[caption id="attachment_4797" align="alignleft" width="247" caption="POLICE IG, HAFIZ RIGIM"][/caption]

By Gistmaster.com

Unbelievable as the story seems to be, It is one of the most guided secrets in town at the moment. Nobody believe that the handsome son of one of Nigeria's richest men could be involved in such transaction problem.

The young man who is regarded as one of the most eligible bachelors in Nigeria works with his father's telecom company as a top executive.

According to news at the disposal of gistmaster.com, the young man was alleged to have reneged on his promise involving a business deal. The other fellow who felt cheated by the billionaire's son had to report him to a special anti- fraud unit of the Nigeria Police Force.

Those who think that the man was too much  for police arrest were shocked when he was contacted, invited and interrogated by the men of the Nigerian Police Force. He was later rescued by his father who ensure that the disagreement over the transaction was sorted out. More on the story later

ROUGH, RUGGED AND RAW:NOLLYWOOD's BADDEST CHICS 2010!

[caption id="attachment_2713" align="alignleft" width="232" caption="Tonto Dikeh"][/caption]

By Niyi Tabiti

Good or bad, they have added their own appeal to a lot of interesting real life drama  coming out of Nigeria's movie industry.Wherever you turn to, whether at gigs or restaurants, (deliberately or not), people tend to read meanings to their actions.

Welcome to the world of Nollywood baddest in 2010. Ini Edo is one name that couldn't hit the list this time.

She went low profile (sort of) after her celebrated wedding to Houston Texas based, Phillip Ehigwina.

Tonto Dikeh is no doubt the queen of the pack for 2010. She is the baddest act of the year.

From one controversy to the other, she managed to climb the ladder to fame and getting everyone's attention in the entertainment industry.

Gistmaster.com gathered that Tonto is so much in love with acting that she is ready to give her all in all, playing roles many considered dirty because of the mouth to mouth kissing, smooching and sex roles that look too real to be fake. She just finished a film known as 'Dirty Secret' and from information 'seeing is believing'

This year, she has the highest number of online stories and celebrity magazines headlines detailing her alleged escapades but she careless because according to reports "she is old enough to run her life which ever way she pleases.



[caption id="attachment_2714" align="alignleft" width="319" caption="Eucharia Anuobi"][/caption]

Eucharia Anuobi:  Eucharia Anuobi has been making headlines for years now, even when she stopped making movies for a while, her drama in public view is enough to capture many pages of gossip magazines and celebrity bloggers.From Lady Gaga style of dressing (She dresses so loud and the make up are  just out of place but some think she does that out of purpose because it just doesn't fit and she knows this), to hitting headlines with tears of 'I am looking for a new husband' - Gistmaster.com even captured her alongside a man many considered her younger lover. She later denied that the guy was younger but agreed that there was something going on between them.

Gistmaster.com research shows that unlike Lady Gaga who can get away with any kind of look in the US, Eucharia seems not have followership as far as fashion and style is concerned. But she admits that she is one of Nollywood's baddest!



[caption id="attachment_2715" align="alignleft" width="480" caption="Cossy Orjiakor"][/caption]

Cossy Orjiakor: Cossy Orjiakor is a reality show!Yes, that is what most people call her. Whether on screen or in the neighborhood of our homes or offices, Cossy plays her role well by dangling those natural endowment she has on her chest. She is never tired of showing us how big and nutritious are the  two 'oranges' on her chest.

Right from when she featured in Obeesere's musical video courtesy Gbenga Adewusi and feed back from  her cover page story in Ace magazine (published in those days by the duo of Femi Davies and Segun Banjo), Cossy hardly stay a week or two without any controversy.It is on record that she has appeared on magazine cover more than 80 per cent of so called award winning actresses in Nollywood.

Aside a few roles here and there in Nollywood flicks, Cossy's ambition to be a famous singer couldn't fly...but that doesn't mean she is not enjoying life. She reportedly has her own house in elitist area of Lekki, Lagos. A lot of men go crazy seeing her pictures (forget those who say "look at this stupid girl" yet they can't put their eyes off)



[caption id="attachment_2716" align="alignleft" width="320" caption="Anita Joseph"][/caption]

Anita Joseph: Anita Joseph came in quietly into the entertainment industry but  she has stayed put as one of those tagged as the baddest in the movie industry for sometime now. Lets give it to her, she has curves in the right places, she is tall, finds her way round with those sexy smile. She says her mind, wear anything she likes (careless whether or not she is showing too much flesh) and her favourite spots are Lagos hangouts.

She has made headlines- from allegedly having marathon 'something' with singer Kelly Handsome on the rug to fighting actress Ebube Nwagbo over Kingsley of KC Presh.Anita Joseph has told us many times that men can kill themselves because of her 'backside'

[caption id="attachment_2717" align="alignleft" width="480" caption="Anita Joseph"][/caption]

She has also granted no holds bared interviews.

Mercy Johnson: Kogi State born actress, Mercy Johnson is no doubt one of the most talked about actress of this generation. She is the queen of curves (Ini Edo too) - As far as issues are concerned, she has always been the focus. Aside Genevieve, Mercy Johnson is perhaps the other actress whose has name has been linked to many men especially millionaires outside the entertainment industry. She promised us in interviews granted media houses that she would get married in early 2010 but it didn't happen,we pray that 2011 will be her year!!!

The TENANT™: International Award winning Movie by Nigerians set to premiere in Lagos.



Today, Broken Manacles Entertainment, announced the forthcoming premiere of their multiple award winning movie called: The TENANT™. The movie which was also written, produced, and directed by Jude Idada and Lucky Ejim, two Nigerian emigrants in Canada was shot at various locations in Canada and Nigeria with Dare ‘BabaDee’ Fasasi as co-director.
Faced with the onerous challenge of breaking into Hollywood, the duo of Lucky Ejim, and Jude Idada founded the film production company called Broken Manacles Entertainment Inc.
The movie has already won international accolades that include:
Audience Choice Award, Best Feature Film–(Hollywood Black Film Festival2009), Beverly Hills, California;
Best Feature Film – (Moving Image Film festival2008), Toronto Canada.
The movie billed to premiere in Lagos sometime in October, 2009 at the cinemas tells the tale of the average African emigrant in search of a better future for himself and his family: Obinna, a Nigerian refugee in Canada, faces deportation in 30 days. When all hope seems lost, a chance confrontation with Timothy, his terminally ill landlord, provides him an opportunity to remain in the country. Timothy who is a former immigration officer makes him a deal; he will intervene in his pending deportation if Obinna finds his estranged daughter Nicole and convinces her to see him one last time before he dies. With the clock ticking, Obinna fights to save his dreams, in the course of which he stumbles on a discovery that will shake the very foundations of his beliefs.
So far the movie has been screened at various film festivals in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. In the words of the movie director Lucky Ejim: "…Some of the ideas that emanated from our research was the pain associated with the need to survive, to love and to forgive, but these words alone wasn’t enough to make an interesting film so we decided to quantify pain…" Following the screening in Canada, some of the guests had this to say:
".... This film makes Nigeria proud. Great storytelling, Great acting, Great Directing, There should be a part two" - His Excellency, Professor Iyorwuese Hager (High Commissioner of Nigeria to Canada);
".... I loved this film. As a successful writer, I couldn’t even fathom the plot line, twists, reversals etc. The language was marvelous. The directing is superb. I am in awe." - Robert Eisele Writer (The Great Debaters)
The official premiere of The TENANT™ would be preceded by a screening of the movie to the media and the online blogging community on the 16th of October, 2009. The movie trailer and additional information about the TENANT™ movie are available at: www.thetenantmovie.com.
