Movie Producers Seek N5 Billion To Repackage Industry As Nollywood Celebrates 20 Years

AS the Nigeria home video industry otherwise known as Nollywood hits 20 years, movie producers in the country are seeking a five billion Naira financial war chest to reposition the industry.

If repackaged, Nollywood, the third biggest movie industry in the world after Hollywood (USA) and Bollywood (India), could be a big revenue earner for the government, practitioners and other stakeholders, said Mr Zik Zulu Okafor, president, Association of Movie Producers , Nigeria (AMP).

Interesting repackaging....will that in anyway repackage the kind of script we see?

17-Year-Old Boy Sells Kidney To Buy Apple iPhone And iPad

Could this be Desperation or Stupidity?
Five people have been charged with intentional injury to a Chinese teenager who was so desperate to buy an iPad and iPhone that he sold his kidney for just over £2,000.

The accused, from southern China, include a surgeon who removed a kidney from a 17-year-old boy in return for around 220,000 yuan - just over £20,000.

Prosecutors in Chenzhou city, Hunan province, said one of the defendants received the money to arrange the transplant. He paid the teenager, identified only as Wang, 22,000 yuan - just over £2,000 - and split the rest with the surgeon, the three other defendants and other medical staff.
A Chinese boy from southern China sold his kidney to buy a coveted iPad

The teenager, identified only by his surname Wang, comes from Anhui, one of China's poorest provinces, where inhabitants frequently leave to find work and a better life elsewhere.

He now suffers from renal deficiency, according to the government-run Xinhua News Agency.

Following the surgery in April last year, Wang bought an iPhone and iPad.

When his mother quizzed him on how he funded the sought-after goods, he admitted selling a kidney.        

It is not known who received and paid for the kidney.  

The organ industry in China is booming and trading organs is a widespread online practice in the country.

Is this kid Desperate or Stupid?

24-Year-Old Man Machetes 7 Family Members, Killing 4 Of Them And Injuring 3

A 24-year-old man suspected of killing four members of his family and wounding three in a machete attack,has been arrested in Hungary.

"There were no hostages taken, the attacker brutally killed his relatives with a sharp and pointed tool, most likely as a result of a family dispute", police spokemsan Laszlo Garamvolgyi said.

Jutast Csanad Horvath was caught hiding in a bush holding the weapon, the head of the TEK counter-terrorism unit, Janos Hajdu, told journalists at the scene.

He had been hospitalised with serious injuries, Hajdu said.

The attack took place around 8:00 am (0600 GMT) in Kulcs, a village of 2,500 inhabitants on the Danube in central Hungary about 60 kilometres (35 miles) from the capital Budapest.

Horvath is suspected of murdering his father, his grandparents and his older brother in a family dispute. His mother, sister and another close relative were badly wounded and hospitalised.

Rest In Peace: Malawi President Dies After Heart Attack

Malawi President Bingu wa Mutharika has died after a heart attack, doctors who treated him said, as the troubled and impoverished southern African nation awaited official word of his death and who would succeed him.

The doctors, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to reporters, said the 78-year-old died Thursday, and his body was then flown to South Africa, apparently to buy time for politicians who may be squabbling over the succession.

Malawi's government has so far issued only a brief statement on state radio and television, saying Mutharika was taken ill and was flown to South Africa for further treatment.

A Cabinet minister, speaking on condition of anonymity because the matter is sensitive, said announcing the death required taking political steps. He did not elaborate, but questions over succession are likely complicating matters.

Fake Police Inspector Caught With 30 Bags Of Indian Hemp

A man parading himself as a Police inspector was recently nabbed in Lagos with 30 bags of Indian hemp in his truck.

The suspect identified as Chukwuemeka Ezeabu was arrested with fake identity cards as an inspector in the Nigeria Police Force, and a clerical officer in the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Abuja.
Ezeabu was said to have ferried bags of Indian hemp from places like Sango-Ota, Ogun State, Ibadan and other areas to big dealers in Lagos for about a year before he was arrested. His fake ID cards enabled him pass through many security checkpoints without hitches during such journeys.

Lagos State Police Commissioner, Mr. Umaru Manko who confirmed the arrest said, "Ezeabu got into trouble at Meiran along the Abeokuta road when he stopped to eat at a roadside canteen that Saturday morning.

"Just as he got out of his truck, a policeman on a motorcycle, who perhaps had perceived the contents of the truck, parked his bike right in front of the truck in an attempt to stop him from driving off.

"Ezeabu immediately sensed that the policeman wanted to interrogate him and tried to run. He was caught, arrested and brought to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ikeja."
However, Ezeabu in his own reaction refuted carrying any Police ID: "I was a commercial bus driver within the Lagos metropolis for a few years before a friend of mine, Steve Soje, asked me to work for him. He owned trucks that were used to transport Indian hemp for dealers in Lagos.

52-Year-Old Nigerian Woman Sets US Record When She Excreted 180 Pellets Of Heroin Worth $150, 000

Bola Adebisi, 52, set a record at the Dulles International Airport, USA, when she excreted 180 thumb-sized pellets of heroin worth $150, 000.

She has been charged with drug smuggling in a federal court.

Customs officers became suspicious on Saturday when Adebisi said she was coming to the U.S. to visit her brother, but couldn't describe him. A routine pat-down found her stomach to be abnormally rigid. An X-ray revealed the pellets and she was taken to the hospital.

Weighing over five pounds, the heroine found on Adebisi is the highest ever ingested by a suspect caught at the airport.

The previous record for an ingested drug seizure at Dulles occurred last year, when another Nigerian was discovered with more than four pounds of pellets.

Nigeria Ranks 112th On Global ICT Chart

AS the world continues to witness development in Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Sub-Saharan Africa is still lagging behind due to poor quality of services, a report by the World Economic Forum has stated.

The report also ranked Nigeria 112th in the world on ICT use.

While Mauritius occupies the 53rd position in the world, South Africa is in the 71st. Other African countries ranked thus: Rwanda, 82nd; Botswana, 89th; Kenya, 93th; and Senegal, 100th.

The report stated: "ICT readiness in sub-Saharan Africa is still very low, with most countries evidencing strong lags in connectivity because of the insufficient development of ICT infrastructure, which remains too costly.

11-Year Old Boy Arrested For Armed Robbery

An 11- year old boy (name withheld) was arrested yesterday for armed robbery.

The boy, with a gang of at least 20 robbers, raided several streets in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, southsouth Nigeria, dispossessing people, especially ladies, of their handsets, necklaces and handbags.

"They started robbing people from Atamunu Street to Mayne Avenue, Okpo Ene Atu and escaped through Target Street to Bogobiri, where I suspect they went to sell their stolen items," Glory Eyo, a civil servant, whose handset was snatched by the gang told our correspondent.

P.M.NEWS gathered that the robbers were armed with guns and machetes and started the operation at about 3 p.m. They went from one street to another unchallenged and snatched about 40 handsets.

Eyewitnesses said those who attempted to stop them were attacked.

"When my sister told me her phone had been snatched by a gang of young robbers, I went outside and I saw them moving towards Mayne Avenue from Okpo Ene. I ran after them and when I got close and shouted at them to stop, one of them pointed gun at me and said, 'I will shoot you if you come closer'. So I had to retreat," John Ekong told our correspondent.

The gang ended their operation at Atu by Goldie, where they picked second hand bags being sold by a lady, Fostina Thompson. By that time people had mobilised and given them a hot chase. While others escaped, the youngster was caught by the mob.

"When we went after them, they fled for safety at Target Street. While some escaped through the back streets, I caught the boy when he wanted to enter Mary Magdaline Street. I put a stud on him and he stumbled and the knife fell from his hand," Ebayi Oden, who caught the suspected kid robber said.

The robber had a deep machete cut at the back of his head and was bleeding profusely.

He was about to be set ablaze by the mob when police from the Atakpa Police Station arrived and took him away.

Kabiru Sokoto’s Wife Delivers Baby Boy Inside Police Cell

Wife of the fugitive alleged mastermind of the Christmas Day bombing of St. Theresa's Catholic Church, Madalla, Niger state, Kabiru Abubakar Dikko, alias Kabiru Sokoto, has delivered a baby boy in a police cell where she is being detained.

The wife of the Boko Haram henchman was arrested by the police after her husband escaped from police custody while he was being taken to his home for a search.

Sources told P.M.NEWS Friday that she gave birth to a baby boy on Wednesday inside a cell at the Special Anti-Robbery Squad in Garki, Abuja, Nigeria's capital.

Even after her husband was re-arrested at Mutum in Gassol Local Government Area of Taraba, the pregnant woman was still kept in police custody until she put to bed on Wednesday.

World's Youngest Mom: 10-Year-Old Colombian Girl Gives Birth To A Healthy Baby Girl

Where I come from kids of her age are still busy playing with dolls and not humans.
A 10-year-old Colombian girl has sparked outrage after becoming one of the world's youngest ever mothers by giving birth to a healthy daughter.

The girl, a member of an indigenous tribe called the Wayuu who are based in the La Guajira Peninsula in the north of the country, was 39 weeks pregnant when she underwent a Caesarean section. Most pregnancies are 38 weeks.

It was the first time the pre-teen, from the town of Manaure, had visited a doctor in connection with her pregnancy.

She reportedly arrived at the hospital bleeding, in floods of tears and 'enormous' pain from the contractions.

Doctors decided to carry out the risky operation because of her age - and both mother and daughter, who weighed just 5lbs, are said to be 'doing well'.

This is despite the mother refusing to breastfeed her newborn and the pair being confined to the neo-natal unit of the hospital, which has not been disclosed.

Although Colombian police could prosecute the father for underage sex, the country's constitution guarantees the Wayuu a certain amount of autonomy.

It allows the tribe to maintain its own sovereignty and certain cultural heritages, of which one is said to be the giving birth of children at an extremely young age.

In any case the community has remained tight-lipped as to the identity of the father, with some Colombian newspaper speculating it is a 15-year-old boy. Others believe it is a 30-year-old man.

Nigerian Movie Marketers To Stop Africa Magic From Showing Nigerian Movies

Nigerian movie marketers are making plans to stop DSTV Channel, African Magic from showing Nigerian movies.

The movie marketers made this known at a press confrence on Wednesday, at O'jez bar and resturant at the National Statdium in Surulere.

The Nollywood movie merchants said that they will write to DSTV about their decision, because African Magic has reduced the purchase of Nollywood movies.

Some of us think they should be grateful to DSTV for helping them promote some fairly good movies, thus making some persons to still have confidence in Nollywood.

Instead of them to write those annoying movie directors and insensitive script writers of theirs they are busy thinking of writing DSTV.#MyHumbleOpinion

A Tragic End: Whitney Houston's Final Autopsy Report Released

Whitney Houston's final autopsy report has revealed that the singer died facedown in blazing hot hotel bathtub just a feet from a spoon containing white crystals and white powder caked on a mirror.

The report released on Wednesday said the suite where the singer breathed her last was littered with prescription drugs and open alcohol containers and sopping wet from bathtub flooding when investigators arrived February 11.

'I collected... a spoon with a white crystal-like substance in it, a rolled up piece of white paper from off the top of a counter along the east wall in the bathroom,' the New York Daily News quoted coroner's supervisor Kristy McCracken writing in the report.

'I also collected remnants of a white powdery substance from out of a drawer and from the bottom of a mirror in the same drawer in the bathroom counter,' the investigator said.

An open champagne bottle, multiple packages of prescription medication, plates of food and an open beer can lay in disarray around the room.

A loose tablet was recovered from one table, a single capsule from another. An empty blister pack for an unidentified medication was on the floor.

Early in the afternoon that turned out to be her last, Houston complained of a sore throat, the report said.

Her assistant said she should take a bath and then left her alone around 2:45 pm to run an errand at Neiman Marcus.

When the assistant returned less than an hour later at 3:36 p.m., she found Houston 'lying face down in the bathtub, unresponsive,' the report said.

'The bathtub was filled with water, and there was water on the bathroom floor, however, the water was not running,' the report said.

The assistant called out to a bodyguard, and the two removed Houston from the tub before calling downstairs and telling hotel staff to call 911.

The bathtub contained 'extremely hot water,' the report said -- 93.5 degrees at 9:35 pm, more than five hours after Houston died.

An investigator noted that Houston had a 'bloody purge coming from her nose' after she was pulled out of the water.

A 'perforation' of her 'posterior nasal septum' was evidence of prolonged substance abuse, the report said.

The report did not confirm any testing done on the white powdery substance recovered from Houston's room, but coroner officials earlier confirmed the presence of cocaine in her system.

The official cause of death was accidental drowning 'due to effects' of heart disease and cocaine use, the report said, confirming coroner statements from two weeks ago.

The six-time Grammy winner also had marijuana, the anti-anxiety drug Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril and the over-the-counter antihistamine Benadryl in her bloodstream, officials said.

Houston's body showed no signs of an aneurysm or foul play but a history of cosmetic procedures including breast implants.

She died wearing a brown wig 'tightly attached to the hair,' the report added.

Prophet Caught Sleeping With 5-Months Pregnant Married Woman In A Parked Car

A man got the shock of his life when he caught his PREGNANT wife being intimate with a self-styled prophet in a parked car.

Patrick  (31) could not believe his eyes after his wife Lydia Makoni's illicit sexual exploits with  Njari (40) came to light barely a week after they had consulted him for his services.

Lydia is said to have lied to Patrick that she intended to visit her mother who resides in the same neighborhood, only to discover that she had gone to the prophet [ Njari's] house for her sex-sermons.

Patrick told us our report that he was really shocked after catching his pregnant wife having quality time in the parked car at House No. 12 Nzere Street where the prophet resides.

"I suspect that this illicit affair might have started on the first day we consulted him as he asked my wife to visit him alone the following day for more prayers. My wife is five months pregnant now and I wonder why she was cheating on me to that extend."

"As we speak she is at her mother's house after that incident and I can swear that Njari will never conduct his prayers again at his shrine," fumed Patrick.

In another interview, Lydia also CONFIRMED that she was caught red-handed being swayed by Njari's prophecies.

"It is true that this prophet asked me to come for prayers alone after we visited him along with my husband. He told me that I had no bright future with my husband saying he was planning to marry another girl.

"On the second visit,  Njari gave me US$5 that I used to buy bread and he then seduced me and we ended up having s*x in the parked car," she said. She said she had lied to her husband that she had gone to her mother's place while in actual fact she was seeing the prophet.

"I was convinced by this prophet and I believed him as we were having problems at home with my husband that led us to consult him. He told me that he had fallen for me and that he would look for alternative accommodation in High-field for me although he knew that I was pregnant."

"On the day in question, he gave me a laptop which he said was a token of love and showed me a book which he said was a proof that the car was his and I agreed to his demands before we were caught by Patrick. At home, I had given instructions for Patrick to be told that I was to come back soon," said Lydia.

When we visited  Njari at his shrine, he was not around as he is now playing cat and mouse with Patrick, who allegedly threatened him with death. Neighbors said  Njari had sought refuge at his neighbors place where we finally hooked up with him and he confirmed the story.

He, however, blamed it on Lydia for visiting him at his house before begging us not to publish the story.  After all she is the one who came to my house," he said .

"I am here because Patrick has threatened to kill me and I know he is violent as people around this neighborhood call him Masendeke. I could have died and I was not familiar with him because he is extremely dangerous.

"I know that you reporters would take it wrongly and denounce prophets but to be honest I was not putting on my garments and this was a sin of the flesh.  There was nothing I could do to resist that and I am prepared to marry her if Patrick is no longer interested in her."

"I am a divorcee with four children the first one is 22 years old in the village in Dande under chief Matsiwo. Please do not publish this story. I am prepared to give you a heifer plus US$200 for your lunch and the driver who is with you.

"I am a dealer who buys gold and I have many beasts at my village so do not publish this story, I beg you," said Njari as he pleaded with H-Metro to kill the story.

Njari was also attending to a lady identified as Priscilla in the presence of her friends. She told H-Metro she had been advised to leave her mobile phone after failing to give him US$30 that he charged for the services.

"I thank my God because this man wanted my cellphone after I failed to raise US$30 for the services he offered me. He asked me to remove my blouse before he took long to attend to me to cure my stomach pains. He is a false prophet. I could have lost my Samsung mobile phone," said Priscilla.

How Aso Ebi Kidnappers Deceived A Foreign Investor To Come To Nigeria And Then Kidnapped Him

This is extremely bad for the image of Nigeria....is this the new face of crime now?
A strange twist was infused into the current rage of kidnap crimes sweeping the country when on Friday, March 30th the Deputy Director, Public Relations of our hard-working State Security Services (SSS), Mrs Marilyn Ogar, in Abuja paraded seven young men dressed in a colourful Ankara prints uniforms popularly known as aso ebi. It is worn by people going out for parties or celebration.

Just looking at them, one is forced to wonder whether these suspected felons were apprehended on their way to a social party, or maybe they just decided to put on a show in defiance?

Those paraded included Ojo Ibrahim Ajibade, Lamidi Akinkunmi, Olasunkanmi Temitope, Nureni Lamidi, Siyanbade Olalekan, Jelili Adeleke and Saka Kassim. They were alleged to be part of a syndicate that lured one Mohammed Khamis, a United Arab Emirate (UAE) businessman with a fake business name, Finuche Investments, into Nigeria whereupon he was abducted and kept in captivity for 60 days at Aborigun in Ikoyi, a town in Osun State.

Even though they (mercifully) allowed Mr Khamis to go unharmed on March 19th 2012, the long arm of the law personified by the SSS caught up with the seven youth with the rest, the alleged masterminds, still at large.
The aso ebi kidnappers invented a new angle of luring foreigners to the country and keeping them hostage, obviously for ransom.

This crime of seizing foreigners forms part of a worrying departure from our cherished culture of deep respect and protection of visitors and foreigners in our midst.
The main danger in the fate that Mr Khamis suffered in the hands of the aso ebi kidnappers is that more and more foreigners are going to be less enthusiastic about exploiting business opportunities in Nigeria for fear of being similarly victimised.

What kind of image are these people painting for Nigeria's prospective foreign investors?

Khloe Kardashian Ready To Give Up 'Khloe & Lamar' TV Series To Save Her Marriage?

If this is true, then Khloe might just be the only member of the Kardashian clan with a clear head.
The latest report comes as there has been speculation that Kardashian and Odom were considering divorce .

A report arrived from Hollywood Life recently and has an insider source who said:

"Khloe is fighting to save her marriage. She realizes the toll reality TV and being in the public eye has taken on her relationship with Lamar."

There was talk of a possible second season of the weekly reality series, a spin-off of the popular "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."  However, the source added:

"Khloe wants to make Lamar and starting a family her number one priority right now!"

Voters on the Hollywood Life article have voted overwhelmingly in favor of Khloe Kardashian giving up the reality TV show if it means saving her marriage. Husband Lamar Odom was traded for this NBA season to the Dallas Mavericks, requiring he and Khloe move from Los Angeles.  

The added stress of the new NBA team situation may have increased tension in the marriage between Khloe and Lamar.  Luckily, it seems the youngest of the Kardashian's has her priorities straight, and would prefer her marriage over fame.

Wise girl!

Rapper, MI Denies Engagement And Marriage Rumour

City People magazine had earlier this week reported that, Nigerian's sizzling hot rapper, MI is engaged to Edo state born, top model and beauty queen, Erica Okundaye, first runner up Miss Nigeria 2010. According to the soft-sell magazine, the two have been dating for four years, and they practically live together. They went further by saying that MI has met with her parents in Benin to get their consent to marry their daughter.

But MI seem to be refuting that claim going by his tweets. I think the tweets has given us the clarification we need.

If I keep waiting for an Igbo man I will just end up eternally single. 

Herbalist Caught With Human Skulls Intended For Money Rituals

A herbalist identified as Ogun Aberuagba, 50, was early Monday morning caught with two human skulls in a small community called Irawo in Ijebu Ode Local Government area of Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria.

Our correspondent gathered that the local vigilance group in Ijebu Ode, Obanta Safe and Secure Vigilance Group arrested the man after a tip off by the residents who have been suspecting the man for some weeks.

Narrating the incident to our correspondent in their office in Itoro, the Secretary of the group, Comrade Yemi Odukoya disclosed that they had laid ambush for the man for almost two weeks after some residents of the community complained about him.

According to the vigilance scribe, "the vigilance group from the town came to complain to us about the man. They accused him of dealing in human skulls as he is a herbalist.We told them to continue monitoring him as we also sent our surveillance team to work with them over there. Luck ran out on him around 12.30 a.m. when we swooped on him at his house and found two skulls, one male and the other female.We have handed him over to the police to continue the investigation."

The man while speaking with our correspondent confirmed that he has been procuring human skulls for some years now, claiming that it was being used for money rituals."

I am a farmer and a herbalist too. I belong to Jawesola Traditional Group and I have been fully involved about seven years ago since the death of my father. We normally get the heads from the burial ground and I operated alone. I don't have any accomplices.The skulls are used along with some herbs to make money rituals for our customers.
These two heads were cut off during the weekend."
