Who is Nollywood fooling?

2am (I think). Friday 16 November 2007. Silverbird TV. Legends of Nollywood with Paul Obazele.
I worked through the night to get a demo of a website ready for the morning, the programme came on and I decided to invest 30 minutes into educating myself (yeah right!). Paul featured the director/producerof “Two Good Friends” featuring [...]


Fuji House of Commotion - For Sale

Its a Sunday, am at home. Watching TV. A favorite show comes, you guessed it, Fuji House of Commotion (last time I checked, the site was dead). Now in my honest opinion, this is one of the most successful shows on Nigerian TV.

How reliable are Nigerian Websites…

I took a stroll to my recharge card vendor to purchase a Multilinks 500 card to load on my phone so that I can connect to the Internet.

In the world’s 63rd Most Expensive city

In a study I read, it was noted that Lagos is the World’s 63rd Most Expensive City. How true! It took my mind back to an event that happened on September 15 2005.
