RUKE AMATA HAS DONE THE IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE PAST CAME CALLING MOVIE



If anyone says a Scion of the Amata dynasty does not know what he or she is doing as per movies,then something is technically wrong somewhere.Moreso when this particular Amata seems to have done the seemingly impossible-produce a movie that is 80% UK based Cast.Ruke Amata( who is a man not a woman as we have noticed many erroneously assume)is not an Activist as far as we know but with his Class Act UK experiment where talents are discovered,he has just changed the norm where mainly Actors from the Motherland are used in movies at the detriment of UK based ones.His latest work,The Past Came Calling which addresses issues like advanced free fraud (419),inter-racial relationship,juveline deliquencies,effects of divorce on a child,and sins of the father being visited on the child is a film we really recommend.
















The Past Came Calling without asking for it has changed the African UK movie landscape and if the feelers from those who stormed the venue last friday is anything to go by,an Amata has successfully crossed the Atlantic to do what his Clan do best.



Having said all that,what pray was Ruke doing with that phone?!

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NIGERIA AND THE UK IS INFRASTRUCTURE-GOV.GABRIEL SUSWAM OF BENUE STATE

.pix show Gov .Suswam and the First Couple of Nigeria,President Goodluck and First Lady,Patience Jonathan in a celebratory mood.

The Who-is-Who in Nigeria Democracy
Awards held recently in the UK. It had
Categories such as the Most Outstanding
Governors, Emerging Political
Phenomenon, Head of Government
Agency, Ministers, Senators, Honorable
members, State Speakers , LGA Chairmen
and Youth Crusaders



This event, we learnt from a member of
the organising Committee, Comrade Tosin
Adeyanju honours notable Nigerians or
group who have served the people well.
This particular one which held in Central
London considered icons in the current
Nigerian democratic experience from
1999 till date. The Central Association
of Nigerians in the UK (CANUK) led by
Chief Bimbo Afolayan gave its backing
to the ceremony after a scrutiny of the
awardees and enjoined Nigerians to
back the Goodluck Jonathan government
rather than just criticizing. CANUK, he
revealed, is working earnestly for people
in the diaspora to participate fully in
future elections in Nigeria.

Winners include Hon Femi
Gbajabiamila (Outstanding Honourable
Member of the House of Representsstive)
who dedicated his award to the
member of the NYSC who died
during the last election.Amb.Dickson
Akoh,the National Commandant
of Peace Corps (Youth Crusaders
of our time),while the outstanding
Governors award goes to Fashola of
Lagos, Gabriel Suswam(Benue),Aliyu
Wamako(Sokoto),(represented by Hon
Dalhiru Meshanu,who dedicated the
award to Nigerians in diaspora),Sullivan
Chime(Enugu) and Adamu Aliero(Kebbi)
amongst others. The next edition we
gathered comes up in 2015.

Speaking at the Ceremony, Governor
Gabriel Suswam of Benue State said those
in leadership should communicate with
the people and those in diaspora should
have a positive attitude towards Nigeria.
Most news in the diaspora portrays a
no win situation hence discouraging
investors and tourists, he lamented.
The Nigerians in the diaspora he
continued have a lot to do in this regard.
If one believes nothing can work then
there is a problem. He enjoined people
to come home and contribute their
quota to the nation’s development. The
difference between the UK and Nigeria
he announced is infrastructure but many
people sacrificed decades ago to ensure
what the UK is enjoying now.
He decried a situation where Nigerians
send their children to Ghana to study
despite the fact that Ghana is not better and this does
not speak well of us. He assuresed that a
lot is being done to deliver the dividends
of democracy especially in Lagos where
the Governor, he says is exemplary. A visit
to Benue also echoes similar improvement
hence our attitude must change in terms
of jobs and believing in Nigeria.

Benue is doing a lot in terms of
agriculture as people with the technical
know-how, for example, the governments
of China and Austria are being invited to
collaborate with the Benue government.
Also, loans are being looked into for
farmers to expand their projects so as to
ensure Benue state retains its reputation as
the food basket of Nigeria, he concluded.

reactions to Victoria Beckham grabbing her man.

Victoria Beckham grabs David’s golden balls (Woah there Posh!)

By Rebecca | the juice – 13 hours ago
Victoria Beckham famously admitted she called her husband David's erm, package 'golden balls' but now her fondness for his lunchbox area has grown to new heights.

The singer-turned-fashion designer posed for a photo in New York showing her grabbing the downstairs area of her hubby's H&M bodywear ad.

David then posted the pic on his Facebook with the caption: "So proud of my wife taking #NYFW by the balls."
And that she has… Victoria showed her collection last Saturday as her hubby proudly looked on!
Once the stress of the show was over, the fashionista set to work viewing other collections and not forgetting to factor in some shopping and, judging by this pic, some fun too!

The snap will no doubt help see a soar in sales of David's Bodywear collection for H&M, especially as the new catalogue has just been released.
Additions to the high street line include Y-fronts, loose boxer shorts, jogging bottoms, vests and t-shirts.
We couldn't think of a better way to plug brand Beckham than this silly shot!

TOP SIGNS HE'S MARRIAGE MATERIAL

Top signs he's marriage material
Trying to figure out if he’s a keeper? Here’s the most common signs he’s ready to make the ultimate commitment.

You’ve met his folks
If he’s introduced you to his parents and is happy to show you off at family gatherings, you can be pretty sure he’s planning on hanging around. Sharing you with his nearest and dearest is a clear indication that he envisages having you in his life for more than just a short time.

He wants children
When he talks about the future he includes you in his plans and doesn’t flinch when the conversation turns to the topic of children. Tell tale comments such as “I wonder what our children would look like.” And “When I’m a dad…” are a dead giveaway that he’s given the matter thought and is keen to move forward together. Game on!

He’s house trained
A little bit of untidiness and occasional laziness is permissible, but unless you’re planning on living like a 1950’s housewife you don’t want to spend the rest of your life picking up his dirty socks and doing his dishes no matter how much you love him. If your man has a vacuum cleaner and knows how to use it, does the washing-up and knows which day the recycling is collected, you’re on to a winner. If not, he isn’t a lost cause, you might just need to engage in some gentle training.

He treats women with respect
The way your man behaves around other women - especially his mother or sister - is a good way of gauging his true character. Next time he’s with his mother, sister or other female friends, watch how he treats them. Does he talk over them, dismiss their ideas and bulldoze them into his way of thinking or is he gentlemanly, chivalrous and respectful at all times? Marriage to someone who doesn’t hold your gender in high regard will be tricky to say the least.

He’s supportive
In a crisis situation your man always finds a way to be there for you no matter how busy he is with work or other commitments. In other words, you’re top of his priority list.
Marriage is about being able to support one another in times of uncertainty or emotional unrest. A man who listens to your woes, does the best to understand the situation and offers advice and support when you’re feeling low or going through a rough patch is definitely someone you want to have around.

Your friends and family approve
When it comes to your welfare, close friends and family are harder to please than Strictly Come Dancing judge, Craig Revel Horwood. Their opinion of your man matters a great deal. It’s those closest to you who have your best interests at heart (most of the time at least). If they seem troubled by your latest match, then there could be some cause for concern. If however, they seem to think he’s Mr Wonderful, you should take it as a good sign. They wouldn’t give you their seal of approval unless they were completely convinced he’s a good egg.

He treats you well
It might sound obvious, but even more important than the way he treats others, is how he treats you. We’re not saying he should put you on a pedestal and shower you with romantic gifts and presents every day – nice as that may sound. We’re talking about how he behaves towards you in public and in private. A bit of bickering and the odd argument are perfectly healthy, but if you start feeling bullied or constantly undermined, it’s time to have a serious think about whether he really is the right one for you.

He’s trustworthy
You need to be able to trust the man you plan to spend the rest of your life with, not just to be loyal and faithful, but also to be honest and frank about other areas of his life including money and work. If he’s lied or concealed things from you in the past, or made promises he doesn’t keep, what’s to stop him doing so again? Marriage is the ultimate promise, so only proceed down the matrimonial path if you’re one hundred percent confident you can trust him. But be cautious, we all have a past and have done things we’re not proud of so don’t judge him based on past form and previous relationships.

He has a sense of responsibility
This is one of the primary qualities necessary in a husband. A man who doesn’t let you or others down when he knows he’s being relied upon, is a precious commodity. A man who doesn’t come through for you on important matters, and who squanders his cash on nights out on the town instead of saving for a deposit on a flat has a bit of growing up to do before he can be deemed reliable enough for marriage.

He’s pretty sorted
Earning megabucks shouldn’t be a pre-requisite, but if you’re planning on getting hitched, a man who’s a grafter not a slacker is an absolute must. A bloke who can show he’s got his act together in terms of where he lives, what he does for a living, how much money he’s got and has plans (that involve you) in place for the future is obviously a far better prospect than one who still lives with his mum, plays on his X-box all day and doesn’t have any savings.
