The 12th edition of the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) has been scheduled to hold from November 5th to 11th.

“We are also going to be doubling the State Government’s support for the training of young industry players. We will also double the grants being given to creative young talents for the production of short stories. We have supported over 5,000 people in creative sector with different kinds of capacity building opportunities and film production grants to scale up the numbers in the sector.

“I am excited that the 12th AFRIFF is around the corner to further showcase the original local content to the world. The festival has offered platform for young talents to flourish. I believe this year’s event will be the biggest. We are excited as a Government to be part of it. We believe this is the right thing to do. It is only when we can hold ourselves together and tell our stories that the world will understand our history.”

Sanwo-Olu said there was no better time for all stakeholders to work collaboratively and churn out put quality contents that would confirm the position of the country as a global player in filmmaking, while attracting foreign investment.

The Governor urged the practitioners to use their ingenuity to create Africananised contents that would change the continent’s socio-cultural narrative. This way, he said the world would know Nigeria is ready.

He said: “We should take the world in an ingenious local way that will be original, content-driven and Africanised. I believe the 12th edition of AFRIFF will be a platform to leapfrog all shortcomings we have had. What you did not do yesterday, you have today to correct it because tomorrow is not promised.

“Lagos State Government, by itself, bears all the hallmarks of excellence in all aspects. Excellence starts from everything we can imagine; the creative community sits right in the middle of that. As a Government, we have committed to anything m puts Nigeria on the global map and supports our creative citizens on the world stage.”

Consul General of United States Consulate in Lagos, Mr. Will Stevens, said digital technology had transformed Nigerian film industry over the last decade, stressing that it was time for practitioners to fully benefit from Nollywood.

Given the quality content and advanced production capabilities of African films, the envoy said the second half of the 21st century would be “African moment” to fully expand the growth of its cinema industry.

AFRIFF founder, Chioma Ude, said the film festival would be held next month to celebrate African cinema and promoting original storytelling.

Meditation, prayer and counsel keep me going. I’m very aware that what I’ve been called to do is bigger than me. If it was only about me, I could wake up one day and decide to tap out but meditation keeps me constantly reminded that there are other people’s livelihoods and breakthroughs attached to what I’ve been called to do and that keeps me motivated.

A significant highlight of bringing Nollywood to Hollywood through the Essence Festival was the recognition of Nollywood’s impact and potential on the global stage.

Primeboy’s fight with Mohbad RESULTED in his death – Police

#jaiyeorie

 

 According to the Nigerian police, the injuries that late artist Mohbad suffered during a fight with his boyhood buddy Ibrahim Owoduni, alias Primeboy, is what ultimately led to his death. 

 

 Idowu Owohunwa, the commissioner of police for Lagos State, said this at a news conference on Friday while providing an update on the continuing investigation into Mohbad's death. “Ibrahim Oluwatosin Owoduni aka Primeboy is a childhood friend of Mohbad. He attended the show at Ikorodu in Mohbad’s company on 10th September 2023,” Mr Owohunwa said. 

 

 

The police commissioner further said Primeboy is held as a suspect because the late musician died in the process of treating an injury he sustained while fighting Primeboy. “At the end of the show, Mohbad and Ibrahim were engaged in a violent fight during which Mohbad was injured. The management of the injury subsequently resulted in his death. So he (Primeboy) is being treated as a suspect,” Mr Owohunwa said. Primeboy was sought for by the police on Wednesday after they said he ignored their request to speak with them about Mohbad's death.

 

 

 Primeboy, however, turned himself in to the police on Thursday, claiming to be on the run and to have no knowledge of his boyhood friend's passing. ✍️“feel free to disagree in the comments 👀 ☝️👆 & let JAIYEORIE know what U think!” 📎

Venita’s intelligence drew me to her – Adekunle

#jaiyeorie

Adekunle Olopade, an ex-Big Brother Naija All-Star, admitted he was initially intrigued to Venita's brains before going further.

The sapiosexual reality star stated that his goal for the second time around in the house was to socialize with more female roommates because he felt lacking in that department the first time around.

In a recent interview with Africa Magic, Bad Boy Deks—as he is affectionately known—confessed that he fell in love with Venita as a result of a joke he said in the House.

He admitted to the show's presenter, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, that he had never intended to date anybody while living in the house, but Venita had won his heart with her sharp mind.

Adekunle said: “To be honest, I didn’t focus on getting into a relationship, but I know that in my previous season I didn’t interact with women much. So my plan this time around was to interact with more women.

“I noticed Venita in the first week. I threw a joke in the air and she was the only one that caught it. I actually like intelligent women. I was like I’m going to pay extra attention to her. And she was very different from the rest of the housemates. So, I saw an opportunity to get to know her.

“When I was the Head of House, I was the only one upstairs. And I was like I’m not going to sleep alone this time around. So, I took her up.”

He said he learnt a lot about the dynamics of relationship from his affair with Venita in the House.

Samklef criticizes Banky W in cancelled culture

#jaiyeorie 

 

Samklef has charged renowned musician and music mogul Banky W of establishing his cancel culture in the Nigerian music business.


Additionally, he claimed that many record company executives who oppose justiceForMohbad are silent since they have similar characteristics with Naira Marley, with the exception of the fact that they do not engage in violence.

 

Samklef made the claim on his X platform, writing thus;

“Banky W, the individual who initiated my personal cancel culture in 2012 with one of his friends in Soundcity…He is now a pastor lol.

“Fellow artists, it’s time to share your genuine experiences! Don’t hesitate! The reason many of them remain quiet about this matter is that they are aware of their own involvement. They were not just violent like Naira Marley!

“I have forgiven but I will still tell my story so that other people can learn.”

I got expelled from Catholic convent - Beverly Osu

#jaiyeorie 

 

The actress Beverly Osu has discussed how she was ejected from a convent after enrolling as a reverend sister while still in high school.

She disclosed this whilst featuring in the latest episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, hosted by actor, Temisan Emmanuel Ahwieh, aka Taymesa.

She said, however, that the administrators at the school did not use the word "expulsion" specifically; instead, they begged her to carry on God's work elsewhere and never come back.

 

 

She said, “Family first said this girl is very stubborn, let us throw her in there and I just said okay.”

“It is secondary school “Daughter of Divine Love” but you register, being a sister or not.

“Na reverend sister they picked for me so I had to follow the path but they they expelled me.

“Till today, I still have small resentment like, ‘why una expel me?’ But then, I used to play secular music, I was the drum prefect and I used to do stage plays.

“Some girls woke up and said after the stage play, they were seeing me in their dreams and I am a witch because I played Lucifer.

“They expelled me because they said I was doing the most with the band, with the stage play, with not sleeping on my bed.

“They asked me to go and continue God’s work somewhere else. They did not want to say it is expulsion but gave me letter never to come back.”
