Half of a Yellow Sun opens in New York

The most anticipated film in Nigeria, Half of a Yellow Sun, an adaptation of Chimamanda Adiche’s bestselling and award winning novel is presently screening at the New York African Film Festival and opens on Friday, 16th of May in New York and Friday 23rd of May in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, a major character in the movie, Anika Rose Noni who played the character of  Kainene said in a recent interview that she was excited playing the role of an Igbo woman.
Speaking on the partial ban in Nigeria she said “I say it’s disappointing. You can’t hide history. We want to see history and share history and talk about history so that you don’t get caught in the cycle of repetition because we are human and it is our tendency to repeat. We are at times wonderful, giving and kind and then at other times,we are atrocious and awful and inhumane. Those are the things we don’t want to repeat”.
Anika is a Grammy award winner and an American singer cum actress. She starred in “Dream Girls”, “The Princess and The Frog”. She is presently nominated for a Tony award.
The cast of the film directed by UK-based Nigerian playwright Biyi Bandele and produced by winner of an OSCAR and three BAFTAs, Andrea Calderwood and Yewande Sadiku include Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Onyeka Onwenu, Genevieve Nnaji, OC Ukeje, Anika Noni Rose, Joseph Mawle, John Boyega, Wale Ojo, Tina Mba, Zack Orji and Hakeem Kae-Kazim.

Former NAFDAC Boss Dora Akunyili’s Health Worsens, To Be Urgently Flown To India

Dora Akunyili, A Former Director-General Of The National Agency For Food And Drug Administration And Control And Ex-Minister Of Information Was To Be Flown Abroad For Medical Treatment On Saturday.

Akunyili, a delegate at the ongoing National Conference had said she was recovering from a life-threatening ailment.But around 9p.m on Saturday night 10th May 2014, sources say that Akunyili’s condition had deteriorated and any further delay in getting medical attention would have been detrimental.A family source revealed that the the former director-general of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has fallen seriously ill again after returning from a trip to France. “We would rather this was not reported at all because these are trying times for us, but because she is a public figure it would be very difficult to keep it out of the media,” the source said.
Many were surprised when Akunnyili made an appearance at the confab looking frail. Responding to comments about her health, she said,“My attention has been drawn to a story making the rounds online claiming that I am seriously sick, currently out of the country and in need of urgent prayers.
“This story is baseless, unfounded and the handiwork of mischief makers. It should be ignored and discarded in its entirety. As every informed Nigerian knows, I am a delegate to the National Conference currently holding in Abuja.
“While it is true that I recently came out of a major sickness, for which I thank Almighty God for delivering me, I have since been declared fit by my doctors and returned to my normal activities. I shed much weight in the course of the sickness — which is normal — but I am well now and only need time to re-grow some flesh. There is nothing to worry about either my health or my present stature.”
The nature of her ailment has still not been made public, but unconfirmed reports say it is cervical cancer. We wish her a quick recovery.

NEEDLEKRAFT SET TO REDEFINE FASHION @ THE 2014 NEEDLEKRAFT FASHION SHOW & AWARDS


Come SUNDAY 15th JUNE 2014, at the CIVIC CENTER, VICTORIA ISLAND, LAGOS,
the world will stand still as it witnesses the biggest and loudest Fashion
Show in Nigeria. It is the 2014 Needlekraft Fashion Show & Awards.

Fashion and Entertainment lovers will not forget in a hurry how the
previous edition of the Fashion Show revolutionised the fashion industry
and brought another dimension to event hosting and management.

The past event which took place at the prestigious Balmoral Hall Ikeja had
the crčme de la crčme of the society in attendance with the duo compere of
Uti Nwachukwu of the Big Brother fame and Ashionye of Tinsel bringing
their prolific emcee experience to bear.

Some of the notable faces in attendance were Hajia Abba Folawiyo, Chief
Mrs Opral Benson MON, Dr Ausbeth Ajagu MFR, Dr Austin Izagbo, Capt Chris
Najomo, Emeka Ossai, DJ Jimmy Jatt, Patrick Doyle, Zaky Aze, Oge Okoye,
Benita Nzeribe, Benjamin Joseph and others.

Comedy was provided by Okey Bakassi and Mandy.

First Lady of Mavin Records Tiwa Savage and Late Goldie Harvey set the
roof on fire with their hit tracks and off course Jhybo, KSB and other
musicians did their thing.

But the highpoint of the event was the Celebrity Runway segment where some
Nollywood and Entertainment stars showed the other side of their skills
when they hit the runway for the most audacious catwalks ever witnessed in
the history of fashion shows. The stars that featured on the runway were
Monalisa Chinda, Tiwa Savage, Late Goldie Harvey, Yinka Davies, Yvonne,
Susan Peters, Ashionye, Lilian Amah and others.

Also not left out on the runway beat were the Local & International models
that were cynosure of all eyes as they strutted the runway in an
unbelievably breath-taking gait and poise to the utter admiration of all
present.

The coming edition, according to the organiser Tese Onokala CEO
Needlekraft Group, is designed to surpass the feat of previous editions.
This informed the choice of a more spacious venue-the Civic Center to
accommodate the legion of Fashion, Nollywood and Entertainment stars that
will be in attendance.

The event, which will have the First Lady of Lagos State, Dame Abimbola
Fashola, as the Special Guest of honor will also seek to honor some
notable Fashion Industry players with ‘Fashion Icon Awards’ as well as
empower some less-privileged women graduates of Needlekraft Fashion School
with FREE Sewing Machines.
The event will still feature Musical performances from top Nigerian
artists, Comedy and Celebrity catwalks where notable stars like Monalisa
Chinda, Clarion Chukwura, Uti Nwachukwu, Alex Ekubo, Zack Orji and a host
of others will perform on the runway.
The profile and high class nature of this coming event has elicited huge
Corporate sponsorship interest with organisations like Zenith Bank Plc,
Arik Air, Mikano International, Intercontinental Distillers, Slot, Shalom
Court, Godrej and a host of other organisations coming on board to sponsor
the event.

MUSIC : AIMEE - SOLDIERS & ITS YOU I CHOOSE @AIMEEMUSICR

 Apart from her arrestingly poetic voice, Aimee has an intellectual base that can help her music.
Despite the peculiar nasty situation she went through while producing the album,
the songs generally come out interesting. One of the tracks, Oluwa mo mi,
 comes in a sober and expectant mood while Good Good inspirationally asks,
 “Is He good to you?” In Friend, in which she features Mix Master J, the artiste goes philosophical,
reasoning that a good friend is like the oil put in an engine and the sweater worn during cold season.
