Welcome to Sam-Tsokwa Qpeed's Blog: FG is confused —Festus Keyamo, Human Rights Lawyer...

The lure of the bright lights of Nollywood, the fame, the money, and the street credibility really appears at an all-time high. You either make it, fake it, or go the extra mile to get it. With such competition rife, we’ve seen the industry many times veer to the extreme, with nudity and ‘immorality’ rearing its controversial head, growing in leaps and bounds. But one thespian whose support definitely won’t be given to the emerging pop culture is veteran actor and one-time Chairman of the Actors Guild pf Nigeria (AGN), Pastor Zack Orji.
Revealing to the News Agency of Nigeria in Owerri, Imo state, Orji condemned the ‘rise of immorality’. He noted that movies which were originally meant to promote the people’s cultural heritage and discipline were being destroyed in the name of civilisation..
“Most movies shown in recent times are capable of destroying the moral background of children as they have become the most popular movie audience.
“Film production must be properly checkmated before circulation because it is wrong for an actor or actress to expose his or her body to the world in the disguise of acting,” he said.
He said that some actresses were suspended during his regime as the chairman of the Actors Guild, advising actors and actresses to lead lives worthy of emulation.
Orji, a pastor in the Power Life Assembly Ministry, Owerri also revealed that in spite of ministerial work, he was still active in the industry but could only accept scripts that promote morality.

Dillish is the Winner of Big brother Africa 2013

Image
After expressing her desires to be the first woman to win the Big Brother grand prize since Zambia's Cherise did so seven seasons ago, Dillish has done it for all of Africa's women! The gorgeous Namibian started her Chase race as the proverbial underdog and was labeled everything from lazy to a pampered princess. As the Chase rolled on however, Dillish quickly emerged as a very strong contender for the Chase title and won her fellow Housemates and Africa over, with her quirky, accented alter ego, aptly titled Princess Dillish. The Namibian made sure to stay away from trouble and coasted through the Chase by taking her place behind the scenes. While her fellow Housemates got themselves into hot water, fighting and gossiping their way to what they hoped was the top of the mountain, Dillish remained grounded and maintained cordial relations with her fellow Housemates. The only time the Namibian got herself in a spot of trouble was when she and her good friend,

Maiduguri - Boko Haram, which wants to impose Islamic law in Nigeria's north, and other spin-off Islamist groups have become the biggest threat to stability in Africa's top oil exporter.   Suspected members of Boko Haram killed 11 people in an attack on Damboa town in Borno state on Thursday, shooting at soldiers, burning shops and killing civilians, a military source said, asking not to be named because he was not authorized to give official statements. "More troops have been dispatched to the area to confront the insurgents. They sneaked away towards the bush leading to parts of Yobe and Gombe States," the source said. Around 50 gunmen in cars and motorbikes stormed the rural town, forcing hundreds of residents to flee to hide in nearby farms, locals said. In neighboring Gombe state, police officers killed seven members of Boko Haram in a two-hour gun fight in the early hours of Friday, Gombe Police Spokesman Fwaje Atajiri told reporters.
