 Toke Makinwa Becomes White and White Brand Ambassador  - By Ingram Osigwe I If you are a popular On Air Personality, OAP and video vixen, you certainly will be proud to sign a deal with a world class brand, one that is a skin Caregiver, as a brand Ambassador.If you are in doubt, ask Toke Makinwa. Makinwa recently clinched a mouth watering deal with Fair and White and can't stop testifying to the goodness of the brand. The event held in Lagos. The Fair and White variant the delectable OAP will be representing globally is So White and she is ecstatic about it. Who wouldn't be? She says So White is fittingly perfect for her skin, custom made for her skin type. Hear Makinwa : "Looking for an avant-garde skin? Here’s an avant-garde brand that’s been around for soooo long, I grew up on it."

Wole Soyinka is The Greatest Writer of All Time Since Antiquity

Image
To me Prof. Wole Soyinka is the greatest writer of all time since Antiquity. His works speak volumes of his universal  genius in literature from his mastery of modern drama, poetry and prose to his mastery of classical literature and the nature of humankind in a turbulent world. His early masterpiece, "The Lion and the Jewel" , 1959, inspired me to write my "Dance of the Locusts" and his classical masterpiece "The Bacchae of Euripides", (1973), inspired me to write an existential drama on life after life.  He so inspired me that at only 17 I wrote, produced and directed my first play, " The Prodigal " for the Education Unit of the National Museum in Onikan on the Lagos Island and I also played the lead role with my teenage sweetheart, Tina Atinuke Ige playing the leading lady. It was a successful play and gave me a full page interview in the Times International news magazine, by Henry Atenaga, a contemporary of the phenomenal Nigerian novelist,

She Reads in Motion

  #saturdayvibes💋✌🏼️  Reading in Motion One of the most circulated film stills from a Nigerian documentary film and movie. I titled it, "Reading in Motion" showing #Nollywood actress,, Celina James reading, "Conspiracy of Lagos" by Bisi Daniels in."Lagos in Motion " I showed three beautiful young Nigerian actresses reading novels about Lagos and Nigeria. Because, any motion picture of Lagos without showing any aspect of the literary culture and literature and haute couture of the people in Africa's largest megacity is incomplete. There is no narrator and no narration in the documentary film. I simply showed Lagos and people in the people in the city in motion.   - By Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima.

I See What Ordinary Eyes Cannot See

Image
I see what ordinary eyes cannot see. I see islands in the clouds I see cities in the skies. I see what ordinary eyes cannot see. I see the cherubs as they fly and sway. I see the celestial driveway in the Milky Way. I see what ordinary eyes cannot see. I do not see you through the eyes of your world. I see you through the eyes of my God. I see what ordinary eyes cannot see. - EKENYERENGOZI Michael Chima. From "In the Eyes of God", the new collection of my original poems to be released soon. https://www.amazon.com/author/ekenyerengozimichaelchima .

Where is the Remaining N1.9 Billion of the Project Act Nollywood Fund?

Image
Where is the Remaining N1.9 Billion of the Project Act Nollywood Fund? The laudable Project Act Nollywood was initiated and launched by the administration of former  President Goodluck Jonathan. The Project ACT Nollywood was a N3 billion-grant programme set up by the Federal Government for the sustainable development of the Nigerian film industry. Over 200 practitioners benefited from the training in TV and film productions in local and foreign film schools with the majority traveling overseas in controversial circumstances, because there was really no need for them to travel overseas for special short term courses on filmmaking which they could have studied in the accredited film schools in Nigeria. But they just wanted to go on ego trips with free money from the federal government. The Innovative Film Distribution Programme of the fund was for the establishment of an effective film distribution system and the prevention of piracy. The federal governent received 383 completed applic
