If you missed the feature, here is the movie’s story line
Brilliant cancer specialist Dr. Michael Durant is emotionally troubled, wrestling with the traumatic loss of his 10 year old daughter from cancer. Immersing himself in his work from the hospital, away from his wife who blames him for their child’s death, he forms an unlikely bond with a sick, loving, but rambunctious seven year old boy Sam, the son of a rich Jewish couple who are major contributors to the hospital’s cancer research fund.
Unfortunately, Sam’s health deteriorates drastically, and soon, he slips into a coma, with only a few days to live. Dr. Durant becomes desperate, willing to risk anything to save the child’s life. A surreptitious Nigerian Nurse convinces him to seek the help of Dr. Bello, an uncertified Nigerian Doctor, known in Brooklyn-African underground as a miracle worker.
Dr. Bello, an introvert with a controversial past, secretly visits the child at night and administers a strange African potion, replete with incantations and by the next morning, miraculously, the child begins to recover, the cancer speeding into remission.
The hospital medical board immediately orders an investigation and soon the secret is revealed and Dr. Durant is suspended. Dr. Bello is arrested and charged with medical malpractices. Dr. Durant soon falls into depression after his wife leaves him. Meanwhile, Dr. Bello has fallen critically ill in jail and can only be saved by the ingestion of that same potion that can only be found in the mysterious “garden of life” nestled on the peak of Nigeria”s sky mountains.

Nigeria - Chris | Olalekan

Today, Friday May 18, 2012 saw Nigerian housemates Chris and Ola depart Big Brother StarGame after asking for a voluntary exit due to an escalating medical condition affecting Ola. In accordance with the game rules governing the DownVille house, where contestants play as partners, Chris has also left the series.

According to M-Net and Endemol, while they are deeply saddened to see these two very entertaining housemates leave the game, they remain committed to ensuring the health and safety of the contestants and therefore understand and respect the housemates’ decision. Further they would like to thank both the contestants for their contribution to the show and their participation and wish them well for the future.

Hope Ola gets the help he needs but we are pretty sure they did rigorous medical tests before they got into the house.

ACTRESS TONTO DIKE BATTLES IBADAN POLITICIAN ROTIMI AJANAKU OVER N5MILLION DEBT

Rotimi

...Alleged moneybag and ibadan politician Rotimi ajanaku (who is rumoured to be eyeing the presidential elections come 2015) is at the centre of a messy debt scandal involving him and actress tonto dike.
According to insider report

"Tonto was introduced to rotimi by fat yoruba actress eniola badmus. And both became friendly to the extent that when rotimi ran into debt in january this year,he called tonto and begged her for a loan explaining that he needed to settle the bills of the lady who had delivered a baby for him amongst other bills. He asked for a loan of N5million which she gave him and he promised to pay her back after five days when the cheque he was expecting cleared but he didn't redeem his promise and instead began to dodge the actress even to the extent of deleting her from his blackberry friendslist and refusing to take her calls".

squealer continues"the actress gave the 'oni-igbese' an ultimatum to pay the borrowed sum or she would involve other friends but Mr ajanaku did not respond. The actress finally told their mutual friends about it,the mutual friends now informed the actress to step back and join the list of ladies waiting to collect back their monies from the suave talking politician who becomes incommunicado the minute he collects any loan."

From the look of this story the borrowed money has probably gone down the drain but I urge tonto to donate money to charity next time instead of allowing herself become a victim of local scam!....tonto shine those your eyes biko!
As for the alleged 'oni-igbese' please stop borrowing money from ladies and doing the vanishing act,the law of karma will soon catch up with you!............selah

ACTORS GUILD ELECTIONS HEAT UP.

Actor segun arinze is set to hand over the baton of leadership to a new president in the actors guild of Nigeria.

AGN is the body which manages all activities as concerns nollywood and the guild has been plaqued by one controversy or the other since its inception and for this years election,three people are vowing to bring a positive change to the guild.

These three candidates include actors emeka rollas ,steve eboh and ibinabo fiberesima.
There are three camps already brewing with each supporting their candidate.
It is interesting to note that every time an AGN president emerges a bad name is pinned on him and the guild members declare he was not voted for and rigged his way in.

It is also interesting to note that the Alist actors do not per take in all activities of the guild and has never done so since its inceptiion.

The guild election is slated for april 27-28 and I urge all members to pertake and vote in the right candidate..the one who will uplift the guild to postively affect their careers.

All three candidates have a good CV but I do not know which of them can combine the 'talk with the walk'.

Vote in your Actor guild president on these dates if you want change.

After the winner is sworn in,make we siddon look!

Checkout the three contenders.
