NOLLYWOOD MAKING ALUU 4 MOVIE

The movie is currently being shot and is produced by Simony Productions. The title of the movie is Aluu4. For once I wish this Nollywood producers will be display some form of sense. How can they shoot a movie barely a month after the sad incident that we are all yet to recover from not to talk of the families of the victims, when the case hasn't even been solved yet? How will the movie end then? And you can bet they didn't do proper research on what transpired that day. All to make money 'cos I know it's not about paying tribute to the memory of the young men who lost their lives in the most brutal way. So insensitive of the producers and all the actor to be featured in this movie. What a shame!

Grace Adeleye

According to dailymailuk, a Nigerian nurse in the U.K has been dragged to court for performing a circumcision that led to the death of a four-week-old baby. Read how they reported it below;

A four-week-old baby bled to death after a botched home circumcision by a nurse, a court heard today. Goodluck Caubergs died the day after nurse Grace Adeleye carried out the procedure without anesthetic and using only a pair of scissors, forceps and olive oil, Manchester Crown Court heard. The 66-year-old medic is originally from Nigeria, as are the youngster’s parents, where the circumcision of newborns is the tradition for Christian families, the jury heard.

I've noticed that Daily Mail U.K never reports anything positive about Nigerians, if you're wondering what I'm talking about read HERE and HERE. I believe there are Nigerians over there who are doing great and amazing things but they never report it. Continue to read the rest of their report after the cut...

The Chief of Staff to Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has shared his opinion on pastors owning private jets. Read his words below;

“I cast my vote for Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah and Pastor Tunde Bakare in their demosthenic vitriol against spiritual megalomaniacs whose modus vivendi has become increasingly byzanthine and repulsively narcissistic. We must all begin to deprecate this razzmatazz and Nestorian braggadocio in the “HOUSE OF GOD”, because when there is no difference between the values of a Pastor and a typical Nigerian Politician,then it’s truly a bolekaja ambience,”

Can someone with a kind heart interpret for the rest of us, abeg?
