my movie is not porn - Nollywood producer (+provocative pics)

You must have heard about 'Room 027', the new movie by Collins Onwochei where there are a lot of steamy scenes including full nudity.Some have dubbed it soft porn but Collins say it is anything but that. This is his statement from press release
"Room 027 has made a lot of headlines, especially on the social network. I say this with all sense of responsibility. I think Nigerians are hypocrites. They are the same people that will say you can tell the end of a movie just by seeing the beginning. Same people that watch all episodes of Spartacus in the comfort of their living room and nobody gives a hoot about it. I did not shoot or act in a soft porn movie. Room 027 is nothing close to a soft porn movie. I have no interest in nudity. I just did my job as an actor. Nigerians have not seen the movie, they don't know whether the girl was naked or if anyone was naked and they are making a whole lot of noise about it"

Outrage as Jonathan's govt bans film narrated by Wole Soyinka

From what we gather, the award-winning filmmaker, Ishaya Bako’s new film, ‘Fuelling Poverty’ has been banned in Nigeria by the Federal Government. The reasons is still unclear, but the content of the movie must be largely responsible.

Fuelling Poverty is a documentary on the fuel subsidy in Nigeria, and it tries to expose the scams of the political class. It is narrated by Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka. On reaching the filmmaker over the phone during the week, Mr. Bako, who is not new to controversy, said he has been summoned by the State Security Service to answer some questions.

Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board, NFVCB, wrote a letter to the filmmaker, Ishaya Bako, saying the contents of the documentary “are highly provocative and likely to incite or encourage public disorder and undermine national security.” The Board warned Mr. Bako to abide by the order as he would now be treated as though he were a threat to national security.

Was Mercy Aigbe truly disgraced by hubby?

For days now, several online blogs have been agog with the allegation that Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe was disgraced out of an event by her hubby, Lanre Gentry for allegedly disappearing from an event venue on Sunday.

Comedian Sheddi Baba runs mad

We got this from Hazeez Balogun's Blog. My concern about the comedian who is a very good friend of mine started when I saw his Facebook profile which read that he was dead. It was written in second person, so I took it very seriously. I know that as a comedian, he may be trying to play a very expensive joke. But I still thought death was too much to joke about. I decided to call his phone which he did not pick. I left him a message asking why his fb page said he was dead. I was expecting a funny reply like, "Got you"!!! or something like that. But the response I got got me more worried. He sent to me, "Hazeez M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ Brother! They can only kill d flesh but not d spirit." I did not even know how to respond to that. I have been trying to reach him since then but he wont respond.
Just today, his brother left this message
"I will like to use dis opportunity to humbly beg and plead to everyone to please ignore all messages pasted by Sheddi Baba. Am the younger brother to Sheddi Baba..I can't really xpose what his going tru right now, but pls put him in prayers and God will bless u..i have read all the message he posted so i have to collect his password and delete all. Thanks and God bless u as u keep praying.!!!"
Now that is scary. I will try and get to his house to know whats going on. meanwhile do pray for him

Fran and Tunde Kuboye’s son, Baba T, launches musical career

Coming from a background steeped in music, it didn’t come as any surprise that Babatunmida Kuboye, the middle child of renowned jazz duo, Tunde and Fran Kuboye (Fran died in 1997), has decided to launch a professional music career. Though Baba, as he prefers to be called by fans and friends, has always been on the periphery of the music industry by virtue of his regular sessions at his parents’ popular Jazz 38 Club with The Extended Family Band, even releasing an album to lukewarm reception years back; the gangling and gregarious London based RF Engineer is now musically and mentally enamoured to give established Nigerian music stars a run for their talent and artistry.

He is coming to the scene with a banging new single titled, Baba De Baba, accompanied with a multi-million naira video shot on location in Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. Despite the fact that he only has one single at the moment, Baba is upbeat about his chances of scaling through whatever challenges that he may encounter on his path as a professional musician. He expects people to have same amount of fun he had when he first listened to his latest single and says that his guiding principle is to have fun in whatever he ventures into.

“I have been exposed to some of the good and bad sides of the industry by virtue of my background. I have also had some experience whilst doing my own music. Whilst nothing can ever fully prepare one for the wonderful world of the music industry, I like to think I have a good support system and experience to deal with what comes my way.” Speaking further, he says, “My guiding principle in doing music is that it should always be fun! I had fun making the track. From the composition to the recording in the UK to the video shoot out in Florida, I think that comes across in the song itself. My hope is that people will have the same amount of fun I had whilst they watch and listen to it.”

Next Movie star GM resigns

Just few months after he was employed to take over the running of Sola Fajobi created Next Movie Star(NMS), actor, Sam Uche Anyamele has quit the company as the General Manager. He did not give a concrete reason for leaving but there are talks that there had been some altercations between him and the owner of the reality show franchise. 

The actor, who was meant to take over the preparation and organization of the 2013 edition of the Next Movie Star realty show, has since moved on with his acting career and looking forward to a more rewarding career. We hear that he was asked to produce a plan for this year’s NMS but since her was given the position, he was yet to create any solid plan for the popular show.

Friends of Sam explained that he resigned to focus more on his acting career. This reason did not hold much water, since he was aware of his acting career before accepting the job in the first place.  The management of the Next Movie Star we hear are shopping for a replacement for the actor as Sola Fajobi is said to have busied himself with creation of more soap operas in recent time.
