Renowned stand-up comedian, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has called on the Federal Government to make happen the change it promised about curbing piracy in the entertainment industry. The rib cracker said security measures must be put to work before this can be achieved. Speaking with Encomium, the ’30 days in Atlanta’ actor said, “The challenge of piracy is alarming. Piracy worldwide is not only in Nigeria. It is really bad. “Before you put your work in the cinema, it is already pirated. Good enough, they allowed me to enjoy 30 days in Atlanta for 30 days. We have done our cinema runs, we have worked out our modalities, though we cannot totally take it out of the picture. “There would always be somebody who will sell out. I am hoping the Federal Government would apply the change they talked about in the movie industry too. “I live in fear knowing that my movie would be released. We believe the security measures we have put in place would work,” he said. Speaking f...

The former Manchester United manager says the Real Madrid star is a perfect example of a hard worker, hailing his work ethic and talent Sir Alex Ferguson believes he can take little credit for Cristiano Ronaldo’s development into one of the finest footballers of all time. Ferguson brought a teenage Ronaldo from Sporting to Manchester United in 2003 and oversaw his development to Ballon d’Or winner in 2008 before a then world-record move to Real Madrid a year later. The 74-year-old Scot made his share of records tumble during a trophy laden reign at Old Trafford which lasted 27 years and he feels Ronaldo stands a cut above other stellar names he oversaw during 26-and-a-half years at the helm. “Ronaldo is a perfect example of someone who made himself. It’s easy for me to say, ‘yeah, I made Ronaldo’,” Ferguson said when he was honoured with the Walther Bensemann prize, which is awarded for outstanding work in football. “Many coaches might say I made this player and I made t...

He shared this photo above and wrote; "C ouples above; Charlie boy and lady Di, Maheeda and Hubby.   Couples below; pastor Oyakhilome and former wife, pastor Okitie and former wife. Looking at the above couples there are so many things I can deduce.    1. Don't judge a book by its cover.    2. The least likely to win very often win. ----------------------- Is it also safe to ask..... 1. Since Maheeda and Charlie boy succeeded at marriage while these pastors failed, is it better to get counseling from them, rather than the pastors? 2. Is there something they know that the pastors don't? 3. Do the pastors themselves need to be counseled by the couples on top? 4. Are we getting the whole concept of marriage wrong? 5. Does everyone really have someone made for them? 6. Is cooking as important as one pastor claimed? 7. Did the pastors not hear from God before they married their former spouses, or did they hear wrong? You know '56' sounds very much ...

The excited new dad shared these photos with his babies on Social media while thanking God for the safe arrival of his babies. He wrote; "God has shown me great favour and mercy today the 19th day of October 2016. In 2003, God led me to marry my good and humble wife, as a young graduate of Uniben, serving my NYSC, but little did we know what will befall both of us. For 13 good years we waited, we cried, we were hopeless and sometimes dejected, we had mental torture for we could not have a child in the marriage. But our faith in God kept us hoping that one day God will answer our prayer. As human we got to a stage that we felt all hope of having babies is gone, even at this stage we maintained our close walk with God that even if He did not give us any child we were ready to go childles...
