Roy Keane speaks about the event-

I am really looking forward to coming to Nigeria and meeting some of the nation’s amazing football fans at the GUINNESS VIP™ An Evening With… events.  This will be my first visit to Nigeria and I have heard that this is a country where the football fans are just as passionate as the loyal fans I had for many years at Manchester United.  I can’t wait to share my love of football and stories of my time on the pitch with such an enthusiastic audience – I’m sure they will have a whole range of interesting questions prepared for me!

I am also looking forward to being reunited with my old on field rival, Marcel Desailly, and working together again

Marcel Desailly also confirmed the arrangement

"I understand the passion Africa has for football and how the game unites and inspires us.  I have been lucky enough to travel the World playing football and to meet people from many nations.  But it is the support from the fans that really makes the difference for me as a player.  They are legendary!

It will be great to spend an evening with some of them at the GUINNESS VIP™ events and share stories from my days at Chelsea and playing for France as well as answering the questions they have for me about my football career.  No doubt we will also be sharing our views on the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations tournament and the teams we are tipping for the honours.

I think myself, Roy and the fans are going to be in for a very special evening.

PHOTO SPEAK: YINKA DAVIES' MILK OF KINDNESS

 Singer,actress and a judge at the first Nigerian Idol, Yinka Davies was spotted on the red carpet of Nite Shift Coliseum at the special event organised in honour of late Christy Essien Igbokwe.
 Did i hear you say she came with one aim? To show herself? Well, she is got milk of kindness flowing in her.
 Well Cossy Orjiakor was not at the event, so Yinka reigned supreme on the red carpet as paparazzi jumped over themselves as they fire shots after shots.
 Yinka Davies is one of Nigeria's best female vocalists. She once worked with Lagbaja.Whenever the biography of Yinka Davies is written, certainly there would be  a chapter 'No Dulling'- there is never a dull moment with her.

INI EDO,BRYAN OKWARA CELEBRATES AKWA IBOM WITH LATEST MOVIE PREMIERE

‘I’ll Take My Chances’  the much anticipated block buster, is premiering in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State on September 24th 2011! 

The movie which stars talented actress, Ini Edo and hot new heartthrob Bryan Okwara and lovely dance sensation, Ashleigh Clark is being premiered in Uyo for the world to see.  The movie which was shot in early February has been in post production is finally ready to be revealed to the world. The movie features a stellar cast that includes a retinue of dancers, as well as respected actor Jide Kosoko, Lilian Ikpe, Biola Williams and the late Sam Efe Loco in a spectacular tale that involves drama, suspense, dance and love.  The movie was produced by Emem Isong & Ini Edo and directed by Desmond Elliot. 

According to Emem Isong, co-producer of the film, 'We decided to premiere the movie in Uyo as a show of solidarity with the good people of Akwa Ibom because most of the film was shot there and depicts culture from that area. We also received much support while shooting so it will be great for them to see it first. September also happens to be the month Akwa Ibom state was created so I think its very apt for it to be shown during that period.   It is poignant for me to release this film because this is possibly one of the last most recent films acted by Uncle Sam and he was outstanding in  his performance! The film is infact dedicated to him'.  

‘I’ll Take My Chances’ screens in cinemas nationwide in December this year.
