The time has come for the Professional Guilds of Nollywood to take a unified and decisive action to stop the proliferation of Award Events that exploit the industry and do not add value to the Practitioner/Recipient.
From Nigeria to the United Kingdom, to the United States of America, Nollywood Wannabes and Smart-ass business men have jumped on the band wagon train of exploiting inaction of the Guilds and the ignorant crave for publicity of Practitioners to exploit Nollywood for the quick buck forming a different Cabal of Piracy.

For the festival which is in its fourth year, the success story is unprecedented, even as organisers say the best is yet to come.

Since its first edition in 2010, AFRIFF provided free training and talent development opportunities for young people and aspiring filmmakers.
Interestingly, another aspect of this year’s edition which has swelled traffic on the festival’s website is the hands on training and workshop on scriptwriting, cinematography, acting and directing for aspiring filmmakers in Africa.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of AFRIFF, Chioma Ude, noted that from this workshop, AFRIFF is planning to take 10 students to a prestigious university in the United States of America for further training in various aspects of filmmaking.

She explained that through this initiative and several others, the festival plans to change the economic horizon of the African film industry.

“We believe we can use this model for a social revolution that will change the economic horizon of the African film industry, by providing technical knowledge and skill to enhance the abundant talents in our film community,” she said.

This time, beneficiaries of the training will be expected to shoot a short film after their course abroad, in fulfilment of their training billed to be entered into the festival’s students’ short category for the subsequent AFRIFF in 2015.

According to the festival guidelines, registration for the workshops which opened at the new AFRIFF website, www.afriff.com on September 15, will close on October 17, while general registration will end on October 31.

AFRIFF 2014 is scheduled to take place at the popular Tinapa Business and Leisure Resort, Calabar, Cross River State from November 9 to 16.

The miracle of body magic and wonder bra - by Etcetera

Article written by singer turned writer, Etcetera. Enjoy...
Those women who wear simple and proper undergarments, this article is not about you. It is for those women who are confused and concerned and are leaning toward spending their hard-earned money on a magic garment that is being peddled as if it can solve all that ail them, only to be sorely disappointed.
Every eight seconds, a woman looks in the mirror and wants to be smaller. I have a huge problem with this type of women.
Whenever I meet people who pretend to be what they are not, it gets under my skin. When you present yourself as something, you’re asking me to trust you are exactly what you say you are. Why would you then abuse the trust you asked for with the goal of winning my heart? That is not fair. A friend of mine introduced me to a very hot chic at a bar in Ikeja and after hours of hanging out and getting to know each other, she followed me home. All I could think about was what she’d look like under all those tight clothes, but when she finally grunted her way out of those really tight jeans and her body began to spread in all directions, I suddenly had a headache and didn’t feel so well and I gave her cab fare home.

Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder, sometimes a beer holder… this has caused the concept of beauty to get a little bit misconstrued. It is for this reason that “Belicious & Fabulous by Buka Kpanja Isokariari”-- the newest and trendiest upscale fashion store had to hit the streets— offering something that is far beyond skin deep; style
