10. Relentless

Year of production: 2010
Production Platform: Clam Films
Directed by: Andy Amadi Okoroafor
Genre: Drama
Shot on: Celluloid (35mm)
NOTES: Brillant Cinematography with stunning visuals of the beautiful bustling city of Lagos to go with it. Very good performance from Gideon.
-Con: Really, 'I' didn't get what this film is about!
It's generally a good watch anyway.... I would recommend to anyone who wants to catch a movie at a leisure hour...

9. Flower Girl



Starring: Damilola Adegbite, Chris Attoh, Eku Edewor, Bikiya Graham Douglas and Chuks Chukwujekwu
Year of production: 2013
Production Platform: Blu Star Entertainment
Directed by: Michelle Bello
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Shot on: Red camera
NOTES: Brilliant Cinematography and stunning visuals with a good story to go with it. And a lot of beautiful casts.
-con: It's unrealistic for most part (I don't know if this is a con though)....so if you are looking for 'Realism', don't bother.


8. Murder at Prime Suites (M@PS)


Starring: Joseph Benjamin, Keira Hewatch and Chelsea Eze
Year of production: 2013
Production Platform: C&C Screen Production
Directed by: Eneaji Chris EnenG
Genre: Crime Thriller
Shot on: HDSLR (Not sure, it just looks like it )
NOTES: This is a very brilliant movie with a good story! Very professional! Well researched! and it didn't try to 'overdo' itself. Above all, it makes lots of sense...it didn't propagate any bullshiit Nigerian stereotype like a typical 'old nollywood' style movie would do for a movie of this genre. It was very practical all through. Also good performance from beautiful Keira Hewatch....I'm watching you.
-Con: It was suppose to be a 'thriller', but for me o (I don't know about you), I didn't see any serious suspense. Again I wish there's a better Character development (Don't get me wrong; the characters were developed, I for one just expected more - Especially the family side of the detectives).
I recommend this movie to anyone!



7. Journey To self



Starring: Nse Ikpe-Etim, Dakore Akande, Ashionye Michelle Raccah, Tosin Sido and Katherine Obiang.
Year of production: 2013
Production Platform: Fressia Entertainment
Directed by: Tope Oshin-Ogun
Genre: Melo-Drama
Shot on: RedOne
NOTES: Oh God, okay this movie is beautiful! - storywise. It used the 'slow-pacing' method to get its message across. Also the Colour Grading was perfect for a movie of that genre....'cool, tinted'....awesome! And then A star studded movie....Eye candy stars at that. Beautiful Music too that suits the mood of the movie. This movie would've been higher on my list, but the sound was a let down.
-Con: The Sound! And it is slow (I don't know if this should be a CON)! So if you dislike Slow movies....don't bother about this cos you gonna hate it!



6. Hoodrush



Starring: OC Ukeje, Bimbo Akintola, Gabriel Afolayan, Chelsea Eze and Ijeoma Agu
Year of production: 2012
Production Platform: Flipsyde Studios
Directed by: Dimeji Ajibola
Genre: Musical
Shot on: 35mm 'Digital Camera Setup'
NOTES: Another brilliant movie. Good storyline and good cinematography ...and melodic songs. Brilliant performance from Bimbo Akintola! OC and Gabriel weren't bad either.
-Con: I don't know if this is a con, but the movie is actually eeeermmm........146 Minutes long. That shouldn't be a problem for bollywood fans, I guess.
I recommend this to anyone...even if you have problem with the duration, sha go see it! You ain't gonna realize how fast the time would fly!

5. Confusion Nawa



Starring: Ramsey Noah, OC Ukeje, Tunde Aladese, Ali Nuhu, Tony Goodman and Gold Ikponmwosa
Year of production: 2013
Production Platform: Cinema Kpatakpata
Directed by: Kenneth Gyang
Genre: Dramedy
Shot on: HDSLR
NOTES: Brilliant Script-writing! Brilliant script-writing! That is the star of this film. A very simple story that is well written, that is Confusion Na Wa. I must say I bashed this film no be small...the title alone, the poster, the name of the production company sef, the trailer.....everything looked like such a big joke then and I was turned off. After seeing the movie 'by mistake', I was pleasantly surprised and I chewed my words. I hope the filmmakers would consider what the title of a movie can do to their film next time!
I recommend this to everyone!

Brilliant Story! Brilliant Cinematography! Brilliant performance from the casts. Tight dialogues with memorable quotes! It was just a pleasant experience watching this movie.
-Con: too much generalization. But w.t.h, it's fiction!
I recommend this to anyone.

Patience Jonathan Blasts Governor Akpabio: Stop Deceiving My Husband, You Have a Secret Agenda

 

Governor Godswill Akpabio is one of the governors believed to be close to President Goodluck Jonathan in the political calculation of 2015, but those who know what is really going on are saying that Akpabio is also one of those on Jonathan's 1,000 political watch list that ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo exposed.

As you read this, the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party as a result of President Jonathan’s second term ambition may have claimed another casualty. The latest, according to an inside source, is the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio, as his secret ambition has finally come out open.

Inside sources within the nation’s seat of power informed THE INK newspaper that Nigeria’s first lady and wife of the President, Dame Patience Jonathan descended ferociously on Akpabio at the Presidential Villa in Abuja recently, accusing him of being a cog in the wheel of the process to resolve the crisis in the PDP.

According to the source, a visibly angry Patience Jonathan shouted at the Governor and asked him why he is busy deceiving her husband, President Jonathan.

She was said to have told Governor Akpabio point blank that he should stop masquerading himself before her husband as a peacemaker and concentrate on his now revealed Vice Presidential ambition.

Reports reaching the First Lady, the source continued, have confirmed that Governor Akpabio’s treachery and pursuit of his Vice Presidential ambition is responsible for the failure of the reconciliation process in the party and one of the reasons the G7 Governors have ditched the party.

It was further revealed that the First Lady accused the Governor of being on a mission to destroy Jonathan for his selfish interest. She is said to have cited Akpabio’s recent spate of private visits to leading traditional rulers and politicians in the North and other parts of Nigeria.

The President’s wife is said to have told the Governor that she was aware that Akpabio is working for his own ambition while pretending to be working for the re-election of the President. The source who spoke on strict confidentiality said that a visibly embarrassed Akpabio was dumbfounded and broke down in tears.

Events, artistes that shaped 2013

By Nonye Nkwocha
As 2013 draws to a close, it is time to take stock of events and artistes that shaped the year. Indeed, it was an eventful year, a year full of surprises as it witnessed many upsets and of course, new revelations. The Entertainer brings you the prime events and musicians who dominated 2013.
KCEE’s moment
KCEE has finally broken the jinx and found his footing. His track, Limpopo could get nominated for the award for Song of the Year. It received millions of downloads online and completed the successful transformation of KC of KC Presh to KCEE.
With the release of his album, Pull Over, the lead track has seized the airwaves and there’s no doubt that this is KCEE’s moment! He has successfully given us back to back two straight hits.
For this effort, most music fans may tip KCEE for The Music Man of The Year Award.
Sean Tizzle, Revelation of The Year
The year will go down as one when hip-hop singer, Sean Tizzle (Seun Morihanfen) established himself as a force to reckon with in the music industry. From nowhere, the act shot into the limelight following the success of his runaway single, Sho Lee. He also performed on the biggest platforms including Julius Agwu’s Crack Ya Ribs. As 2014 rolls in, Sean Tizzle is definitely one of the acts to watch out for.
Rise and rise of new generation stars
2013 remains a remarkable year for new generation singers. Wizkid, Olamide and Davido all gave a good account of themselves in the year under review. Wizkid set night clubs and parties bubbling with his hit track, Back To The Matter, Carol and Jaiye Jaiye, featuring Femi Kuti, while Davido ruled with Skelewu and Phyno made an impact with Ghost Mode, featuring Wizkid. Olamide’s new album, Yahoo Boy No Laptop featuring the hit song, Duro So Ke, also made huge impact and as 2014 beckons, these acts are on top of the watch list.
However, one musician we cannot ignore is Burna Boy whose latest album, LIFE, an Afrofusion has been a resounding success.
Year of Skelewu
It was definitely a good year for hip hop singer, Davido. He started a new thing in music when he dropped his latest track, Skelewu, which came with its own dance steps. The track could have been just one of those tracks of 2013, but the act made so much noise about it and there was talk of his shooting several videos which cost millions. Before one could say Jackie Robinson, Skelewu was everywhere. Davido is definitely going places in the New Year.
Iyanya’s year of endorsements
Until Tuface’s N20 million-endorsement deal with Guinness Nigeria Plc in 2004, endorsements were rarely heard of as far as Nigerian music was concerned. However, all that has changed. And now, Iyanya would not forget this year in a hurry as far as endorsement is concerned. The artiste raked in a whopping N130 million from endorsements in the year under review.
Iyanya hit pay dirt when he closed a deal with Solo Mobile worth N35 million. A while later, he got a N40 million ambassadorship deal with MTN, and before anyone knew what was happening, he had inked another endorsement deal worth N65 million with Zinox Technologies Limited.
As 2014 beckons, Iyanya has no excuse but to take his game to the next level.
Goldie’s shocking exit
It was with shock that Nigerians on February 14 woke up to receive the news of the passing away of Susan Harvey popularly known as Goldie. What made her sudden exit so painful was that the singer died just when her career was beginning to blossom on Valentine’s Day after she returned from the Grammy Awards.
Reports later revealed that Goldie succumbed to hypertension, and as the week rolled by, she became the source of even more controversy as her husband, Andrew Harvey, whom she successfully hid from the media popped out of the blues. The Briton declared that he was the singer’s only legal husband amid reports that she was having an affair with BBA’s Prezzo, even as there was talk of marriage between the two housemates.
