FUNAM, Oduduwa, IPOB, others, championing Nigeria’s breakup

  So, I will call on the government and its agencies saddled with intelligence and security to look more closely into the activities of the groups, including the Fulani Nationalist Movement. Failure to do so will obviously be catastrophic. We must nip the growing agitations in the bud and control the upsurge in ethnic based groups that may with time become ethnic militia groups, he said. The attack on the convoy of Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has continued to generate discussions, reactions and anger in some quarters, with accusing fingers being pointed and denials being made by those so accused. It is understandable that such a brazen attempt will solicit different reactions, especially anger propelled by fear, with many Nigerians believing that if a sitting governor, with a retinue of security details could narrowly escape being killed in broad daylight, no one then is safe in the country. However, a Fulani group, hitherto unknown, the Fulani Nationality M...

Goggle box sparks Ofcom complaints after cast watched Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah

  Goggle box viewers have complained to Ofcom after a series of remarks were made on the programme. Some fans tuning in to the Channel 4 show last Friday (March 12) were left offended by what the cast had to say about Meghan and Harry's bombshell interview with Oprah. The episode was eagerly awaited by fans following the dramatic aftermath of the interview, which saw Piers Morgan quitting as Good Morning Britain presenter following a row over the Duchess of Sussex's claims. But some of the Gogglebox cast may have stepped too far, Ofcom received 51 complaints regarding the remarks by those on the show. It's not clear which of the cast caused offence, but they weren't shy in sharing their opinions of the explosive interview. Sophie Sandiford from Blackpool commented on claims by Prince Harry that senior royals suggested Meghan should start acting again to cover their lost security costs. She joked: "Stick her in the gift shop while you're at it. You ...

Eddie Murphy Quit Acting For Six Years

  Once some actors find their breakthrough role, it can take a couple of years for their careers to catch up. That is the case because they may be committed to small roles in several projects by the time they become a star. On top of that, it can take a while for the powers that be in Hollywood to pick up on the next big thing and give them the kind of roles they deserve. When it comes to Eddie Murphy, once his incredible Saturday Night Live tenure made him famous, he seemed to be among the busiest people in Hollywood overnight. After all, from 1980 until 1984, Murphy starred in Saturday Night Live , headlined four films, and released Eddie Murphy: Delirious .    Throughout t...

NIGERIA BITCOIN : Central Bank of Nigeria Official Reiterates Nigerian Residents Free to Trade Cryptos: Directive Only Applies to Banking Sector

  A senior executive with Nigeria’s central bank, Adamu Lamtek, has reportedly denied that his institution had placed restrictions on the use of cryptocurrencies. Instead, Lamtek, who is the deputy governor responsible for corporates services at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), says his organisation’s directive only applies to the banking sector. Prohibition Only Applies to Banks The remarks by Lamtek, who spoke on behalf of the CBN governor Godwin Emefiele, follow the central bank’s February 5, 2021, directive which prohibited banks from facilitating crypto-related transactions. Immediately following the announcement, financial institutions began to comply with the directive. Since then volumes on centralized crypto exchanges have plunged while reports suggest that volumes on peer to peer platforms are on the rise.   In the meantime, before the latest communication from the CBN, rumours circulated that authorities would soon clampdown on peer to peer trading ...

Entertainment, Eddie Murphy made a ton of money making movies he didn’t like

  ‘Coming 2 America’ Star Eddie Murphy Said His Highest-Paying Movies Were the Least Fun To Make Eddie Murphy is one of the most successful comedians to ever step foot on a stage. The former Saturday Night Live star made a name for himself doing standup and sketch comedy but quickly transitioned into acting in big-screen roles. Movies such as Beverly Hills Cop and Coming to America proved that Murphy was a bankable star, and he amassed a fortune of $200 million by starring in major Hollywood films that paid him handsomely. However, as Murphy’s bank account steadily grew with each movie he filmed, his happiness decreased. Murphy recently acknowledged that although he was getting paid millions of dollars for each role, he was no longer receiving any joy from the movies he made and had to take a step back from the business.    Murphy opened up about his experiences as a Hollywood superstar during a recent interview with Drew Barrymore.  “I had it all the way ...
