Pirated Copies Of ‘Lionheart’ Movie By Genevieve Nnaji Sold For N150 In Lagos Traffic

Lionheart, a movie by Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji has been spotted getting sold for N150 in Lagos traffic. This is just barely days after the movie debuted as the first Nigerian movie on Netflix.

A disappointed Nigerian shared a video of how shocked he was to see the pirated copy of the movie getting sold in traffic.

He write:

“Can you imagine how these people spoil people’s business? Common, this movie is not even 1 week old and it’s already selling in traffic for N150. This is bleeped up and sad after all the work a person will put into a movie? Naaaaa COMMON!”

Omoni Oboli cancels 'Okafor's Law' movie premiere after served a court injunction for stealing story

Sometime in September 2016, Omoni Oboli was accused of copyright infringement for the Okafor's Law title she gave her movie, by a Canada based writer, Jude Idada. The nollywood actress Omoni Oboli was also accused of stealing his story and idea for her new movie "Okafor's Law."
Idada revealed this in an exclusive interview with TNS. He also stated that Oboli  copied his idea for her directorial debut, "Being Mrs Elliott."

However, the actress/producer maintained her silence and went on to promote and allegedly set a release date for the movie for March 31st with the
premiere today, even after a demand letter was sent, and the matter was taken to court for the copyright infringement and trademark violation.

Today, an injunction was gotten to prevent Okafor's Law premiere and also the release on the 31st of March, in the case in which Omoni Oboli, Dioni Visions & Filmone Distribution are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Defendants respectively

Omoni Oboli has however cancelled the premiere today, as she will be guilty of disregarding the order of the court and might be charged for contempt of court order.

Making movies is good business.

Films generate income from several streams, including theatrical exhibition, home video, television broadcast rights & merchandising.

Yvonne Nelson's Leg Cut Off? (Photo)

We are  at a loss what might have happened to Ghanaian sweetheart Yvonne Nelson.

Apparently, she was involved in an accident of some sort in her role in the upcoming movie, The Bachelors, and her leg had to be amputated. A lot of concerned fans went aghast with horror at the sight of the picture which Yvonne Nelson posted on Instagram two days ago.

We have had numerous calls and emails wanting to know whether it was true that indeed Ms Nelson's leg has been cut off.

What we can confirm from what she posted on Instagram is that Yvonne Nelson from the last time she was sighted in town is hale and hearty. There is nothing wrong with her apart from the fact that she was giving fans a lead into her new production which is yet to hit the Theatres with this post.

She actually wrote "Watch out for this 1!!!! The Bachelors" as she posted the picture. Forget all the rumours going around, there is NOTHING wrong with Yvonne Nelson.

We can't wait to watch this one as we hear it was one challenging role for Yvonne Nelson.

The Telegraph Features Omotola Jolade Ekeinde As The Biggest Film Star You’ve Never Heard Of.Please read This Carefully.

OMOSEXY

Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, aka 'Omosexy’, is the queen of Nollywood according to The Telegraph , She’s appeared in more than 300 films, pulls in 150 million viewers for her reality-television show and has been named one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

She scores a zero on the Hollywood Richter scale. She has never starred in a major motion picture. Her most recent film, Last Flight to Abuja, means nothing to devotees of Netflix and LoveFilm.
When she sat next to Steven Spielberg at a Time magazine dinner earlier this year he didn’t know her name. Yet Omotola Jalade Ekeinde was attending that dinner because, like him, she had been honoured in Time’s 2013 list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.
Alongside Kate Middleton, Michelle Obama and Beyoncé.The star of more than 300 films, Omotola – or “Omosexy”, as she is known to her legions of fans – is bigger across the African diaspora than Halle Berry.
Her reality-television show, Omotola: The Real Me, pulls in more viewers than Oprah’s and Tyra’s at their peak, combined, and she is the first African celebrity ever to amass more than one million Facebook “likes”.
When I meet her for the interview in a photographic studio in south-east London she is still recovering from getting mobbed by her Afro-Caribbean fan base in a nearby Tesco. “They practically had to shut down the store when people recognised me,” she says. “I actually got scared.”

Omotola is one of the biggest stars in Nollywood, the low-budget, high-output Nigerian film industry that churns out more English-language films than Hollywood or Bollywood (1,000-2,000 a year). Some have cinematic releases, but most are for the straight-to-video market.

When I watch her Stella photo-shoot from the sidelines it is immediately apparent that everything about her is BIG. Big body, big hair, big personality, big laugh: she comes across like Oprah’s sister.

She is here with her own film crew, who are recording for a future episode of her television show. Which means there is also a big, superstar delay – three hours – before our interview can start.

Many of her fans think her real name is “Omosexy”, she tells me, laughing, when we finally get to speak, but it was a nickname given to her by her husband, an airline pilot.

“He bought me a car back in 2009, and that was the plate number,” she recalls, speaking with kinetic, girlish excitement, rattling off sentences in fast, extended flurries.


Omotola in Last Flight to Abuja

“All my cars have special plate numbers, like Omotola 1.” When I ask how many cars she has, she laughs again, with embarrassment. “A few.” When she first saw her personalised licence plate she was horrified. “I thought, 'Oh no!’ It sounded cocky.

As if I was telling everybody, 'I’m sexy!’ Y’know-wha-I-mean?” She punctuates her sentences with this phrase, which she reels off as a single word.

The 35-year-old star has been acting since she was 16. Most recently she starred as Suzie, a passenger freshly spurned by her adulterous lover, in an aeroplane disaster movie, Last Flight to Abuja, which was the highest grossing film at the African box office last year.

Her breakthrough role came in 1995, in the Nollywood classic Mortal Inheritance, in which she played a sickle-cell patient fighting for her life. Since then she has established a staggering average of 16 films a year.

I put it to her that she must be the most prolific actress in the world. She laughs and shakes her head. “I am sure there are people who have beaten that record in Nigeria. Trust me.

It is easy to turn around with straight-to-video movies. It is the fashion to shoot until you drop, night and day. You have to remember that we are on very low budgets, so there is no time to wait.”

Nollywood began fewer than 20 years ago on the bustling streets of Lagos. Its pioneers were traders and bootleggers who started out selling copies of Hollywood films before graduating into producing their own titles as an inexpensive way to procure more content for a burgeoning market.

The traders finance the films (the average budget is £15,000-£30,000), then sell copies in bulk to local operators, who distribute them in markets, shops and street-corners for as little as £2 each.
