Jarus:
I'm not so much of a home video lover, except some extremely funny comedies, but mixing with Hausa/Fulani folk in my one year stay in the north, and now back in Lagos, being close to my estate's Hausa security guys(they are actually from Borno and not real Hausa, neither are they Kanuri, but we call all of them Hausa), I can shed some light on the Hausa film industry.

-They call it Kannywood and style it after Bollywood(or is that not what Indian film industry is called?)
-It is strictly cultural- no touching of opposite sex, immorality at barest minimum
-Their biggest star is Ali Nuhu, a 1997 geography graduate of Unijos from Gombe state but grew up in Maiduguri and Kano. It seems he's the most educated of all Hausa actors, speaks English fluently, won Nigerian actor of the year(I think) in 2007, featured in some Nollywood movies. Sings as well. Quite handsome. Highly reverred in the north. He is a friend. We met on facebook a couple of months ago.
-Sani Danja is their second biggest star. He sings as well. Learnt his mother is Yoruba. Like someone mentioned up there, he's a local champion and highly reverred up there too.
-Other big names in Kannywood are Maryam Hiyana, Qubrah Dacko, Sadiya Gyale, Ibrahim Babale, Hafsah Sheu, Ahmed S. Nuhu(died in auto crash 3 years ago), and Ibroo(a comedian)
-Virtually all of them sing
-They are highly respected and sought-after among the youths, but equally loathed by many adults and religious scholars who believe they are agents of erosion to Hausa/Fulani culture
-Save Ali Nuhu, they don't feature in Nollywood, due, probably, to sharp difference in culture and communication barrier(ba Turenchi).


I hope this helps.

using corruption to fight corruption, what an irony!

Look,God is not in need of any sacrifice before he can forgive sins.

All what God wants is that people themselves should repent, leave their sins and pray to Him for mercy. GOD has very kindly told us that:but if a wicked man turns away from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all my statues and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.(Ezekiel 18:21)

i desire mercy and not sacrifice (matt. 9:13, 12:7). How can you know what God wants, when he says this? ?

Moreover what sin are you having that he came to redeem from you that those before Jesus were not redeemed from

Isaiah 52:13-53:12 “See my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. Just as there were many who were appalled at him - his appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness - so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.

Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way, and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the LORD’S will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand. After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”

The plan of the jews is to kill jesus christ because they think he is a false prophet. According to their law, a person who dies on the cross is an accursed of God(deut 21:23), and Jesus is not. If therefore the christian accept that jesus died on the cross, then the jews would be right for denying him, if they are not,then the christians should give an explanation for this.
