Why I’m Angry With Niger-Delta Situation—Omotola


The Niger-Delta region has largely remained under-developed despite being the air that Nigeria breathes. The country hugely depends on the oil being extracted from the region, but it is alarming that the area lacks some basic amenities it should not have been deprived of.

This was the reason some aggrieved youths in the area took arms against the country and demanded that it controls its resources. This has been kicked against, especially by the people of the Northern region, who insist that the crude oil from the region belongs to all Nigerians.

The administration of the late president Umar Yar’Adua successfully launched an amnesty programme, where militants in the region were lured to drop their arms to embrace peace. Government has also tried to develop the Niger-Delta region to make life bearable for the inhabitants of the place.

For star actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, who also comes from the region, Ondo State, her publicised fight for the region was applauded few years ago. As a UN ambassador as well as that of Amnesty International, she felt she could use her influence to tackle the problem and bring smiles to the faces of the people of the area.

One cannot easily forget how she took on Shell Petroleum, which is seen to be contributing to the pollution in the Niger-Delta region.

Speaking with CNN some days ago, Omotola explained why she was angry with the whole situation back then. She said that she felt hurt, when she was shooting a film in the area, which also revolves around the struggle.

According to her, “It’s very sad. You need to go to the Niger-Delta Region to know what the people are are going through. You then begin to ask yourself that why is there no one helping these people? If you go there today, most of the locals do not have jobs because they are basically fishermen. Most of the women work in the field and the world is silent.

“I shot a movie there recently about the Niger-Delta situation called ‘Up Creek’ and I wept, when I was shooting the movie. I know why these people are angry and to say the truth, I am really and truly angry (with the situation of things there).”

Double-Take! 14 Photos Prove Kim Kardashian and Glee's Naya Rivera Are Morphing Into the Same Person

kim kardashian and naya rivera
Kim Kardashian and Naya Rivera are almost identical — and these photos prove it.
Instagram; Splash
Kim Kardashian's sister from another mister?
Ever since Naya Rivera debuted her lighter 'do at the People's Choice Awards this month, she's slowly, but surely transforming into the 33-year-old reality star.
Aside from the obvious (hair color, helllloooo), we've discovered the 27-year-old Glee star pretty much dresses just like Kimmy.
Oh, they also pose the same way...wear the same things...date rappers...
You get the point — we can barely tell these two starlets apart nowadays.
And these seven sets of photos prove just that:

Color palettes here, color palettes there, color palettes freakin’ everywhere


Kim’s ombre look must have inspired Naya, who dyed her locks right after the New Year.
Not to mention, these gals have a knack for wearing the same hues.

Style sisters: Crop tops and high-waisted skirts galore


We all know North West’s mama has been a big fan of this look ever since shedding the pregnancy weight.
And — shocking! — Naya's a fan, too.

Hot Alert! Curves on display….every single day


Hips out, face down…that’s the way they like to work.

We only share sexy Instagram pics, duh


You’ll never see the gals in a bad light on their respective social media accounts, but you’ll usually see their cleavage.
(Note: Their posing the same way again.)

So shade-y

All black. Check.
Sunglasses on a gloomy day. Check.
Looking the same in paparazzi photos. Check.

Fact: They adore their sisters


Naya posted this shot with her sis on Twitter while Kim published this personal one of her and younger sib Khloé on Instagram.

Same taste in dudes


Just a couple of weeks before Kanye West put a giant 15-carat rock on it, Big Sean popped the question to Naya with a five to six-carat diamond stunner in early October.
Kanye and Sean are both rappers, have good taste in diamond rings, proposed around the same time…

J.Lo, Pitbull, Claudia Leitte to sing official World Cup anthem

 
US pop music stars Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull will join Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte on the official World Cup anthem “We Are One,” FIFA announced in Rio on Thursday.
“Only music and football can attract 80,000 people to a stadium, but a concert has just one artist, while football has 22,” said FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke at Brazil’s Maracana Stadium.
“We are here to break down barriers and show that through sports and music we are one,” said Pitbull, a Cuban-American rapper whose real name is Armando Christian Perez, at the event held here five months before kickoff.
Leitte said the song would show off her country’s love affair with musical and sporting rhythm.
“Music is my passion and football is the passion of the Brazilian people,” the singer said.
Singer Claudia Leitte poses at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on November 11, 2010 in Las Vegas, …
“We want to show the passion and the culture — that’s what we have in this record. We are in the finishing phases.
“This music will be a golazo!” she added, using a term which means “great goal” in Spanish and Portuguese.
Lopez was not in Rio for Thursday event.
Former Brazilian skipper and World Cup winner Cafu said the song “incorporates the rhythms of Brazil and of the Brazilian people — people will dance to the World Cup beat.”
Alexandre Schiavo, president of FIFA commercial partner Sony Music Brazil, also praised the happy marriage between football-loving Brazil and its infectious music.
“Brazilian music is very rich and music and football is a passionate combination,” Schiavo said.
Organizers hope the recording enjoys similar success to Colombian star Shakira’s “Waka Waka” signature tune from the last World Cup, held in South Africa in 2010.
That track was a huge success, notching up more than half a billion Youtube views.

Nollywood is in a disgracefully sickening state


Veteran actress and mother of star director Clarence Peters spoke about her disappointment with how the movie industry is today:

“It hasn’t improved at all. It is now a proverbial ‘ state’ that makes one to weep. Everything has fallen to a disgraceful state. No standards are left. I was on a location in Enugu last month and the production manager was insulting the director of photographer. I was shocked.

The producer and the director were shouting at each other. I could not imagine it. The artistic director would just walk away and actors are not directed on what to do. Any green horn could hit the set and believe that she could sleep her way to the top. She is pretty and sleeps with the Executive Producer. It’s just sickening.

And they say to you, this movie is meant for the market and the cinema. It is not for film festival, just do it anyhow because this is for inside the market. That goes to show there are no standards. It is pathetic.”

Kardashian Sisters at War? Kim Talks Khloé’s Marriage Woes With Lamar Odom on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' (VIDEOS)

Leave it to Kim Kardashian to talk about her sister’s personal woes on live television.
When the 33-year-old appeared on Thursday night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she openly discussed Khloé's personal issues with estranged husband Lamar Odom.
“Khloé wasn’t trying to get pregnant,” the bombshell said about her younger sister, who had trouble conceiving and recently admitted she stopped trying for a child with the NBA athlete a long time ago.


“She wasn’t showing up to these doctor appointments on purpose and behind our backs because she knew [the marriage] wasn’t working.”
To be fair, Jimmy pressed on the issue, which is why Kim shared the information.
But when the host said, “You knew Khloé and Lamar weren’t going to work out, you said it,” she claimed she never remembered saying that.
She was, however, quick to point out that another Kardashian may have been the one who did!
“That doesn’t seem like I something I would have said, maybe Kourtney said it,” shared Kim, who showed off her post-pregnancy curves in a plunging pink Dior outfit.

Harping on Khloé’s failed marriage wasn’t the only subject on the table.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians starlet made sure to praise the 29-year-old as the best babysitter for her own 7-month-old daughter, tNorh.
Khloé filed for divorce from the 6-foot-10 athlete on Dec. 13 following months of allegations he had been having extramarital affairs and using drugs. They were married for four years.
Watch Kim’s full interview on Kimmel, where she touches upon her upcoming wedding to Kanye West, Bruce and Kris Jenner’s split, and much more:
