NOLLYWOOD VILLAGE TO MARK 20TH ANNIVERSARY
President, Association of Movie Producers, Zik Okafor while speaking to some select journalists on Tuesday, 16th July, 2013 revealed that plans to build a befitting film village for the Nigerian Movie Industry are underway.
The construction of the Nollywood village is part of the activities slated to mark the industry's 2 decades of existence. The location of the village would be announced during the anniversary.
"We want to set up the Nollywood house, build a magnificent edifice with the inscription `Nollywood' on it as they have in other climes, so that when anybody comes to Nigeria, there is a place they can go and say this is Nollywood village and can get what they want in one place."
"We have been operating from our homes, so we should have a base where we can be located, we want a place that can contain television actors, different guild associations, creative designers and so many others in the same environment.
He also disclosed that a Nollywood Foundation will also be set up. "We can't keep on running to government for everything, even when the older ones are sick or any one of us; we have to do a lot by ourselves, but if help comes, no problem. The foundation will still be in the same village, so that coordination would be easier."

Ailing Barcelona coach,Tito Vilanova has resigned as coach of the spanish club.
The announcement was made during a press conference at Camp Nou this evening.
"After looking at routine tests, there is now an option to continue treating his disease which means it will be impossible for him to continue as first-team coach of FC Barcelona. I want to ask for the maximum respect for him and his family.
"We have got together with all of the players and the coaching staff and we have decided not to play tomorrow in Poland [in a friendly against Lechia Gdansk]. It is a very big blow, a huge blow. But Barcelona has overcome many obstacles in its history and this will be no exception." Barcelona Club President, Sandro Rosell told reporters.
The 44 year-old coach took medical break on two occasions while at the club. The first was in 2011/2012 while he was Pep Guardiola's assistant and the second last season. During his short tenure at the club, he led Barca to the 2013 Spanish league title.
Get well soon Tito Vilanova! Wish him speedy recovery and perfect health.

BROKEN MARRIAGE: FUNKE AKINDELE CLEARS THE AIR
Her own side of the story has finally surfaced. When the news of her failed marriage seeped into public space via her husband's facebook posts few days ago, not a few were shocked. And many,
inspite of the overwhelming evidence (husband's posts) deemed it a lie particularly because no word came from her.
Apparently pressurised from different quarters, the popular actress broke her silence on the issue yesterday. In an SMS message she sent to a Nation newspaper writer, the Vitafoam ambassador wrote,
"My marriage is intact. I read in the newspaper yesterday that I am divorced. What proof do you have? And I am taking this to court because my marriage is intact. You guys are rumour mongers. Funke Akindele Oloyede."
