Nigerian Rapper MI against Rick Ross' 'Hold Me Back' video shot in Nigeria

  















Nigerian Rapper MI has poured out his anger, and also opened the eyes and minds of Nigerians about the Rick Ross' Nigerian shot video 'Hold me back'. Below is what he posted on his website.
Does it make you angry? Does it rile you to see your country portrayed as poor and suffering and full of struggle?
It burns you, does it not? To have some foreigner- who knows nothing of your history and pain, of the stories that flow within your blood- to have this foreigner come in and tell your story?
Is it not the height of disrespect and insensitivity? Does it not chafe against the thick skin you have grown to cover your other wounds?

COURT SENDS NOLLYWOOD ACTOR TO JAIL FOR HOMOSEXUALITY OFFENCE

                             
A judge of the Karu Senior Magistrates’ Court in Abuja, Nafisatu Buba has sent upcoming Nollywood actor, Bestwood Chukwuemeka to three months imprisonment for pleading guilty to homosexuality offence.
The 28-year-old who was tried on Monday, September 17, 2012 at the court, confessed to have engaged in the act but claimed to have been under the influence of alcohol. He however begged that the court be merciful on him, ‘I am guilty of the charge against me. I was under the influence of alcohol and I want the court to temper justice with mercy’, he said. The presiding judge however, would not give in to such excuse as she slammed him with a three months jail term without an option of fine, adding that it will serve as a lesson to other youth ‘who hide under the influence of alcohol to commit crimes’.
Meanwhile, the actor when previously arraigned, had pleaded not guilty, saying, ‘I came back drunk from the night club and thought I was sleeping on the same bed with my girl-friend and I started romancing her’ which got him a bail in the sum of N200,000 and two sureties, but when he pleaded guilty on the second trial, he was summarily tried and sentenced.
It will be recalled that Nollywood comic act, John Okafor, otherwise known as Mr Ibuin a recent interview, mentioned homosexuality as a factor limiting the growth of the movie industry.
Homosexuality, according to the Same Sex Marriage prohibition bill passed in 2011, prescribes 14 years jail term for whoever enters into a same sex marriage contract and a 10 year jail term for whoever registers, operates a gay organisation or makes a public display of same sex amorous relationship.

Why I sent Stephanie Packing' - Rev Chris Okotie speaks......

                              
Since ending his four year marriage to Stephanie Henshaw in June this year, Pastor Chris Okotie has never really opened up about what led to his decision to end his marriage. There has been a lot of speculations in the media and he finally decided to react to some of it. He gave an exclusive interview to City People magazine through a minister in his church, Rev Grace Funmi Paul, a member of House Hold of God for the past 25 years. It's a long interview but I'm just going to pick some parts I think might interest you all. See it below...
Rev Grace Paul: A blind person knows that my pastor loved his wife, Stephanie, passionately. This year before the separation, he had taken her out of the country at least three times to different places like Dubai, US and so on. He loved her, so did the congregation but the bible says that two cannot walk together except they agree. In the establishment of the kingdom of God, the rules change because the rules are made by God and not by man. So, it didn't have to do with what pastor wanted to do, because left to him, his love will keep him struggling and going at it but if God gives him instruction he has to follow it through.
