These are behind the scene photos of star-studded movie, Heaven's Hell.

SYNOPSIS

Heaven's Hell is the true story of a Nigerian woman who stabbed her husband multiple times to death after, her claims, of many years of domestic violence; and that is only the tip of the iceberg!

As the movie shoot enters its third week, Katung Aduwak- the brain and force behind the movie- feels a responsibility to share this story. With an impressive ensemble of some of Africa's best actors (roll call: Bimbo Akintola, OC Ukeje, Nse Ikpe Etim, Damilola Adegbite, Gideon Okeke, Linda Ejiofor, and South Africa based actor, Fabian Lojede of the series- Jacob's Cross), and an international production team led by Jeffery Smith who has worked with stars like Rihanna, Fergie, Al Pacino, Michelle Pfeiffer and handled productions of mega TV success like American Idol, Heaven's Hell is set to raise the bar.

Heaven's Hell the true story of domestic violence and terror will capture one of the most shocking incidents of family pain and tragedy. "The aim is to use the movie to enlighten Africa- as it seems domestic violence is still handled with kid gloves in this part of the world. Ultimately I want Heaven's Hell to liberate people. I want it to inspire someone to get out of a bad relationship…whatever it can accomplish to make the world a saner place," Katung explains

Such a lengthy ban! I'm sure no one was really expecting it. Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has been banned for 10 games by the Football Association for biting Chelsea defender, Branislav Ivanovic during a match between his Liverpool club and Chelsea on Sunday.

The 26-year-old who later apologised for the shameful act has until midday on Friday 26 April to appeal against the suspension.

But sadly, it's not the first time he would be charged with such an offence. In Nov 2010 at Ajax, he was banned for seven games after biting PSV Eindhoven midfielder Otman Bakkal's shoulder.

At Liverpool, the Uruguay international who's shortlisted for the Professional Footballers' Association player of the year award was banned for 8 matches and fined for £40,000.

31 year-old Uganda-born Ashish Thakkar is unarguably one of the leading IT figures in Africa. His business odyssey started when he was 15, he took a $6,000 loan to set up a local office and was into the sales of computer parts.

Recently interviewed on CNN, the 31 year-old whose Mara Group is one of the largest information technology companies in Africa is also into real estate, tourism, manufacturing, etc. He also talked about other businesses.

"Today, we're in 24 countries, of which 19 are in African countries. We have about 7,000 employees in Africa. We're in IT services. It's the same IT company I started a few years ago and we merged it a few years ago. It's been labeled as Africa's largest IT company but I don't know how true it is. We've got an IT company.

We've got a call center business across Africa. We've got a telecom infrastructure company. We've got a corrugated packaging business in East and Central Africa. We're building a paper mill in East Africa. We've got an agricultural project. We're building an Intercontinental hotel, convention center, shopping mall and office park in Uganda. We're building two hotels, shopping mall, office park and hospital in Tanzania.

He continued, "We're pretty active on the real estate side. We're building a glass manufacturing company in Nigeria. For agriculture, we've secured a large piece of land, about 26,000 acres in East Africa. We're looking at potentially going into the power generation industry as well."

Comedienne Princess Damilola Adekoya and her partner, Ade had their court marriage at the Federal Marriage Registry, Ikoyi, Lagos today. The traditional wedding will hold on May 8.

Congrats to them
