Ibinabo Fiberesima finally sworn in as Actors’ Guild President

Ibinabo Fiberisima is handed the guild’s constitution right after she was sworn in as president…
Yesterday, Saturday, September 30, 2012 former beauty queen Ibinabo Fiberisima was officially sworn in as the new president of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria (AGN) after winning the national elections.
The swearing took place at the guild’s national secretariat, 17, Ajao Road, Surulere in the presence of a few other Nollywood actors, directors and producers including movie producer Zeb Ejiro, former AGN presidents Segun Arinze and Ejike Asiegbu amongst others.
In the absence of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria Electoral Committee (AGNEC) chairman Ayo Manuel, Fiberisima was sworn in by the acting chairperson, veteran actress Rachel Oniga and another AGNEC member actress Florence Onuma.
The swearing in was however conducted hours later than earlier announced as nobody could gain access into the secretariat. The offices were locked and chained by the Landlord. The electoral committee opted to swear in the new member on the street, right in front of the building.
Controversies had plagued the elections with another Presidential aspirant Evangelist Emeka Rollas initially announced as president a few hours before the results were released.
NET eventually gathered that Fiberisima actually came tops with 97 votes, beating Rollas who scored 86 votes.
As I have been declared 7th National President of Actors Guild of Nigeria today by the Actors Guild of Nigeria Electoral Committee in Abuja, I urge all to join hands with me so that we can rebuild the Guild. However we shall not fail to fish out all those who think AGN is a money making machine and put them where they belong. Long live AGN‘, Emeka Rolla had written on his Facebook Page on Firday, September 28, 2012.
Rollas is accused of conniving with the electoral chairman Ayo Mauel to allegedly illegally announce himself president. There are also allegations that Rollas supposedly offered to pay Mauel a sum of N5M to make sure he turned out president.
Ayo Mauel could not be reached as his phones were switched off. Some of the AGN members present at the swearing said Mauel had traveled out of Lagos.
I am the president and I intend to remain president of this guild till my tenure ends and I will change the face of this guild‘, Fiberisima told pressmen right after she was sworn in as president.

Oba Of Benin Honours 2face

Hardwork, perseverance and dedication to one’s art will always be recognized sooner or later. Not minding his relatively young age or state of origin, the Oba of Benin Kingdom, Oba Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa yesterday in Benin, Edo state gave honour to whom it was due as he recognized and honored African pop icon Innocent “2face” Idibia.

The event which celebrated the ‘Oba of Benin as a Preserver’ was attended by a number of personalities including Big Brother Africa winner Uti Nwachukwu and Nollywood movie producer Lancelot Imaseun Oduwa amongst others.



The 37-year-old musician who was one of few personalities so honoured by the Oba, was given two wrist bands made of beads.

Are Femi and Funke Kuti back together?

CUTE! Funke and Femi Kuti at Sound Sultan’s anniversary concert in September 2012..
In the words of the late great English poet William Shakespeare, ’The course of true love never did run smooth‘…
It’s easy to liken that statement to the relationship between our very own Afrobeat singer Femi Kuti and former wife Funke Kuti; the ‘couple’ was recently spotted at Sound Sultan’s anniversary concert looking like an item. In the picture above, Femi plants a kiss on Funke’s cheeks as she laughs, her face beaming with pleasure.
In June, Funke was also part of the main organizers that put together the Afrobeat singer’s 50th birthday gig held at the New Afrika Shrine. Funke had joined Femi on stage while their only song Made played the piano.
On June 29, however, a Lagos Court officially ended the marriage between the two.

Catholic Mission and Campbell Streets on Lagos Island were shut to traffic on Sunday 30 September as the two streets were used as locations for the filming of a flash mob dance video of London-based singer and rapper, JJCSkillz‘ new single ‘African skank‘.

African skank‘ is a sound aptly termed Electro-Afrobeat. It is an eclectic blend of Afro Rhythm techno, Dirty dutch and pop beats all tuned to popular dances like the Azonto, Etighi and Alanta.
In the video, Ali Baba sporting a LASTMA uniform, did the Azonto dance with the hood kidz, while actress Kate Henshaw delivered her prowess in Etigi and Denrele Edun did the Massia dance.
JJCSkillz says that the flash mob dance is a new concept which has never been done in the Nigerian music scene. It was directed by JJCSkillz and Gini, CEO, Omo Ita Entertainment.
Born Abdul Rasheed Bello, JJCSkillz is the award winning artiste, director and creator of the JJC & the 419 Squad, Big Brovas and the Afropean sound (a blend of Yoruba language mixed with English). His last single ‘We Are Africans’ was a massive hit and the phenomenal response to the single lead to its various remixes in Nigeria and Europe.

Kuti family not aware of verified Fela Twitter account

The late Fela Kuti…
A representative for the Kuti family says the family is not aware that a Fela Twitter page exists let alone being verified.
The account which was created back in October 2009 was recently verified by the micro-blogging site. When NET contacted Yeni Kuti, eldest daughter of the late great Afrobeat legend, she said she was neither apprised of the account nor did she know who created it.
‘I’m not on Twitter, I don’t know who runs the account. I’ll run this by my people, this shouldn’t be legal. I’ll have to get back to you‘, she told our reporter over the telephone.
NET did a little bit of investigation and found out that the account is actually being run by independent US label Knitting Factory Records (KFR). The label is responsible for re-releasing Fela’s catalog controlled by top gun label Universal Music.
Seun Kuti, Afrobeat singer and the last son of Fela released his 2011 album ‘From Africa With Fury: Rise under the Knitting Factory imprint.
Our E-mails sent to KFR were not responded to as at the time of this report.

Men Are Scared Stiff To Ask Me Out-Karen Igho

Co-winner of the sixth season of Africa’s biggest reality competition ‘Big Brother Africa’ 2011, Karen Igho has challenged men to approach her, she said she is certainly not a hard knot to crack when it comes to falling in love.
 
"I'm a woman who desires to be loved and wooed by the opposite sex. Men are supposed to woo me. I’m a woman and I’m very soft. They shouldn’t be scared of asking me out. I want a decent man, and not any kind of man,”the Edo State born entertainer said

Karen expressed disappointment that men are not bracing up the courage to woo her, despite the fact that she is not as difficult as they think.

Declaring however that she’s still “single and ready to mingle”, Karen who only few months ago debuted as a radio personality with the fast rising Lagos indigenous radio station, Naija fm 102.7, set a standard for her dream man.

“He must not only be ‘God-fearing’ and comfortable’ but also, he must be down-to-earth and not necessarily a bachelor,” she declared.
