“My teachers knelt me down and told me I’d never become anything in life” – Ayra Starr reminisces (Video)

Joke Silva underlined the value of Nollywood having studios and sound stages that would give appropriate settings for filmmaking.

In her words;

“We shoot in apartments these days. But, I won’t allow movies to be shot in my home; it won’t happen.

I know the number of people that are brought into a shoot. There may be two people in a scene, but to shoot it, there will probably be about 20 people there. That means 20 people will put their hands on my wall, block the loo, and do other things.

We need to build our studios and sound stages, just like American filmmaker, Tyler Perry, has done. He built one of the biggest sound stages in the world.

The thing with sound stages is that there are usually facades. I once shot a movie in France, but all the interior shots were taken in London, United Kingdom.

All we did in France were the exteriors shots to give the ambience of that country. Sound stages give one control. It allows one to make movies at one’s desired pace.” She said.

A Nigerian lady, Praise Oghre, has recounted how she abruptly ended an all-expenses-paid trip in Maldives and returned to Nigeria after the man she traveled with made an obscene request.

Woman sues her father for attempted forced marriage in Kaduna

A 20-year-old woman, Fatima has taken her father before a Kaduna Shari’a Court for allegedly pressuring her to wed a stranger.

Fatima testified in court that she is in love with someone, and according to reports, her father, Aliyu Muhammad, has threatened to take her to the village and force her into wedlock.

The court was also informed by her attorney, Malam Y.A. Bulama, that his client did not initiate a lawsuit against her father out of disdain for him. Bulama said;

“The father wants my client to marry a man in their village in Niger state. Right now she’s living in her aunty’s house because he threatened to take her to the village and marry her off.”

Fatima’s father, however, argued before the court that he had to honor his late parents’ decision to choose a groom for his daughter when they were still alive. He said;

“I married my six daughters off in the village and they are doing well. Fatima’s mother is the brains behind her stubbornness. I need permission to consult with my people over this matter.”

According to Shari’a law, a parent has the right to select a partner for his daughter, however the judge Malam Isiyaku Abdulrahman said that forced marriage is not encouraged. He also advised the father of the daughter to have patience with her.

In his words;

“You are her father, therefore you should pray for the best for her because if you are angry with her she won’t see good things.

“Allow her to present the person she wants to marry and if you are pleased with his religion and character, you allow her to get married”

“Claiming God loves you after stealing someone’s husband” – BBNaija star, Nina, Nkechi Blessing, Uche Elendu, others blasts Judy Austin

Several Nigerian celebrities have taken to social media to slam actor Yul Edochie’s second wife, Judy Austin, over her video bragging about God’s love.

The controversial actress had posted a video on Facebook where she declared that she’s loved by God, and it might sound strange to a lot of people.

In the video, she noted that God has continually fought her battles and shared the testimony of her childbirth, stating that she gave birth when it seemed like it would not happen.

However, the timing of the video did not sit well with a lot of Nigerians, who believed that it was insensitive, especially since Yul’s first wife just lost a child.

Celebrities such as Nina Ivy, Nkechi Blessing, Uche Elendu, Uche Maduagwu, and others did not mince words and gave Judy a piece of their minds.

Nina noted that it was audacious of Judy to claim that God loves her when she had stolen “somebody’s husband” and the couple had just lost a son.

“What is wrong with this human? Bitch, you stole somebody’s husband, and they literally just lost a child, and you’re here saying God loves you. The audacity for me,” Nina wrote.

Uche Elendu also weighed in, saying, “I blame the money Facebook is paying for sha… odiegwu.”

Nkechi Blessing wrote, <em>”I don’t want to say what’s on my mind… Women? What did your fellow woman do to you? It’s well.”

Sandra Iheuwa added, “You claim God loves you, but you can’t love your fellow woman not to cause her pain..God is indeed merciful ehn cause this is absolute madness.”

The other person said I always force my beliefs and opinions on others Amongst other criticisms. Firstly I have not come on this space any day to declare my status, even if I should do ,my only aim is to promote sexual purity and Godly relationships.

Secondly, of course I don’t force my beliefs on anyone. Except I have pointed a gun at you before to choose sexual purity. I only advise. Advice is meant to be taken or not. The choice is yours.

I don’t really know why most persons feel attacked at the mention of sexual purity. If some persons can promote immoralities proudly. With a sense of purpose and pride I will keep promoting sexual purity, that’s my goal.

I can’t quit. Yeah it’s a purpose I have been given to fulfill. God strengthen me the more, increase my and passion.”

“Why movies can never be shot in my house” – Joke Silva reveals

Veteran Nollywood actress, Joke Silva has stated the reason why she would never allow a movie to be filmed in her home.

She revealed this during “The Roundtable Lekki,” a conference for youth development. The actress claims that making movies involves a lot of people, many of whom she wouldn’t want in her personal space.

Joke Silva underlined the value of Nollywood having studios and sound stages that would give appropriate settings for filmmaking.

In her words;

“We shoot in apartments these days. But, I won’t allow movies to be shot in my home; it won’t happen.

I know the number of people that are brought into a shoot. There may be two people in a scene, but to shoot it, there will probably be about 20 people there. That means 20 people will put their hands on my wall, block the loo, and do other things.

We need to build our studios and sound stages, just like American filmmaker, Tyler Perry, has done. He built one of the biggest sound stages in the world.

The thing with sound stages is that there are usually facades. I once shot a movie in France, but all the interior shots were taken in London, United Kingdom.

All we did in France were the exteriors shots to give the ambience of that country. Sound stages give one control. It allows one to make movies at one’s desired pace.”

Speaking on the effects of streaming platforms in Nollywood, she said;

“Streaming platforms have made it easier for producers to be able to exhibit their works. Technology has done that for us. There is a wide range of opportunities right now when it comes to movie distributions. Streaming platforms help us connect to a global audience.”
