And also tipped for the female lead is sexy and sultry Nollywood actress Beverly Naya who was OC Ukeje’s lover in “Alan Poza”.

“I have already started considering Okechukwu Chukwudi Ukeje and Beverly Naya for the lead roles with Olu Jacobs and Ngozi Ezeonu as the parents of ‘Oma’ the lead actress. Naked Beauty is totally different from anything in Nigerian movies, combining fine art photography and cinematography to capture the awesome nature of the Niger Delta epitomized by the male lead ‘Tonye’ who is a nature photographer and the beauty of his muse "Oma". It is a story you will fall in love with,” said Michael Chima.

“I loved Michael Brierley's cinematography in Darrel Roodt's "Yesterday", the 2004 South African drama nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 77th Academy Awards. So, I am already considering one of the best cinematographers from France whose younger brother Robert Minangoy, a former Regional Audio-Visual Attache for West Africa has agreed to be my co-director and we are also getting a French Editor”

The film will be ready early next year, but Michael Chima who is also the Publisher/Editor of the new Nollywood Mirror magazine will not give the details of the budget and financiers, except that the film will produce the highest paid actors in Nollywood and there are already commercial distributors interested in the spin-offs from the worldwide publicity campaigns in major international languages.

This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions.

Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security.
