MERCY JOHNSON REACTS TO BAN

The news about Mercy Johnson being banned by Nollywood Movie Marketers for charging exorbitant acting fees (between N1.7m and N2m) made many headlines today and of course I'm talking about blogsphere. Can remember vividly, this same banning issue happened to Omotola Jalade, Ramsey Nouah, Genevieve and the likes about 7/8 years ago.

The busy actress has however reacted to the news. Her opinion which was aired on her twitter page is quite hilarious but one could tell she was so serious and (maybe) could not be bothered. Read her tweets above.

But seriously, it won't be funny to see MJ disappear in Nollywood movies. I'm sure there are better ways of resolving this.

NEITHER MESSI NOR RONALDO CAN MATCH MY RECORD- ITALIAN LEGEND

You know this statement can only come from a legend. Any other (young) footballer who tries this will face the wrath of football pundits. Retired Italian footballer, Filippo Inzaghi while speaking with sport Journalists has claimed that no one, not even world best footballers, C Ronaldo or Lionel Messi can match his goalscoring record in cup finals.

The 40-year-old who retired last year July after spending 21-years in the world of the round leather isn't babbling, he has some facts to back his claim up. ""Five goals in three finals, which were three of the most important finals and we won all of them. Not even Messi or Ronaldo will achieve that. It's a record I will hang on to." He asserted.

Inzaghi netted eight goals in the finals throughout his career at Juventus and the Rossoneri. He now trains young footballers at AC Milan, he also wants to retire there. "Carlo Ancelotti was uncertain whether or not to play me or Alberto Gilardino in the Athens final, but I played and scored twice, then I scored in the Super Cup final win over Sevilla and another two against Boca Juniors." He recalled.

LIZ ANJORIN ON WHY SHE CHANGED HER RELIGION

Light-skinned Yoruba actress, Liz Anjorin who recently changed her religion (from Christianity to Islam) has opened up on the matter. Liz who now prefers to be addressed as Alhaja Aishat Anjorin told City People that it all happened in a miraculous way.

"Not that I woke up yesterday and decided to change my religion. By birth, I was half Muslim and half Christian. My father was Christian while my mum was Muslim. Growing up I went to church because of my father.

I didn't have a choice at the time but I have always had interest in Islam so immediately my father died I switched over to my mum's religion. It is a religion I love so much. Also Aisha is now my official name though Liz is still my name and I will continue to use the name to do movies."

HAS GEORGINA ONUOHA REALLY DUMPED ACTING?

I can't remember the last time I saw her in movies but it's really been long. I miss the trio of Georgina Onuoha, Victoria Inyama and Regina Askia who took a break from acting after they got married. They were more popular in the late 90s/early 20s and played interesting roles in movies.

The news making rounds is that Georgina who relocated to the US shortly after giving birth in 2007 has bade acting goodbye. The light-skinned actress is now (reportedly) a Health Information Specialist at the North American Healthcare Inc. But does this mean she won't be handling scripts no more? Miss her 🙂

MEET KIDAFFA UMARU MAINA, NIGERIA'S YOUNGEST PILOT

For the past few months, LVB has been featuring young, outstanding Nigerians who are not only hoisting the country’s flag but serving as an inspiration to many young people out there. Remember Zuriel Oduwole, Saheela Ibraheem, today our spotlight beams on 19 year-old Kidaffa Umaru Maina, the youngest pilot in Nigeria.

Interestingly, Kidaffa who hails from Borno State got his private pilot licence on 2 May 2012 at the age of 17. The first in a family of 3, he had his primary education at Carebears Nursery/Primary School Maiduguri, Borno and then attended King’s College Lagos for his secondary school programme.

After graduation, he got admission to Aptrac Aviation, Port Elizabeth, South Africa that same year, started his course in October 2011 and had his first solo flight on the 29th February 2012. He completed his commercial ground school exams in November 2012 and continued with the flying program. He passed his oral exam and flight test on 18 September 2013; 10days to his 19th birthday.

On his choice of career, Kidaffa mentioned that he had always had passion for flying right from his primary school days. The genius who is licenced on a multi engine aircraft and hopes to be a Captain on a Boeing 787 is currently in Nigeria processing his licence conversion after which he will be eligible to fly the Nigerian airspace.

He mentioned that the journey wasn’t rosy for him as finance posed a big problem, “One of my challenges was funding. My parents suffered a lot to raise the money for my fees. Secondly my age, most of my coursemates were like 10years older than me and we had to face the same task.” He added.
