Veteran actress, Franca Brown, is one of the pioneers of the Nigerian movie industry called Nollywood. The actress who is a contemporary of the likes of Liz Benson, despite her beauty and age, is still single and this, she attributes to the fact that she has not met the right man. In an interview recently, Franca said that though shebelieves in marriage, she has not been fortunate to get the kind of man she would really love to settle down with. The ageless actress who was popular with one of Nigeria’s best soap operas, Behind The Cloud in the 80s, believes that as long as there is life, there is hope and that when the right time comes for her to marry, she will definitely become a married woman. This is what she said when asked whether she believes in marriage:I believe in marriage. I was born into a home, I have a father and a mother. But marriage has not come my way, and I don’t think it’s yet a challenge to me. When it comes my way, it comes. We pray you get the right man soon

K-Solo and Timaya were once like Donjazzy and Dbanj,K-solo produced his first hit album.After that, they fell out. In a new interview with Punch,K-solo said"Whatever you are doing and you feel it is gone; it will be waiting for you. No sinner will go unpunished. When I was his producer, I produced his first three successful albums that made him what he is today. He never came back to show gratitude; instead he is always fighting me. If I talked to him to tell him the right thing to do, he felt I had no right to tell him such because he felt he is a star. When I wanted to get married, he was among the people who mocked me. Now, he has a ‘baby mama.’ In life, when we don’t know the kind of death we would have, we shouldn’t laugh at people because we don’t know how our case would be. It isnot as if I want to bring him down but I want you to know that nothing lasts forever. It is what you do in life that keeps you going eventually. I was on top of my game before I had the crisis.

Determined to shore up support for the global#BringBackOurGirls (BBOG) campaign, Nigeria's top artiste, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2face, has released a music video “Break the Silence”. The single, which is primarily a call for peace and unity, is timely especially after the abduction of the over 200 girls from Government Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State, by the Boko Haram sect over 50 days ago. There has been global outrage against the abduction just as many countries have joined Nigeria both in the rescue operation to free the abducted girls and also tackle terrorism in the sub-region. According to Idibia, the song is a call for the safe return of the Chibok girls and work towards peace building which must be sustained. He said: “This is just another step in the journey towards the promotion of peace and unity in our nation and the world. It is a timely response to the global call for the release of the abducted Chibok girls and the restoration of peace in Nig

Nollywood actress Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha yesterday tweeted that she was harassed by some policemen in Enugu where she’s currently on a set. She said she had the video and now she released it. Watch…

Many big actresses who have made it already are claiming that there are no cases of séxual harassment in movie industry, at least to cover themselves so people wont say they also did it, but some young ones who are not so desperate are trying to expose the messand probably stop it. One of such actress is Banke Adewunmi. She said séxual harassment is very real in Nollywood:

Tiwa has been getting a lot of flak from fans since the racy video for her song Wanted was released. Some felt it was a bit too much, especially for a married woman.

He shared this pic of Beyonce above right and wrote what you see above.

Abeg@officialtiwasavage keep tasting and chopping ur money.”

Ngozi Okonjo IwealaChineme Okafor  The Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Ministerof Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has disclosed that the current cycle of economic pain and deprivation being experienced in the country are caused by the reckless economic mistakes that were made by the ruling class in the 1980s and 1990s. Okonjo-Iweala stated that the federal government’s economic decisions within the periods ensured that both decades were wasted without any form of progress in the economy. The minister said this on Sunday in Ilishan, Ogun State, when she delivered a speech at the 12th convocation ceremony of Babcock University. While describing 1999 when Nigeria returned to democratic rule as the turning point for the country, withthe government’s initiation of various macroeconomic and structural reforms to manage the economy, she however noted that the current government of President Goodluck Jonathan has thus continued from where former President Olusegun Obasanjo left
