Nigeria’s blockbuster movie “The Wedding Party 2-Destination Dubai,” has made over 73 million Naira on its opening weekend, its producers said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the movie was released in cinemas across the country on Friday, December 15.

This feat is now the highest ever in the Nigerian Box Office, breaking the N36 million record set by the first part of the movie,’The Wedding Party 1,’ on its opening weekend last year.

Mo Abudu, Chief Executive of Ebony Studios, one of the producers of movie, made the success of the sequel known on her Instagram page.

She wrote: “what can I say, but thank you Lord. Thank you Nigeria. The Wedding Party 2: Destination Dubai now goes down as the highest opening weekend ever at the Nigerian box office for both Nollywood and international films!

“Last year we did N36m on #TWP1 for our opening weekend, now we have doubled that,this is evidence that Yes We Can and we have!

“Nigeria let’s continue to break this record together, to be the highest grossing film of all time, so that we can tell the world that ‘We Can’”.

NAN reports that Nigerian movie lovers have been expecting this sequel to the inter-tribal-marriage-themed movie, which recently translated to the real life marriage of its main characters Dunni (Adesua) and Dozie (Banky W).

“The Wedding Party 2: Destination Dubai” plot, focuses on Dozie (Banky W) the groom’s brother, Nonso (played by Enyinna Nwigwe), who has continued his romance with Deirdre (played by Daniella Down), the bridesmaid from London.

Nonso proposes by accident, while on a dinner date, and that sets off a chain of intriguing events.

Although, Deirdre’s British family, as well as some members of Nonso’s family were against the pairing and the love birds seemed bothered.

However, after an unpleasant introduction ceremony in Lagos, both families reluctantly agreed to a wedding in Dubai, setting off other comic and chaotic episodes of the Wedding Party Story.

Besides the original movie’s main cast, other Nollywood stars including Patience Ozokwor (Mama G), Omoni Oboli and ace comedians Seyi Law and Chigurl are also featured in the sequel.

The original cast includes Banky W, Adesuwa Etomi, Daniella Down, RMD and Ali Baba.

Others are, Ireti Doyle, Enyinna Nwigwe, Beverly Naya and Somkele Idhalama,among others. (NAN)

The Jama'atu Izalatil Bid'ah Wa'ikamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS) has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Muhammadu Buhari to fulfil the campaign promises they made before the 2015 general elections.

The group disclosed this via a statement through its National Chairman of Ulama Council, Sheikh Muhammad Sani Yahaya Jingir, during the matriculation ceremony of about 105 new students of Sahlan School of Health Technology in Jos yesterday.

Sheikh Jingir explained that APC and Buhari have promised to focus on Agriculture, rehabilitation and construction of new roads, sanitizing education sector and also promised to give N5000 to unemployed, but so far nothing to write home about.

He said, "They said if we voted for them, they promised to improve agriculture, roads, education and pay 5000 to unemployed youths and so far they didn't deliver."

He reminded Buhari and APC that time awaits no one, "therefore do work that would make you to win the hearts of people and to leave a legacy that you would be proud of."

He commended Buhari for the fight against insecurity and corruption, urging the president to use the recovered funds from looters to improve the economy and to better the lives of the Nigerian masses.

A House of Representatives adhoc panel yesterday summoned Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun over N17 billion some government agencies failed to contribute into the Nigerian Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF).

Also invited are the ministers of Budget and National Planning, Udoma Udo Udoma and Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige. They are to appear before the panel today to give reasons for poor remittances into the fund.

The panel, which is investigating non-remittances into NSITF, chaired by Deputy Minority Leader, Chukwu Onyema, equally summoned the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), Ahmed Idris.

The committee said available records indicated that hundreds of governments agencies were supposed to make contributions into the fund in the past several years.

However, members of the panel said it appeared most of the agencies “deliberately failed to do so in apparent disregard to the laws of the land.”

Onyema, said government agencies owed up to N17 billion, while the Nigeria Police, which is yet to join the scheme, owe N16.2 billion.

Earlier while declaring the hearing open, Speaker Yakubu Dogara, expressed dismay at the way government agencies disregard laws of the land in payment of taxes and contributions into insurance fund.

The Managing Director of NSITF, Adebayo Somefun, told the panel that most state governments were yet to join the scheme.
