100 persons were honoured with Centenary awards by the Federal Government as part of Nigeria’s Centenary celebration. Professor Soyinka who was among the 100 rejected the award as the late Nigerian tyrant, General Sani Abacha and other known killers and looters of Nigeria’s treasury were also on the list.

In a rejection note headlined 

"The Canonisation of Terror", Soyinka observed that the inclusion of Abacha on the list does not only show a failure of a moral rigour but it calls into question "the entire ethical landscape into which this nation has been forced by insensate leadership".

Think Like A Man Too star Meagan Good had to deal with some intense  criticism after hitting the 2013 BET Awards red carpet in a bright blue gown with a plunging neckline and she has decided to set the record straight.

Good, who is married to Sony Pictures Executive and Seventh Day Adventist pastor Devon Franklin, presented the Best Gospel Artist award and the Mother Board commenting on social media instantly began harshly judging her attire.Read Good’s response below:

“@adriannacolbert That’s the thing Girl- is that I don’t feel convicted about this at all. my spirit is saddened that our people only know one way to think and process things..

I’m not any less holy because the dress I wore -I may not be who people think I should be -but I’m morphing into exactly who God wants me to be.. My excuse is never “I’m going to do me” and I don’t feel that I need to make an excuse or defend or what I wore .. I know I have a responsibility -and I’m working daily to fulfill the full potential of all God has created me to be..

Popular actress Meagan Good, who is well known for her role as Mya in the hit movie Think Like A Man, based on Steve Harvey’s best seller: Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, showed a little too much of herself at the just concluded BET awards.

Meagan is reportedly married to Pastor Devon Franklin, who she was said to have dated for 10 months before tying the knot. At that time, she also revealed she was remaining celibate before they officially became husband and wife.  Although she was not raised in the church, Good says she is a Christian and considers herself very spiritual and has said many times that she will not do roles that she feels disrespects God and that Jesus is her hero.  But when she stepped out at the 2013 BET Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles, California on Sunday, the 31-year-old actress flaunted her cleavage in a plunging blue gown.

Latest information coming in from Nigeria indicates that the Ghanaian delegation of actors, producers and filmmakers who attended the ninth edition of the Africa Movie Academy Awards (AMAA) in Nigerian over the weekend was completely ignored, snubbed and left high and dry by the organisers.

Though the Ghanaian delegation was officially invited to the event, and the members were assured that they would be chauffeured from the hotel to the red-carpet opening ceremony, which was to start at exactly 5:00 p.m last Saturday, no vehicle came for the group until it eventually had to plead with Yvonne Okoro to use her Nigerian 'connection' to arrange a vehicle.

Again, when the Ghanaian delegation, including actor Kofi Adjorlolo, Eddie Nartey, Prince David Osei, Yvonne Okoro and several others entered the auditorium, they were shocked to realize that no seating arrangement had been made for them.
