100 Stars of Nollywood and Kannywood


On Friday November 27, 2013, the Association of Movie Producers (AMP) in Nigeira celebrated their Nollywood @20 Grand Awards and honoured dozens of both notable and not so notable actors, actresses, producers, directors, screenwriters, sound engineers, make up artists, costumiers, entertainment reporters, marketers and distributors and others with awards in different categories. But there were some inexcusable omissions on their list of those who have achieved and contributed to what Nollywood has become today as Africa's biggest and largest home entertainment film industry of home videos and TV dramas. There was no call for nominations before they made their selections and till date there is still no list of the nominees and winners on their Nollywood @20 website http://nollywoodat20.com/, except a carousel of selected Nollywood stars, movie posters and news on how they came up with the idea of Nollywood @20 that would have been held last year 2012 when Nollywood actually became twenty years since the release of the best selling Igbo language home video "Living in Bondage" in 1992. But before "Living in Bondage", several best selling home videos were released in Yoruba and Hausa languages. The controversy on the true history of Nollywood is not the mission of our resolution to celebrate the shining stars of both Nollywood and Kannywood, because they are the ones who have attracted millions of movie lovers to watch thousands of their movies in videos and on TV and have become household names not only in Nigeria, but in other countries of Africa and the rest of the world. Millions of viewers have become passionate fans of these celebrated actors and actresses in Nollywood and Kannywood and they can nominate and vote for those who should make our final list of 100 Stars of Nollywood and Kannywood to be released in 2014 to celebrate the Nigeria Centenary.

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
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. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people.

Let Us Talk To Boko Haram - Nigerian Professor

Image
A Commentary Direct Talk and Psychological Accessibility to the Boko Haram Group Is worth the Trial in Nigeria It is now obvious that the nation is now fully plagued by terrorism which is so widespread and monumental that it is hard to unravel. At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath. 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. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
