Also she added that, funding and high level of creativity in Western movies has adds up to their quality and that is the challenge in the Ghanaian movie industry
She further explained that movie makers in Ghana have the ability to produce great films of heroes like Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Yaa  Asantewaa  Azuma Nelson etc. but due to financial constrains they are limited
She went on to say that movie makers in Ghana can tell the real African stories, in the interview she listed Woody Allen as one of her favourite film producers due to his typical European storylines and a great fan of Steven Spielberg for his marvelous story telling.

Does he have a private Jet? See Top 10 facts about the Pastor Kumuyi you did not know (Photos)

Nowadays, owning private jets is the new trend for Nigerian pastors. It is so rampant that we have to wonder if Jesus would agree to have one if he was in the shoes of these same pastors today. Here we will try to find out whether William Kumuyi has his own luxurious vessel or not. This would be interesting. Famous Pastors like Ayo Oritsejafor, Bishop David Oyedepo, Enoch Adeboye and Pastor T.B. Joshua are Nigerian pastors that have already been reported to have private jets. Various arguments have been put forward for and against the issue of procurement of a N4 billion aircraft by the General Superintendent of the Deeper Life church. Recently Pastor Kumuyi was called one of the 500 most influential people on the planet apparently owing to his reach in Christendom via his mega church. Pastor Kumuyi is arguably a bigger preacher and pastor than most of the jet-setting pastors, but it is not clear yet if he owns one. What is certain is that he lives a little below the radar

My lesbian story - Yvonne Nelson

Image
M y  interview with top Ghanaian actress – Yvonne Nelson-was a revelation in so many ways. Of the leading Nollywood stars, Yvonne is among those I had not had a close relationship with. I had watched her from afar, seen countless number of her movies and had always thought she was a great and talented actress – someone who combined poise, beauty and style. I had also heard of some unsavory things ascribed to her – the rumors of sexual orientation which some say verged between pure lesbianism and bi-sexualism – all manner of shenanigans that had been whispered and published about her. Some years ago, she came out with a movie, “Heart of Men”, in which she seemed to have appeared in frontal nudity– a development that set off a firestorm of protest among Nollywood lovers –with many condemning the exploitation of graphic sexual images to promote and sell movies – which was a deviation of what Nollywood had always been seen to represent: a family friendly entertainment medium.
