Nigerians, Which Way? You might not have a tomorrow to do this, Speak out against ‪#‎mobjustice‬ today




In the year 2014, Nigerian youths who use smartphones, digital cameras, and some of who have probably flown in aircrafts, drive cars, being driven in cars and trains, who have refrigerators at home and most probably have access to computers, the internet and the social media....

...accused an 80-year old woman of being a witch, who had turned herself into a black bird and flown from Ibadan to Lagos.

They descended on her and beat her to a pulp.


They attempted to take her life, but were stopped by the actions of another aged man who most probably does not use computers or even the social media.
 This is Nigeria.

'Why can't Nigerians watch country's biggest movie?' - Biyi Bandele






The managing director of "Half of a Yellow Sun " Biyi Bandele writes about the Nigerian Movie & Video Censors Table refusing to provide certification for the film to be shown in Nigerian cinemas. 

See it bellow.
When I heard last month that the Nigerian Film and Video Censors Board, headquartered in Abuja, had indicated that it would be unable to issue certification for "Half of a Yellow Sun" in time for the film's release date, I naturally assumed, at first, that what we were faced with was nothing more sinister than another instance of the typical, if frustrating, culture of wilful incompetence that we'd grappled with during the making of the film -- while shooting the film in Nigeria two years ago, there were times when we felt ensnared in impenetrable jungles of red tape, when we would be given the go-head by one arm of the government only to find our path blocked by the other arm.

How do you handle the criticisms trailing your line of business?
To be honest, the criticisms don’t affect me one bit. I just laugh when people say, oh this person bleaches and all. It’s a matter of choice.

"I don't know why, but I feel God has a way of doing things. I have so much on my hands now, let that matter rest for now, let me not go and marry now before my husband says he wants pounded yam, cooked by his wife not a maid. Then I will leave everything I am doing and I will be pounding yam. But when somebody who understands my kind of person and my job comes along, then it will be easier for me. After all the troubles of the day, the traffic, somebody getting you angry, there should be that one person who can calm you. Everybody would love to have somebody as a companion, so do I."

According to the artiste, the reason why musicians don’t make money from albums is because it involves making arrangement with marketers for a pay off or percentage of proceeds from the album sales.

Fashola, we are dying of noise pollution




Dear Sir, I hope this appeal meets you in good health. As you wind down on the final year of your administration, I have decided to draw your attention to one of the challenges that make Lagos one of the most hazardous places to live in the world. The menace of noise pollution in this city is one issue I believe your administration must pay close attention to beyond the current half-hearted approach of the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency and the Ministry of the Environment.

The danger of a scourge that has made Lagos to be lowly ranked on the Liveable City Index certainly demands a more aggressive approach. As you would have noticed in my introduction, my concern was to first ask after your health condition. This is because I believe that since you live among us, you are also affected by the chaos this city has become. I know that as you go about your official duties, you are also not immune from the nuisance of noise pollution.

For those of you that believe in the Ministry of the prophet, read psalm 90, 24. I pray for you that the protection of God will be upon your life.

Segun Arinze tells NFVCB boss to step down over Half Of A Yellow Sun




A couple weeks ago, the film adaptation of Chimamanda Adichie's book Half of a Yellow Sun was hitting our cinema screens...but it was stopped. I heard the main reason it was removed was because of the theme of the movie, the Hausa killing Ibo/biafra war story and because of the current situation in Nigeria, some scenes were asked to be cut from the movie by the Nigeria Film and Video Censors Board. I don't know if the scenes have now been cut or what precisely is going on today, but NFVCB has still refused to allow movie show in the cinemas.
