Nollywood has been hijacked by money bags — Joy Kingsley
Nollywood has been hijacked by money bags — Joy Kingsley
Rising actress cum producer, Chukwurah Joy Favour popularly known as Joy Kingsley is currently disturbed as she has accused ‘money bags’ and quack producers, of hijacking the nation’s movie industry.Joy made this allegation against the backdrop of the prevailing trend in the industry, where the budding actors and actresses are indiscriminately compelled to pay for movie roles by the shylock producers.This ugly development, according to the actress, informed her decision to go into film production to encourage and discover fresh talents. She described the practice as “unethical”adding that it would in no small measure deprive the industry of great potentials in the future, as those who are highly talented but cannot afford to pay their way through, would be deprived of the opportunity to hit the limelight. To match her words with action, Joy who recently moved into her Lekki home after she bought herself a brand new car, is due to premiere her debut movie as a producer.

President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order this week that could restrict people from seven, predominantly Muslim countries from entering the US. It comes after the Republican pledged during his election campaign to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the nation. He later said migrants from certain countries that pose a threat would have to undergo “extreme vetting”. The order to temporarily suspend visas for citizens from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Sudan is expected to be signed at some point this week, according to aides who have been briefed. After visa suspension, vetting process begins The majority of the seven countries have a high level of displaced people as a result of conflict. It is thought that President Trump will also propose to temporarily ban refugees from entering the US. Religious minorities escaping persecution will not face the restriction, it has been reported.

Italian police on Wednesday
arrested four men accused of being the leaders of a human trafficking
ring which smuggled people from Africa to Europe and forced women into
the sex trade upon arrival in Italy.
Another two men were arrested on suspicion of financially supporting the network and selling illegal drugs.
The group, which was headquartered in Padua in northern Italy, had accomplices in Nigeria, Libya and Sicily.
Police said the network ran an “extremely lucrative” operation.
Telephone conversations between ring members and traffickers in Libya
revealed large numbers of people hoping to be taken across the sea to
Europe are being held captive near the Libyan capital Tripoli in
appalling conditions.
“They are massed together to wait in captivity as price negotiations
are completed and the payment is made (for the boat journey), during
which time they are subjected to all types of abuse, from starvation to
beatings to sexual assault,” the police said in a statement.
Police said it began investigating the suspects in June after a
Nigerian girl, a minor, informed officers that she had been smuggled to
Italy and upon arrival was held captive and forced into prostitution.
She had been held by the ring near the Sicilian city of Ragusa.
Among the record 181,000 all the migrants who reached Italy by boat last year, more than a fifth were Nigerian. A half-million migrants have arrived on Italians shores since the start of 2014.
Humanitarian groups say the number of illegal migrants being forced into prostitution in Italy is rising.PREMIUM TIMES

TRUMP, BUHARI AND GOODLUCK JONATHAN
Kanayo Firms is A Political analyst
and A human development agent. His desperation to see corruption end in
this country has led him into speaking to the public, with the aim to
change the mindset of people who have been living in darkness and
deception to understand that current Government is actually acting
contrary to what they promised in the name CHANGE
Going
by the news that Trump snubbed Buhari to invite GEJ to his
inauguration; I'm beginning to worry that the existence of Nigeria will
once again depend on the choices of GEJ.
If GEJ decides to go
Machiavellian and usurp power from Buhari, going by the nefarious acts
of Fulani herdsmen, the religious cleansing in Southern Kaduna, and the
insensitivity of the government towards Biafra, then we have something
to worry about.
Don't forget that GEJ's government developed
alliance with the Russians in the wake of his fight against Boko Haram.
We all know what Russia is to America in a Trump's Presidency.
You've Got a Date But Dont Know What to Wear
You've Got a Date But Don't Know What to Wear
A date is exciting. But one of the biggest issues for
a date is deciding on what to wear. Getting the right dress for a date can put
a lot of pressure on you. Here are some tips to help you decide how to dress
well as to make up fro different type of dates.
Black is the easiest and safest of all colours, and
this season we have a lot of colour to experiment such as OLIVE GREEN, PINK,
SEDUCTIVE PURPLE and GREY/HARSH.
Patent is the finish touch that needs to take the
center stage, so keep the rest of your outfit simple. It pulls an outfit
together in a way that makes it look effortlessly stylish and very classy.
Considering wearing something a little more casual. Often
time’s day-time dates are meant to alleviate some degree of anxiety. I recommend
a subtle bag with jeans and shirt dress or a cute skirt with a nice top as well
as some accessories to top it up. For a date that involves lots of walking, go
for flat shoes that will keep your feet snug when walking long distances. Light
make will do.

As at the early 1960s, Nigeria palm oil production accounted to
43% of the world production; attributed to the massive contribution of
the then Eastern Region parts of Nigeria. In many of our local
communities those days, local Palm oil mill could be seen owned and
manned by private individuals..and some times the local government. But today
oil palm production is accounted to 7% globally. The production of oil
palm became like a tradition/culture passed down from predecessors to
their descendants. A treasure passed down from our ancestors but
nowadays this treasure is being neglected, despised and being left to
diminish. Oil palm is a treasure in the East that ought to be excavated
and utilized towards greater Output.
These works therefore reflects on d Old ways of resource Control
through palm Oil. They were exhibited in the life in my city off

7- and 12-Year-Old Suicide Bombers Kill Five in Suspected Boko Haram Attack
Nigeria: 7- and 12-Year-Old Suicide Bombers Kill Five in Suspected Boko Haram Attack
Two children, suspected to be 7 and 12 years old and believed to be linked to the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) branch Boko Haram, reportedly carried out twin suicide bombings Monday that left at least five people dead and 15 others injured at the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) in the capital of northeastern Nigeria’s Borno State.
Although the ISIS Nigeria-based branch has not officially claimed
responsibility for the deadly attack on a mosque and another location
within UNIMAID, authorities and some local news outlets note that the incident bears the hallmarks of Boko Haram’s brutality.
“Several times, the Boko Haram terrorists have made attempts to
attack the university, but the military repelled them,” notes Nigeria’s Daily Post.
The attack comes after Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari claimed last month that his government had dealt the “final crushing
of Boko Haram terrorists in their last enclave in Sambisa Forest,” the
group’s primary stronghold that covers states parts of the northeastern
states of Borno, Yobe, Gombe, Bauchi, and Kano.
However, Boko Haram-affiliated attacks have reportedly continued. The Nigerian government has repeatedly claimed in the past to have “totally” crushed the terrorist group.

Chelsea defeat isn’t good news for Liverpool
Jan Molby: Why Chelsea defeat isn’t good news for Liverpool
By The Sport Review staff
Jan Molby has admitted that he is unsure whether Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-0 win against Chelsea is necessarily good news for Liverpool.
The Merseyside outfit are in second place in the Premier
League table and five points behind leaders Chelsea after Antonio
Conte’s men suffered their first defeat since September after a 13-game
winning run.
Dele Alli scored either side of half-time to end Chelsea’s
100 per cent record since a 3-0 loss at Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium
in their sixth game of the 2016-17 Premier League season.
Tottenham have won their last five top-flight fixtures to
hoist Mauricio Pochettino’s men up to third place in the Premier League
table and two points adrift of second-placed Liverpool.
Manchester United, meanwhile, have won six Premier League
games on the spin to move the Red Devils to within a point of
fourth-placed Manchester City ahead of the visit of Liverpool on Sunday
15 January.

John Terry offers thoughts on Instagram about that red card
John Terry offers thoughts on Instagram about that red card
He doesn’t agree
Chelsea captain John Terry saw red during their FA Cup tie with Peterborough, and while manager Antonio Conte made
it clear he felt Terry had played well, and did not deserve to be sent
off, the player himself waited for a while after the game before
speaking out.
The he took to Instagram to offer his thoughts and congratulations to
the players who scored during the game, and also to defender Kurt Zouma
for playing after such a long time out.
The club will appeal
Terry himself had been injured and out of the side, and has spent the
last 11 games on the sidelines – and will be sat in the stands again
unless his appeal is successful.Terry posted on his Instagram account to
confirm he hopes the FA will have another look at the incident, and
seems to feel he was hard done by – as he didn’t touch the Peterborough
player in question.

Robot marriage is next after same-sex marriage, say experts
Benjamin Butterworth
Experts are predicting that humans will be able to marry robots by 2050.
David Levy, author of a book on human-robot love, made the prediction at a ‘Love and Sex with Robots’ conference.The University of London event predicted that the human-robot marriages will be legal by 2050.
Though it may seem far flung, robots that humans can have sex with have long been in the pipeline.
Now those in the know are predicting that humans will be able to go one step further and invest maritally in their robotic partners.
Adrian Cheok, a computing professor at City University London and director of the Mixed Reality Lab in Singapore, says the prediction is not so unlikely.

Queen attends church after illness
Queen attends church after illness
Sun 08 Jan 2017
By Marcus Jones
The Queen
has attended church for the first time in 2017 and the first time since a
heavy cold kept her away from services over the festive period.
Dressed in royal blue, the
monarch arrived at St Mary Magdalene church, on her Sandringham estate
on Sunday, having missed her regular appearances on Christmas Day and
New Year's Day because of the lingering respiratory illness.
Speaking about the illness, Royal
historian Kate Williams said: "She has this incredible health, she
barely misses an engagement...she's so strong.
"I think that's why we expect to be this non-stop, super woman, always well.
"The fact that she falls prey to a cold is quite surprising."

These six career resolutions will transform the way you work
These six career resolutions will transform the way you work
INSTEAD OF setting the same vague goals year after year, try these
six unexpected career resolutions that experts say could make you
happier, more engaged, and even more successful in your work.
Explore how you can make your work more meaningful
We’ve all seen the research about how many people are not engaged in
their work or actively hate their jobs. You have a decision to make: You
can dive in and decide to make positive changes. Or you can detach from
your job emotionally and get your validation elsewhere, says Danielle
Harlan, founder and CEO of the Center for Advancing Leadership and Human
Potential and author of The New Alpha: Join the Rising Movement of
Influencers and Changemakers Who Are Redefining Leadership.
Many people are disenchanted with the state of the world, Harlan
says. Think about the changes you need to make to feel more fulfilled
overall.
"Think about the organization you’re working with: What do they do,
or what does my team do that creates a positive impact in the world?
Look for what choices you can make, and actions you can take, that are
going to bring you more meaning," she says.
"That may mean making changes in your career to get the fulfillment
you’re seeking, or readjusting the rewards you seek from work and other
areas of your life."
Embrace the haters
Are there people in your work life you can’t stand? It’s probably
hurting you more than it’s hurting them, says former Wall Street analyst
Amy Newmark, publisher and editor-in-chief of the popular Chicken Soup
for the Soul book series, and author of Simply Happy: A Crash Course in
Chicken Soup for the Soul Advice and Wisdom.
Try to let go of the negative emotions and take a more analytical
approach, Newmark says. What is the person’s motivation for taking
objectionable action? Usually, it’s more about them than about you.
"I realized that almost all the things that have ever been
unpleasant—somebody yelling at me or whatever—really weren't about me.
I've learned that you shouldn't take these things personally," she says.
You don’t have to be a doormat, but you also don’t have to waste energy on grudges.
Go for what you want before you're ready
Expect more of those around you
