Tuface Idibia has rallied other artistes to battle radio stations and programme presenters on Nigerian airwaves. This is in retaliation to the decision of BON and IBAN to boycott music from COSON's stable, in protest against the latter's hard fight to get the broadcasters to pay artistes' music rights.

As a result of the ban, many radio stations in Nigeria now rely on foreign songs and those of artistes that are not part of the Tony Okoroji-led COSON. Tuface and his team, Azeezat and Banky W, have decided to fight back and threatened that they will not perform at BON/IBAN's shows, including the pending Rhythm Unplugged by the Silverbird Group. In a tweet a few hours ago, Tuface accused those who are behind the ban as greedy, wicked and corrupt. He tweeted: see after cut

RE: Before It Is Too Late

I wish to formally acknowledge your letter dated December 2, 2013 and other previous correspondence similar to it.

You will recall that all the letters were brought to me by hand. Although both of us discussed some of the issues in those letters, I had not, before now, seen the need for any formal reply since, to me, they contained advice from a former President to a serving President. Obviously, you felt differently because in your last letter, you complained about my not acknowledging or replying your previous letters. Continue..

Sequel to "Ladies Men" the story twists as the ladies goes in search of other lovers apart from their boyfriends because they are in desperate need of someone who will give them peace and show them love and attention. The bigger question is "how sure are they that all men are not the same?"

Contrary to reports that hit the net days back, a source has informed me that Nollywood veteran actor turned movie director — Desmond Elliot has not joined the Labour Party to contest in the 2015 general elections.
Fellow industry veteran and friend, Uche Jombo says Desmond has not yet decided under which party to achieve his political ambition in 2015.
Other sources confirmed that Desmond Elliot is eyeing politics and is doing everything possible to become an Honorable come 2015.
“Desmond has not joined the Labour Party, forget about the news reports flying around on the internet. He’s yet to declare which party to make his dream come true in 2015,” the source said.

I feel ashamed to even say that I never knew the Ghollywood actress and model had a child; and has done so for 3 whole years.
Anyways, Julie Ibrahim shared cute photos of her son as he celebrated his 3rd birthday.

Cute son too!!

Read Charles Okafor’s statement below:
“I’ve been lying low for a while because I diverted into Advocacy and human-angle films as a consequence of my new found faith.  I’m still a career actor and a film maker but I am mindful of the scripts I do.
A time come in the life of any professional when he seats back and takes stock of his professional issues and the legacy he wants to leave behind from the spiritual standpoint of view.
You cannot just do any kind of film anymore if you’re going to be the light to the nations of the world. We must be seen in the context of the things that glorify God in totality.
I’m driven to do advocacy films because they address social issues, human angle and spiritual issues that borders on the kingdom. That explains why I might not be as visible as I was some years back.
You see, you cannot eat your cake and still have it. You cannot serve God and serve Marmon. You must clearly define where you stand. I have put my hands to the plow so I shouldn’t look back but that does not remove the fact that I’m still a career actor and film maker.”

“We don’t celebrate Christmas. It actually came from idolatrous background. That is why you don’t hear us sing what they call Christmas carol, Never! We always say it is the December retreat. We are only gathering together because it is the holiday period and love the lord more, and rededicate ourselves more.
