People didn't take me seriously when I was producing 'King Invincible – Femi Adisa 2:18:49 PM Tony By ANOZIE EGOLE The Nigerian movie industry is in for big things this year as popular director, Femi Adisa, has set the ball rolling, premièring his debut  movie as a producer titled, 'King Invincible.' 'King Invincible' is an epic film that tells the sprawling tale of love and war. The handsome warlord, Taari (Tope Tedela), is fast transforming into a wolf due to the dog curse that has been placed on him. He must immediately find the cure to the dog curse or be forever damned. The plot thickens when he discovers that the prince of the village, Adetiba (Gabriel Afolayan) will stop at nothing to prevent him from getting the cure he desperately needs. Meanwhile, princess Morenike (Omowunmi Dada) who is desperately in love with Taari, goes against her brother and goes beyond limits to get the cure for her betrothed. Speaking about the movie, the excited Femi said "I wrote this story in 2003 but I knew at that time, Nollywood was not ready to do a film with such special effects, stunts, set design et al. So I just kept it aside. During my NYSC in 2009, I touched the story up a little and started saving towards shooting the film later. In 2015, I felt I am ready to shoot the film then I contacted Paul Gaius who helped out. For a first timer, embarking on such a challenging project, many people did not take me seriously but I wanted the best guys in the industry and nothing less."   The post People didn't take me seriously when I was producing 'King Invincible – Femi Adisa appeared first on Vanguard News.

Red meat intake linked to common bowel condition 1:59:22 PM Tony By Sola Ogundipe A high dietary intake of red meat, particularly of the unprocessed variety, is linked to a heightened risk of developing the common inflammatory bowel condition, diverticulitis, reveals research published online in the journal  Gut. Diverticulitis occurs when the small pockets or bulges lining the intestine (diverticula) become inflamed. It is relatively common, accounting for thousands of hospital admissions every year. New cases of the condition are on the rise, particularly among younger people. And around 4 per cent of those affected will develop severe or long term complications, such as perforations in the gut wall, abscesses, and fistula (abnormal connections between two hollow spaces). Insufficient dietary fibre intake is also thought to have a role, but few other dietary factors have been explored in any detail. In a bid to rectify this, the research team assessed the potential impact of total dietary red meat, poultry, and fish intake on the risk of developing diverticulitis in nearly 46,500 men, taking part in the Health Professionals Follow up Study. During the 26 year monitoring period, some 764 men developed diverticulitis. Those who ate higher quantities of red meat tended to use common anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers more often; they smoked more; and they were less likely to exercise vigorously. Their fibre intake was also lower. Those who ate more poultry and fish were more likely to exercise vigorously, take aspirin, and to smoke less. Compared with the lowest levels of consumption, the highest level of red meat intake was associated with a 58 per cent heightened risk of developing diverticulitis, with each daily serving associated with an 18 v increased risk. However, risk peaked at six servings a week. The association was strongest for unprocessed red meat, and substituting one daily portion of this with fish or poultry was associated with a 20 v lowered risk. The research was only carried out in men, the findings may not be applicable to women. Nevertheless, the researchers conclude: "Our findings may provide practical dietary guidance for patients at risk of diverticulitis, a common disease of huge economic and clinical burden."

Serious fear has been expressed that Nigeria may not successfully extricate itself from the pains of the current economic crunch if the federal and state governments continue to practice politics of compensation. The Parish Priest of Saint Bridget's Catholic Church, Okwuohia, Obowo local council area of Imo State, Rev. Fr. Joseph Okafor, who made his feelings known while preaching the sermon during the dedication of the twins of Mr. and Mrs. Sebastian Ogwuegbu, also lashed political bigwigs in the state for "keeping quiet in the face of mounting irregularities in our dear state". "What we have in Nigeria is politics of compensation. The ability of political appointees to perform optimally in any office does not worry anybody. Imo State is today in a mess because all the bigwigs have been silenced by the government of the day", Fr. Okafor said. According to the priest, "pensioners have been sadly shortchanged in a manner alien to this clime but nobody is kicking against it", even as he wondered how the state government expects victims, their friends and relations to be in the face of the glaring injustice. "How can we be happy when our aged fathers, mothers and relations are suffering untold hardship and avoidable deaths? Governor Rochas Okorocha's praise singers are still not seeing anything wrong in what their principal has done", Okafor said. Taking a hard look at what he termed "the senseless killing and maiming of innocent citizens by herdsmen", the cleric sought to know how agrarian policy of the Federal Government can be realized in the prevailing circumstance. "The Federal Government wants us to return to the farm but herdsmen have been killing and maiming innocent citizens in this land. We are yet to observe concrete steps taken by government", Fr. Okafor said. While saying that people abandon substance and pursue shadow in Nigeria, the Catholic cleric however lamented that "there is so much hatred, acrimony, rancour, murder and other serious crimes in our country". He then cautioned that "if we must get out of today's recession, the federal and state governments should look for the best hands to manage the country's affairs, irrespective of their political, ethnic or religious leaning, otherwise, we will fail".

Naira plunges further as CBN resumes dollar sales to BDCs next week 11:31:11 AM adekunle Lagos – The Naira on Friday depreciated further at the parallel market as dollar scarcity worsened, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

ENUGU- Igbo youths in their numbers, once again took to the streets of Enugu, Friday, demanding for a public apology from the Nigerian Police over the raid on Abuja home of former first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan. It could be re-callled that the Police authorities had declared that the residence was raided following a tip-off that money was stashed in the place. However, the youths who stormed Enugu metropolis after submitting a letter at the Enugu State Police Command said Mrs. Jonathan deserved public apology since nothing was found in her home. Spokesman of the group, Comrade Nwachukwu Kachukwu David, who addressed journalists called on the Federal Government to face various challenges facing the nation instead of engaging in unnecessary witch-hunt. ‎ He declared that: “power supply has gone from bad to worse; many homes could not buy rice for Christmas; economic policies have crippled businesses but instead of finding solutions, Buhari’s government is chasing after innocent citizens.” Nwachukwu further stated that “The entire Igbo Youths stand here today to unequivocally condemn the ceaseless harassment of our daughter, former first Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan. “The latest of this onslaught is the raid on her Abuja house by operatives from the Force Headquarters. This is coming at a time she is still under a vicious attack by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. “It is even more curious considering the claims by the Police authorities that the raid was carried out over spurious tip-off that huge cash was being kept in the house. “However, after the embarrassing invasion, the police operatives came out with nothing. This is a serious justification to our stand all these while that the attack on Dame Jonathan is politically motivated. Where then is the so-called cash stashed in the house? Who gave the said tip-off? What do they stand to gain by continuously maligning the former first lady? “We are appalled that having served this country with their utmost capacity and having conceded defeat even when they were being urged on, the former first lady is facing this unwarranted persecution. “It is quite clear that all agents of government have been unleashed on them for no just cause- only with the sole aim of humiliating and bringing Jonathan and his family to public ridicule. “Now that they carried out this action and it ended as a wild goose chase, how would the Police compensate her for this national embarrassment?” The youths demanded that “the Police should tender unreserved apology to the former first Nigerian family. We also demand that henceforth they should be treated with dignity and accorded the respect they deserve. “We equally re-echo our demand again that all her accounts, which were hitherto freezed by the EFCC, should be un-frozen. Jonathan and his family should not be cowed down merely because they chose to toe the path of peace and honour for the unity of Nigeria. “May we also state here that other persons have served this country in the same capacity and till date nobody has harassed them. We say time has come for and end to this virulent attack. This is the only way to convince us that Nigeria is indeed one and that it is not a country where some persons are sacrificial lambs. Enough is enough!‎” The post Igbo youths protest clampdown on Mrs Jonathan appeared first on Vanguard News.

Trump not to Nadal's taste 11:16:14 AM adekunle Former tennis world number one Rafael Nadal said Friday that US President-elect Donald Trump was not quite to his taste while lamenting Spanish politics has also, in his view, become too razzmatazz. “It’s not my style. I was in the United States when Trump was on the campaign trail,” Nadal told Spanish online site El Espanol as he limbered up for the Australian Open. “It is true that I don’t care for his manner of speaking — his way of expressing himself is not a style I appreciate,” added Nadal, while conceding he was no expert on the US political scene. “Also, I’ll be honest — the other option didn’t do much for me either,” added the Spaniard in allusion to defeated Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Nadal consoled himself with the thought that in a globalised world Trump would not necessarily be able to have things all his own way. The Mallorcan winner of 14 Grand Slam singles titles was more guarded in his assessment of the incoming president than actress Meryl Streep, who earlier this week used the Golden Globes ceremony to blast Trump. Nadal did criticise a Spanish political establishment left in virtual paralysis for much of last year after inconclusive December 2015 elections before conservative leader Mariano Rajoy was sworn in to head a new minority government. “Everything is turning into a show — and Spain is not a show. Spain is a country, our present and our future,” the 30-year-old said, indicating he believed supporters of different strands of political opinion should reach out for the good of the nation. Nadal, whose season was plagued by a wrist injury last season, said he was ready for the Australian Open which starts on Monday. “I feel good today,” said Nadal, currently ranked ninth, adding that if he could stay fit he could get back to competing with the best. Nadal’s preparations were hit in terms of match fitness at least when he lost to Milos Raonic in the quarter-finals in Brisbane after first winning an exhibition event in Abu Dhabi. “Injuries or no injuries I’ve had a fantastic career to date — but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to improve. Of course I do,” he concluded. The post Trump not to Nadal’s taste appeared first on Vanguard News.

CAF boss Hayatou facing challenge over 3rd term 11:12:03 AM adekunle CAF executive committee member Ahmad Ahmad said Friday he will challenge long-serving Issa Hayatou in March for the presidency of the African football body. Cameroonian Hayatou, 70, has run CAF since succeeding Sudanese Abdel Halim Muhammad in 1988 and is seeking an eighth four-year term. Issa Hayatou The CAF confirmed in Libreville meanwhile that Hayatou was standing for a new term through to 2021. Ahmad, the Madagascar Football Association president, told reporters in Libreville that his candidacy had been accepted. “My candidacy for the position of Confederation of African Football president has been approved,” he said. Ahmad is in the Gabonese capital ahead of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations tournament, which kicks off Saturday. Ahmad faces a huge task to unseat Hayatou as two previous challengers — Angolan Armando Machado and Botswana’s Ismael Bhamjee — suffered humiliating defeats. The presidential election will be held in Addis Ababa during the 60th birthday celebrations of CAF. Officials wanting to become president of the Cairo-based body must be part of the executive committee. Following a lead set by world governing body FIFA, CAF last year agreed that future presidents of the confederation will be restricted to a maximum of three four-year terms. This creates the possibility of former international middle-distance runner Hayatou remaining in power until he is 83.

Guardiola concerned by Kompany's injury woes 11:07:13 AM adekunle Pep Guardiola admits he is not certain if injury-plagued Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany will ever return to peak form. Kompany is back in first team contention having had an eight-week lay-off for a knee problem he sustained against Crystal Palace in November. Guardiola That was the Belgium centre-back’s 35th injury since joining the Premier League club from Hamburg in 2008. Now, at the age of 30, Kompany’s long-term fitness and durability is uncertain and even his City manager has no idea whether the defender will recapture the dominant displays that made him such a key player. “I don’t know, it is a good question. It is not the first time we have talked about that,” Guardiola said when asked about Kompany’s future on Friday. “The good news is he is back and hopefully he stays fit for a long time because then we will see what level he is at. “When he is fit, he is at the top level, we cannot deny how good Vincent is, but to achieve that maybe he needs a bit of time. “Everybody needs that when you have been out for a long time. Mentally he is strong, he knows what he needs to do, but what I would like is for him not to put a lot of pressure on himself. “He needs weeks and weeks and weeks of training sessions and to just go out there and play the games. “He doesn’t have to put pressure on himself to do amazing things, he just has to do the simple things and be the defender he was. “He just needs to keep it simple and do the things he had always done. Once he is back up and running, he will achieve the things he wants, he will get back to his level.” – Mentality – Kompany has repeatedly claimed that he feels he can regain his full fitness and enjoy an uninterrupted run in the first team. But Guardiola revealed that he has spoken with the player and warned him to take his comeback in a steady and sustainable manner. “Yes, his mentality is that he feels he wants to come back immediately,” Guardiola said. “He wants to be perfect immediately, but I know, in this business, you do not get time. “You are judged immediately, but he has to feel his way. His manager and his teammates will give him time to come back, he has been away for a long, long time.” Guardiola must name his Champions League squad for the knock-out stages in two weeks and the Spaniard admitted he must make a decision on whether to risk naming Kompany to one of the places. “I haven’t thought about the Champions League squad yet,” he said. “He was on the list for the first half of the season, but unfortunately he was injured and could not play. “We are going to see which players are going to be involved, everybody has a chance. Hopefully, he is able to play (in the Champions League) in the second half of the season.” One player whose City career is currently being delayed is the Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus who has not completed the paperwork over his January transfer to Eastlands. Although Jesus’s move was initially agreed last year, Guardiola confirmed the administration process is delaying the highly-rated 19-year-old’s debut.

I'm calmer than Klopp says Mourinho 11:04:12 AM adekunle Jose Mourinho claims he is a calmer manager than Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp despite having been sent to the stands twice for disciplinary reasons this season. United manager Mourinho has guided his team to nine successive wins in all competitions, and even though they are currently sixth, they could make up significant ground on the Premier League’s top four by beating Liverpool on Sunday. Mourinho United’s run, which includes six straight league victories, has moved them to within five points of Liverpool, who begin the weekend in second place. Klopp suggested on Friday that both managers are driven by anger, and that is the reason for their sustained success. Mourinho, though, believes he is calmer, even though he has faced three Football Association charges since taking charge at Old Trafford last May. The former Chelsea chief was sent to the stands against Burnley in October for a half-time dispute with referee Mark Clattenburg, and suffered the same fate in a league game against West Ham after he kicked a water bottle. Mourinho received a one-match touchline ban for both offences, and a separate fine of £50,000 ($60,000) for making comments about referee Anthony Taylor before United’s 0-0 draw at Anfield in October. “I just think I like to win like every manager likes to win. Everyone has his own personality. Everyone has his own style of coaching and his own style of leading,” Mourinho told reporters on Friday. “Probably we have some qualities that are similar, for sure we have other qualities that make us really different people and different managers. “But looking to this match, I think he wants to play the game as much as I want to. He is as motivated as I am. “I’m not sure if he’s so calm as I am, but it’s just one more big game in our careers.” Mourinho acknowledges that he still has the hunger for success that has brought him eight domestic league titles across four countries during his managerial career, as well as the two Champions League triumphs. His first significant impact at Old Trafford as a manager was in March 2004, when his Porto team knocked United out of the Champions League in the last 16. Mourinho celebrated a decisive late goal in the second leg of that tie, which Porto won 3-2 on aggregate, by running down the touchline. The United manager joked that, even though he is 13 years older, he is still more than capable of repeating that celebration at the right moment. “Yeah I can run. The problem is to score a winning goal in the last minute. I can still run, though, it’s no problem,” he said. Mourinho indicated that winger Memphis Depay could yet stay at United beyond the end of the January transfer window, despite interest from Lyon. “The offer we had is far from being reasonable for us. He is our player. If nothing happens he is one more for us,” Mourinho said. The post I’m calmer than Klopp says Mourinho appeared first on Vanguard News. Bilateral trade: Ambode meets Bbritish, German envoys 11:00:20 AM adekunle …Insists Plans To Make Lagos Hub Of Commerce, Tourism In Africa On Course Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Friday said the vision of his administration to create a more prosperous and safer Lagos and transform the State into the hub of commerce and tourism in Africa remained on course and all efforts would be geared towards achieving the desired result. Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode (right), with British High Commissioner, Mr. Paul Arkwright during a courtesy call on the Governor at the Lagos House, Ikeja, on Friday, January 13, 2017. Governor Ambode, who spoke at Lagos House in Ikeja when he received on courtesy visit the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Mr. Paul Arkwright, said he remained committed to transforming Lagos from being the commercial hub of Nigeria to that of Africa just like London is the hub of commerce and tourism in Europe. He recalled the historical ties between Nigeria and Britain and vowed not only to continue to uphold the relationship and scale it up for the benefit of the people, but also ensure the protection of British nationals and their investments in the State. He said: "We are doing everything to make sure that we take as much as possible from the expertise of the British companies and I want to see a situation where how London is the hub of European commerce and tourism, we can also make Lagos to be the hub of African commerce and tourism and that is where we are going. "We want to appreciate the partnership that exists between us and the British Government and by extension the partnership existing between Britain and Nigeria. We know that as Lagos continues to be the commercial capital of Nigeria, whatever it is that we do together will obviously grow the GDP of Nigeria because 67 per cent of almost all the commercial activities in the country take place in Lagos." The Governor, who also played host to German Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Barnhard Schlagheck, assured that the State Government would continue to improve on the partnership existing between it and other nationals, especially by creating the enabling environment for investments to thrive. Responding, Schlagheck said he was at Lagos House to further advance the relationship between his country and Nigeria and laid a solid foundation for improvement, especially with the German-Lagos relationship. He said he had been very impressed with the very impressive moves and policies pursued in Lagos under Governor Ambode, saying that Lagos has shown to Nigeria how the country can overcome the economic challenges and once again become a model for prosperity and progress. The envoy specifically commended Governor Ambode for the innovative traffic management strategy, the LAKE Rice initiative and the remarkable efforts to bring in foreign investors to the State. On his part, the British Commissioner (Arkwright) said his visit was principally to advance the partnership between his country and Lagos, saying that the State, being the heartbeat of Nigerian business, is central to his vision of promoting trade, investment, job creation and growth in Nigeria and Britain. He also commended Governor Ambode for his vision for the State, and expressed readiness to work with the State for mutual benefit to the Nigeria and Britain, and by extension, Lagos. "We have had prior discussion talking about some of the priorities of the Governor and I am very impressed by his vision for State of Lagos.

Don't link Boko Haram with Islam, Ex-GrandKhadi advises Nigerians 11:00:08 AM adekunle Ilorin – A former GrandKhadi of the Kwara Sharia Court of Appeal, retired Justice Salihu Olountoyin-Mohammed, on Friday, urged the people not to link Boko Haram insurgency with lslam. The Jurist made the clarification in llorin during an interview. According to him, lslam as a religion that makes peace its cornerstone, adding that perpetrators of negative acts such as Boko Haram insurgents are not Muslims. Salihu-Olountoyin, however, advised Muslims to always allow peace, unity, love, and goodness to fellow human being their guiding principle, regardless of religious or tribe or other inclinations. "The activities of Boko Haram insurgency are purely anti-Islam and unconstitutional, they are not part of lslamic law", the ex-Grandkhadi said. He further advised Muslims to shun destructive tendencies, stating that no meaningful development could take place in an atmosphere of rancour, acrimony and hatred. The Jurist, however, advised Nigerians to be conscious of their security by reporting negative activities or suspicious movement in their domains to security operatives. Salihu-Olountoyin called on residents in the rural communities not to harbour unknown persons in their areas as part of measures to curb insurgency in the country to the barest minimum.

How Small Blokos Made Banker Lose His Wife & His Life to An Agbero! 10:46:59 AM sunday   This is A Sponsored Post..   Dear Reader,                                             If you are a man and you DON'T want to lose your wifey to one stupid "Agbero" or sugar boy better read this true life story to the very end! This true life story is about a 31 years old banker. He  lost his life in Agege part of Lagos State through a fight with a street Agbero all because he had a small manhood and and only lasted for just 2mins!     How Did a Seasoned Banker Got to the Level  of Fighting with an Agbero?                                       Keep Reading! This guy had a girlfriend whom he promised marriage. It turned that this lady was secretly dating another man (The Agbero). On discovering what was happening, the banker got so angry. He could not mad with the fact that his fiancée was secretly "KNACKING" another man behind his back. So he asked the lady to choose between him and the Agbero. Guess What? The babe went for the Agbero, thanked the banker for his many  years of assistance then walked away! Women! Still trying to figure out if he was dreaming or it was actually happening for real, this banker picked up his phone and called the lady’s line. Surprisingly, the receiver was a man-the agbero. “Shebi you don free her?" "Why you still dey call dey disturb my babe?" He continues…. "So na that small money wey you dey give her wey I take dey help life na’im make you dey show yourself abi?” he Agbero was ranting at the other end. This banker, remembered that the very  phone with which they were answering his call was an android phone (infinix hot) he  bought for the babe. He stormed out in anger to meet the girl & retrieve some of his belongings that were in her possession. Unfortunately for him, the Agbero was there too!  Gobe! That was how the fight started. The Agbero broke a bottle and stabbed him around the neck. That's How a Good Banker Died In The hands of A Worthless Agbero! What would make a lady abandon a man  who foots her bills for another who takes from her? Why would a woman cheat on a well to do man like a banker? The answer is simple! That Abgero has one thing the banker didn’t have….. Unlike the rich banker who was a confirm "2 Mins Man"  Big, Strong & Reliable Blokos that can drill that babe till she loses her brain and went for a tout instead of sticking to a reasonable man. You See what man men don't know is that for women it's NOT always about the money. Rather it's about how long your Blokos is & how long you can last on bed that will blow up their mind and make them feel you I their head…in short sturdy shows that it's like a "drug" for women. -Forget About Your Range Rover! -Forget About You Billions of Naira! -Forget About Being a Caring Husband! -Forget About Giving Her 500k For Shopping! If you don't "Chop"  her "honey well" another sugar boy or Agbero will do the "Chopping"  for you and collect that "Shopping Money" you gave to you wife. If you are a 2 Mins man like Indomie, just forget it, you woman will either cheat on you, or leave you along!!! So my dear brother, it’s all about how well the man in between your leg works..can your Blokos fork for over 40 Mins? Can you last long? And that one thing is what women want and they are ready to do anything to ensure that they are fully satisfied to the full, that's why you see that the Bankers Babe left him for a Agbero without.                                                        Do You Know The Worst Part?
