured out she hid it in her pant. Pretending I was passing by, I swiftly went for the remote from under her short gown and grabbed it. She didn't expect I knew where she hid it. She followed me behind and ceased the game console, second indication she wanted me to react. I do have a problem with my temper just like every human, male or female. I have also learnt to deal with it by walking away at times I feel I was going to lose it. The same reason I'm outside at this time, 9:55 pm Saudi time. She knows I have fought hard to tame my temper issues but most times, she makes deliberate efforts to have me overreact to her nags and rants.
I watched her hide the console in her pant yet again. I shuddered in obvious fear because I knew what the woman wanted, a fight. Unable to deal with it,the intimidation and the shame, I went for the console and squeezed it out from her hand while she was trying to hold it tight. That was when the trouble then started. She wanted a buffer to help her spill everything she had nursed in her mind. "You are a violent person!! You can kill, idiot!! You were not shown love by your parents, that is why you will squeeze your wife's hand to collect the console. They allowed you to grow up in the street without parental guidance and love." Then it came....pwaaaaaaah!!! She spat on my face!!!!! God knows, I have never been spat at before, not by my parents, not by my siblings, not by anybody. " I agree I was not shown love by my parents but your Dad is a coward for running away from your mother without being there for you guys when he needed to play his roles as a father. That explains the reason you are like this", I said and walked back to the seating room.
I managed to play a few games which I lost mostly and then slept off around past 5am this morning. Around 3pm, I woke up and went to the office. Not like I had work but I needed to clear my head away from the house. If only there was alcohol in Saudi, I would have been somewhere in a hotel drinking away the shame. When I returned home by past 7pm, hungry and tired. I needed to continue my game but I could no longer find the game console and the TV remote. I asked for it and she ignored me. I managed to eat and then left the house to this truck.
You see, I love my wife more than anything, more than anyone. She is one person in the whole world I could go any length for. I love her, that was why I forgave her when she broke up with me after I left Nigeria for Saudi Arabia. She broke up with me few months after I came to Saudi and started dating another guy twice her age. She says she never expected I would come back to her after she left me but I did. I did because I saw a future with her, a future I imagined, believed in and worked towards its reality. Today we have gotten to a level where most people out there would want to be, our colleagues envy is because they believe we are privileged and blessed but what they don't know is that in the truth, I have no peace. This marriage has become my legacy and my curse.
I want to send her back to Nigeria in few days time and I hope I'm not making a mistake!!! Spitting on my face, nah nah....am so fed up!!!!
This one pass "Telemundo".l would've told you what to do but there's no need since you've not been enjoying your marriage.Just a perfect solution!

robedu: I graduated quite early and at 22 i already had an okay job, my education was miraculously funded with the little meaner jobs i was doing from house girl to sale's girl, typist etc.
So when i had a job, i decided to help my other siblings both younger and elder ones get qualitative education, for 4 years i work solely to pay their fees, i had no savings, so finally last year the last one standing graduated and i thought i was going to breath fresh air.
One came to stay with me, my immediate elder brother, after his NYSC he started job hunting and couldnt get any, he came to me to explain that he wants to go into photography, that he will use that to establish himself since there are no jobs coming forth, i went ahead to buy expensive photo camera, photo light, printers and all sort of photography stuff for him. weeks pass, months pass without him making any good out of the photography business, i keep on advising him and all.
But early this year when my car started having issues, i decided to change the car, when he saw that i wanted to buy a new car, he came to me to explain that the photography business is not moving, and that i should buy a car that will be accepted in Uber, so he can be driving the car for Uber transport at the weekends when i will not be using the car, initially the car i wanted to buy wasn't uber spec, i wanted to get Lexus 350 or Prius, but because of the way he pleaded with me, i decided to buy camry 2010 which was uber spec so he can use it.
After i got the car, i taught him how to drive and he started driving the car during the weekend, later he came to tell me he can be using the car in the afternoon when i am at work then he will drop me in the morning and pick me up in the evening. this was the hardest part, i couldnt bear not having a car to move around for lunch or client meetings in the afternoon, then he begged me that if i allow him use the car in the day, in 6 months he will make enough money to buy his own car and leave me alone.
So i agreed to allow him use the car in the afternoon, it was the toughest decision have made in my life, I could no longer go for lunch except with one of my colleagues, i had to hire other uber taxi for client meetings, i couldnt have my life like before, but the troubled part was the fact that my brother became arrogant, to even take me to work with my own car became so difficult, he will hurry me to do quick let him drop me else he is going to leave me at home, he doesnt come to pick me anymore from work, i remember the day i had to wait till 11.30pm in the office because the rain was falling and he said i should just find my way, life became so difficult but i was going to bear it for the next 6 months.
But unfortunately, 3 months after he didnt come home that night but that was not the first time he will sleep out so i thought it was his usual ways, i use public transport that day to work, in the office one of his friend called that he had accident and the police said i should come, i went there and the DPO told me why i had to leave my car for somene who is so irresponsible, that he was so drunk last night when he ran into another car, he could not deny that he was driving under the influence of alcohol, i had to start begging the police who refuse to listen to our plea.
He was taken to court where i was ask to bail him out with 50,000, i spend alot of money trying to bury the case, then I had to pay all sort of damages before taking the two cars (the one he hits and my own) to repair, while all of these lasted my head was banging and i was really stressed.
After all of these the car is still being fixed at the mechanic workshop, my brother has not seen anything wrong in all he has done, no sorry whatsoever, instead he came to challenge me to hurry the mechanic to finish up repairs on time so he can start work.
I was thinking that i will not give him the car anymore, but my sister was begging i let go.
What do you think i should do.
I am SMH 4u.My dear listen to me if u really need an advice.Unfortunately this is happening because you are yet to get married i guess,can he try it if u were in your husband's house.God who sees your good intentions over them will bring a nice guy your way.l want you to know that if your job stops today,that your brother/siblings wouldn't die and what u may receive in return might shock you.His wife tomorrow might be your greatest enemy.U must create comfort for yourself.I don't see anywhere u are owing them again after all the school sacrifice.Kindly take up project that will constantly be taking your time and money so that you can secure your future.I believe u still have some loose cash and also free,dats y it's like this.By the time things are not the way he expects he will advice himself.l don't mind depending on your financial capacity settling him with d car with d knowledge of some "Trusted order".And If by any means it continues,abandone the house by d expiration of d rent and join a friend and pay for a new accomodation where u can have a master's room apartment alone to yourself.Even if things are still moving fine,u need to fake economic recession.A lot of people faced a similar issue like you and their story today is not a nice one.All the best!
mrphysics: statistics have shown that more corpers die in south south than North west of recent. one thing that pushes prospective corps members from choosing Kano state as their choice of state is insecurity and unless they are told they wouldn't believe that Kano is more secure than other states unlike what is widely thought. Serving in Kano state has been a blessing and I have seen reasons why YOU should choose Kano state.
I Will spend time talking about Kano state and give some detailed reason why Kano should be your first choice of state during NYSC.
let's get started
one: Security when the call up letter showed and I was posted to Kano, The fear of security gave me some sleepless night. as the only son, my physical well being is not only important but paramount to my decision making, but I can boldly tell you that as a Corp member in Kano, you are more secured than anyone. since we came, we haven't heard of any Corp member dying because of security, not even beating or attacked. those serving in villages are given tight security and their affairs given top priority. The natives of Kano have been warned to obey Corpers. they respect you, love you, honour you and render help to you as long as you let them know you are a corper. unlike what is heard in other states of Corpers dying, beating or kidnapped.
Also, due to the sensitivity of security here in Kano, your movement is restricted only by yourself making you more secured as no one will ever think of breaking into your house to harm you.
Kano indigenes are very religious and as such most of them can't harm you. ladies are angels in Kano. everything favours them, they can't be raped nor harassed provided they respect themselves by dressing decently. you see, security is not a reason why you shouldn't choose Kano state. Everywhere in Kano is well secured, you can see the presence of security in most places even at your work places. l challenge you to call any serving corper in Kano and you will never here that her security is bleached. As a corper you are more secure than anyone else living in Kano. Always go with your I. D card.
hahn: So, where does this leave the guy whose "portion" this is?
And MUST u respond to every religious and spiritual comment on this platform.Even when it has to do with sending out condolences to the family of the deceased.Honestly,it getting petty for crying out loud.

The University attended is not the problem but her resilient nature.
Sermwell: I feel going to church is just a waste of time since they are all going to be repeating themselves everyone here in our house is busy preparing for tomorrow's sunday service but I don't see the big deal and I'm already making up my mind not to attend any church service anymore! I'm just tired abeg!! I hope this is normal!
If u decide to be a fall out from the members of your family.Dat doesn't change anything.Your decision is purely personal.Don't come on this platform to win soul for yourself and cohort.Christianity is Liberal,you can choose to attend a thousand churches and withdraw from all d next day,who cares!

KillerBeauty: I recently just got a job and i wasn't offered an employment letter. They just told me my salary, period of probation and when to resume verbally without making it official. I'm kind of skeptical about the offer because the firm is a new one. I want to know the implication of this before committing myself to the job.

Dreamwaker: My wifey has got an interview for Nigerian visa on the 12th of September but the federal government called for a public holiday.
