NOLLYWOOD:
Name: Michael Ezuruonye
This guy is actually hella talented in what he does n he can be cute, though his roles seems to always be a very bad tempered boyfriend or husband, who manhandles his girl....(gosh he plays it so well my mama hates him..lol) but he did a movie earlier this year,Dakore,Ini Edo,MonaLisa Chinda,Jim Iyke (this is d best jim iyke has eva looked, trust me...clean cut, he was lookin yum) were casted along, its called 'GAMES MEN PLAY' apparently its a copy of sum American movie...but since i havnt seen the American version, it is a very good movie....u can watch the movie online at onlinenigeria 4 FREE,all u have to do is register,heres the LINK ?(YUP, expect some issues on this site atimes, but they tried...its free...

Anyways hia is a lil bio bout him:


The beginning:
Right from primary school, Michael showed a keen interest in the world of television. He worked behind the camera writing scripts on clapper board television.
A good friend of movie producer Jeta Amata, Michael has always been involved in some capacity in the world of Arts and Theater despite having studied Accounting.
The big break:
He was buying fuel at a gas station when he was spotted by Ruke Amata of the Amata Dynasty and this happy coincidence set him on tracks to pursue his most cherished dream of becoming an actor.
The rise to fame:
Popularly nicknamed Fair Mike, the handsome actor quickly proved his talent and capabilities to convince some of the most influential decision makers in Nollywood, namely director Aquilla Njamah and producer Emem Isong to give him a chance. Director Dickson Iroegbu gave him his big break in the movie "Broken Marriage."
His shot 2 fame is d quickest ever observed in the history of Nollywood by any standards, male and female alike.His story is sometimes likened to the fairy tale Cinderella.
Credits?:
To give credit where credit is due, Michael gives accolades to the people who gave him his break and believed in him when he still had everything to prove, namely Aquilla Njamah, Emem Isong, Gabriel Moses and Dickson Iroegbu.
He is ever grateful to the public home and abroad who adopted him instantly and made him the fastest rising star in the Nollywood sky.And last but not least, his eternal gratitude goes to his loving mother for standing by him all the way.

Liz Benson is now an Evangelist oh!The Nollywood star who is now known as Evang Liz Benson was at Jesus Campaigners Ministries(JCM)when it celebrated its seventh anniversary.She was guest speaker at the occasion and is currently making waves in her calling as a campaigner for spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.In her sermon, entitled Supernatural intervention,Evang Benson charged believers to play life’s role diligently saying the love of God never fails and there is no situation he cannot address according to His will.She said:“Whatever you are going through,put up a smile,don’t despair,maintain an unshaken faith because all is well.Jesus Christ paid the prize on the cross in Calvary,so no shaking.Noting that “there are times when we look at certain situations,we think it is all over for us but God can make things to change at any given time,she remarked:“It doesn’t matter how long you have been down, God will lift you up when you get your acts right.”

Guess what??...its our own show, its tymes like this i miss naija,IDOLS WEST AFRICA is open to anybody btw the ages of 18 and 30 (as @ 1 January 2007), who are residents of the West African countries of - Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cote d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Saint Helena, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.

"Four auditions will be held for IDOLS WEST AFRICA and West African entrants should note that these auditions will be held at the following venues – on January 6 in Lagos (The Ibru Victoria Gardens), on January 15 in Abuja (Sheraton Hotel), on January 20 in Accra (venue to be confirmed) and on January 26 in Calabar (Cultural Centre). These are audition registration days and entrants may be asked to return for an audition in the days that follow. However failure to register for auditions on the given dates means no later entry will be allowed.
Further would-be entrants should not have an existing recording contract of any kind. During the audition phase, entrants can sing from a wide spectrum of music including Traditional, Western, English, Nigerian, African, Pop, Reggae, R’nB and rock, though Idols entrants should be aware that the show is looking for a pop star.
Anyone who meets these criteria can attend open auditions at one of four venues and are advised to arrive at the venue early because auditions operate on a “first come, first seen” basis with the first 1500 entrants guaranteed an audition. Also make sure to bring an identity document or passport with you to the audition to verify your details."

Importantly, contestants should remember that they get one chance to perform, one chance to make an impression, one chance to succeed...just teww teww mad! so if u hav a good voice(good is enuff!) give it a try u neva knw,may b i'ld b puttin u up as the winner and next big thing...n pple screamin ur name...hmmm,obviously i'd b rooting 4 naija contestants, i wld love 4 a girl to win cos we honestly do not hav a female naija-based Artiste(actually i wld say vocalist, cos WEIRD MC stands out 2 me n i luv SASHA--but they r rappers)who proper stands out(no disrespect 2 all y'all doin ur thing!)

The folks @ THISDAY are really doin big things! First they had the music festival with them jay z,ciara and all barely 2mnths ago and now they are having their second THISDAY style weekend, this tyme to officially launch "THISDAY STYLE:THE MAGAZINE"...hmm real nice, anyways top models: Alek Wek, Oluchi Onweagba and Yasmin Warsame arrived yday to showcase new collections from Deola Sagoe, Anna Getanah, Xuly Bet, Tiffany Amber, Ere Hart, Ijeru Coker, Dakova and the best of African fashion and style. Other models like Solange Boccovi, Kamara Madoussou George Badie, Hawa and other top models from Africa, will also perform on the catwalk.

Two young men in their 20s are on their way to a five-year jail term for allegedly getting involved in homosexuality.Ogadi Edobi and Uche Ukebi were arrested by policemen attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Ikeja after a report was made to the police.With sugar coated words like ‘I love you’ and freebies such as chin-chin, biscuits, La Casera drink, yoghurt, among others, Ukebi, 27, found in Ogadi a willing heart.The cat was let out of the bag when Ogadi allegedly stole his master’s N685,000 and handed it over to Ukebi.
...uhm arrested by Anti-robbery squad??c'mon,Nigerians now!Surely there are more things that the police can concern themselves with?lyk fraud,actual "robbery" and all?...i just cant understand d fact that they want to make 'homesexuality'a criminal offence, its simply infringing human rights.....cos its a way of life, i chose to be a xtain; u chose to b a muslim...its a way of life....

RAMPAGING robbers yesterday stormed seven banks in two different parts of Lagos leaving in their trail the death of no fewer than 23 pple with others injured. The number of casualties is the highest recorded so far in a day.One of the robbery incidents in which 16 pple lost their lives took place at the popular Alaba Int'l market along the Lagos-Badagry expressway at about 6am.Eye witnesses reported that over 50 robbers stormed five banks (names withheld)in the area in an unmarked commercial bus and another Toyota Camry car. The bandits, armed with sophisticated weapons, reportedly engaged over a hundred policemen who came to intercept them in one of the longest shoot- outs in recent times.

For acute lovers of Soul E Baba lyk myself, this is a real treat (okay mayb not as guud as what u REALLY want 4 xmas!) but really,this guy is guud! A student of the Lagos State University,he had to get his parents approval to sing,got into the studio to record his first major work entitled “Soul E Baba Dey Here.” and the rest is ...

"His effort was crowned when his debut video featured prominently on MTV Base. The success of the video, without doubt, carved a niche for Soul E as the new face of the rising profile of Nigerian artistes.Aside his debut album, Soul E’s other major breakthrough remains the signing of an agreement with the hottest spot on the island, The Vault. The contract, which will run out in six months, would see Soul E perform at the club live every last Saturday of the month.The Vault has hosted some of Nigeria’s most exquisite events since it opened its doors for business. The long list includes MTV Base, Big Brother Nigeria, Channel O and Hip-Hop World Magazine among several others."(SunNewsOnline)

QUICK HITTERS:

Nigerian actress Hassanat Taiwo Akinwande(WUNMI),appeared in court last week charged with drug trafficking.She was arrested in September by officials of the Nigerian National Drug Law Enforcement Agency while trying to get on board a London-bound Virgin Atlantic flight from Lagos. After a few days in detention,she had excreted 92 wraps of high-quality cocaine weighing in at 1.214 kg, according to the prosecution.

A gang of 30 daring armed robbers stormed the Bureaux de Change at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, Lagos, in the early hours of Monday carting away currencies worth over N150 million.

President Olusegun Obasanjo publicly submitted himself for HIV/ AIDS screening at the eagle square in Abuja.Curiously, the result of his test was not made public. But he was counseled, even as he said he was determined to keep to his promise of fighting the spread of the dreaded disease, adding that Nigeria was the first African country to provide anti-retroviral therapy in the public sector.

The United States government has barred five Nigerian governors from entering the country with effect December 1.This follows a request by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC).

Three-time sports minister and one-time chairman of the Nigeria Football Association, Air Commodore Sampson Emeka Omeruah (rtd), is dead. Reports said the debonair air force officer, known in sports circles as 'the man with the magic wand' died in a London hospital yesterday afternoon after a brief illness, at the age of 63.God be with his family in this hard time (Amen)

This post and today is dedicated to all HIV infected people, living or dead. keep your head up and live your life and remember GOD LOVES YOU!

Like some of u myt knw, 2day is WORLD AIDS DAY,over 40 million people are living with HIV throughout the world and that number escalates daily. Currently, ignorance and prejudice are fuelling the spread of this disease. Aids is more than sickness, its more than death,it destroys the society!!!

STATS:
PPLE living with HIV in Nigeria: 2,900,000
Women living with HIV in Nigeria:1,240,000
chldren infected with HIV:240,000

It is so sad that with this amount of people infected , the Government spends an estimate of =N=4 per person, how ridiculous ehn? The rest is funded by Non Govermental Organisations and other international organisations.

It's obviously not only in Nigeria, it is worldwide, AFRICA has 12million AIDS ORPHANS, Around 6,000 Young people are infected everyday. thats 5 pple every minute, so by the time u finish this post, 5 YOUNG pple are already victims.

What can u do about it? click here to help and find out how to make a difference and also to find out more info.

RED HOT A tribute to FELA goin on.
You can also start by buying the red ribbon from MAC STORES, VIRGIN MEGASTORES AND LEVIS stores. You can even have a fundraiser party and send all the proceeds to any HIV ORGANISATION in Naija or anywia in the world.

Like FEMI KUTI dey yearn, AIDS NO DEY SHOW 4 FACE, SO ZIP UP or WRAP UP...lol, abstain or use a condom, but remember it only reduces your chances. In Naija, HIV is transmitted mainly through sex....80%, 10% blood transfussion and the remaining 10% is by others eg mother to child, injections......GOD HELP US!



That woman was damn right, the emotional aspect of it kills faster than the disease itself, find out in the above websites how u can live with infected people....
