Nigeria can learn a lot from Seychelles — Lancelot Imaseun

Popular film director, screenwriter and film producer, Lancelot Imasuen, speaks with JOY MARCUS about his most memorable travel experience to Seychelles
Where is the most interesting place you have travelled to?
My most memorable travel experience was to Seychelles Island in East Africa. When I got there, I was reminded of Bayelsa State. I was fascinated by how they have turned their island into a fountain of wealth, while our country, with all our natural resources, has fallenbehind. I think the island has a population of less than a hundred thousand people and they have been able to do wonders despite their small population. The hills there reminded me of the hills in Enugu State but the irony is that while Seychelles has done wonders with its hills, ours in Enugu are almost like a curse because most times, we hear of vehicles falling off the hills.

I have nothing to prove to anyone, Rudeboy boasts

Apparently, the feud between the singing twin brothers, Peter and Paul, formerly known as P-Square, is still waxing strong going by an interview granted by Paul now referred to as Rudeboy. The singer mentioned that he had nothing to prove to anyone as he revealed why he is not in a hurry to release an album.
He admitted that he had changed everybody around him especially in his management team and the friends he relates with but he decided to stay with his brother, Jude.
During the interview with Dotun of Cool FM, the singer noted that his sound would not change much and if anyone has a problem with that, then they should be armed with $10m or keep quiet.
The singer said, “I thought of releasing an album this year, I changed my mind because if I do, most people would think it is from the 2017 group. I do not want to do that; instead I would rather continue the Rudeboy movement. Why would I release an album and when people listen to it, they begin to have different thoughts?

I’d love to have two children –Weird MC

Although Shola Idowu, popularly known as Weird MC is known to be one of the pioneer contemporary female rappers in the Nigerian entertainment scene with hits like ‘Allen Avenue,’ ‘Ijoya,’ under her belt and numerous awards on her shelf, nothing much has been heard from her in recent times.

In a chat with the rap artiste who is currently in the UK, the 47 years old entertainer mentioned that she would still love to have children of her own because she is a lover of kids. She said, “Right now, I am open to love, the love of God. All I would say is that everything would happen as he wills. Regarding having children, I came through someone, so someone has to come through me. I love kids a lot. I would love to have two. Growing up, there were six of us in the family, three boys and three girls; I do not know what the will of God is but I would love to have two children, a boy and a girl.”

How I’ve been coping without a kid for 10 years –Emeka Okoro

Though actor, Emeka Okoro, has been married for ten years, he is still looking to God for a child.
However, in an encounter with Sunday Scoop, he insisted that he is not bothered that his marriage has not yet been blessed with kids.
He said, “I have been married for ten years and we are praying to God for children. I am not worried about my situation. When you are in Christ, you will know that some situations are just temporary.”
On how he handles pressure from family members, he said, “I don’t succumb to family pressure. I am a man who controls things around me, including my family; nobody can tell me what to do. My wife is not disturbed as well because we know it is just a phase. The idea of taking another wife has never come to my mind too.”

Police conflicting statements on last Dapchi girl embarrassing, says Fayose

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described the conflicting statements from the Police on the return of the last Dapchi schoolgirl, Leah Sharibu, as another clear indication that “confusion reigns under President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.”

Fayose said, “If the IGP does not have correct informatio

Int’l Inquiries Into State Aided Killings In Nigeria As A Missing Point In Gen Theo Danjuma’s Call

The call made on Saturday, 24^th March 2018 by a former Army Chief and Defense Minister in Nigeria, Retired Lt Gen Theo Danjuma to all Nigerians of non Muslim faith particularly members of Christian faith in Northeast, North-central and Southern parts of the country to defend themselves against the ongoing widespread massacres across the country by radical armed Islamic groups such as Islamist Fulani and Boko Haram killers.

Gen Theo Danjuma also joined other informed and courageous Nigerians to accuse the Armed Forces of Nigeria and the country’s security establishments’ mangers of protecting the attackers particularly the Jihadist Fulani Herdsmen and aiding their atrocious conducts. We therefore see his call as not only grossly belated but also incomplete without addition of urgent steps by the United Nation System to set up an international commission of inquiry under the Chapter VII of the United Nations’ Charter so as to unravel the remote and immediate causes and perpetrators as well as profiteers of the killings.
