Nigerian Pastor: Ghanaian Actors Are Bewitching Nollywood Actors & Actresses And Killing Them

Following the controversial death of another prolific thespian in the Nigeria movie industry, Nollywood, the General Overseer of Consuming Fire Prayer Ministry, Ogba, Lagos, Pastor Sebastine Ndu, has claimed that rivalry is the cause of recurrent deaths in the Nollywood. The clergyman, who reiterated that Nigerian actors need total deliverance against the scourge, said that the actors are being attacked by their counterparts in Ghana and South Africa. “Nigerian actors have been outshining these people for many years and they (the foreigners) are desperate to take over. So Nollywood actors need total deliverance against all forces that may be coming from outside or within. The deaths are beyond ordinary,” Ndu stated. In a chat with NollywoodReel, the man of God stressed that “in Hollywood and other movie sectors of the world, actors hardly die predominantly unlike it is in Nigeria and that calls for serious concern.” The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, had earlier told members of the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood and entertainers at large, that for them to be fulfilled in their chosen career, they need something supernatural. Pastor Adeboye, made this statement on Sunday, 5 June, 2011, during a special prayer service organised for practitioners of the Nigerian entertainment industry at the Throne of Grace, Ebute-Meta, Lagos, headquarters of the church. The programme was organised in a bid to pray against sudden deaths and negative occurrences that seem to have engulfed the entertainment industry, Nollywood in particular, for some years now. Some of the movie personalities that attended the programme include Mike Bamiloye of Mount Zion Ministry and his wife, National President of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria, Segun Arinze, Prince Jide Kosoko and his wife, Henrietta, Wale Adenuga, Pa James, Justus Esiri, Rachael Oniga, Hakeem Rahman, Yetunde Wunmi and Esther Idowu Philips, a.k.a. Iya Rainbow. Others were Femi Ogedengbe, Kelvin Ikeduba, Ajala Jalingo, Madam Saje, Ayo Adesanya and Bimbo Oshin, to mention a few. During his brief sermon and prayer session for the entertainers, Pastor Adeboye acknowledged that an average actor in Nigeria is extremely talented, but hinted that without supernatural connections, they cannot have a fulfilled career. The popular clergyman explained that “success in life requires something supernatural. Talent alone is not enough,” adding that if success is being measured by hard work, labourers in Wharf should be the most successful. “Entertainers in Nigeria are hard working and talented, but there is something missing. David would have died unknown but for divine intervention, but unfortunately, most people turn to the devil for help,” Adeboye said. He therefore urged Nigerian entertainers to move closer to God, stressing that He is the only one who can crown their efforts and protect them from terrible occurrences. Adeboye added that a lot of entertainers have even died unknown with their talents simply because they could not connect with the supernatural power that can make their aspirations come true. While citing King David in the Bible as an example, he said “David was a talented singer, but for years, he was only singing for the sheep. But when the king was in trouble, he needed a good singer to pacify him and that was how someone recommended David. He later became the king despite rumblings from other people. That is the supernatural connection I am talking about.” So far, this year alone, notable thespians like Alasari, Ashley Nwosu and Yemisi Eleto have died, the latest addition being Sam Loco Efe.- Source

Linda Abbey, actress and wife of celebrated actor comedian Augustine Abbey popularly called Idikoko, is mad over reports that she is having a clandestine love affair with top Ghanaian actor Agya Koo.

She has threatened to drag to court all the media houses that carried the story, including News-one.

“How can I be chasing him for love? Agya Koo cannot sleep with me because I am a responsible, married woman and I do not cheat on Idikoko. What you saw was just a movie and I was only being professional but it does not mean I want him to have sex with him,” Linda Abbey added.

Mzbel’s Docket Missing

Mzbel

The Criminal case pending against 31-year-old hip life star, Nana Ekua Amoah, popularly known as Mzbel at an Accra Motor Court, seems not to be over yet as the docket on the case was conspicuously missing from court yesterday.

Even the songstress was present at court, the prosecutor, Chief Inspector Seiwah Dora, told the court the docket on the case was not available.

The presiding magistrate, Plange Brew, adjourned the next court hearing to September 13, 2011, after he had sat on the case for just two minutes.

The songstress spent three days weeping in police cells with two other accomplices, Emmanuel Paa Kwesi, 31, and Maxwell Mawuli, 32, who were arrested by officials of the Motor Transport and Traffic Unit (MTTU) for physically assaulting a uniformed policeman on official duty.

She is facing two charges of obstructing a police officer from executing his lawful duty and assault of police officer.

Hollywood Actor Anthony Anderson Celebrates Birthday In Ghana

American Actor and Comedian, Anthony Anderson 

Although Wikipedia lists his birthday as August 15, American actor, producer, creator and all around funnyman, Anthony Anderson on Saturday, August 13 celebrated his 42nd birthday with fans in Ghana. The actor is in Ghana as the grand host for ‘The Spirited Actor: Search for Africa’s Next Hollywood Star’ reality TV series.

After recording the performance show for the Nigerian contestants and the announcement of the finalists who would head for New York to pursue their Hollywood dreams on Friday, Anthony announced to the audience that the following day was his birthday and he invited the public to come celebrate with him at the Boomerang Nightclub in Accra. And that’s exactly what the Ghanaian fans did on Saturday night when they trooped to the venue for the celebrity bash.

Before the event, Anthony put on his Twitter page, “Ghana come and celebrate my birthday tonight at Boomerang”. And after the celebrations he tweeted, “just getting from birthday celebration in Ghana! i haven’t seen the sun come up in a while!” 47238_PUMA - Introducing BodyTrain Toning Shoes Some of the tweet mentions on his experience in Ghana so far include:

“shoutouts to boomerang, aphrodisiac, exel, and office nightclubs in Ghana! Great night!” “I’m about to hit the streets of Ghana! Who got the Banku?” “strange thing happened today a male radio personality called me fine as he was interviewing me. It was a lil awkward to say the least!” “In Ghana and twitter isn’t working on my crackberry! I was recognized as JayZ today! I guess we do all look alike! looking for my lookalike!”

Exposure At Public Events

People dress differently to public events based on the kind of occasion, the weather pattern, the dress code for the event among others, but you wonder what reason will make someone dress very provocatively to a public place where heavy media presence is expected. Lately, what seems to be the in-thing for some ladies, is wearing outfits that overexpose parts of their bodies at public functions. The ladies deliberately dress to expose more cleavage leaving very little to one's imagination. They wear extremely short and skimpy dresses which sometimes go above their knees, exposing their thighs. So is this a new trend of fashion or just a desperate attempt to attract unnecessary attention? Peacefmonline.com has gathered exclusive pictures from different events and how some ladies dressed up for those events.

Majid Shows Buttocks

Majid displays buttocks while Yvonne Okoro does her own thing The trailer looks interesting but can Majid Michel and Yvonne Okoro ONLY get it going for that long (considering how Ghanaian movies drag on and on)? Double D is introducing their first 2 cast movie called ‘Why Marry‘…LOL. How is this possible? Even when we have dozens of Actors and Actresses, majority of the movies still suck …what will happen to a movie made by only two? These two are good when it comes to acting, so I am not worried about their delivery but then won’t it boring? Anyway, until we get to watch the entire movie, let’s enjoy the interesting trailer below… I am told by someone who has seen the movie that, it is a great piece…Make I see for myself first before I go trust am!
