Jonathan Never Gave Us $200m For Nollywood - Bank of Industry

Following the call by veteran actor, Lari Williams to President Muhammadu Buhari to probe the $200million fund reportedly given to the entertainment industry by the Goodluck Jonathan administration, the Bank of Industry (BOI) has denied getting such fund.

The bank, in a statement, claimed Jonathan never gave them the said amount.
In 2010, the former president announced a $200million intervention fund for the entertainment industry during a function in Lagos. The money almost tore Nollywood apart and some of the practitioners who tried to access the fund were getting frustrated because of the conditions attached to it.
But some days ago, Lari Williams, a former president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), called on the President to probe the fund, which was reportedly in care of BOI.

Congratulations on your 74th birthday. Some Nigerians say you are not from Niger State but from Ogbomoso. They even claimed that your middle name Badamasi was coined out of a Yoruba name- Gbadamosi. This is an opportunity for you to clear the air. Where is your root?

I had to answer this same question way back November 1962. I was in an interview with a Minister and some prominent Nigerians during my last year in secondary school. Somebody asked me the same question. First of all, I corrected the way it was spelt. 53 years after, I am glad answering the same question. The truth is, I hail from here – Niger State. My parents are from between Wushishi and this town (Minna). My grand-parents travelled to settle down here. So I think that says it all. But above all, there is nothing wrong from being from any part of the country but the truth is, I hail from Niger state. My parents and my great grand parents moved from somewhere and settled down here in Niger state.

“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the Sun go down upon your wrath” - Ephesians 4:26

Recognise the fact that anger does you no good

When we feel offended to the point of losing our temper, we have the tendency to satisfy ourselves by taking revenge either by vituperations or getting physical. It causes us more harm than the person who has offended us. This is because we have clearly flouted that rule and unconsciously extinguished the fire of God in us.

The National Security Agency’s ability to spy on vast quantities of Internet traffic passing through the United States has relied on its extraordinary, decades-long partnership with a single company: the telecom giant AT&T.

While it has been long known that U.S. telecommunications companies worked closely with the spy agency, newly disclosed NSA documents show that the relationship with AT&T has been considered unique and especially productive. One document described it as “highly collaborative,” while another lauded the company’s “extreme willingness to help.”

The sit-up is an effective exercise for anyone who wants to train both the abdominals and hip flexors. However, it’s also been shown to impose extremely large compression forces on the discs in your spine. That’s a problem.

Bend a wire coat hanger back and forth and, eventually, it will snap. You can’t predict in advance exactly how many bends it will take before it breaks. But you know it’s going to happen sooner or later. Likewise, the discs in your spine can only tolerate so many bending cycles before the accumulated damage manifests itself in the form of pain. Sit-ups may not damage your spine right away. But each set could be moving you one step closer to a crippling back injury that keeps you out of the gym for some time.
