NEYMAR'S WISH FOR CONFEDERATIONS CUP FINAL

You ask, what other thing can he wish for asides victory for his club. You're right but he wants the victory to be delivered through him. The Brazilian footballer has a great admiration for Spanish goal-keeper, Iker Casillas and he would be honoured if he scores against him in the Confederations Cup final.

"Casillas is one of the greatest keepers in the world – now and always. I have huge respect and admiration for him. Everyone would love to have him in their side, but on Sunday I hope to have the honour of scoring against him". He revealed.

The 2011/2012 South American Footballer of the Year award recipient continued, "It's going to be a great game. Everyone is really looking forward to it. It's a clash between two historic national sides, two teams with a lot of tradition. Spain with their star players and Brazil, with their stars. I hope that it's a match which everyone enjoys and that Brazil end as the winners.

The ex-Santos forward who scored about 3 goals in the ongoing tournament and provided the two assists, that gave Brazil a 2-1 win over Uruguay in the semi-final has joined reigning laLiga Champions, Barcelona.

Relax Neymar, if you don't toss the net in this tournament, you can do it in LaLiga.

MARIJUANA PICTURES: TONTO DIKEH CLEARS THE AIR

Few days ago, some alleged marijuana pictures believed to be posted on actress, Tonto Dikeh's instagram generated a lot of controversy in the social media. Infact, an NDLEA agent who got wind of the issue said she might face 15-year prison sentence if found in possession of the narcotics. The Rivers-State born thespian has however cleared the air, insisting they were all made up.

"As much as I would like to ignore the current issue on hemp, I think I owe well-meaning people some clarification. It is so easy the misconception that can come from a picture- the genius of technology.

If you cannot find me holding a wrap of marijuana then you may want to slow down on your assumptions. We shouldn't use our platforms to spread half-truths

A fan wrote those words with herbs on my birthday on instagram, and I replied: "Thank you #teampoko". Now, how does someone else's action become my crime?

If I said those words ('Mi smoke ganja, mi smoke weed, while my hatez smoke ma gossip' ) I will stand by them, but I didn't, and just because it is convenient for people to believe the lies, still doesn't make it the truth.

The whole thing is falsified by people who just love to have fun at other's expense. Let's put some thought to some of the things we write. Don't do cut-and-paste. The original pictures are there to see; but no! That is too boring to be the truth.

We want the truth to be nasty and spicy for our enjoyment, even if it is a pack of lies. Visit my instagram page and see if the original picture is the same as the ones being circulated.

FUNNY BUT ANNOYING ISSUES ABOUT NIGERIAN MOVIES

The Nigerian movie industry has witnessed a tremendous growth
over the years. We now have super fantastic crop of actors parading our
screens, exceptional movies with social messages are being churned out and no
doubt, Nollywood is one of Nigeria’s greatest exports. However, inspite of this
impressive development, there have been certain let downs which, with each passing
day are becoming difficult to ignore.  So, let’s highlight some of those annoying
issues that are being shoved in our faces in Nigerian films. Candidly, the
Yoruba section of the Nigerian movie industry is the major culprit here.

(1) Fetishism– This is the biggest snag of the industry. 7 out of
10 of Nigerian movies are laced with fetish or witchcraft scenes. Infact, we
are now convinced that visiting a native doctor would solve a problem quicker
and better than seeking medical help.

(2) Subtitles– How best to ease off stress than watching a poorly
subtitled Nigerian movie? Whoever told their writers all sentences have to be
translated literally need several smacks in the butts. For example, a woman who
is angry with her son might reply his greeting thus, “Ti n ba kaaro
nko” meaning, what’s good about the morning? Or please don’t greet me. My
people would “upload”, “what if I don’t good morning?” What
the hell is that?

(3) Shooting- A man would be stabbed several times and his
singlet would be as white as snow. Guys, we don’t mind tastytime or zobo? Then, in yoruba movies, it takes 24 hours or maximum of 48 days for a deep wound to heal. 

(4) Car and Passerby– In most street scenes, there’s always this fine or ugly lady
waiting for a cab at the road side. And a young, handsome man who never knows
his way around pulls over, asks for direction, zooms off a bit, reverses and
offers to give her a lift. She turns down the offer at first and after persuasion,
she enters the car, they exchange numbers, the rest is history. Meanwhile, ever
since i started giving out directions, I have never been offered a lift, infact
they just zoom off before I finish talking. Maybe i should try harder.lol

(5) Running in the street– has anyone noticed? There’s always a car
waiting somewhere for every child or adult running on the street. He or she has
to be hit by a vehicle. Yesoo, abi what’s the purpose of the running? And of course
he has to hug the bonnet, slide and die.

(6) Makeup– What will it cost to employ professional makeup
artists for their movie projects? The makeup on some actresses, (Yoruba
actresses especially) can make you puke. Purple lipstick, silver eye shadow and
then a straight-lined brow. It is always an eyesore Sigh!
(7) Bland sound track- I’m sure you have something to say on this.  And you’ll agree with me that instrumentals
are better used than those bland/wacky soundtracks they make us listen to. Soundtracks
that tell the entire story are the most annoying. And then they start singing
like strangled cats. Oh please!
(8) Poison– Please help an ignorant lady here. Do they really sell poison
in chemist’s shops? I mean the one in liquid form, with POISON boldly written
across the bottle? Dear filmmakers, once you bring out a bottle, cry, down the
contents and then writhe in pains, leave the rest to us. It’s pointless writing
POISON on bottles. We can think!
(9) Date/romantic scenes: Some date scenes discourage you from going into a
relationship. In fairness, some are brilliantly shot. If they are not hugging
pillow up and down, they run round a certain palm tree till one of them decides
to fall down. Please stop that!  There was one I saw, I actually forced
myself to forget the title. The couple visited an eatery, bought ONE bottle of
Maltina drink and ONE piece of chicken and then shared it between them.
Taaaar!!! If you will take out of your lover’s food, you should at least have
one plate to yourself.


(10) Diagnosis/Hospital Scene– Their Doctors be like, “your son
has been diagnosed of cancer, we need to get some Panadol extra and Vitamin C
which cost N100, 000. You have to deposit N50, 000 before we commence
treatment”.  And then the person playing
the role of the Doctor turns out to be, a go-to actor for crime roles. Sigh!

OJB JEZREEL SPEAKS ON HIS HEALTH CONDITION

The #SaveOJB campaign is still on and Nigerians home or abroad are still enjoined to send in their widow's mite for prolific musician, OJB Jezreel's N16 million kidney transplant operation in India.

The Encomium magazine team had an interview with the ailing singer on Monday 24th June, 2013. These are excerpts.

"When early diagnosis was done, it was just a case of renal failure. Right now, my two kidneys are gone. We are running dialysis at the moment. It started two years ago, but gradually depreciated.

"Most people tend to attribute kidney problem to drinking and smoking. I was told it doesn't have anything to do with that, because as much as I drink and smoke then, it was casual drinking. Maybe they offer you a bottle of drink and all that but not like I drink 15 bottles a day. I have a friend who has gone through this and he never drank or smoked.

"The whole process of the treatment from pre-process, transplanting process and post-transplanting will cost about $100, 000. In two years, I have spent up to five million Naira which I have been trying to maintain myself. That is why it has been kept secret.

"God willing, I have like eight to ten weeks more to get the transplant done. It's strange, I still walk around a little. I can't eat much though. I trust God and Nigerians for their financial support"
