Skuki splashes millions on Peeshaun condoms, set to partner with UNICEF

Singing brothers, Peeshaun and Vavavooom, popularly known as Skuki will be spending millions of naira on their Peeshaun condom, which is currently undergoing full registration process. The condoms will be officially launched before the end of the year and I hear UNICEF has shown interest in partnering with the brothers on the project. The condoms will be produced by a company in China.

MI, Modenine In Trouble As DKN Challenges Duo

The game of rap in Nigeria, though not grown like that of the hip hop genre of music, is emerging. While many rappers in Nigeria struggle to get fame, only few others have achieved that.

Even for the few famous rappers in Nigeria, they still want to remain relevant so that they won't be challenged out of the game. Ice Prince seems to be the only most successful commercial rapper in Nigeria at the moment.

While no well-known rapper remains in the hard-core section of rap like Modenine, commercial rap music seems to be the escape route in making rap like dancehall music in Nigeria.

For Black Palace Music artiste known as DKN, he has what it takes to challenge and even surpass Modenine, MI and other top rappers in Nigeria.

At his unveiling in Lagos recently, the rapper, who is a son of a police officer, gave out a stern warning to MI, Modenine and other Nigerian rappers.

He said, "I'm out to challenge them (MI, Modenine and others). They are in trouble, I am the king of rap whether they like it or not. I want to tell them how rap is done."

To DKN, he has all what it takes to challenge other rappers in the industry. He said if he wasn't doing rap, he would have been a footballer but he just wants to do rap to make Nigerians know what rap is in its entirety.

Nigerian filmmaker curses Uganda

The empty auditorium at The Hub

Nigerian filmmaker Kingsley Paul Ukaegbu is a bitter man after the premiere of his latest movie, See Through Me, all but flopped.

During Thursday night's premiere at The Hub cinema in Kampala, Ukaegbu was left cursing his gods as the highly- hyped film pulled less than 100 people.

"What sort of country is this where people cannot pay Shs 50,000 to attend a movie premiere?" Ukaegbu lamented as he stared at the empty auditorium. "I have never seen anything like this in my entire 20-year career. This is shameful to Uganda."

Ukaegbu, who now says he will never return to the pearl of Africa, expected to bank on the hot-cake Ugandan mood for Nigerian movies, only that he ignored precedent. This was the second time the experienced filmmaker burnt his fingers here. In January, he got a small audience as he premiered his first collaborative film with Ugandans, Shadows of Fate.

Themed on prostitution, the movie failed to impress Ugandans. He was, however, lauded by female activists for addressing the plight of African women. As a result, Ukaegbu promised to make his next project better. And true to his word, he worked on See Through Me - employing almost the same cast but shooting with the more superior Red Epic camera on a hefty budget of $50,000 (about Shs 130m).

All odds seemed to favour him. He had flown in Nollywood diva Yvonne Jegede to join her colleague Clem Ohameze in the lead roles. The Ugandan team in the film included Herbert Dembe, Ruth Nalubiri and Halima Namakula.

Ukaegbu had even predicted the movie would take Africa by storm. However, as the premiere date neared, Ukaegbu started complaining that he had been let down by some cast members who abandoned the movie due to poor pay - as the filmmaker failed to attract any sponsorship. It is as if movie fans saw through Ukaegbu: the seats were empty.

Scheduled to start at 5:30pm, the premiere was still waiting for the first guest by 7pm, when a few fans started arriving. A distressed Ukaegbu was seen making frantic calls and pondering on what to do next.

"I will never hold another premiere in Uganda. I will be taking my films back to Nigeria where people understand the value of cinema," Ukaegbu declared.

The showy Nigerian, who has largely had a turbulent relationship with the local film fraternity, then turned his guns on Ugandan media.

"There is a lot of mediocrity here. You people don't take film criticism seriously," he fumed before turning down pleas from his cast to join them for a photo shoot, saying he was in no mood to smile for the cameras.

He then lashed out at companies that refused to sponsor his film. Human Rights Network (HURINET)-Uganda, Jomayi, Select Garments and Hotel Africana were among the few organizations that gave him logistical endorsement.

Even upcoming artiste Captain Dolla looked bored entertaining empty chairs with his Emmese hit, shortly before the film hit the screen at about 8:30pm. But See Through Me is no ordinary film.

It tells an emotional story of an orphaned teenage girl, Maggie (Jegede), who is forced to marry an elderly and violent man (Ohameze) after he had raped and impregnated her. The abusive marriage forced her onto the street where she ended up a prostitute.

Ukaegbu's only consolation was that the Nigerian community, which made up the bigger part of the small audience, bought a few DVDs at very high prices. Over Shs 15m was made in the auction.

mikel obi cries out "its so difficult to find a wife"

On his marriage dilemma, the Chelsea midfielder told sports journalist, Kayode Tijani that finding a wife is so so difficult that he's leaving it to God. Mikel said:

I know, normal people don’t go through what I am going through now when it concerns finding a Wife to marry, normal people don’t at all. Believe me it’s so so difficult, very difficult, it’s so so difficult you just have to leave it to God. To find someone who truly loves you, there might be someone who really loves me truly for who I am but I may not be aware but maybe you don’t know but you may think she’s one of them people that loves you for who you are or what you have, because of your money, but maybe she’s there for you, you never know, you get so confused, now I have decided I will just leave it to God to decide who I get married to.

Charlyboy: My Oga at the top; stop the rubbish

Charly Boy has finally weighed in on 'My Oga At The Top' saga. See it below...

It’s unfortunate, this article is coming in late. This is because I almost ignored the racket “ My Oga at the top” generated. However, because of some salient lessons in the whole joke, I have decided to hit you with this.

Even though, my ways may be very different from yours, I still believe we must be objective in our analysis, judgment, and conclusion about others. The NSCDC Commandant,  Mr. Shem’s experience in the hands of Nigerians and the Channel TV personalities cannot be too different from what many of us face on a daily bases.
