By Unknown - Tuesday, June 07, 2016
“Scorned” is the story of a rape victim who took her time to plan her revenge against a rapist who completely forgot about the damage he had done to a young innocent girl.
It showcases the psychological damage she went through and the effects the rape still has on her as an adult. And how silence out of fear and shame can either make you or break you. more after the cut.......
Starring AMVCA’s Best Actor of the year, Daniel K. Daniel, alongside other prominently talented acts like Christiana Martin, Okey Uzoeshi, Chelsea Eze, Chigul, Funny Bone,and a few others, “Scorned”, successfully depicts the victimized place of the girl child in a myopic society that has through its conscious or unconscious orientation silenced the victims of rape, who thereafter leave a troubled life they cannot share with anyone.
According to the New York Film Academy trained director, Tokunbo Ahmed, “Rape is a topic people don't really like to talk about. It's a crime that the victim relives everyday of her life. It doesn't go away. Some are forced to not speak up and end up making some terrible choices. We hope that this movie will make people understand that you should not be threatened or bullied into not speaking up as a victim. Silence only makes things worse and disrupt the victim’s life. And the culprit would go on with his life like nothing ever happened”.HOT BIRTHDAY_ Dance Hall artist"Charlie Wonder" releases song to mark Birthday

Dying Nigerian man's desperate plea for donor brother to be allowed into UK to save his life:Photo
By Unknown - Friday, June 03, 2016
A Nigerian caretaker at one of London’s top public schools has launched a desperate appeal to the Home Office to allow his brother to visit the UK from Nigeria for a life-saving bone-marrow transplant.
Isaac Aganozor, who works at Dulwich College, was diagnosed with leukaemia in August and needs an urgent stem cell transplant from his brother Patrick, who lives with his family in Nigeria.
Patrick, a tricycle courier who earns £2.30 a day, was refused a visa to enter the UK as he did not meet economic requirements. This was despite the £36,000-a-year school offering to sponsor his month-long “mercy mission” and pay £1,500 for his return flight. more stories after the cut....
His brother Isaac, 44, who lives in Sydenham Hill, is being given regular high-dose chemotherapy sessions at St Bartholomew’s hospital but has been told that “time is running out”.
A search of the national donor database revealed that Patrick, 38, is a 50 per cent match for his brother, and the only realistic hope of his receiving the stem cells in time. Despite a letter from hospital specialists detailing Patrick’s status as the “only available matching donor for the urgent stem cell transplant”, he was refused a visa in April.
A rejection letter from the British High Commission in Lagos, seen by the Standard, reads:
"You have stated your brother has acute myeloid leukaemia and you are to be a stem cell donor. I must take into account your personal socio-economic circumstances in Nigeria when reaching my decision. I note that you are a tricycle driver earning £69 a month in Nigeria but you state you have £1,500 for this trip. Given your limited economic circumstances in Nigeria I am not satisfied that these provide you with an incentive to leave the UK at the end of your stay as claimed.” Mr Aganozor, who has been off sick from work since December, said there is no danger that his brother will try to stay in the UK after the transplant as he has to care for his four-year-old daughter and ailing mother in Lagos.
He said: "I was so happy when I found out that my brother was a match. But when his application was rejected it was a bigger shock than getting told I had leukaemia in the first place. The immigration officers didn’t consider my health, only economics. It is incredibly frustrating to know that the solution that could save my life is only six hours away by plane. I feel the sickness inside me, I don’t know what to do. My life is gradually slipping away."
Simon Yiend, chief operating officer at Dulwich College, where Mr Aganozor has worked since April last year, said:
"Isaac is a quietly spoken, hard-working man who gets on with his job incredibly well. I’m appalled by the Home Office’s decision. It is essentially because Patrick is a poor man that he can’t come across to do the only thing he wants to do — save his brother’s life. I understand the concerns around immigration and people who want to take advantage of our system, but Patrick wants to go back to his family in Nigeria straight after the operation. Nigeria was part of the Commonwealth yet we don’t allow an individual in on humanitarian grounds for a mercy mission — it is disgusting."
Helen Hayes, the Labour MP for Dulwich and West Norwood, has held discussions with immigration minister James Brokenshire. But she was told a priority appeal for a new visa is necessary, which will require the involvement of specialist immigration lawyers.
"I’m appalled that the Home Office is showing so little flexibility and compassion.
I am doing everything possible to press the Home Office to consider the new application as a matter of urgency, so that Patrick can travel before Isaac’s health deteriorates further."
The Home Office confirmed: "All cases are carefully considered on their individual merits and the onus is on the individual to provide the necessary supporting evidence to meet the UK immigration rules. We are sensitive to cases with compassionate circumstances but all visa applications must be assessed against the immigration rules. The applicant is free to submit a new application with supporting evidence."

Stepahnie Linus Spotted with the Vice president of Gambia_ Photos
By Unknown - Friday, June 03, 2016
Stephanie Linus’ award winning movie, DRY, recently made a debut in Gambia with a well-attended screening during the African Youth Summit Banjul Plus 10. The movie was not only well received and greeted with a standing ovation afterwards, but was lauded by all and further opened up the conversation around maternal health care and Fistula in Africa. more stories after the cut........
The audience was made up of distinguished personalities including the Vice President of Gambia, Dr Isatou Njie Saidy; UNFPA Regional Director for West & Central Africa, Mr Mabingue Ngom; Assistant Minister for Youth Liberia, Ms. Kula Fonfana and many others.
The summit was organised in collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to capture the creative, innovative and pro-active voices of African youth and utilize these voices as a tool to encourage decision makers to address the myriad issues young people on the continent face. It focused on discussions around reinforcing implementation of the policy frameworks in Africa and their pivotal role in harnessing the youth potentials to attain the Demographic Dividend and Africa’s inclusive growth and sustainable development.
Inspired by the true story of a young girl living with Vesico Vaginal Fistula, DRY features Darwin Shaw as Dr. Alex, the legendary Liz Benson Ameye as the Matron and Bill McNamara as Dr. Brown. The movie also stars Zubaida Ibrahim as Halima, the teenager who had to endure a life not designed for a child: to be married to a man who was more than four times her age.
This screening comes just a few weeks after Stephanie Linus premiered DRY in Zambia at an event which was attended by the Zambian First Lady, Mrs Esther Lungu. DRY is currently on an African tour and will be showing in other countries in the coming weeks.
