'The department' premiere scores high ratings at Silverbird screening

A new movie which‎ will debut in cinemas on the 30th of January 2015 has gotten a lot of Nigerians excited at its premiere at the Silverbird cinemas on Sunday, 25th January, 2015.

The Department, a must watch romantic/crime based movie is from the stables of Inkblot productions in association with Closer Pictures. Think Corporate Espionage and think “The Department”, which is a break away from the usual norm of story-telling. A secret organization tagged ‘The Department’ run by young professionals, blackmails Top Executives into selling their companies to the ‘man’ behind the Department. Two lovers, Tolu and Nnamdi, opt out of The Department and get married. They’ve broken the rule, one which the department has refused to ignore. The pressure, intrigues, blackmail from the group, soon tests their love for each other. 

The movie parades a blend of established and talented fast rising young stars; Desmond Elliot (When Love Happens), Majid Michel (Being Mrs Elliot),OsasIghodaro (Ex Ms Black USA, Tinsel),JideKosoko (Last Flight to Abuja), O.C. Ukeje (Half Of A Yellow Sun,When love happens), Kenneth Okolie (EX Mr Nigeria, Mrs Somebody),SeunAkindele (Dazzling Mirage) and SomkeleIyamah (Ex face of Visafone, Gidi Up web series).

According to Mr Kene Mkparu, CEO/MD of FilmOne “It’s not your everyday kind of movie, it’s a new wave of storytelling that allows us to surf on ingenuity and sound technical values. It’s a must see as viewers will be enthralled with the intriguing world of Corporate espionage.” 

The Department was written by Chinaza Onuzo, directed by Remi Vaughan- Richards, and produced by Chinaza Onuzo and UduakOguamanam. This highly pulsating movie is theatrically distributed by FilmOne, the distributor of the 2014 blockbuster movies; Half of a yellow sun, October 1 and When love happens.

MUYIWA ADEMOLA has been compared to Denzel Washington

Popular Yoruba actor, Muyiwa Ademola, in a recent chat with Saturday Beats, narrates his experience with a Nigerian female fan based abroad.

According to Muyiwa, the fan asked him to sign on her boobs, and also compared him to 'Equalizer' actor, Denzel Washignton.

“The first time I went to Ireland, a lady saw me and raised her shirt asking me to sign my autograph on her breast. I was really embarrassed. She was a Nigerian probably based in Ireland and when she saw me, she shouted my name and told me I must sign on her boobs.

When a white man saw her and asked who I was, she said I was a big movie star from Africa, comparing me with Denzel Washington. I had to sign on her breast because she told me that if I did not do so, she would not put down her shirt and it was very cold. I inscribed my signature on her breast while trying not to touch it,” he said.

MoreKlue Group, the organizing company of MOREKLUE ALL YOUTHS' AWARDS have released the nominees' list for the 2nd edition of the awards event which is scheduled to hold in February 2015.

In a statement issued by the project director, Ademola Ajibola, he said "In line with our desire to crown new kings and queens who have in the past 10 months been amazing and incredibly excellent in their chosen fields, do we release this tentative list of nominees".

"We are breaking the norm this time as we won't be celebrating the expected but the deserving. We had over 1,000 nominations and the awards jury carefully looked into the works of the 'new hawks' who are fasting taking the society by storm by being agents of change and selected the eventual 150 nominees".

"We can't continue to celebrate the same set of faces, people, brands and achievers. We need to call attention to the new ones making waves and I can assure that anyone who wins any award at #TheCoronation should be checked up after 2 years to see how far they must have gone".

"We look up to support for this cause and we'd appreciate every efforts taken by our nominees to reach out to us as we don't have everyone's contact. We hope to have the world gather to see the new kings and queens when crowned in February, 2015". He concluded.
