Dangerous Love !!

I've seen that movie B4

Oh crap !

Monday

'

A funeral service is being held in a chuch for a
woman who has just passed away. At the end of
the service, the pallbearers carrying the casket
accidentally bump into a wall jarring the casket.
They hear a faint moan. They open the casket
and find that the women is actually alive. She
lives for 10 more years and then dies. A ceremony
is again held at the same church and at the end
the pallbearers are again carrying the casket out.
As they are walking, the husband calls out,
"Watch out for the wall!"

A little girl became restless as the
preacher's sermon dragged on and on.
Finally, she leaned over to her mother and
whispered, "Mommy, if we give him the
money now, will he let us go?"

A boy was watching his father, a pastor,
write a sermon. "How do you know what to
say?" he asked.
"Why, God tells me."
"Oh, then why do you keep crossing things
out?"

A kindergarten teacher was walking
around observing her classroom of children while
they were drawing pictures. As she got to one girl
who was working diligently, she asked what the
drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one
knows what God looks like."
Without looking up from her drawing, the girl
replied,
"They will in a minute."

Actors like hugo weaving and a few not too popular actors have nigerian roots,Hugo weaving(Matrix trilogy and Lord of the rings trilogy) was born in nigeria but will never even speak of it just because it might make his hollywood pals to start digging and stumble upon the disgrace known as nollywood. The list is endless,there are so many popular hollywood big weights who would have loved to star in a nollywood flick if nollywood was not a disgrace. Just try and watch the credits of any popular hollywood box office movie and you will see so many nigerian names but you will never see them do any proffesional work in a nollywood just because of their amateur standard of their actors and the industry. Abeg help me beg these people to stop disgracing me. The worst is that dark lady mercy johnson,she has no class at all,i have never heard where she rejected any movie. imagine she even made a dumb movie when she travelled to london to give birth and called it mercy johnson in london or whatever.

Nollywood needs to step up so the likes of "Hugo weaving", Angelina Jolie, Brad pitt, Jason Statham would like to act in our movies"

Even the scripts should start reflecting and infusing crossovers if this would be possible,

And the politics they run with the industry has got to stop too.

Orikinla:
Relevant where?
Just being on 2013 TIME 100 List of icons, made the entire Nollywood to host her in a big red carpet event.
Imagine what will happen if Omotola gets a major role in a Spielberg's film?
The news will make front page headlines on all news media channels in Nigeria.
The news of Lupita Nyong’o's film adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's award winning novel “Americanah” is making headlines all over the world and a Nigerian actor David Oyelowo is already being considered to play a leading role in the movie.
http://variety.com/2014/film/news/david-oyelowo-to-star-with-lupita-nyongo-in-americanah-exclusive-1201377306/
Lupita is not even looking in the direction of Nollywood for her casting!

Omotola and her peers in Nollywood need to see the BIG PICTURE and stop competing against themselves in Nigeria.
They should go out there and compete on the big stage.
David Oyelowo of Yoruba Saxon Productions has already got Golden Globe nomination for playing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Ava DuVernay’s “Selma.”

Did omotola claim to know him,what is the reason for posting this nonsense

Orikinla:
Then why did she rush to pose with him?
You cannot comprehend the subject.
It is beyond you. So, just ignore what you are clueless about.

pomporiking Did Omo Tell you she dosn't know him?
of course she does someone must have hinted her nau!! . .. Or maybe u'r thinking it's Spielberg that rushed to go and pose with her abi*

cupidhero:
Please if you claim you know about movies and you don't know steven spielberg then you deserve small deliverance. It's like saying you love superhero flicks and yet you can't recognize or know stan lee. Omotola would have introduced herself to him rather than waiting for a man who shaped hollywood to recognize her.This is what you get for starring in 300 shitty movies in an industry with zero talent.

Do you mean she didn't introduce herself, she just snapped only pishure, na wa for d Madam oo

Even me wey neva act any film, if I get dat opportunity to meet d guy,
I won't act like a fan oo o

"Neither would I lie" (mind you)
I'd just package myself,
E fit giv me job like dt like dt

Ibadannimowa:
Who is Steven Spielberg?
I'll rather be a prince at home than a slave abroad.

We don care whether he knows her or not. Omosexy ride on sweety.

Well it's clear she doesn't want to be just a Queen here, she wants to be a Queen there too,
And it ain't gon b easy*
I bet she'd grab d opportunity if she gets it"

SexyFox:
when was the last time I watch hollywood film *thinking*



huh, I cant remember :/.


I watch mostly Korea, Phillipins,Mexico,Indian films, once in a while I watch Nollywood films. And once in a diamond moon I watch hollywood films. So yes, I dont know him. 8-)

Hmmm. .. You a should try watching hollywood films some more, you'd love it*

I don't understand why u don't, I watch all kinds of film, even the ones u mentioned, by I can assure u hollywood got stuff,

unless u just don't like them*

itstpia8:
No, its not about anything you mentioned.

Its more serious than that.

So what's it about?

starlingleanets:
There is nothing like born again christains.

Enlighten Us !

All our schOol don burn finish wetin happen!!

Dis is suspicious o oo

Some people are missing the context of this article, its not even about spielberg knowing her,

It's about her moving up and competing with the best in the world*

Either she does that or she keeps sulking in her comfort zone"

A typical example is Chris Attoh from Tinsel who's gona be staring in his first Hollywood blockbuster, tho the film looks low budget,

But it still goes to show he's thinkn outside the box.

Orikinla:
Yes, legendary Academy Award winning director Steven Spielberg knows Lupita Nyong'o of Kenya who is famous for winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her critically acclaimed role of "Patsey" in Steve McQueen's multiple award winning historical drama "12 Years a Slave" (2013), and he also knows Rachel Mwanza of Democratic Republic of the Congo who won the coveted Silver Bear for Best Actress at the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival in February 2012, Best Actress at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival, Vancouver Film Critics Circle in 2012 and Best Actress at the 1st Canadian Screen Awards for her unforgettable role as "Komona" in the Academy Award nominated film "War Witch" (French: Rebelle) by Kim Nguyen. But Spielberg did not know Nigeria's Queen of Nollywood Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, aka Omosexy when he met her for the first time in 2013.

"She scores a zero on the Hollywood Richter scale. She has never starred in a major motion picture. Her most recent film, Last Flight to Abuja, means nothing to devotees of Netflix and LoveFilm," reported Ben Arogundade for the Telegraph of UK on August 28, 2013. And went on to add that world famous Steven Spielberg did not know her even though she was sitting next to him at the TIME 100 Gala dinner she was attending as one of the 2013 TIME 100 Most Influential People in the World.
He did not know her even though she has acted leading roles in more than 300 Nollywood movies and has her own reality TV show "The Real Me" on the AfricaMagic channel of M-Net Africa's DStv, MultiChoice's digital satellite TV service launched in 1995.

But why?

Steven Spielberg did not know Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, because she has never starred in a major motion picture by Hollywood standards.

What of her role as "Anya" in Chineze Anyaene's "Ijé-the Journey" in 2010?

That was a great role that I would even call an Oscar performance, but "Ijé" was not a major motion picture and did not even have any Hollywood theatrical release like Tony Abulu's "Doctor Bello" and Biyi Bandele's "Half of a Yellow Sun" of 2013, even though the two films were among the worst box office flops of the year.

Omotola is yet to star in a major motion picture and until she does, Spielberg and other leading world class directors will continue to ignore her.
And she must not rest on the oars of her Nollywood glories, because the only way she can prove that she is a world class actress is to compete with the best in motion picture where Lupita Nyong'o, Rachel Mwanza , Leleti Khumalo, Wunmi Mosaku, Carmen Elizabeth Ejogo and other African actresses are making headlines and making millions of dollars. She has conquered Nollywood and now is the time to step up and move on to greater heights in her acting career until she can walk on the red carpet of the Cannes and Oscars as a competitor and not as a spectator.

For those on Nairaland, who don't know who is Steven Spielberg.
He is an American film director who is one of the most accomplished important filmmakers in the history of motion picture. He has won two Academy Awards for his "Schindler's List" (1993 / 66th Academy Awards) and "Saving Private Ryan" (1998 / 71st Academy Awards) and has received a total of 7 Academy Award nominations.
Most people in the world know him for his blockbusters "Jaws" (1975), "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (1982), and "Jurassic Park (1993). His films have made more than US$8.5 billion worldwide with Spielberg making more than US$3 billion according to Forbes.

That's her own business if she want's to move on up it's her choice,

As for me let just work for spielberg for one day, just behind the scene . .. The rest is History.
#Networking To Badt"

The classic passage from the Bible that
answers this question is John 3:1-21. The Lord
Jesus Christ is talking to Nicodemus, a prominent
Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin (the
ruling body of the Jews). Nicodemus had come to
Jesus at night with some questions.
As Jesus talked with Nicodemus, He said, “‘I tell
you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God
unless he is born again.’ ‘How can a man be born
when he is old?’ Nicodemus asked. ‘Surely he
cannot enter a second time into his mother’s
womb to be born!’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you the
truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God
unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh
gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to
spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying,
“You must be born again”’” ( John 3:3-7).


The phrase "born again" literally means "born
from above." Nicodemus had a real need. He
needed a change of his heart—a spiritual
transformation. New birth, being born again, is an
act of God whereby eternal life is imparted to the
person who believes ( 2 Corinthians 5:17; Titus
3:5; 1 Peter 1:3; 1 John 2:29; 3:9; 4:7; 5:1-4, 18).
John 1:12, 13 indicates that being "born again"
also carries the idea of "becoming children of
God" through trust in the name of Jesus Christ.
The question logically comes, "Why does a person
need to be born again?"

The apostle Paul in
Ephesians 2:1 says, "And you He made alive, who
were dead in trespasses and sins" (NKJV). To the
Romans he wrote, "For all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God" ( Romans 3:23). Sinners
are spiritually “dead”; when they receive spiritual
life through faith in Christ, the Bible likens it to a
rebirth. Only those who are born again have their
sins forgiven and have a relationship with God.

How does that come to be? Ephesians 2:8-9
states, "For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is
the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can
boast." When one is saved, he/she has been born
again, spiritually renewed, and is now a child of
God by right of new birth. Trusting in Jesus
Christ, the One who paid the penalty of sin when
He died on the cross, is the means to be "born
again." "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a
new creation: the old has gone, the new has
come!" ( 2 Corinthians 5:17).

If you have never trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ
as your Savior, will you consider the prompting of
the Holy Spirit as He speaks to your heart? You
need to be born again. Will you pray the prayer of
repentance and become a new creation in Christ
today? "Yet to all who received him, to those who
believed in his name, he gave the right to
become children of God— children born not of
natural descent, nor of human decision or a
husband’s will, but born of God" ( John 1:12-13).

If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior
and be born again, here is a sample prayer.
Remember, saying this prayer or any other prayer
will not save you. It is only trusting in Christ that
can save you from sin. This prayer is simply a way
to express to God your faith in Him and thank
Him for providing for your salvation.

"God, I know
that I have sinned against you and am deserving
of punishment. But Jesus Christ took the
punishment that I deserve so that through faith
in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You
for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace
and forgiveness—the gift of eternal life! Amen!"

Chris Attoh has every reason to smile,
As he's soon to star in a Hollywood Tvseries "The Rangers" in his words . ..

"When I auditioned my heart was pounding, but
when the news came I was assured once again
that this is my calling! Thanking Baba God!!!
Look out "The Rangers" coming soon!"

The Rangers will be set around a special force of
elite warriors who operate on the fringe of the
kingdom of Olaran, using their unique set of
wilderness skills to bring justice to the
borderlands. The Rangers which is expected to
be in the realm of "Lord of the Rings" and "Game

Click Yes or No

*Inspiration 2 keep you going*

There are those times it feels like nothing is working,
it'll never get better,
u ask urself if you're Jinxed,


Try to reflect and think about all the good times,
if you think there's non,

Think about been born
(Well you might say born to a wicked world)

Well remember been born makes you a winner, you're the one that succeeded in the race to be born,

That is a sign of good things,
Means you were born for a reason
Giving up now would mean been a failure,
Having not completed or fulfilled the purposes of your life,

Take a good look at your life now, whatever the circumstances change the way you see it*

Pick up the pieces and move on . ..

Every problem in ur life is a problem only because it has a solution somewhere, which you need to find*

What's really the difference from the old note apart from the fact that its a new design,
What change can it really bring,

On the long run is this new note worth it, if your printing a new currency there should be an advantage or what we Nigerians stand to gain,
or is this just another avenue for some of this our politicians to . .. Ermmm what's d word again"

Just wondering how much was spent in printing this new Currency. ..

On first contact you'd think this money is #10


Hope nobody makes the mistake of mixing em up

This #100 sef dat does not even equate to a Dollar wats d point*

drake99:
Someone got born again and then deleted all his girlfriend's contacts because he knows with them in his life the journey of knowing God won't work out

Now the sex hormone is against him for keeping away for a long time,he still doesn't need a girlfriend because he needs no distraction

Now he is contemplating on taking a runs girl for a night to quench this urge and move on with his spiritual life,its wrong but how wrong is it?

Don't say he should pray for the urge to disappear,no not all,nature is different from spirituality
